(CNN) Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee is confirming a flood of new donations that push her cash haul close to the million-dollar mark, as one of the nation's largest liberal PACs announced an ad targeting the former GOP vice presidential candidate.
Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton confirmed a report in the Anchorage Daily News that more than $200,000 had poured into SarahPAC since Palin's announcement a week and a half ago that she would be leaving office by the end of the month.
Those funds, along with $732,867 received through June 30 according to federal campaign finance filings, leave the governor just shy of a million dollars in donations to date since SarahPAC's January launch.

The news came as MoveOn.org began e-mailing members Tuesday, asking them to fund a rapid response ad blasting Palin's new Washington Post op-ed that criticized President Obama's position on "cap and trade" legislation a major part of the administration's effort to overhaul the nation's energy policy.
The group said Palin was positioning herself as the face of conservative opposition to Obama's energy policy, telling supporters her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."
The group has not yet said where the spot would air, or revealed the scope of any potential ad buy.

Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
A liberal, giving money, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is too damn funny, liberals only know how to spend OTHER people’s money
$oro$’ and taxpayers’ money will be used.
But wait, rinos and rats were saying she was finished in politics.
Amazing the power of words. This is outright fear on the dem/lib side. Does anyone know if a similar tactic has been used against Romney? I remember a similar effort against Sanford, before he took a trip down south.

thank you moveon .org...
You going after Sarah Palin will just bring in more money to her and more support to her.
You people really are idiots...........
But hey thanks and keep on being idiots...
I have no graphics for what I’m thinking; all I can say is: Sarah sure does scare a lot of wusses!!
This is going to be a lot of fun!
Liberals are seriously mentally ill. They first claim Sarah is an “idiot” with no political future, but now they want to raise money to prove she is wrong. Why prove she is wrong if they have nothing to be afraid of. Ann Coulter was right when she said liberalism is a mental illness, these vile creatures are deranged
Can issue ads be funded by a leadership PAC like SarahPAC?
Sarah is a GENIUS!
Let the games begin!
I bet Soros pants were in a wad when one of his benefactors, John McCain, picked Sarah as VP....could explain why McCain and his people are quick to throw Sarah under the bus....McCain needs more Soros money
And, would you point out these lies for us?
her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."
But, specifically, the lies..?
her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."
I heard that but which parts were lies?
her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."
The liberals are panicking at the sight of real Hope and Change.
Soros is too busy funding Celtic Diva, Andree MacLoud, Shannyn Moore, and the others who are filing phony baloney ethics complaints against Sarah. Wow with someone who has “no political future” they sure have their panties in a knot over Sarah Palin don’t they
If everyone and every interest group determined to oppose cap and trade, they would make Sarah their spokeswoman and buy her some ads to counter the crap.
Guess they were wrong.
What’s MoveOn so afraid of? According to liberals Sarah Palin is supposed to have destroyed herself by leaving her office as Gov. of Alaska.
Sniff! Sniff! Is that terror I smell? Sniff! Sniff! I think it is!
Bring it on! Your crummy organization owns ObaMao and all the crap which goes along with it.
Your ads will help wake up our side and let our modern day Joan of Arc figuratively shoot and field dress you like a moose.
These leftist groups are like Nazis. They want to bully you into silence. I’ve seen them in action for the last forty years. Everyone who disagrees with them is supposed to shut up. Don’t do it.
