Here's a great little description of exactly what it was that Giuliani and Palin were mocking:

If you think having babies, one after the other, neglecting them while persuing your ambitions, is qualification for president, you probably are a republican shill. If you think smoking dope while becoming a extremist evangelical right wing moron is qualification for president, you are a republican shill, incapable of thinking for yourself

It never fails to stun and amuse me how quickly those on the left sink to comfortably insulting people by commenting negatively on their race, gender, gender identity or economic status.

Governor Palin has been insulted because she chooses to have her career as well as a family. Should Obama drop out of the race because his children need him? Their still at home and THEIR mom works (or did until the campaign).
She has been insulted because of her education. Now, anyone who has anything to do with college applications knows that, when it comes to the Ivies, if your grades and SAT's are at a certain level (say, 1590 and 4.48 out or 4.5) it doesn't guarantee you admission, even if you are, say class valedictorian. My niece, a recent graduate of MIT, had these scores and didn't get accepted to any of the Ivies. I don't know what Ms. Palin's scores were, but then again, neither do you. To get into an Ivy, you need an edge -- being a minority (but not Asian) helps, having a special talent helps --but sports more than musical or artistic talent, having a parent who attended helps, but is still not a lock. Besides these other things you need a whole pile of luck.
With the comments about how many kids she has and how substandard her education is, comes the implication (and I haven't heard it said explicitly, but I'm sure it's coming) that she is trailer trash. Now, for democrats to use that as an insult -- whether explicitly or implicitly -- is truly a hoot as they always claim to be for the downtrodden and the poor and working class.
Apparently, they want to lord it over the poor and working class, who after all are ignorant fools churning out babies and need their guidance. It's painfully obvious from their rhetoric against Gov. Palin (as well as Obama's 'clinging to their religion and guns' gaffe) that they have absolutely no respect for those they claim to be the party of.
and they wonder why they are called elitist...

If you think that being in a marriage, having children and taking care of those children are the sole responsibility of the wife, then you must be a male chauvinist who still lives in his mother's basement. If YOU think we republican's cannot think for ourselves, then you need to smoke some more dope, follow your evangelical, terriorist supporting, loves his "God D*mn" American Pastor annoited fool straight to hell. And please have a pleasant trip!

If that were Obama's only community qualification, yes. Obama was also director of the Developing Communities Project.

:"During [Obama's] three years as the DCP's director, its staff grew from 1 to 13 and its annual budget grew from $70,000 to $400,000, with accomplishments including helping set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants' rights organization."-

Yes, this is the project that Obama was involved in with the guy he said was "just a neighbor"--the anarchist Bill Ayers. The project was a failure. Obama has some explaining to do on this one, but of course, the mainstream media has been giving him a pass.

Register democrat voters....give me a break. As if that's the ONLY thing Obama's ever done. Jesus.

This is all the LIBERALS can do. Ever since Palin became the V.P.nominee, the press has been after her. You have not named one thing Obama has done. And don't use the LORD'S name. It won't save his rear. BIDEN doesn't even know that our next V.P. is a Governor. Who has the experience?

Actually the organizers might like to demand that Palin give up her corruption and lies on many topics.

Fact Check of Governor Palin's Speech
....
PALIN: "It was the spirit that brought me to the governor's office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau … when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol' boys network."
REALITY: PALIN HAS A LT. GOVERNOR WHO IS A FORMER OIL LOBBYIST, HIRED WASILLA'S FIRST FEDERAL LOBBYIST (A FORMER STEVENS STAFFER) & HAD THE SUPPORT OF ENTRENCHED ALASKA POLITICIANS DURING HER 2006 RACE.
Palin's Oil & Gas Appointee Is Former Lobbyist for TransCanada. "Marty Rutherford, who leads Gov. Sarah Palin's gas pipeline team, made $40,200 in 2003 while consulting in Juneau for a pipeline subsidiary of TransCanada. TransCanada is one of the companies bidding for a state license to build a pipeline to carry gas to market from Alaska's North Slope. It's not a disqualifier, but the past connection deserves a second thought." [Anchorage Daily News editorial, 12/15/07]
Palin "Counting on Her Lieutenant Governor Candidate… Former Oil Lobbyist" to Help Win Oil Industry Support. "The defiantly grass-roots nature of the campaign may have distanced her from certain traditional centers of power in Alaska. The oil industry is one -- but the campaign says it is counting on her lieutenant governor candidate, Parnell, a former oil lobbyist and legislator, to help there." [Anchorage Daily News, 10/24/06]
Palin's Former Chief of Staff is Stevens' Campaign Manager. "Monegan says pressure came from those around Palin, including former Palin chief-of-staff Mike Tibbles, Department of Administration Commissioner Annette Kreitzer, and director of boards and commissions Frank Bailey. Tibbles, who is now the campaign manager for Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, said Friday he couldn't comment on whether he spoke to Monegan about Wooten." [Anchorage Daily, 7/19/08]-

As Mayor, Palin Hired a Washington Lobbyist to Help Get Earmarks for Wasilla – Lobbyist Was Former Chief of Staff for Indicted Senator Ted Stevens. "And as mayor of the small town of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002, Palin also hired a Washington lobbying firm that helped secure $8 million in congressionally directed spending projects, known as earmarks, according to public spending records compiled by the watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste and lobbying documents. Wasilla's lobbying firm was headed by Steven Silver — a former chief of staff to Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, a key proponent of the bridge project." [USA Today, 8/31/08]

The Usual Alaska Suspects - Ted Stevens, Don Young, And Lisa Murkowski Fundraised For Palin. "Will we see Ted Stevens stumping for Sarah Palin? Palin said this morning that Stevens appeared at a fund-raiser for her in Ketchikan and gave a speech about 'moving Alaska forward.' But does that mean he'll pop up in any advertisements? (Remember his arguably pivotal role at the end of the Knowles and Murkowski Senate race?) Palin said she doubts it and hasn't asked… She said Don Young came to one of her fund-raisers two days ago, and she expects Lisa Murkowski at an upcoming event. Tonight she planned to talk with John Binkley, who she says is writing a letter to his supporters on her behalf, and she planned to meet with Frank Murkowski tomorrow morning." ["The Trail" blog, Anchorage Daily News, 10/13/06]
In Her 2002 Campaign for Lieutenant Governor, Palin Raised 'About 10 Percent Of Her Campaign Fund' From Veco, An Oil Company At the Heart of Federal Investigation. "While mayor of Wasilla, Palin ran for lieutenant governor in 2002. She gathered $5,000 -- or about 10 percent of her campaign fund -- from Veco officials or their wives along the way." [Anchorage Daily News, 9/6/06]

"Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Thursday blamed supporters of the Democratic presidential ticket for spreading "misinformation and flat-out lies" about her and her family."
Thats a fact Daily Kos MSNBC Huf po, think progress the list goes on,no doubt about it.
Apparently Obama supporters have no faith, zero, none, nada, zipo that Obama can win on issues so the resort to spreading lies and rumors.
Classic.
BTW did ya see the vid today of Obama after his interview with Bill O. He look shaken, distant, like a man who’s bubble just burst.
With his bio
International experience, as a Seven-year-old boy living in Indonesia
A Community Organizer, someone needs to let Obama in on the joke.
Community Organizer is a Boy Scout merit badge.-

Here's a joke. Being the Mayor of Wasilla Alaska, a Town with a population of approximately 7,000. There are High schools in NYC with not much less than that. So i guess Sarah Palin is qualified to be a NYC school principal. She's a joke and so is her party. Alaska has about half the population of the Bronx so that means that Mike Bloomberg could easily become master of the UNIVERSE using that as a comparison.
