i think its the fact they realize the attacks will be coming from all angles against obozo over the next year- and while they may try and cry racism they understand people realize what a joke he is...so to set up their defense of obozo they are now defending Pailin so as to say, “well heck- we defended Palin against attacks”...
They are on record for the constant smears and attacks on Palin. Now they have shot themselves in the foot and only at this stage after all the constant barrage do they give these lame condemnations when they have ALWAYS been the one to lead this and even now it is done with a wink because they know Palin has made them the focus and they have no defense. We know they’ve NEVER gone after 0bama.
