President Obama seeks $500,000 for ads to rebut Palin
St Louis Examiner ^ | 11.21.09 | Matthew Cook

Posted on 11/21/2009 9:41:35 AM PST by rface

Another e-mail from info@barackobama.com hit my inbox yesterday. The subject: Sarah Palin.

It begins: "Right now, Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn."

The mail goes on to say "It's dangerous. Remember, this is the person who coined the term "Death Panels" -- and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists."

"Whatever lie comes next will be widely covered by the media, then constantly echoed by right-wing attack groups and others who are trying to defeat reform."

"So we're setting a big goal: $500,000 in the next week to help push back against Sarah Palin and her allies.....We need to be prepared. And we're counting on you help. Can you chip in $5?"

So it has come to this: a sitting president soliciting donations for counter-attack ads on a former VP nominee hockey mom that most of the mainstream media rediculed in the last election. If her claims are so outrageous, why bother spending the money to respond? Maybe because a lot of people are listening to her, and many of them might just agree with what she is saying.

I will never forget during the campaign his quote, “You can put lipstick on a pig..” and his laughing. That showed me what he really thought right then and there!

RE: “That was the only bit I didn’t like about the Hannity/Palin interview. He asked her if she thought ObaMao is a sociailist, or a radical. Palin wouldn’t say. Democrats have been socialist since FDR. This guy is a Marxist! Glenn Beck has demonstrated it.”

***************

I have seen communist USSR and East Germany — back in the seventies — really an education is all I can say. My take on Obama is that he is a full-on commie.

Obama’s team is incredibly stupid.... They never seem to learn that some battles are better left unfought, and this is one of them.

1. They very likely won’t find a thing. Worse, the IRS may end up owing THEM money.
2. An audit may end up exposing all of the people in Obama’s circle who haven’t paid in years. Making them look really bad.

I am proud to be an American partisan extremist one-man right-wing attack group.

BTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT—I thought Palin was a light weight. Someone to be ignored. Isn’t that what the RINOs and Demrats have been saying almost from the moment McBipartisan introduced her?

And to bring up the alleged “death panal” is equally stupid. Wasn’t it Onada or Reid who said it would be taken out of the bill? There must be a recording of it someplace. I think I remember Rush bringing up that point when the Dems first started attacking Palin because of her anti-Onadacare stand.

I smell panic on the left.

That picture of The One kowtowing will be worth a million words come 2012. Any candidate opposing Onada will be a fool not to run with it.

One death panel has **already** been established.

It was part of the Porkulus bill. Check it out.

Anybody else just keep getting a strange desire to cry? I feel like I am in mourning.

My God, I've never seen the like of it. There is outrageous news about Obooboo every single, cotton-pickin minute of the day. He can spend time on responding to a book tour, but sits there like jelly on a bun concerning troop deployments.

Sheesh, the worst president in history is slowly turning into the worst politician in the planet's history.

But, but, but...

I thought she was "finished"? I thought she was "a joke"? I thought she was "fit for a TV talk show". I thought "nobody takes her seriously"?

Sure seems like they are wasting a lot of their effort and energy on a "nobody"...

Why doesn’t he just use his own money? Book proceeds or something.

I know, he likes to spend other people’s money.

Scared of Sarah

There are billions unaccounted for. Probably tens of billions.
