Is there proof the Obama campaign is behind Palin smears?

It seems there is. From Nealz Nuze:

OBAMA CAMPAIGN LINKED TO PALIN SMEARS

Wow. A blog by the name of Jawa Report has done some extensive research and come to a very startling revelation .... Barack Obama's campaign may be responsible for some of the viciously untrue smear videos about Sarah Palin. For details, you need to visit the Jawa Report, but here is a brief synopsis of their findings.

For weeks, we have seen these videos spreading rumors about Sarah Palin – things like Palin was a member of an Anti-American separatist organization. Now, Barack Obama's chief media strategist, David Axelrod, is notorious for stuff like this. He is the master of what they call "astroturfing," which means that he plants campaign messages on the internet and makes them appear as if they were the creation of these left-wing, Daily Kos, MoveOn type websites. In reality they are a front. They may be spread by these types of websites, but in the end, they are the product of the Obama campaign.

The videos have been connected to a professional Public Relations firm called Winner & Associates. Company employees and family members of this Winner and Associates have been connected with the placement of these videos on Youtube, on company time. These employees and family members sent notices to Democrat Underground and Daily Kos, trying to get these videos to be seen and spread.

Other evidence on the site includes the fact that the voice-over artist in the videos has worked extensively with David Axelrod's firm, which has a history of engaging in these types of phony grassroots efforts ... oh and the voice-over artist has actually worked directly with the Barack Obama campaign.

Within one hour of Jawa Report posting the information, the Winner and Associates employees had removed all the videos from Youtube and began to remove any traces of his activities. In time? Apparently not. Convenient.

There's a lot more, folks. It's just some information to keep in mind.

I'm not surprised. Isn't this what they call "Chicago style politics"? Where is the MSM on this? Why is it always bloggers that have to dig up Obama dirt?

The Democrats used the A-Bomb too soon

The Left over reacts. From Peggy Noonan for the WSJ:

Miles to Go

[...] After the past 10 days, it is not remarkable that Mr. McCain has caught up with Mr. Obama. It is amazing that Mr. Obama is still roughly even with Mr. McCain.

There is no denying that Mr. Obama is in a bad place, that he must now be considered the underdog, that he's wearing Loser-Glo. The slide started with the Rick Warren interviews in August, just as America was starting to pay attention. Verdict? McCain: normal. Obama: odd.

Then Mrs. Palin, and the catastrophe of the Democratic and media response to her. Books will be written about this, but because it's so recent, and so known, we're almost not absorbing how huge it was, and is. Here was the central liberal mistake: They used the atom bomb just a few days in. They used it so brutally, and yet so ineptly, in a way so oblivious to the true contours of the field, that the radiation blew back over their own lines. They used it without preliminary diplomatic talks, multilateral meetings or Security Council debate. They just went boom. And it boomeranged.

The atom bomb was personal and sexual perfidy, backwoods knuckle-draggin' ma and pa saying, Tell the neighbors the baby's ours. Then the ritual abuse of the 17-year-old girl. Then the rest of it—bad mother, religious weirdo. (On this latter it must be noted that Mrs. Palin never told a church that the Iraq war was God's will; she asked them to pray that it was God's will. It wasn't the sound of Republican hubris, it was the sound of Christian humility: We can't know the mind of God, we can only pray we are in accord with it.)

All of this was unacceptable to normal Americans. They experienced it as the town gossip spreading rumor and slander before the new neighbor even got to put down her bags. It offended the American sense of fairness. And—it still lives!—gallantry.

Most crucially, the snobbery of it, the meanness of it, reminded the entire country, for the first time in a decade, what it is they don't like about the left. Really, America had forgotten. Mr. Obama's friends reminded them. Unforgettably. [...]

(bold emphasis mine) Noonan maintains that Palin was not bullet proof when she walked into this, but thanks to the Democrats own ineptness, they have practically made her immune to criticism by themselves. They have lost their credibility on the issue of Sarah Palin, at least for now.

The Republicans could still screw up, and the Democrats, well... read the whole thing. The race isn't over yet.
     

MSM does their best to Kill the Messenger

They can't effectively talk about the message, so they attack the messenger. The smears and lies continue. It seems they just can't help themselves:

ABC News blows it

Washington Post blows it

Whoopi to McCain: Do you want me to be a slave again? (Video added)

I though Gibson would at least try to be fair... what WAS I thinking? Instead he not only quotes Palin out of context, but uses fragments of quotes as well, to twist their meaning. What a disingenuous weasel he turned out to be. Not to mention, a condescending prick.

As for Whoopi, she's like Rosie; they're both hilarious as comedians, as long as you don't have to take them seriously. Like so many Hollywood people, in matters requiring critical thinking, they tend to be more emotional than rational.
