Seven video’s of ObamaCare architect calling the American Electorate “stupid”, and the Pretorian Guard media ignore.  One comment by an obscure beltway staffer about Obama’s daughters ‘tude and dress, and the same media go nuclear.  The media quickly dispatching satellite trucks, camped out in front of the staffer’s family home, and launching a full throated Washington Post opposition research operation – the results leading the ABC, CBS and NBC news broadcasts for two days and counting…  
gop 2(Via Washington Free Beacon) Five days after Elizabeth Lauten published a Facebook post criticizing the outfits worn by President Barack Obama’s daughters, the previously obscure Republican Hill staffer is being inundated with threatening messages and major media outlets are pouring resources into tracking her moves and digging into her past.
Two network news vans camped outside of Lauten’s parents home in North Carolina on Tuesday, one day after she resigned as communication director for Rep. Steven Fincher (R., Tenn.) due to the controversy. Lauten was not at the house.
That morning, the Washington Post also assigned one of its foreign affairs correspondents to comb through an archive of columns Lauten wrote for her college newspaper in 2006 and 2007. The investigation found that Lauten had supported intervention in Darfur, criticized Facebook as an invasion of privacy, and warned people against “making race an issue.”
The Lauten controversy erupted on Friday, the day after the Hill aide posted a Facebook message criticizing 13-year-old Sasha Obama and 16-year-old Malia Obama for their appearances at a White House Thanksgiving press conference.

“I get you’re both in those awful teen years, but you’re part of the First Family, try showing a little class,” wrote Lauten. “Rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar.”
Criticism of Lauten erupted on Twitter, with many calling her post an inappropriate attack on the young girls and an example of cyberbullying. By Tuesday the news of her Facebook post had been tweeted tens of millions of times and was trending internationally.
Lauten apologized for her remarks last Friday, but the backlash continued to grow. She later made her apology statement “private” on Facebook after threatening messages were posted in the comments section.
Both ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today show devoted segments to the controversy on Sunday and Monday, according to Newsbusters. Meanwhile, the Smoking Gun reported that Lauten had been arrested for shoplifting when she was 17 years old, and photos of her drinking beer were posted on Twitter with the caption “Yes America. This is the person who told Sasha and Malia to have some class.”
Lauten has also allegedly received threatening phone calls. On Twitter, dozens of users called for her to “die,” “choke,” and “kill yourself.”  (read more)
