Democrats Target Sarah Palin-Michele Bachmann Rally

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, two of the conservative movement's stars, are expected to draw thousands of supporters today when they appear together to kick off Bachmann's re-election campaign. Democrats, meanwhile, are attempting to rally their own supporters by taking aim at the controversial figures.

The Democratic National Committee released a Web video today (shown at left) with snippets of controversial quotes from Palin and Bachmann, calling them "the extreme faces of the new GOP."

"From these two we have heard nothing but fear and lies - from death panels to warning of a coming apocalypse - and today's rally shouldn't be any different," DNC national press secretary Hari Sevugan said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has created an online "Bachmann or Palin" quiz, which quizzes players on which Republican made a certain incendiary remark, such as the claim that health care reform would lead to "death panels." The DCCC requires users to enter their e-mail address before playing, and users are encouraged to share the quiz via social networking sites.

The DCCC has also launched the site PalinPrimaries.com, which claims to "track the most divisive and messy House Republican primaries in the country," in order to "help" Palin in her involvement in this November's midterm elections. The site teases Palin for taking notes on her hand earlier this year by displaying congressional districts with Republican primaries on the palm of a hand.

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison sent out his own fundraising e-mail targeting Palin and Bachmann, Talking Points Memo reports, because today's Minneapolis rally is, in fact, in his district, not Bachmann's.

"I need your help to send a strong message to Bachmann and Palin that their scare tactics are not welcome in my District," Ellison wrote in the e-mail. "Can you help me reach 100 donors by making a contribution of $5 or more?"

Bachmann likely needed a large venue like the Minneapolis Convention Center to host the crowd expected to attend today. The Minnesota GOP gave away more than 10,000 tickets for the event, WCCO reports.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a potential 2012 GOP presidential hopeful, will attend the event, as will conservative Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity. The 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time event will be live streamed here.

Liberals are just pissed because both of these woman are not only intelligent, but also very attractive. Not to mention most Liberals/Dems are lesbians, fat and have no jobs...and if they do work, they don't enjoy what they do. The only thing that gives them enjoyment is being hateful to those who don't think the same way they do. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
=====================================================================
Intelligent ???
Where do live ?
Alabama ? Mississippi ???
Oh ... and BTW ... NO ONE ASKED YOU.

[hateisafourletterword]

So you would rather look at Hillary and Nancy OR Sarah and Michelle?

Unless you are deaf, dumb and blind, you are lying to yourself if you pick the first two.

Yeah, yeah, the "truth" as pistingaway defines it, whatever that may be, and as only he is uniquely qualified to "know". In the meantime, as I recall there were all kinds of outraged posts by outraged liberals over the very same analogy - "taking aim" at "targets" - but of course its perfectly acceptable to "take aim" at Palin. Check.

Our Second Great Depression, Courtesy of the GOP! Sarah and what's her name want us to forget all about that and their GOP Kin and return them to Power like nothing ever happened on their watch! I don't think America can afford another go around with their Armed Madhouse. Loosing More homes and Dreams that took a Lifetime to try and get only comes around once in a lifetime for us mere Mortals.
Show Me The Money Sarah Can stick it where the Sun doesn't Shine!

[JFK2112]

Now this is truly comical. You may want to do some research before spouting this non-sense. There was definately plenty of blame to go around...buying a home making $10 per hour should have been a dream not reality, thanks to who?

[earlysaid]

These two women are both loudmouth liars. They spout the most crazy and outrageous garbage. Both as these gals are no different for Rush Limbaugh slinging the slop. They know how to rile up their base with hate and stupidity. Of course republicans who watch Fox constantly will think Palin and Bachmann walk on water. They have been dumbed down by the constant hate and lies blasted from Fox.

Remeber those bumper stickes which read, "Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History"? Thank God Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmman refuse to sit down, shut up, and behave like good little girls obedient to their "betters".

[pasmalltown]

Yeah, but could it be they just like spanked? Some bad girls do.......

[hateisafourletterword]

Yes they do.

Now would you rather be spanking Michelle or Sarah OR do you prefer Hillary and Nancy?

[Former_Liberal]

..HOW CONVENIENT THAT THE DEMS CAN USE THE PHRASE "RACIST" TO VIRTUALLY APPLY TO ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM!

[victorwelch]

Remember those bumper sticks which read, "Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History." Thank God Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmman refuse to sit down, shut up, and behave -- apparently to the chagrin of millions.

[Former_Liberal]

The "Smear Campaign" tactics were invented by the USA-hating Liberal Democrats. They employed these tactics to get a little-known junior senator from Illinois into the Oval office and a stupid not-funny has-been comedian to the Minnesota Senate.

Thank god for Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin - God bless both of you and we'll be rooting for you until November.

Memo to Dems - PAYBACK IS A *****!
