Obama/Soros Group MoveOn.org Already Targeting Sarah Palin
It appears that Palin's impressive SarahPAC showing and op-ed regarding "cap and tax" have the lefties running scared.
CNN reports:
(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.
Stapleton told CNN that the PAC, which supports conservative candidates, had received contributions from more than 11,000 supporters, with the majority of the money coming from outside Alaska.
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.
Fight back against liberal smears by donating to SarahPAC today.

Another contribution to SarahPAC made.
The Battle of the Conservatives versus the Statists has officially begun.
So George Soros is now taking Sarah Palin seriously rather than letting the lower ranks (anklebiters) try to take her out. It's time for the heavy artillery, but the key of being civilian you can't hit what you can't catch or catch up with.
George Soros can't get MoveOn members to show up at healthcare rallies (there was a big push last week to support healtcare... most rallies had less than 10 people show up for their side).
Why does he expect them to give money?
You know for a fact that Axelrod jumped on the phone last night as soon as the op/ed appeared.
I would think that being attacked by moveon.org would be a badge of honor for most people.
I can't wait to see an op/ed from Gov. Palin on the nationalization of health care.
If the cap and trade op/ed brings out the foaming at the mouth crew, they might very well choke on all that foam if she would come out real soon, like tomorrow, with the health care op/ed.
I enjoy seeing the heads explode.
It's funny that these groups will expend so much time, energy, and money to create a defense against a rambling nobody with no future in politics....
I think they're finally getting a glimpse of her power and they want to shut her down now while she is still limited in her ability to fight back. They'd better hurry. Only 12 days left!
What was that? "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you..."?
What comes next? :)
BREAKING NEWS:
Andree Mcleod just filed another ethics complaint!!
http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=10725630
Bring it. Sarah Palin knows full well that this is going to be a fight for America. She can control her own strong conservative message now. She's moving forward and millions have her back.
Where will Hurricane Sarah show up next? Hhhmmm?
She is already firmly implanted in the left's noggins.
Which Star Trek movie was it? The Wrath of Kahn or something, where they put that bug into that guy's ear, and it wormed its way into the dude's brain. That is exactly what Governor Palin has done. August 29, 2008, what a day that was! History changed on that day, and not in the way I thought it would. Her influence is going to be much bigger than just John McCain's vp pick, or the first female vice president. This is gonna be great!

Considering that they attacked Gen. Petraeus, Palin's in good company.
http://newsminer.com/news/2009/jul/14/18th-ethics-complaint-filed-against-palin/
In case you haven't heard... Andree McLeod is back at it again.
WOW...I Love it. To think they need to do a paid ad for an op-ed piece, according to trolls and bloggers,
she didn't even write. That takes great skill to get this kind of response from MoveOn!!!!
Oh, dear. just one op-ed which is not even scathing sends them so off-kilter; they do show their that Gov.Palin is their biggest fear right now.
BTW, all Mittbots would have it that their guy wrote, "many many op-eds and gave many, many speeches," but has the opposition even noticed him?
The sun came up, an anklebiter files an ethics complaint, yep, the world is still upside down.
This definitely explains the new trolls, Redhead and John, to name two, who have been infesting C4P since Governor Palin's op-ed came out.
What is their ad going to say?
Governor Plain?
I thought Sarah had no political future, that she was "stupid" "irrelevant" for someone who has no political future they sure spend a lot of time targeting a Governor of a state don't they. And considering that these are liberals, don't expect them to make too much money, you know how it works, liberals only spend OTHER people's money, and considering that Obama's stimulus checks have not arrived, don't expect any money to be given. Sarah is a GENIUS, if Cap and Crap fails, Sarah will be blamed for it, but most Americans are against it, so she will be applauded for standing up against it. Sarah WINS, Left loses and craps their pants again.
Sarah Palin, making liberals poo their pants since August 28th 2008
Nancy,
That Star Trek scene still makes me cringe just thinking about it, but it certainly makes the point:)
Another ethics complaint? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
Ha , she's chance less , move on took down General Petraeus... oh wait.
Governor Plainspoken?
Oh, but she didn't write it!
Governor Plagiarism?
Is there any way we can create Youtube ads targeting all of these slimeballs? Expose the people behind Moveon.org, DailyKos, Huffington ... expose their agenda and tactics and start attacking back with our own ads posted on youtube.
Hmmm, KTUU says:
Another ethics complaint has been filed against Gov. Sarah Palin, alleging she abused her office by accepting a salary and used state staff while campaigning as the Republican vice presidential candidate last year.
Abused her office by accepting a salary!? Surely that's a typo. I wasn't aware the governorship in Alaska is a volunteer job. Did Palin get the job by being the fifth caller into Eddie Burke's radio show?
@manajordan
doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results... that's the definition of insanity and fits McLeod, Moore etc perfectly.
What are they gonna do after the 26th? If Obama doesn't have a spot for them in his administration, they might have to grow up!
Georgie Boy is scared~~ Move on Soros!
I just donated to Sarahpac again :)
manajordan,
Me too! I think I've only seen that scene looking through my fingers!:)
I think they are saying she got a salary as governor and another as presidential candidate. However, I'm pretty sure the McCain campaign did not pay Sarah to be a VP candidate. She's entitled to her Gov salary for the duration of her term, regardless of where she is or what she happens to be doing.
If Gov. Sarah Palin writes an op-ed on Nationalized Health Care, it would be great if she suggested that EVERYONE MUST take a look at Steve Crowder's (He ususally posts on Big Hollywood) his UNDERCOVER 20 minute film on nationalized health care in Canada. Steve Crowder has dual citizenship and it is scathing what he and his friends go through!!
And it has begun.
The battle for freedom begins.
Hmm...if Andree McLeod is filing an ethics complaint for that, I think I may file an ethics complaint against President Obama for collecting a salary as my senator while running for president for 2+ years of the 4 years he served.
Come on gang. You can't be too hard of C. Diva, she got her orders that Sarah has raised too much money and her op-ed was too good. So, Diva had to go back and check the ethics complaints and find one that she could alter just a little bit and recycle it.
This will probably help Sarah to raise more money. I hope they send out an e-mail to contribute to the TRUST FUND.
While we all find this amusing, we will also need to stay on our toes. The Move On crew and their cronies have a web that is vast and deeply rooted across this country.
In my own battleground state, outside $$ and targeted efforts have greatly effected our local political scene.
Be ever vigilant, fellow C4Pers!
From the fundraising plea:
Palin is "Attacking Obama's clean energy jobs plan and keeping us hooked on Big Oil and Coal."
Isn't this just liberal mad libs? clean-energy-jobs-plan-big oil-palin-coal-idiot-energy-alaska-wolves-russia from my house-jobs...
As they say, pathetic.
What a ride this is going to be!
That's right, Sarah, keep 'em off balance!
If they think they can back her off with this kind of campaign, they are sadly mistaken. Everything I've seen from her just shows me she loves a good fight,and she fights in a way that throws them totally off kilter!
Wouldn't you just love to be fly on the wall @ moveon?
This ad will benefit Governor Palin in three ways. First, Republicans and the vast majority of Independents see MoveOn.org for what they are, a lunatic fringe leftist group. This will cause all voters but the far left fringe to rally behind her. Second, most Americans actually agree with her that cap and trade is an economy killing power grab by Obama and they will see that Governor Palin is on their side, not the side of dramatically higher energy prices. Third, the very fact that Obama's surrogates are attacking her will cement in many Republican's minds that she is the leader of the party. It's not like MoveOn.org or their ilk care what Romney does.
M. Minnesota,
Thanks for bringing that up!
That Crowder clip is a must see, and what it shows for the future of health care in our country is scary! Could you believe what happened to that woman's poor mother?
alwaysfiredup:
Right, she wouldn't have gotten paid for being a candidate. Is McCleod seriously claiming Palin had to forfeit her salary during the campaign? This woman has serious mental health issues.
Don't forget my 'boxing the compass' scenario that Move.on org will try to use on Sarah.
techno, we cant forget what's your "boxing the compass scenario" is if we don't know it in the first place!
I don't think the complaint is so much about the Gov.'s salary as it is about the state staff she had with her and their paid salaries.
It is just another way for Sarah to prove her reason for resigning. This helps her...doesn't hurt her at all. She will be long gone before this even gets to the committee. And, it is just like the other complaint that she won regarding taking staff to Indiana.

How is moveon.org gonna spin it when Obama tries to swoop in and take over Palin's natural gas line?
What a bunch of dorks moveon.org is, they will release an Ad saying how Sarah is against Cap and Trade, most Americans are against it, those who have not read her piece in the Washington Post will end up reading it, agreeing with her, and supporting her. Good God liberals are so stupid, were they born that way or did they become more stupid as time moved on
Here's an article from New Hampshire (I'll post the whole thing because you need to log-in):
http://www.nhpoliticalreport.com/home/16-2012-presidential-elections/323-palin-would-find-skeptical-nh-audience-
MANCHESTER -- Sarah Palin's surprise decision to resign as Alaska governor found New Hampshire Republicans bristling against the suggestion she is done in national politics, but privately many are losing confidence in her according to random survey of New Hampshire Republicans who will shape the presidential race early-on.
Republican National Committeewoman Phyllis Woods is "perplexed" about Palin's decision. Republican operative Greg Moore said the move left activists he talks with "confused". Former Republican Congressional nominee Jennifer Horn said Palin quit before the job was done. Former state Republican Chair Fergus Cullen was her fan until this latest episode and he no longer gives her the benefit of the doubt.
"How can she possibly make the case that can be entrusted with the presidency when she quits in the middle of her first term as governor without giving any compelling reason explaining the decision?" Cullen asked.
Only a few, like former State Senator Bob Clegg, still talk her up even though he is backing a different candidate.
"I think she will do well as a true candidate of change. I will, however, look for her to team with Mike Huckabee," he said.
It has now been 11 days since Palin announced she will step down as Alaska Governor at the end of the month. Since then prominent conservatives are scratching their heads. Even Rush Limbaugh is publicly wondering if she will leave the Republican Party altogether.
If she does visit the early primary state Cullen expects that she would still draw a big crowd out of the "curiosity factor", but mean they are all supporters.
"I think many Republicans fundamentally root for her - we want to see her do well politically. But it's what happens next that gives me doubts," he said. "Instead of looking for reasons to like her and remain interested, voters sizing her up will instead be looking for an explanation for why she quit that doesn't disqualify her from serving as president. And if she's not able to give voters that good explanation quick, I think she'll have a hard time converting fans who root for her into sustained support.
"Red Sox fans would give up on a rookie who tore up the league at Pawtucket but who was only batting .210 at the All Star break."
There are advantages and challenges to the position Palin finds herself in the Granite State. She has tremendous celebrity. Her first trip to the state will look less like the initial gathering of 20 or so activists at a house party like most candidates than it would the 1,500 person rally Barack Obama saw in his first trip back in December 2006. Yet, Palin is a rookie. She has only visited the state once in a whirlwind general election trip. Team Palin hasn't cultivated any relationships in the state to help her pull off such an event like Obama. Even if she got the state party to put on an event it is unclear whether she would spend her time here flawlessly.
If she decides to start calling activists or visit Horn believes she will have to explain her decision to resign before saying anything else.
"New Hampshire voters are very discerning and difficult to win over," Horn said. "Like any other presidential candidate, if Palin decides to run for President she will need to make a personal connection with the people of New Hampshire, but will have the added challenge of explaining away why she quit in Alaska before the job was done."
To be sure, Palin for President wouldn't be a non-starter.
"I'm concerned and as far as I'm hearing, this move does not disqualify her from running," Woods said. "We're used to, in New Hampshire, giving everyone a fair shot and a fair hearing."
With respect, id like to ask the great people that run this site to ban the trolls if they get out of line. The radical left will send trolls here nonstop to try and disrupt this site.
I hate to tell you guys this, but he's been going after her for a long time now.
Just donated another $5,000 to SarahPAC. :)
GOOOOOOOO SARAH!!!!!!!
abstract question:
"Why is abbreviated such a long word?"
TommyReport:
The majority of conservatives are also traditionally conservative and operate in the world of orthodoxy.
I knew there would be fallout now but to be honest it doesn't appear to be as bad as it could have been.
Many of these folks who are dubious now regarding a Palin candidacy will come around over the next 30 months, especially after 2010 midterms.
This new complaint is just a rehash of one that has already been dismissed...Gov. Palin's point proved "my office cannot work for the people of Alaska because they spend most of their time working on the E/complaints" 3 in 11 day...
I'm really looking forward to meeting up with moveon.org freaks.
Let's roll.
have you seen the comments on the CNN site? Absolutely hateful. CNN used to be a respectable news organization and I would say most of it still is. But if they continue down the path they are presently on they will go the way of MSNBC. Cases in point Rick Sanchez (who used to work for MSNBC incidentally) and grumpy old man Jack Cafferty.
Nancy,you crack me up! We're going to need your sense of humor over the next few months!
Good grief!!
This is great news. If they think there was a flood of donations after the guv announced her resignation just wait till all the commone idiots in flyover country know that MoveOn.org is after her.
The guv will be a hero of the right conservative movement even more than she is now.
LOL
chspats2006, they're already there:
"FNC Wins With Sotomayor Hearing; ...
From 10am-3pmET Monday, when the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation hearings were ongoing, Fox News was the most-watched network for coverage. FNC even beat CNN and MSNBC combined, in younger viewers during that time period.
10-3pmET A25-54 / Total Viewers
FNC 153K / 788K
CNN 104K / 576K
MSNBC 47K / 366K"
and
"Q2 Cable Ratings: CNN Finishes Third in Prime Time
CNN will finish the second quarter in third place in prime time (Mon-Fri) in both Total Viewers and A25-54 demo viewers. Fox News was far in front followed by MSNBC."
CNN has been a pile of you know what for years now. I stopped watching that channel a couple of years ago.
Nothing but libs there.
true, true but when Wolf Blitzer interviewed her he at least showed her some respect...he was tough but fair and on the last interview with her he wished her good luck and he seemed to mean it. Maybe its because he used to work for AIPAC and he knows that she is a big supporter of Israel...just sayin
Libs want to have it both ways..."she is inneffective so laugh at her" AND "she is effective so destroy her." Her article pleases me to no end.
Someone should take that old Apple "1984" ad and photoshop Obama as Big Brother and Sarah as the woman hurling the hammer.
For you young'ins, this is the ad I'm talking about.
And it has begun.
The battle for freedom begins.
"This is Sarah Palin. If you can hear my voice, YOU are the resistance."
Well, even Moveon.org is afraid of Sarah Palin. Ladies & Gentlemen, we have arrived!
Long face weighs in:
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/07/14/kerry-palin-should-check-out-the-view-from-her-front-porch/
"Well now it's time for to sound your voice
And capture what your after
My ship was sold right up the river
But I'm not going down here
This journey isn't over"
^^ This is from the song Fitzcarraldo by The Frames. Check it out here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkf7MznDRBg
To me this song is all about perseverance and reminds me a lot of how disenfranchised and betrayed Americans have been. I thought it was fitting to post it here because Palin is going to need help from all of us to pull the ship over the mountain.
If they do the commercial, let's respond with some web ads of our own and try to make them good enough so they get a guest air on O'Reilly or something again.
Let the games begin. Bring it on, MoveOn! You're no longer the only game in town.
George Soros is corrupt. I believe even the Russians hate him. How he got a stranglehold on the Democrats is beyond me. We need to have an organization that can mirror Moveon and fight them. They got us in the last election... they can't do it again.
None of us is going to be able to sit on our couch and expect to just donate money. We all have to do more when called. I know the C4P crew is engaged and smart but we're going to have to get others involved as well. I'm not into histrionics but I do sincerely believe that we are in the fight of our lives for this country. Sarah has been taking some hard hits yet seems committed to the battle. We can do no less. We have to support her with our time, treasure and prayers.
Is it possible for us to raise some money to fund a C4P member who lives in Alaska to bring some sort of countersuit against these scuzballs?
ELEVEN WORDS:
We have no idea the fury that is about to hit.
THREE WORDS:
Soros is threatened.
SEVEN WORDS:
Obama knows who the real threat is.
THREE WORDS:
It ain't Mittens!
THREE WORDS:
Game on Rahm.
FOUR WORDS:
Come get your Thumpin'!!
TWO WORDS:
Obama Crumbling.
Folks,
We seriously need to be praying for this country and for "roadblocks" to be built in the way of BHO and his plans to destory....sorry..."remake" America.
Every day brings another eye-popping proposal / charge / etc. from the Obama Camp.
Today?
The proposal today to let people stay in their homes and pay RENT not make the mortgage payment any longer. Guess who that would make the OWNER of the home? Federal Gov't maybe?
HEALTHCARE takeover must be stopped.
1-20-13, everyday until then is going to be a fight. Lord help us!!
Just checking to see if this working
I love the sound of a liberals head exploding.
I'm heading to WalMart in the morning to get more rootbeer and popcorn.
This is going to get very interesting.
The O'Reilly Factor: Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck talked about the Cap and Trade con. Fox news is investigating. Great timing on Governor Palin's 'Cap And Tax' Dead End piece.
What can I say. Moveon inspired me to donate more to SarahPac. And it feels pretty good!
What is up with that Nora lady and Morning Joe show and others talking nice on Gov. Palin?
Is it SarahPAC?
I think they know Obama is a big flop and Gov. Palin = money and ratings.
Maybe Glenn's been talking to Sarah. Seems a little more than coincidence that they're taking this on, now. The timing is awfully close, don't you think?
Note from Obama to his chief of staff.
Yo Rahm....
WTF is going on!!! I'm gone for a few days on my Euro vacation and all hell breaks loose. Before I can say "jumpin Jack flash," that Alaskan bee-och from Wasilla, and her possie, are getting all 'uppidy'.
WaPo editorial??? Over 700k raised in her pack without breaking a sweat??? The friggen masses giving her a second look???
WTF AM I PAYING YOU FOR !!!!
Get to work you moron, and while you're at it, quit walking on my set and fetch me another teleprompter!!!!
Obama gets booed at the all star game (and throws a wimpy first pitch)
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/07/obama-booed-in-st-louis.html
Huskers-For-Palin,
I loved that note from the President!
Maybe we should all donate to moveon.org so they can make their stupid ad. The more people who see it the better. People are overhwelmingly against cap and trade, and when they see that Palin is too, that will be a plus for her.
Getting late on the east coast. The muses need some rest.
Hmmm...
Sarah to the ankle-biters, Moveon.orgies and other assorted lowlifes:
"Good luck movin' on, 'cause I'm...
movin' out!"
(paraphrasing Billy Joel)
Background: '74 'Cuda with a 360 V8, Holley double-pumper, Edelbrock manifold, Hooker headers, all the goodies...rowing through the gears and getting rubber in each one....
Can't wait for the next op-ed, Sarah. God bless you, we love you.
"You're simply the best....Better than all the rest."
:^)
Good night all.
Stop Olympia Snowe before it's too late!!!!
Ask yourselves why the White House is doing this. Remember, MoveOn doesn't move on unless the White House wants it to move on.
Right now, they probably have polling that tells them that if they raise Palin's profile, it is bad for Republicans. However, that is steady state polling based on the artificial construct Palin that they created.
This article was a substantive critique of the Obama Administration's plan to increase taxes on America's energy producers. Now, the Democrats want to attack Palin, raise her profile, and make her the "face" of the Republican Party, just as they did with Limbaugh!
Remember?
Palin wants this. This allows her to use the Democrats overreaction to make sober, content-filled speeches and articles while Democrats are focusing the attention of the media and the public on Palin.
Democrats are presenting Palin with a golden opportunity to enhance her "second rollout" on her terms. They will try to "redefine" her. I suspect that she will define herself by defining Obama.
The best defense is, after all, a good offense.
why is Gov Palin against the energy policy she was for during last year's campaign? I watched the debate with Say It Ain't So Joe again:
GWEN IFILL: But I just wanted to ask you, do you support capping carbon emissions?
PALIN: I do. I do.
Sen McCain also supported climate change legislation during the campaign.
"why is Gov Palin against the energy policy she was for during last year's campaign?"
Because the campaign is over and she no longer has to advocate John Mccain's positions?
Palin: Meet Me in the Arena of Ideas
Re: MoveOn tactics
I'm seeing a concerted effort to go after her in my comments section and wouldn't be surpised if they were MoveOn people or some other liberal activist group. C4P does a great job moderating comments and I'm not going to be critical of those who have different policies than I do. You do what you want. It makes me no never mind, but all bloggers for Palin out there, watch out and be prepared for trolls. A few days ago I adopted a zero tolerance policy on ALL negativity. It's my blog and I'll delete if I want to!
