MoveOn's Desperate Email Attack on Sarah Palin

I received the following in an email from a kool-aid drinking friend who apparently is a member of MoveOn.org. It shows the MoveOn line of attack on Palin and the weakness of their case:

Yesterday was John McCain's 72nd birthday. If elected, he'd be the oldest president ever inaugurated. And after months of slamming Barack Obama for "inexperience," here's who John McCain has chosen to be one heartbeat away from the presidency: a right-wing religious conservative with no foreign policy experience, who until recently was mayor of a town of 9,000 people.

• She was elected Alaska 's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1

• Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.2

• She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.6

• How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.7

This is information the American people need to see. Please take a moment to forward this email to your friends and family.

We also asked Alaska MoveOn members what the rest of us should know about their governor. The response was striking. Here's a sample:

She is really just a mayor from a small town outside Anchorage who has been a governor for only 1.5 years, and has ZERO national and international experience. I shudder to think that she could be the person taking that 3AM call on the White House hotline, and the one who could potentially be charged with leading the US in the volatile international scene that exists today. —Rose M., Fairbanks, AK

She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska. —Christine B., Denali Park, AK

As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be. —Karen L., Anchorage, AK

Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position.—Sherry C., Anchorage, AK

She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary. —Marina L., Juneau, AK

I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting "A Woman" in that position.—Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK

So Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil. And she's dramatically inexperienced.

In picking Sarah Palin, John McCain has made the religious right very happy. And he's made a very dangerous decision for our country. In the next few days, many Americans will be wondering what McCain's vice-presidential choice means. Please pass this information along to your friends and family.

Steyn: Hostess with the Moosest

The hostess with the moosest Mark Steyn

Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are more or less the same age, but Governor Palin has run a state and a town and a commercial fishing operation, whereas (to reprise a famous line on the Rev Jackson) Senator Obama ain’t run nothin’ but his mouth. She’s done the stuff he’s merely a poseur about. Post-partisan? She took on her own party’s corrupt political culture directly while Obama was sucking up to Wright and Ayers and being just another get-along Chicago machine pol (see his campaign’s thuggish attempt to throttle Stanley Kurtz and Milt Rosenberg on WGN the other night).

I think your younger sons and grand daughters will be Sarah’s supporters for the rest of this decade and until she finishes her second official term as POTUS!

“BTW, my son is a HS teacher and a salt water fishing guide in Alaska...he’s ecstatic about the choice. So are my granddaughters, who will be voting this year for the first time, and are young Sarahs in their own right. Their bb team won the small school championship in AK two years ago, and they crew on their dad’s boat, hike and hunt.”

• She’s doesn’t think humans are the cause of climate change.

Well, I thought of voting for her until I read this and now I see that she is clearly a backwoods ignoramus without a clue.

EXTREME, FOAMING AT THE MOUTH, RAGING SAAAARRRRCCAAAASSSMMM

I received this email at work today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please share these family photos with all of your friends who may be considering jumping ship because of a female candidate in the Republican Party. If you can’t maintain self control and a respectable image for your friends and family as a role model, or if you can’t control your own _ _ _ _ children, what should make me believe that you can lead our country?

Here’s what we get with Sarah Palin!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And attached were 7 .jpg files: Gov. Palin in a skirt in the kitchen, Gov. Palin in a bikini holding a rifle, and five various pics of her daughter with alcohol, guns, etc.

So, suddenly the Dems are concerned with family values, eh?

Oh, the irony....

The kitchen photo with the short skirt and tight top is a forgery — a photoshop, so is the stars and stripes bikini. In both cases Sarah’s head was photoshopped onto photos of other women. I have seen photos purported to be of the daughter that were not the daughter, but another girl of similar appearance.

Snopes link

Truth or Fiction link

I have not found anything on the pictures below. The email claims the blonde is Bristol Palin.

This girl doesn't even look like Bristol.

As an Alaskan and a feminist,

No PICS please

I am beyond words at this announcement....Karen L., Anchorage, AK

Thank God for small favors
