Operation Leper (keeping track of so-called "conservatives" smearing Sarah Palin!)
RedState.com ^ | 11/05/08 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 11/05/2008 8:52:18 PM PST by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

RedState is pleased to announce it is engaging in a special project: Operation Leper.

We're tracking down all the people from the McCain campaign now whispering smears against Governor Palin to Carl Cameron and others. Michelle Malkin has the details.

We intend to constantly remind the base about these people, monitor who they are working for, and, when 2012 rolls around, see which candidates hire them. Naturally then, you'll see us go to war against those candidates.

It is our expressed intention to make these few people political lepers.

They'll just have to be stuck at CBS with Katie's failed ratings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. - Did I ever tell you how RedState was able to stock Gov. Palin's campaign plane with twenty of these?. We were glad to. And we were glad not to mention it at the time. We are rooting for Sarah Palin. Don't make us add you to our list. Do you really want to be next to Kathleen Parker in the leper colony?

Guys, I'm incredibly flattered (really!)... but, as the article makes plain, "Operation: Leper" is being run by the folks at RedState.com; NOT quiet, unobtrusive me!

Seriously. It's not that I don't WANNA take all the credit, you understand... ;)

Here’s the youtube of it. Sarah was as gracious as she could possibly be and handled the only way she could. She was told Pres. Sarkosy was on the phone.

Nicolle Wallace to Team McCain
Wallace served as communications director for Bush-Cheney '04 and held the same post in the White House at the start of the president's second term.

She since moved to New York and has been on contract with CBS, offering political analysis for the network.

But now she's cut ties with CBS [Really?] and will be available to McCain full-time, participating on the campaign's strategy calls and adding another voice to the campaign's tight-knit inner circle.

I think this explains how Governor Palin ended up on Katie Couric!

That sounds sooo familiar. I believe they used the same line on Quayle.

"Operation Leper" is a far classier term than what I had in mind:

"Obama's Gloryhole Hotel"

And yes, the first three rooms were allocated to Scott McClellan, Peggy Noonan, and Kathleen Parker.

From the actual entry regarding the Lepers:

Neither is a Romney loyalist, as far as I know. So if it's these two jokers, the Romney-loyalist theory is wrong.
All you Romney haters can go back into your dens again.

It IS time we catch a clew. They destroyed all of our good front-runners in 2006, I’m thinking in particular Santorum and Allen, and got their trojan in there. They are trying to do it to Sarah because she is obviously popular. She needs to show the side of her nature that shook things up in Anchorage. She seems like a bit of a punching bag right now.

By the way, that seemed fine during the campaign — she kept a great deal of heat from landing on McCain, but this backbiting and whining has to stop.

And one more thing, I used to like Nicolle Wallace when she was in the WH, now I think she must have been one of the pinkos that screwed up the second term.

Good, and we need to actually look at this in 2-4 years when these people want seats at the table.

I can’t wait till she comes back flush with cash, rested, NOT tanned, with her own people and lets the rinos eat cake.

The Associated Press Wednesday May 21, 2008, 6:51 AM
A top adviser is leaving Republican John McCain's presidential campaign because he doesn't want to work against Democrat Barack Obama.

Mark McKinnon, the chief media consultant to McCain, wrote in a campaign memo last year that if Obama won the Democratic nomination, he would not actively campaign against him.

The more I learn about the McCain staff, the more I want to puke!

The saddest thing about that, though...? That it doesn't surprise me even a little. ;)

Finding a sentence with the absence of evidence,
does not defeat the plethora of evidence showing Romney
behind every backstabbing innuendo and scheme in Election2008
from his phoney badges, to his pushpolls, to his using
other people from his Hive to attack a GOP candidate's children for his own.

People need to understand that many of the people involved in the McCain campaign were re-treads from the failed Dole campaign in ‘96.

Charlie Black is one of the worst names in GOP circles. This guy is to Republicans what Bob Shrum is to Democrats: greaser and fixer to losers. And McCain retained him.

Make no mistake about it: If we want to get true conservatives into DC, we need to destroy these people. Utterly, completely destroy them. This sniping at someone from behind anonymous sourcing to the media should be punished with such convincing finality and brutality that it serves as a lesson to all DC/NYC moderates: run. Flee. Disappear. We’re mad as hell and we’re finished tolerating your very existence. We’re going to run you to ground, smoke you out and make it clear to all conservatives who you are: traitors and back-stabbers. Gossip mongers and people as small and petty as pre-teen girls.

After seeing how McCain failed to deal with these leaks from inside his campaign, I’m feeling much better about his loss. The man clearly is someone who cannot be trusted in a military situation. If I were in a firefight with him as an “ally,” I would not trust him behind my back with a weapon.

And I certainly would not trust his command leadership.

“Personally I find it hard to believe she did not know Africa in a continent.”

That’s not even the point. As we all know, by now, the point is....only Palin was asked all these ridiculous questions. Asked...hell, she was literally GRILLED. That’s sexist bs. And we need to nail these aholes once and for all.

Palin vs. McCain: Palin Insider Names Names

So according to David Frum in the first article the leaker is John McCain spokesperson Nicole Wallace. The second blames Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt of the McCain Campaign. I do not see a bright political future for any of these. They will be cast into limbo with Scott McClellan.
