The Democratic National Committee -- armed with the help of dismissive tweets from a variety of journalists -- scrambled Tuesday night to attack The Daily Caller for its videos of President B.O.'s controversial race comments in 2007 before the story was even published.Using comments from news hounds speculating on TheDC's report, the Democrats quickly worked to dismiss the story it hadn't seen yet -- which was teased Tuesday afternoon on Sean Hannity's radio show and on the Drudge Report -- by calling it "lame."
At about 7:30 p.m. ET, the DNC Rapid Response team sent an email to news hounds titled "That was Lame," listing "instant reaction to the latest lame Drudge/Hannity desperation tactics."
The email merely included tweets from journalists -- before the story was published -- expressing skepticism and disinterest and the mistaken claim that the video had been published before.
The tweets used by the Democratic National Committee came from news hounds at organizations including Politico, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, The New York Times
