'It Makes the Democrats Look Really, Really Bad'

It seems when you have a liberal agenda and are part of Obama's "Organizing for America" group then flag desecration is acceptable. Why else would this video be selected as a finalist in something called the “Health Reform Video Challenge”?

One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.

In the video – which is accompanied by the sound of a heart monitor pumping and then flat-lining – words such as “pre-existing conditions,” “homeless” and “death panel” ultimately obliterate the flag, which reappears on screen seconds later with the words “Health Will Bring Our Country Back to Life” on the blue field where the 50 stars usually are.

According to the Organizing for American Web site, the 20 finalists in the “Health Reform Video Challenge” were chosen by a panel of “qualified” Democratic National Committee “employee judges.”

A contestant whose video didn’t make the final-20 cut complains that a video “defacing the flag” won’t do much to help President Barack Obama or the Democrats sell health care reform.

“They should never pick that,” said the contestant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “It makes the Democrats look really, really bad.”

Naturally after selecting this offensive video they weren't prepared to comment. I guess they need to get their talking points together.

A spokesman for Organizing for America said the group was not prepared to provide immediate comment on the video, which, according to the OFA Web site, was produced by Daniel Lahoda and Saber.

Since Organizing for America was created by and is wholly owned by Barack Obama, we'll assume for now he has no problem with this video.

Naturally, Obama's stenographers figure this is OK since Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh did it, or something like that.

You Stay Classy, DNC

Well, since Just a Grunt already noted Sarah Palin's resignation as Alaska governor, there isn't much more to cover than the reaction.

As always, the Democrats lead the pack in snide smugness.

Following Palin's announcement, the Democratic National Committee blasted what it called her "bizarre behavior."

"Either Sarah Palin is leaving the people of Alaska high and dry to pursue her long shot national political ambitions or she simply can't handle the job now that her popularity has dimmed and oil revenues are down," DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse said.

"Either way, her decision to abandon her post and the people of Alaska who elected her continues a pattern of bizarre behavior that more than anything else may explain the decision she made today."

Classy.

Amazingly, Palin's uterine stalker fails to mention Trig.

Much more reaction here.

So, is this a move with an eye on a 2012 run?

Update: Doug Ross notes an item from one of the web's true bottom feeders (via Dan Riehl).

Also, ten theories why Palin may have resigned.

Having noted bottom feeders earlier, get a load of this:

Unreal.

In case they try to toss this one down the memory hole, here it is.

Update: Sure enough, the disgusting item from the Huffington Post went down the memory hole.

Oops.

Don't forget, the president thinks so much of those folks he singles them out for questions at press conferences.
