Palin Stars In McCain Robocall After Calling Them Irritating

Talking Points Memo:

Sarah Palin may have condemned robocalls yesterday as intrusive and a drain on people's attention spans, but that didn't stop her from recording her own robocall on behalf of the McCain campaign.

Two readers report to us that they received robocalls starring Palin herself -- one in Wisconsin, and the other in Nevada.

Palin's robocall touted both her and McCain as "mavericks" who have a feel for people's economic suffering, vowed that they would reform Wall Street and Washington, and hit Barack Obama and Joe Biden for not "listening" to the American people.

Because of the inconsistencies between McCain and Palin at times, one might think maybe they don't know themselves what's going on around them. They might be programmed to respond on certain ways on certain days or something. Something must be wrong with them and their erratic statements. Maybe a litte mind control going on here?

[justin12]

Hypocrite. Palin is truly shameless.

[angiemomma]

I agree...can't wait until she's defeated and a distant, albeit sickening, memory.

[Squigibo]

She must be sending those Robo-Calls out to the Non-patriotic part of America.

[GwenD]

LOL

[wrenchdevil]

whats happens to old mavericks when they are of no use anymore? They become dogfood. My pet will be very happy.

A few words about the firm behind the robocalls--------------- Feather Larson & Synhorst DCI SourceWatch:

Feather, Larson & Synhorst DCI (FLS-DCI) are "Specialists in Telephone Contact Business." The telemarketing company used to be known as Feather Hodges Larson & Synhorst DCI. In 2000, the Washington DC-based DCI Group was spun off from FLS-DCI.

FLS-DCI has been one of the largest corporate receipents of funds from the Republican National Committee in 2004. FLS-DCI has close ties to key White House advisor Karl Rove and others in the GOP.

FLS-DCI specializes in creating phony front groups to make it appear as if there's a groundswell of support for its clients' issues.



"Our client list consists of the last five Presidential Campaigns including Bush/Cheney 2000. We also provide services for the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee, and hundreds of Republican State Parties and candidates on all levels,
Advisor to President George Walker Bush, Karl Rove's endorsement of FLS-DCI reads:

"I know these guys well. They become partners with the campaigns they work with. From designing the program to drafting scripts; from selecting targets to making the calls in a professional, successful way they work as hard to win your races as you do."

There is something about that picture that is very disturbing. I can absolutely imagine Sarah Palin looking exactly that way, with exactly that "smile", as she points me or any other liberal out to be sent to the death camps she and her friend Dick Cheney have Blackwater build just for us so Bush's little FBI use against American citizens can prevent Barack Obama from actually taking office.

I know that is a paranoid and rather extreme take on things...perhaps. But my mother-in-law was a Romanian Jewish refugee from the Nazis at 3 years old, lost many in her family, and has never quite recovered from that experience emotionally. These things actually do happen in the world. And the people pulling the puppet strings for the US right now are the ones who have been making them happen in the places we don't hear about all that often.

[LemonMeringue]

Listen up, Sarah.

75,000 people came to hear Obama in K.C., MO yesterday. 100,000 came to St. Louis. At KC where I attended there were a pathetic 5 people outside the gates holding up McCain/Palin signs. 5 Five V FIVE

We know who is listening to us. And your lies about taxes fool nobody.

[teron678]

& you people are surprise ... why???

[breakingnews]

OK, now I get it. Whatever they say they dont like is exactly what they are going to do next.

"We dont like robocalls i.e. were making more of them"

"We dont hear ha teful statements at our rallies i.e. We hear 'em and we like 'em"

""Rev Wright is not going to be an issue i.e. Until we make it one"

[fiorastar]

And ACORN is a "vote fraud" organization--because they follow all the laws we are regularly breaking with our own voter registration groups.

[OhComeOnNow]

You just stay classy - you betcha! {wink!}

[The Lorax]

Is lying mavericky?

[saami]

Lying is the one thing Sarah Palin does well. Anything she says is a lie including any pronouns, verbs or adjectives. Believe nothing she says. Time for her to return to Alaska.

[angiemomma]

Another thing she does well..getting pregnant.

[breakingnews]

YUP YUP! Doncha love the way she reformed McCain? Once a likeable little clown, now a pandering liar! That is REFORM you can count on!!

[studioh!]

McSame, Paillin', Schmidt Happens, white Charlie Black - they are all from a place called Hypocrisyopolis.

[ConcernfromCanada]

If Sarah Palin told you that it was a beautiful sunny day, I would suggest you take an umbrella along.

[000Jade000]

She said Barack and Joe don't listen to the American people? What a lying witch. You know, she won't even SPEAK to the American people. Effing hypocrite.

[Johnjlws]

Say it ain't so, Sarah. You're not lying...again, are you?

Oops. My bad. Of course you are. Your mouth is open and words are coming out.
