September 9, 2008CNN’s Showbiz Tonight hosted a “fair and balanced” panel of liberal, more liberal and most liberal participants to discuss Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s actionable offense at a Republican National Convention event last week of accurately describing Michelle Obama’s visit to The View.

Left with nothing to say in the wake of Governor Sarah Palin’s game-changing acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last night, the Obama campaign attacked Palin’s jibes at Obama’s thin resume as a local community organizer.
“Let’s clarify something for them right now,” [Barack Obama’s presidential Campaign Manager David] Plouffe said in his Wednesday night [campaign site] posting. “Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.”
Plouffe mentioned that community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women’s suffrage movement, and labor rights. “Throughout our history, ordinary people have made good on America’s promise by organizing for change from the bottom up,” he said.
The one thing Plouffe fails to mention, however, is how being a local community organizer and part of one of the most well-known corrupt political machines in American politics qualifies one to be President of the United States.
Plouffe accused the McCain campaign of employing “desperate lies and personal attacks” to earn a third term for “Bush policies that McCain has supported more than 90 percent of the time.”
Plouffe also made two requests for donations, one in the fourth paragraph and one at the end of his message, in the 13th paragraph.
After the fundamentals of this campaign changed in 36 minutes last night, the flailing from the Obama campaign sounds weak, tired and old.
It was revealed today that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin delivered much of last night’s acceptance speech to the Republican National Convention without the aid of a teleprompter. The operator continued scrolling through the applause lines, causing the written text to be out of sync with its delivery.

Jodie Evans, a co-founder of “activist group” Code Pink who has reportedly bundled between $50,000 and $100,000 in donations for the Obama campaign, says she was dragged by Secret Service from the Republican National Convention after attempting to storm the stage during Governor Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech. Strangely, charges were not filed.
In addition to the bundling, Evans has contributed the individual maximum $2,300 to the Obama campaign and claimed to have met with Barack Obama at a multi-million dollar Hollywood fundraiser. She has also made controversial statements that appeared to support the cause of the insurgency in Iraq.
This must be the “new politics” we’ve all heard so much about. Something tells me a major Obama fundraiser and donor being dragged from the Xcel Center will not make the leftstream media’s roundups in the morning.
Code Pink has, of course, issued a Press Release to confirm the identities of the “ladies” who apparently attempted to attack, or at least distract, Governor Palin.
Just don’t say the left is unhinged. That would be partisan and wholly unfair.
Governor Sarah Palin came out swinging in her address to the Republican National Convention tonight, not only against Barack Obama but also against a media that has been waging attacks against her and her family – including her minor children – at the Democrat candidate’s implicit behest.
All the while, I was giggling to myself. The radical left and their idiot minions in the mainstream media shot themselves in the foot again, and it left a bigger hole than ever before. In launching attack after attack against the Alaska Governor and her all-American family for five days straight – most based in nothing but innuendo found trolling leftist blogs – they managed to somehow turn the acceptance speech of a Vice Presidential candidate into the biggest media event of a 19-month Presidential campaign.
Senator Fred Thompson gave a passionate and moving speech that kept the room in rapt silence. Senator Joe Lieberman gave an effective speech that likely changed a few minds in undecided-land. But the speech of the night wasn’t given from the podium. It was given from the floor of the convention and seen only on MSDNC. The speech: Newt Gingrich’s MSNBC Media Bias Smackdown.
“I don’t know of a single thing that Barack Obama has done except talk and write.”
