Palin becomes MoveOn target as SarahPAC cash haul surges
CNN ^ | July 14, 2009 | Rebecca Sinderbrand and Tracy Sabo

(CNN) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee is confirming a flood of new donations that push her cash haul close to the million-dollar mark, as one of the nation's largest liberal PACs announced an ad targeting the former GOP vice presidential candidate.

Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton confirmed a report in the Anchorage Daily News that more than $200,000 had poured into SarahPAC since Palin's announcement a week and a half ago that she would be leaving office by the end of the month.

Those funds, along with $732,867 received through June 30 according to federal campaign finance filings, leave the governor just shy of a million dollars in donations to date since SarahPAC's January launch.

[...]

The news came as MoveOn.org began e-mailing members Tuesday, asking them to fund a rapid response ad blasting Palin's new Washington Post op-ed that criticized President Obama's position on "cap and trade" legislation — a major part of the administration's effort to overhaul the nation's energy policy.

The group said Palin was positioning herself as the face of conservative opposition to Obama's energy policy, telling supporters her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."

The group has not yet said where the spot would air, or revealed the scope of any potential ad buy.

But wait, rinos and rats were saying she was finished in politics.

Amazing the power of words. This is outright fear on the dem/lib side. Does anyone know if a similar tactic has been used against Romney? I remember a similar effort against Sanford, before he took a trip down south.

Liberals are seriously mentally ill. They first claim Sarah is an “idiot” with no political future, but now they want to raise money to prove she is wrong. Why prove she is wrong if they have nothing to be afraid of. Ann Coulter was right when she said liberalism is a mental illness, these vile creatures are deranged

Can issue ads be funded by a leadership PAC like SarahPAC?

her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."

And, would you point out these lies for us?

her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."

But, specifically, the lies..?

her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."

I heard that but which parts were lies?

her op-ed was "a marvel of misinformation and outright lies."

Soros is too busy funding Celtic Diva, Andree MacLoud, Shannyn Moore, and the others who are filing phony baloney ethics complaints against Sarah. Wow with someone who has “no political future” they sure have their panties in a knot over Sarah Palin don’t they

I think so... not sure, but I guess yes.

If everyone and every interest group determined to oppose cap and trade, they would make Sarah their spokeswoman and buy her some ads to counter the crap.

What’s MoveOn so afraid of? According to liberals Sarah Palin is supposed to have destroyed herself by leaving her office as Gov. of Alaska.

Sniff! Sniff! Is that terror I smell? Sniff! Sniff! I think it is!

Dear MoveOn.Orgasm:

Bring it on! Your crummy organization owns ObaMao and all the crap which goes along with it.

Your ads will help wake up our side and let our modern day Joan of Arc figuratively shoot and field dress you like a moose.

These leftist groups are like Nazis. They want to bully you into silence. I’ve seen them in action for the last forty years. Everyone who disagrees with them is supposed to shut up. Don’t do it.
