The Last Obama Smear?

Or Will Palin and McCain Strike Again?

They have nothing to lose. Unless you count their integrity. McCain, maybe. Palin, naaaah! I saw her last night on Saturday Night Live. SNL did well, considering they were, in essence, hosting Governor Palin. I really don't think she knew exactly what was going on. The Alec Baldwin bit was one of the best indirect digs I've seen lately. And his reaction to finding out who she really was was priceless because it was the same as the heads of state she was introduced to ("she's gorgeous!"). The Update's caricature of Todd Palin was something that must have caught her off guard.

Of course, she has other things to think about - like ACORN. Watch her work it into an Obama smear right up there with "pals around with terrorists."

ACORN officials have repeatedly claimed that their own quality control workers were the first to discover problematic ballots. In every state investigating bad registrations, ACORN tipped off local officials to bogus or incomplete cards, spokesman Kettenring said.

Just how many Obama smears have there been?

1. Barack HUSSEIN Obama "He's an A-rab"
2. Rev. Wright and Liberation Theology
3. "Pals around with terrorists"
4. Massive voter fraud (ACORN)

O.K., those are only the top 4. The other two hundred are just a bit too hard to swallow. Does Sarah Palin herself count as a smear? She uses smear tactics - enough to cover most of Washington, but I think she's comes in second to Ann Coulter(geist). If Obama is elected, Coulter will have a field day along with enough half-truths and lies to set her up for the rest of her life. But she would never retire: she has too many people to "perfect."

One Washington Post comment on Sarah Palin's smear campaign:

The problem is not unvarnished truth, but thinly varnished hatred.

As she proved in her speeches accepting John McCain's and her party's nominations, Governor Palin is a person with acute skills of self-expression. She knows exactly what response - and what bigotry - she will elicit when she denigrates the concept of a "community organizer."

The next two weeks will still be as the public wishes them to be: entertaining.

"There are certainly problems and I don't think anyone disagrees on that," said Wang of Common Cause. "But it doesn't get reported that ACORN finds these registrations errors themselves. They flag them as being no good, but they have to turn them in anyway."

"They don't get processed," she said. "And Mickey Mouse is not going to vote."

True, but Mickey Mouse might GET votes...along with Bullwinkle. Such is today's mentality of the Right.
