Lipstick jungle: Team McCain responds
McCain’s ad team is working 24/7. They are capitalizing on Obama’s botched lipstick joke (“Lipstick Bungle” in the immortal NYPost headline writers’ words) and pounding him hard:
I’ve always said that mockery is the better medicine when it comes to Obama. But he’s been such a thug, I’m not feeling sorry for him at all this morning.
The RNC had great fun giving away tire gauges after The One promoted tire inflation to solve the energy crisis.
I’m thinking the McCain campaign store should come up with some cute lipstick-themed gear — maybe lipstick keychains? Or t-shirts with a lip print and “Kiss Off, Obama!” I know our Photoshoppers out there will come up with fun stuff.
I’d buy.
***
Reader Patrick e-mails that he attended the Ohio McCain-Palin rally yesterday: “I was with my wife at the rally today I thought you should know that a lot of women in the crowd were holding up their lipstick to Sarah.” (This was before Obama’s pig remarks, Patrick notes.)
Yes, Team McCain should definitely get some official lipstick products out for sale. They will sell like hotcakes.

Some of them came from the offical obama campagin website or DNC headquarters. If they didn’t come from obamas saintly lips, they were the only ones they didn’t come from.
So, how are congressional Democrats dealing with unemployment? Importing more foreign workers!
The only way it could be about Palin is if Palin is the “lipstick” (not a bad thing) and Bush policies is the “pig.” There’s just no way to listen to what he said and say Palin was the pig.
Oppsie, does that count as a vote?
Obama is just plain bad, he’s so far from Presidential material it’s sick he made it even to the Senate.

McCain/Palin 08′
Image: opps don’t cut it obama.
For you libtards who say that McCain is lying with their protest of the pig comment, where are your protests of this new racial slander known as “community organizer”? Yep, silence.
Obama is a puppet who speaks the words given to him. There is absolutely no way that this comment does not refer to Sarah Palin. Her speech is less than a week old, and, based on the fact that since then the comparisons have been between him and Sarah, rather than McCain, has forced him to take her on. And, if he’s going to make these subtle jabs, which are permissible to a point in a campaign, then the thin-skinned messiah must also condemn those who find racist code in every criticism of the Nobama. Of course, don’t expect intellectual honesty from a leftist.
Yep.
As Churchill said, “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”
Nice to see we have new socialist adolescents, faux-wisemen, and intellectuals to keep lgm and the “Old Guard” company.
Blah, blah, blah, unemployment, blah, blah, Bush-McCain, blah, blah, failed, blah, blah, context, blah, blah, lie, blah, blah,….
Perhaps things should be kept simple:
Trillions have been spent since the 1960s (starting with the “War on Poverty”) on various government wealth transfer programs – i.e., income redistribution, and things are no better, perhaps worse, as the socialists constantly tell us; and, as the socialists also continue to tell us, to demand from us, more funding is needed.
What the socialists are actually saying, but won’t admit to saying, is that the fire that they started is getting more and more out of control, and they are screaming for more gasoline to pour onto it.
And make no mistake…all these programs are simply income and wealth redistribution:
taking from producers of wealth and given to consumers of wealth – at the point of a gun (the government’s, and only the government’s, last resort);
income adjustments and phaseouts for certain deductions;
death/estate taxes;
taxes on social security payments only above a certain income level;
blah, blah, blah;
are merely income redistribution – taking from some, and giving to others.
And lest we forget:
The worst thing about this wealth transfer is that it is at bottom no better than a jobs and vote-buying program:
The solid majority of the transferred wealth goes not to the disadvantaged, but rather to government employees, staffers, cost-of-living increases, employment benefits, etc.
At the end, the disadvantaged get something – even the lesser part of an amount of money is more than no money, and the government workers are now in unions.
Both of these groups, of course, fiercely cling to what they are given by politicians and the government, which has been taken from producers, essentially at the point of a gun; and ferociously and savagely attack anyone whom they perceive threatens their government gift, or “entitlement”.
Sorry if that appears insensitive; but that – along with selective breaks for certain industries and rich individuals, courtesy of our outrageous IRS tax code – after the bells and whistles and distractions are removed, is among the scams that is being played on producers.
As if the above were not enough, the socialists have also given us our present coarsened, sewage-laden culture and society.
Thank you, socialists!
Tell that to all the woman who just switched to the McCain camp. It think it was something like a 20 point swing.
Only if your head is up your ass. She made her lipstick joke less than a week ago, and even the crowd knew what he meant.
Sorry.
Ah, but the situation will have changed: As President, he can’t afford to dismiss conservatives and still hope to get his agenda passed.
He’s trying to apologize now…
“made up controversy” made up by you BO!
“innocent remark” according to you BO!
“phony and foolish diversions” brought to light because of you BO!
Barack Obama, NOT ready to LEAD!
No, this is not what we WANT to talk about…but consider if John McCain had made a comment about BO’s big ears…or his middle name…etc…
Enough of you, BO! Is RIGHT! I’ve had enough.
Red State Skeptic said:
There is no way that old joke about a pig with lipstick would get that much applause from that crowd, unless…
Like I said, it is absolutely plausible, vouched for by the reaction of his audience.
Be careful how far you take this. A politician is NOT responsible for everyone who supports him. If he was, he’d have to refuse the votes of every person he disagrees with.

Image: obama trying to throw a chage-up. Ball Four!!
Looks like his explanation for this “gaffe” is – well they’re just trying to swiftboat and divert. And since swiftboating means to reveal the truth, I have to agree with him.
Remember macaca !!!
Look at the footage. Obama makes a dramtic pause after saying “you can put lipstick on a pig.” Look at the expressions on the people behind him after a second has passed and the words have sunk in. Look at the African American woman to his right, with the short hair, her mouth drops and she grabs her friend’s leg next to her. Everyone interpretted the joke the same way. Maybe BO meant it or not, but once again BO stepped in it and now a whole day is spent away from the issues.
I just heard a couple of great retorts on Glenn Beck that Gov. Palin could use.
One would be for her to come out and say “Yeah, I guess I’m the little pig, but this little pig isn’t gonna let the fatcats in Washington keep piling on… they’re going wee.wee.wee all the way home.” Second idea would be for her to wear one of those pig noses and bring our her lipstick and say, “I guess I’m glad our opponent decided to joke around with me, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t play well if he did it to Ahmadinjad.” Humor is her weapon… kind of reminds me of RR.

This is prrof that Obama was referring to Palin.
…and what of his half-brother living in a hut and making $12 per yr? What of the Senator Obama Kogelo School? Promises. Schmomises.
I think the Obamassiah is the one that needs to be careful. He’s done nothing to stop the slander and underhanded attacks. The ONLY thing he’s done is to say that he told his staff to leave the family alone. Since David Plouffe is running the campaign, and not Obama, Obama’s staff is quite small compared to the size of Plouffe’s staff.
If he really wanted the unfounded attacks to stop all he’d have to do is say “If you support me you’ll treat the Palin family like you treat mine.”
But he’s neither got the guts nor the decency to say such a thing.

You can’t fool us, we know that your party refers to Palin as a pig.
With a Democratic congress? Whatever!
Did you even read the article?
“All that McCain did was to put lipstick on the Pig (the Bush Administration whose failed strategies have wrecked our nation).”
Pig = Bush policies.
Yep, the Obamanites are worried. But I am loving and understanding and will say no cruel thing. BUT: You can put lip stick on a bitter mama but you still have a bitter mama. Oink.

Hey Obama want to see a Bitter American?
Look at your wife.
(have the hat, know it’s true)
True, Obama was applying the saying to McCain’s policies as his primary meaning. However, given the current context of the campaign—Palin’s well known lipstick joke recently becoming well known and the fact that Obama is actively campaigning against both McCain and Palin—it is very, very possible for that saying to act as a double entendre where the secondary meaning applies to Palin’s lipstick joke. Furthermore, I think Obama is just too politically savvy to have missed such an obvious double-meaning. Therefore, I think it’s likely that he intended the double meaning.
However, given the way the McCain ad is cut, it buries the fact that it’s a double entendre and pretends that Obama is crass enough to openly make such a joke about Palin. In that sense, it is an inaccurate ad, which undermines its purpose.

Don’t be so sure. Polls are showing the races are tightening. There is even a suggestion that the Senate may go back to the Republicans. The Palin-factor is translating to these races as well.
Nothing “urban legend” about Karl Rove. A Carolina guy McCain just hired has proudly admitted to being part of the infamous SC primary in 2000 (that gives you an idea of how far McCain will go to sell out his principles).
Read this.
I am sure thats the party line today, but given the DNC’s last 2 weeks of ongoing smears, its also not suprising why people saw it as simply another smear against Palin. I think Obama is trying to have it both ways.

The subprime crisis was in large part created.. if you weren’t paying attention.. by liberal politician (yes, that includes some R’s) that forced lenders to loosen the standards borrowers had to meet to qualify for a loan. Had lenders been left to make those judgment calls on their own, you would not have Joe Homeowner in a loan he couldn’t afford to pay… which is at the crux of the Sub Prime Crisis LGM. Where do you think the term “SUB PRIME” originated?????

Nonononono! Don’t you see? lgm & Red State Skeptic have already assured us he couldn’t possibly be understood as referring to Palin as a pig. I’m sure the woman you are referring to just remembered she left her oven on at home or something. It was just a coincidence that it happened when he made the pig joke.
Seriously, you probably think that – just because people in Trinity United were jumping up and down, hollering, patting Wright on the back – that this somehow means that those inflammatory positions permeate the entire church.

Man I’m amazed at the power of George Bush. Just reading this blog over the last year I’ve learned he’s created global warming, made and steered hurricanes, created terrorism, and wrecked the country – even going so far as to re-write the constitution. He even has made USA a country that the whole world laughs at (in fact, they hate it so much that none of them want to come here…oh wait)
Is there anything the man can’t do? He’s way more powerful than Superman.
I thought this election was over and that the tax sucking black hole was going to win. BUT NOW!…. based on the panic in the left and the fumbling of the dope with hope, I think we can, I think we can, I think we can.
Just because y’all say this a million times doesn’t make it true. Tell me one member of the DNC who has smeared Sarah Palin.
Obama’s people calling Sarah Palin a whore and her daughter a whore is not out of bounds for a Democrat apparently. RedState, take your head out of your arse and stop whining about Rove and an election that took place almost a decade ago. Idiot.
Obama.
You do realize I’m talking about a guy who was involved in push polling people to say “Would your opinion of John McCain change if you knew he has fathered a child with a black woman?”
Give an example or it didn’t happen.
Face it, RS: the no-drill congress is on a very short leash – and with OPEC voting to decrease oil supply, that leash is about to get shorter!
Btw, you do know that Obama/Biden are over, don’t you?
Sorry, but it was deliberate. There is no way that 1) Obama went in and gave an off the cuff speech, and 2) that his cadre of speechwriters, and the Great Orator himself, who parse every word for different meanings and alternate interpretations, would let that fly if they did not intend to.
Obama screwed up, and pi$$ed off even more women with his cheap attack.
My wife saw the video this morning on the Early Show, and, without prompting from me, said “Oh my God!”
I think that exclamation was repeated in numerous households this morning.
He could have made his point with any number of sayings, but he chose the one with the word “lipstick.”
Is he stupid, arrogant or just lacking the judgment needed to both get along with people and be the president.
If my wife is any indicator, all of the above apply.
You are kidding right??? WOW
Well Red State – #142 – now that you’ve asked the question – would your opinion of McCain change?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I have that feeling, yeah.
Let us back off on Red State Skeptic for awhile. He is having his “special problem” and can’t handle ridicule. Send him some pork chops and lip stick and hope for the best. oink.

I woke up this AM still angry about the lipstick snark.
I’ll be mailing my lipstick to the One’s campaign HQ with the following note:
The is a pig in this contest — and it’s you. You’re a sexist pig who first smeared Hillary, and now thinks Sarah belongs in the kitchen.
You’ll get my vote when pigs fly.
Kiss off, Obama.
I’m also sending a donation to PUMA — they’re on the prowl in OH and PA working against “the One”.
Given that her line about lipstick has become a de facto trademark it is indeed plausable that he was taking a swipe at Palin. Judging from the crowd’s reaction at the time they clearly took it that way.
But let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and say he wasn’t calling Palin a pig. As a national politician, and one who aspires to represent America in front of the world, he should have been aware of the easily foreseeable upset this would cause. For someone not to see that they’d have to be an idiot. This is doubly true considering that Obama’s gift for oratory is supposed to surpass that of all mere mortals.
So, is Obama a nasty, obnoxious prick or is he an idiot?
And just as an aside, I think it’s hilarious to see people who’ve been turning logic on it’s head for months to find “coded racism” in everything every Republican says suddenly trying to dismiss this.
Repetition works, Repetition works, Repetition works, Repetition works…
Obama said Palin is a PIG! Obama said Palin is a PIG! Obama said Palin is a Pig…

Now as for me, I might slather the pig with BBQ sauce after & eat him too, but that’s a whole different story..
I’m personally beginning to believe that Obama is in fact a closet Muslim.. If that is true, this makes his comments even lower, if you know anything about Islamic beliefs regarding pigs.

Yup like I said. It’s the way you Democrats exercise your logic lately.

No, keep it comin’. But try making a coherent argument as to any member of the Obama campaign, the DNC or the mainstream media telling lies about Sarah Palin. Please, I’m waiting.
Name one.
Really? Name one.
Note: to qualify as a “smear” something has to be demonstrably untrue. So don’t try to tell us that saying Obama befriends terrorists or is inspired by racist demogogues are smears.
Whats the point? You will just say that this person is not “democratic party” enough.
GEEEZZZ Pointless.

Obama’s audience got the total context, and they obviously understood it to be a dig at Palin.
Let’s just agree on the most basic part of the speech. Obama’s intention was to use this phrase… one of two things are obvious..1. he meant the “pig” reference 2. He didn’t “mean” it, but then has a lack of judgment. Either way, what a maroon!
If lgm keeps saying it again and again clicks his heals he may end up in Kansas.

do I really have to go on?
Yes I do. Nixon was not the ultra-conservative, war-monger monster he has been made out to be by the press. But we are talking about smears here. Just which ones that he made bother you so much? Watergate was not a Nixon smear, it was a failed plot conceived by and carried out by subordinates. Or are you talking about the famous “enemies list” which every journalist in Washington strived to be on as a career booster?
I forgot how pervasive Rove Derangement Syndrome is. But point by point:
1. I believe you are talking about Judge Ernest Hornsby? Rove ran an aggressive campaign which focused on the infamous $4 million in punitive damages against BMW. The pedophile thing was a supposed whispering campaign (which proves Rove did it!)
2. I believe the charge was Rove planted rumors that Ann Richard was too tolerant of gays and lesbians. And just what is wrong with that? I thought that was a good thing. Or do you want your leaders perceived as anti-gay? (The lesbian charge was also from a “whispering campaign’ which proves Rove did it!)
3. John McCain is a Republican. We are talking about Democrat smears of Republicans or Republican smears of Democrats. Still, the love child rumor was the result of yet another whispering campaign, thus proving Rove did it.
Pretty pathetic list. You will have to do better.
Now let me show you what a Democrat smear looks like. I’m going to go back because these are the type of things that never got refuted before the new media came into being. One of my favorites: Ronald Reagan once made a statement to the effect that he prefered submarines armed with nuclear missiles to those stationed in silos because a submarine can be recalled after being sent out. Part of that statement was intentionally taken out of context and played repeatedly to make it look like he believed the missiles, not the subs themselves could be recalled. Then this was used to hammer him mercilessly to show what a dunce he was about all things military or technical. No whispering campaign, just blatant lies. That is what I call a smear.
lgm = a flippin kos parrot.
It’s Killin em and

McCain/Palin 08′
To repeat: He was not talking about McCain’s policy, he was talking about McCain. McCain said this… and McCain says that… he was talking about a person, so when he out of the blue came up with this unscripted zinger the world knew he was still talking about a person.
And that’s the main difference between the time McCain used the line and the time Obama used the line. McCain was taling about a policy, never mentioned Hillary, Obama was talking about a person.
Don’t even try to weasel out of this one. Your candidate screwed up huge, the world caught him. It’s all over but the childish whining and bumper sticker philosophy about cheating for the next four years.
Here you go:
Yeah you have to go on, I asked you to name the Republican. As far as I can tell all of these came from Hillary’s PUMAs
Before she decided to back Steve Forbes in 2000, Sarah Palin went to a Buchanan rally with a Pat Buchanan button on. Please don’t tell me that all mayors do that to presidential campaigns “as a courtesy.”
See? Its pointless talking to RSS.
Seriously, read this article. Rove had footprints all over whispering campaigns, way too many not to draw the conclusion that he was the common denominator.
Palin never endorsed or supported Pat Buchanan for president. She once wore a Buchanan button as a “courtesy” when he visited Wasilla, but shortly afterward she was appointed to co-chair of the campaign of Steve Forbes in the state.

Really, do we even need to bother pointing out how the Dems have been smearing Palin?
Don’t cast your pearls before swine.
“…but we don’t think the American people are ready to take a 10% chance on change,”
This coming from a guy who voted with bottom-rated congress leaders 97% of the time….
Hey, Barry… you think we’re more willing to take a 3% chance on change?
The problem is not that she wore a Buchanon button, it’s that Buchanon was improperly smeared as “a Nazi sympathizer” and by extension, that Palin was also smeared with the same false label. That’s like saying you’re a Nazi because you once shook hands with someone you met who had argued with a neo-nazi skinhead.
Since when do elected officials routinely patronize (and wear buttons of) presidential candidates just because they’re coming through town “as a courtesy?” (Also the excuse for addressing the AIP.) Would you expect any Republican mayor to wear an Obama button just because he was in town?
And what courtesy is deserved by a man who said that Mexicans would result in the death of civilization?
Not a smear, and obviously the truth.
Is this seriously the best you can do? This is what we’ve been hearing about for weeks about how Sarah Palin has been attacked because the Obama campaign put a little spin on a speech she gave?
Sarah Palin went to a Buchanan rally with a Pat Buchanan button on.

I’ll put this simply because you apparently lack the ability to understand: that’s garbage and you know it.
The Obama campaign’s statement totally ignored the fact that she had been Governor for years, and that she does have international experience which exceeds Obama’s, including, but not limited to, successfully negotiating with Canada to build a natural gas pipeline.
Furthermore, Obama’s campaign put out a new statement within half an hour to replace the original statement. Why would they have done that if the original statement was wholly true and accurate?
As for the speechwriter thing, EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN USES A SPEECHWRITER! Please tell me you’re not brazen enough to claim otherwise! It’s an obvious smear to claim that just because she also used a speechwriter that the speech somehow did not reflect what she wanted to say. If it wasn’t to make that point (which is a smear), then why make the claim at all?
Of course, let’s not forget the topic of this posting, which was Obama’s obvious double-entendre use of “lipstick on a pig.” Are Obama’s own words enough for you?
Or how about Obama’s own bitter clingers to guns and religions statement?
Smears are nothing new for Obama and his campaign.
PKAmmoTroop said (#178):
Read the quote:
What stinks is Republican policy. He didn’t mention Palin. The McCain charge is a lie.
Alaska borders on two foreign countries. Palin has to know about long range Russian bombers that are on maneuvers next to the Alaskan boarder and how to respond in conjunction with NORAD. So it’s a smear in reality.
