Obama Campaign Mgr Slams Palin as "Pied Piper in Republican Politics" for Hoffman Support - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | November 2, 2009 | BrianinMO

Here is video of President Obama's former campaign manager - David Plouffe - on Meet the Press yesterday where he mocked Gov. Sarah Palin by referring to her as the "Pied Piper in Republican politics."

Palin is “kind of playing the role of pied piper in Republican politics, which I’m quite comfortable with – basically hanging a ‘moderates need not apply’ sign.”
Plouffe was hammering Palin for her role in endorsing Doug Hoffman in the New York 23rd Congressional Race instead of the liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava. Obama's people are trying to spin this as a great defeat for Republicans, instead of seeing that is the triumph of conservatism led by a conservative leader in Sarah Palin.

You can already see the meme developing that Obama's people and the media (they are really one and the same) will use if Republicans/Conservatives win in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York on Tuesday. They will say all this shows is that the GOP has been taken over by the "right-wing extremists" and are becoming a less tolerant, less inclusive party. Get ready for it - it's coming. . . . (VIDEO)

What is remarkable and disgusting is how the MSM can only find one person to criticize Sarah: LEVI JOHNSTON - her tawdry son-in-law!!!

Are there any *high ranking* political leaders of either party finding fault with her decisions as Gov. of Alaska? Nooooooooo!!

No Problem! We can handle it.

Actually, Sarah followed my lead and supported Hoffman AFTER I did.

And where do the Liberal Democrats have signs up encouraging Moderate and Conservative Democrats to apply?

Well if a win in Virginia, NJ and N.Y. is a win for right wing extremists then everyone should be a right wing extremists. It’ll win you an election. LOL

She pulled it off Plouffe — she pulled it off. Meanwhile back at the WH....... zero’s favorables are plummeting.

Democrats and 0bama Administration are coming across as cry-babies and poor-losers.

Both quite accurate descriptions, wouldn’t you say?

I thought Palin was through, a has-been, or never was? How come she commands so much attention? Ploufe and his pals all know that a win in NY23, VA and maybe even NJ will take a lot of the zeal out of the dems pushing for 0bamacare, cap and trade, amnesty, card check, and anything else 0bama wants. 0bama has invested way too much of his political capital on these races with a $30,000 a plate fundraiser for Owens, his multiple appearances fo Corzine and Deeds. When VA goes repub, and Hoffman wins big in NY23, that will let the dems in congress know that 0bama won’t be of much help in their reelection efforts in 2010, and if Palin shows up in their districts, they’re finished. None of them are willing to stake the future of their political careers to 0bama’s. He’s good at getting votes for himself, but no one else.
