The McCain camp has just blasted out to its list a fundraising email by Sarah Palin claiming that Obama-Biden Democrats are waging frequent attacks on her family. From the email:
Friends, in the course of a few weeks, the Obama-Biden Democrats have launched attack after attack on me, my family and John McCain. They're desperate to win and they'll no doubt launch these attacks against other reformers on our ticket.
I didn't remember any attacks on Palin's family from Obama, Biden, or their top supporters. So I asked the McCain campaign what this was a reference to.
Here, according to a McCain campaign aide, are the attacks on Palin's family from "Obama-Biden Democrats" that the email refers to:
1) Obama finance committee member Howard Gutman questioning Palin's parenting and her willingness to take on the Veep candidate role when her family is so consuming -- a comment he subsequently apologized for.
2) Andrew Sullivan's demand that the McCain campaign release medical records putting to rest rumors about the birth of Trig Palin.
3) A user diary on DailyKos, which is of course the site of leading Obama supporter Markos Moulitsas, raising questions about that pregnancy.
And that's it.
Meanwhile, just today, on a McCain campaign conference call, McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt laid into the alleged ties between Joe Biden's son and the credit card industry.
Late Update: Markos instant-messages me the following response:
"You could use a Daily Kos diary to justify just about any charge ever made. Same with the Free Republic message boards, etc. But that's patently absurd, and just more of her `rile the base' bull****. If something stupid can be said, you can believe someone on Daily Kos has said it."
FYI.
It looks like The Jawa Report has a smoking gun, today.
Always remember the immortal words of Saint Paul The Apostle who said, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the Faith!"
I am praying for you and your family, and I pray that you stay strong in the face of Obama and his evil subordinates.
Please stay strong for all of us!!!
Wow, Kos seems like a wonderful man. He sure runs one heck of a website !
Amen and Amen!
We have your back, Sarah! Go get ‘em!
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Thanks, Kos.
**...”If something stupid can be said, you can believe someone on Daily Kos has said it.”**
Old KOS Can be honest once in a while!
Madame Vice President: (that DOES have a nice ring to it) It’s going to get worse from here, and even WORSE should (err .. WHEN) the Liberals be DEFEATED.
I just smile at them and say “You’ve run out of arguments, ALREADY?” Facial expressions are PRICELESS when they have no comeback, as you confidently walk away.
If this political hack were a reporter, they would go get the information instead of expecting it to be handed to them. There were 3 significant attacks mentioned. All the reporter could add was, "And that's it." What a farce.
The libs either have selective amnesia...or they really are as stupid as they look.
I didn't remember any attacks on Palin's family from Obama, Biden, or their top supporters. So I asked the McCain campaign what this was a reference to...
In the first place, she didn't say it was coming from "Obama, Biden, or their top supporters," she said "Obama-Biden Democrats." But let's not let any facts get in the way.
Charlie Rangel's not an "Obama-Biden Democrat?"
Susan Sarandon, Matt Damon? The whole flippin' cast of SNL?
And none of those bozos at the Emmys were Democrats...
Markos Moulitsas, the site's founder, said he did not know the contributor's identity but thought that the admittedly "weird" pregnancy questions were a legitimate line of inquiry that he should not suppress.
Bingo. Next they'll suggest Bill Maher is a Ron Paul Republican
Hey, Onada just annointed himself as a “fiscal conservative” today. Remember the game “let’s pretend”? I’m sure all or most of us played it as children. In that game anything was possible. Fun as the game was, I don’t ever remember losing my grip on reality. Onada is just playing “let’s pretend”. Perfectly normal thing for an adult to do. What’s next? Will he magically smite himself as a “Reagon Conservative”? Of course anything is possible to delusional people.
sarah palin; what a woman!; intelligent, courageous, sensible, beautiful, good-looking, loves the 2nd amendment, likes guns, field dresses meat for the table, has the capacity to love her family...and the list goes on.
go get ‘em governor palin. you’re not alone.
