MSM: We are Obama's non-official campaign

  Admittedly, many of the writers on the infamous Journolist list serv were partisan liberals hired at their places of employment for their point of view; many, however, are supposedly objective journalists. Or at least, they were supposed to be.
  Today's installment at The Daily Caller which reveals their posts concerns their tactics to cover Governor Sarah Palin when McCain announced it. 
  Once again, the emails are quite revealing in the depth of emotion, passion for Obama as "the one," and lack of objectivity regarding anyone, anyone, who disagreed with their world view. In fact, their emails reveal such a contemptuous, condescending and vicious attitude toward those who disagree with their world view that it is difficult to see them in any kind of favorable light at all.
  What is also remarkable is the pack mentality, the group think, the desire to speak as one voice as Obama's non-official campaigners. Anyone who suggests conservatives, who rarely meet politically, run as a pack like these dudes is delusional. This list serv reveals true conformity.
  In today's installment at the DC, everything about Palin's life (and this conversation took place on the day of her announcement) is fair game for mockery and political gamesmanship: her faith, her conservative stances, her family, her "Down's baby" (it's Down Syndrome, not Down's), her motherhood, her experience. 
  When someone suggests they criticize Palin on her lack of experience, someone else jumps in to remind the group that Obama has less experience than Palin at governing. (A fact of which we are all painfully aware today.)
  The Daily Caller has really done a service by printing these emails.
  Ezra Klein, formerly the administrator of the list-serv and now a blogger for The (so-called newspaper) Washington Post, claims that these emails have been taken out of "context." 
  Interesting point, there, Mr. Klein.
  Weren't all the signs and videos y'all use to prove tea partiers are racist taken out of context, manufactured, in fact FAKED? Did you know it? Does it matter? Or was that just part of your non-official campaigning?
  And, Mr. Klein, if your emails WERE taken out of context, why don't you put them INTO context by releasing all the emails?
  We''re waiting but all we seem to be hearing is crickets chirping.

Daniel Levy of the Century Foundation noted that Obama’s “non-official campaign” would need to work hard to discredit Palin. “This seems to me like an occasion when the non-official campaign has a big role to play in defining Palin, shaping the terms of the conversation and saying things that the official [Obama] campaign shouldn’t say – very hard-hitting stuff, including some of the things that people have been noting here – scare people about having this woefully inexperienced, no foreign policy/national security/right-wing christia wing-nut a heartbeat away …… bang away at McCain’s age making this unusually significant …. I think people should be replicating some of the not-so-pleasant viral email campaigns that were used against [Obama].”

ALSO, at the WSJ, Fred Barnes addresses an issue that came up yesterday at DC that, to get what they wanted, the journolisters should accuse someone conservative of racism:

My experience with other conservative journalists is that they are loners. One of the most famous conservative columnists of the past half-century, the late Robert Novak, is a good example. I knew him well for 35 years. He didn't tell me what stories he was working on nor ask what I was planning to write. He never mentioned how we might promote Republicans or aid the conservative cause, nor did I.
