Read her whole post for details but the short summary is people are pushing the "she gave birth to her own grandson" meme hard and included in the attacks are blown up pictures of Palin's 16 year old daughter.
Some of these attacks come from a Kos diary. For those that don't know, Kos is not a nameless web site. It attacks millions of readers and has people like Olbermann as guest columnists.
Seriously. Palin has enough holes in her career for there to be several choices of attack if you want to go that route. Pick one of those. I can only hope these attacks backfire and thousands of votes switch to Palin because of them.
I can only read that the race is now tied from more sources and smile.
Update: Ann is continuing to post on this topic. Apparently some other posters at Kos are realizing what the reaction to their "attack the baby" story will be. So they are asking readers if they should pull the story. Althouse notes:
Nice to see that their main concern is preserving their own credibility so they can carry out other, more effective, attacks. Because the whole point of appearing to be decent and feminist is to be able to push your political agenda.Also, in the comment, I couldn't help but laugh:
There's even a poll about whether this attempt to back slowly out of the sewer is helping -- and the vote is split 72-27."If actions like this become more prevalent then Obama's worst handicap in the election could be the immature nature of some of his supporters.
Actually the poll question is: "Is this helping or should I delete this?"
Making a single "yes" or "no" response meaningless.
Their logical prowess remains intact!
