Dems Using Sarah Palin’s Recent ‘$800,000 Haul’ As Scare Tactic To Raise Money

As much as the Dems like to scoff (one might even say ‘refudiate’) at the idea of Sarah Palin as a serious political force that must be reckoned with, they apparently take her seriously enough to use her as way to motivate Dems to donate. This email from James Carville landed in my inbox this morning, subject line: ‘Palin’s $800,000 Haul: Stop Sarah Palin’s Money Machine.’

You hear what the Republicans are saying now?

They’re out there bragging that they’ll actually win back the House this year. But if the thought of John Boehner holding the gavel doesn’t run a cold chill up your spine, how about this: Sarah Palin raised over $800,000 last quarter for tea party candidates so vile, they make her look like the model of moderation.

This Sunday marks 100-days until Election Day, signaling the real kick-off of the 2010 campaign season.

With the Republicans’ chest-pounding over their chances to win the House, the media is watching our 100-day out fundraising more than ever. To beat the GOP, House Democrats need to raise $548,971 by Sunday at Midnight.

Considering that according to a new Gallup poll the Dems have just this week jumped to a 6-percentage-point generic-ballot edge one might conclude this email is merely evidence the party has concluded what websites have known for sometime now: Sarah Palin generates clicks.

The real question is how much Glynnis is sending to the dumbocrats?

“You hear what the Republicans are saying now? They’re out there bragging that they’ll actually win back the House this year.”

When did Robert Gibbs switch parties?

Maybe the real question is how much are the democrats paying Glynnis to attack Palin.

It’s not obligatory for the Mediaite staff to give money to Democrats because they subscribe to the Jounolist creed:

“They also serve who revile and smear conservatives and all their works in the service of the Democratic Party.”

Got to love Carvilles hypocrascy – “Stop Palins Money Machine – By Giving Me Money!”

Too bad that part of the brain is not found in the Progressive illness.

I have to say, I hope some of this money filters through to the Republican candidates. Most money around the Drop Out Governor seems to end up in her own purse. All the Marys in Heaven know the money might help with all the voters she drives away.

When you look up the word “stupid” in the dictionary, there is a photo of RRK.

Masters of scare tactics are the Democrats.

gordonblownscam: the truant officer caught your producer and took him back to pre-school.

Since your “show” apparently consists of personal attacks, you will continue to broadcast to the mentally infirm; i.e., yourself.

pyface: “Masters of scare tactics are the Democrats.”

Ridiculous. Repubs practically have a PATENT on scare tactics. It repeatedly works on YOU “Scary Marys.”

When will you develop enough backbone to stand up and see that you’re being had?

The REAL question is: if $arah is elected president, and decides she doesn’t like the job, will she quit halfway through . . . again?

The Democrats hate it when anyone makes some serious money. But when it is Sarah Palin, they go absolutely bonkers. They may find some way to go after her, but meanwhile they’re too busy counting all their campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs.
