National Democrats seem to be a bit aggravated by the media cavalcade that is the Sarah Palin book tour, so they are starting a fundraising drive to counter her public attacks on the Obama Administration.

It's an interesting move by an arm of the Democratic National Committee known as Organizing for America, which runs the old campaign website of then Senator Obama, barackobama.com.

Here is an email that was sent out to their supporters on Friday, which is an effort to raise a half million dollars to counter the message of former Alaska Gov. Palin.

Clearly they don't like Palin - but clearly, they also think they can drum up donations by attacking her directly, labeling her "dangerous", mentioning Rush Limbaugh and more.

Here is the email in its entirety.

"Right now, Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn.

"It's dangerous. Remember, this is the person who coined the term "Death Panels" -- and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists.

"Whatever lie comes next will be widely covered by the media, then constantly echoed by right-wing attack groups and others who are trying to defeat reform.

"As we approach the final sprint on health reform, we can't afford more deception and delay. We need to be ready for anything -- and have the resources to respond with ads, events, and calls to Congress when the attacks come.

"So we're setting a big goal: $500,000 in the next week to help push back against Sarah Palin and her allies. Please chip in $5 to help reach our goal.
 
"Earlier this month, Palin publicly said that she hopes health reform will be "dead on arrival." And since then, she's been working fiercely toward that goal.

"On Tuesday, Palin went on Rush Limbaugh's radio show where she outrageously -- and falsely -- suggested that Americans could "face jail time as punishment" if they don't buy insurance.

"Palin has many more interviews scheduled on Hannity and other conservative shows in the next few weeks, with more platforms to go after the President. As soon as she does, the rest of our opponents will likely parrot those attacks.

"We need to be prepared. And we're counting on you help. Can you chip in $5?
