Palin becomes MoveOn target as SarahPAC cash haul surges
CNN ^ | July 14, 2009 | Rebecca Sinderbrand and Tracy Sabo

(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.

Sarah hasn’t even actually resigned yet, and her increased exposure is driving the left nuts. More proof that all the beltway pundits were wrong about her “quitting”, and Sarah was right.

Hey, that’s a great start. I went to www.thealaskafundtrust.com and donated last week. I support Sarah in words and deeds. I hope all who support her will give just a little and erase her debt. The fund even takes PayPal. That’s how I paid. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

I saw someone on one of the Fox commentary shows last week succinctly characterize the left's painfully obvious obsession with Sarah Palin - while constantly screaming that she's 'washed up', etc.

He said that is like the guy (or gal) who claims he (or she) is so over the girlfriend (or boyfriend) but keeps talking about them, even if in a derogatory manner.

For a woman (Palin) who the left keeps stridently claiming is such a 'loser', 'quitter' and 'an idiot', they sure can't seem to stop obsessing over her. Thus, fooling no one but themselves. Despite the hysterical denials on the leftist web sites, they fear her. Rightly so.

The way I read this is Sarah's op-ed will be on a "marvel about misinformation and outright lies" from the left. Or I'm I wrong?

Sarah is our best (stimulus package)
I’ll give what’s left of my money to her
because she won’t waste one penny of it.
I figured out what scares the other side...
it’s looking directly into the face of an honest person...
they don’t know what to make of it!!!!
they don’t see it too often, especially when they wake
up in the morning and look in the mirror...it’s all new to them.

Right now we are outnumbered and are poorer than the billionaire-rich morons at moron.org. But I've got a message for the Hussein cultists:

Why let the games begin, when what needs to begin is the war against the left.

Amazon.com has the life-size Palin stand-up poster for only $27. I’m tempted to get it before the price goes through the roof. LOL!

Yep, exactly. And Palin isn’t going to change for them. She’ll still remain a conservative.

Anyone in their left minds would be scared of Sarah!
She are a walking piece of feminine pulchritude.

Besides: She ain’t scared of anything or anyone. She ROCKS!!!

“These leftist groups are like Nazis.”

Maybe it’s because George Soros is an admitted Nazi collaborator in his native Hungary during WW2. He got to see them up close and personal, and he liked what he saw.

You’re kidding, right? If she’s not conservative in your opinion, who is? Mittens? The Huckster?

Someone on C4P speculated that McCain gave Sarah a 5,000 donation to her Pac and she was just reimbursing him the money. That is a possibility.


Why speculate as that is public info via the FEC filings. In any case it is recorded as a donation to McCain. He may have done likewise to her pac and if so it would be recorded as such.
