Obama: "Sarah Smeared ME! Uh, I mean YOU!"

Delicious irony. After Obama surrogates gnashed and trashed Gov. Palin relentlessly for days -- and after Obama himself acted as though Gov. Palin was no more than Mayor Palin of "Wasily" -- Barack Obama sent this special love letter to my inbox:

"[benergy] --

Why would the Republicans spend a whole night of their convention attacking ordinary people?

With the nation watching, the Republicans mocked, dismissed, and actually laughed out loud at Americans who engage in community service and organizing."

Emphasis mine.

You cast the first stone, Obama. Governor Palin struck back -- and not at the American people. But at you.

You may have had a coronation in Denver, but you are not all of America.

Women's Work.

Oh, David Axelrod. You're so adorable that it hurts!

"Palin may add some gender diversity to their ticket, but she doesn’t add any philosophical diversity. Hillary is a huge asset for us, and we want her out there, though we would have wanted her out there regardless of Palin."

Trust. David Axelrod believes in Harvey Dent. Two-Face much?

At any rate. It's fun to watch how the Obama campaign is now so terrified of Sarah Palin's "insulting" emergence as a female contender.

You're "insulted," Obama-Left? Should have picked Clinton as your running mate.

So stop smearing Sarah Palin as some sort of CRAZY WRONG WOMAN!

She isn't. And she's not. It's not McCain's/Palin's fault you're having buyer's remorse. I mean, after all, Joe Biden is so experienced.

But kudos on the same O-Fanatics and smear-extraordinaires like David Axelrod -- mastermind behind "Geraldine Ferraro is RACIST!" -- to now say that Hillary Clinton has to carry their weight, and not post-partisan "new kind of politics!" everyman Barack Obama.

Why don't you have Claire McCaskill go shill on Barack's behalf toward the women? Oh. That's right. She has no credibility left.

What is so terrifying about Sarah Palin? That she's a strong, capable woman of a different party? And now that evil Hillary is the only person who can stop her? And I'll believe Hillary's "bitter" when I hear it from her own mouth.

Now who's engaging in those crass "pandering" politics?

Oh, women's work.

"She's Good Looking!" x2.

Thanks, HotAir!

Not only does Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden ham it up dismissing Sarah Palin as "good looking," but Barack Obama did the same about one of his own Party Members.

I hate to bring beauty queen, former aspiring actress MI-Gov Jennifer Granholm into the mix again, because I think she's great, but it begs repeating considering the Obama surrogates want to trash Palin over this. After all, I support Granholm. She's a great politician, does well for Michigan, and was a Clinton supporter. But this video of Obama is damning.

Here is Barack Obama with Jennifer Granholm and Debbie Stabenow, stumping for their '06 re-election campaigns. And what did Obama have to say about Jennifer Granholm?

Obama: "And then you got this Governor [Granholm]. Some people think I'm biased because she went to Harvard Law School like me. But that's not the reason I'm here. Some people think -- and I gotta be careful cuz her husband's here -- but that I'm here just because she's one of the finer lookin' politicians. But everybody knows it, I mean! [To First Gentleman Dan Mulhern] There's no point in denying it! There's a reason why you married her! You're no dummy! But that's not why I'm here!"

Random Crowd Member: "You Sure?"

Laugher interspliced. Classy all around. For sure.

Watch it here, and skip to 6:40 for the goods.

Democrats: stop attacking Sarah Palin on this line. Stop berating her based on her looks, on her former career, and based on her personal life. It's a non-starter, and counter productive.

Respect Sarah Palin as a politician and person and disagree with her on policy. I can't say it enough.

But it you want to watch the whole Obama-Granholm-Stabenow video, I'm sure you'll be thrilled at how much he talks about himself rather than the candidates he's supposedly assisting.

Because with Obama, it's all about "ME!" Even in 2006.

With Palin, it's all about assassinating her character. Based on one speech.

Claire McCaskill gives her sista souljah.

Oh, Claire!

Claire McCaskill despises Sarah Palin and is more than happy to do backflips. Mom extraordinare! and Obama shill (her children made her see the Obama light!) McCaskill just can't stand another woman in politics stealing her mojo. Click that link. She was more than happy to say that experience didn't matter when she was shilling Obama-mania. It was about "inspiration."

"If [Obama] were here for another 5,000 votes -- casting another 5,000 votes in the Senate, I don't think prepares you any more to be President of the United States. He understands how this place works; frankly how it doesn't work. He gets it. He understands that we have got to do it differently. [...] Let's quit demonizing each other."

Oh, but the lovely double-standard comes out full-bore for Sarah Palin.

Q: The arguement you made about Sarah Palin being the Mayor of a town the size of Milverly [sp] is essentially an arguement that the Republicans have been making about Obama: that he was 4 years ago a State Senator. Again, isn't that the same argument that they were making against who would be Commander in Chief as opposed to the Vice President? How do you reconcile that?

McCaskill: I think you can look at the entirety of Barack Obama's record, and look at the entirety of Sarah Palin's record. [...] I guess the point I'm trying to make, Jason, is John McCain doesn't mean it when he says Barack Obama isn't qualified to be President -- because Sarah Palin is. [...] Because if he really believes Barack Obama doesn't have enough Foreign Policy experience to be President after 4 years on the Foreign Relations committee of the United States Senate, then how in the world can he justify the pick of Sarah Palin? That's the point I'm making.

Emphasis mine.

Ah, the "experience" arguement. Never mind that McCaskill obviously doesn't know that Obama has not yet served four years on the committee, has been running for President for about 2 of those years, and has little-to-no record on said committee -- well. Hmm. Ponder.

But I thought experience wasn't necessary! Nevermind her stumping that Biden is basically going to train Obama. HA!

And Sarah Palin is under-experienced? She didn't have her Liutenant Governor Sean Parnell coaching her through the top job.

McCaskill, like the Netroots on this "experience meme," is a joke.

It's a Democrat death trap. Again: attack Palin on her policies; not on her resume or character.
