Obama Group Targets 'Dangerous' Palin
2009-11-21
Now that Sarah Palin and Rupert Murdoch are raking in the bucks with her Going Rogue-a-palooza, Obama's forces are trying to cash in on it too.

Organizing for America, a fundraising arm of the DNC, sent an email to supporters today in an attempt to raise $500,000 off her assertion this fall that Democratic health care bills would create panels of government bureaucrats to decide end-of-life care.

"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," reads the email from Organizing for America national director Mitch Stewart.

The email asks Obama supporters to donate $5 to "help push back against Sarah Palin and her allies."

#8  The more the left screams about her, the more I want to support her.

#7  the current problems

The only current problem is the threat to their power. That comes first and last.

#6  You're right with the society at large, AP. But it still distracts the rubes, sorry, the true believers in the fever swamps who think all the current problems are Dubya's/Cheney's/Palin's fault. Can't blame a Nobel Prize winning Messiah, can we?

#5  They just keep playing Rule 12:

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Only it is not working so well these days. But they still believe.

#4  tight inner circle

I believe the expression you are looking for is "Central Committee".

#3  I think that Obama lives with a tight inner circle that acts as an echo chamber. The White House honestly believes that their attacks on Tea Parties, Limbaugh and Fox were successful in defining them as extreme right wing and that normal people don't take them seriously.

Now they move on to Palin.

#1  They should sell her book. I suspect they would rake in more than $5 a pop.

My theory is that the response to Palin is little different than the hysterical response of the NYT and AP to the Drudge report. The liberal left has had it's day. Times change. In Palin they see the threat to their dominance.
