This is no big deal… Just ask know-it-all Allah Paundit (Obama apologist) over at HotAir.
The real “issue”: Do we want a dangerous socialist in the White House, backed by an out of control Congress? It has been said here that we need to be better than them i.e. honor and such. Ther is NO HONOR in a socialist regime. We need to attack them with everything we can.
Nope. He was clearly referencing the policy and not Hillary. I don’t think he mentioned Hillary’s name while he was answering the question.
Didn’t read through all the comments, maybe somebody already mentioned it, but Ms. Berry is delusional:
Alan Colmes, right-wing bigot? Clearly she hasn’t watched the show. At least she admits what is blaringly obvious to the rest of us… that PMSNBC commentators are biased.
So they were going with the “pig” insult all along, and nobody thought to tell Obama it wasn’t a good idea after her Hockey Mom,Pit Bull lipstick comment. Got it they are having a failure to communicate.
They know what they’re doing. I can only hope that it backfires and alienates moderates and idependents.
1. This victimzation of Sarah Palin can:
-cost McCain the election. (I hope so.)
-get enough shrill, close minded women to join the victimation campaign, and help McCain win the campaign.
-set the spin going for Palin to quit the campaign if a) there’s something really damaging on her out there that can’t be overcome, or b) she proves to not be ready for primetime and becomes a liability.
She could quit in a teary press conference where she mentions protecting her family 2 dozen times. The repubs will hope the illogical female outrage will cause them to vote against Obama.
I guess we’ll see how it plays out, but the “gender card” is obviously deliberate in the McCain camp.
I gotta get back to work, so I won’t be debating further. Peace.
You’ve made it very clear that you don’t support the troops and that you have practically ZERO appreciation for your rights as American as your failed school of ideal thought is protected by millions of American soldiers, 5000+ nukes, the USA nuclear navy and sonar nets.
Regarding the economy, McCain will stimulate growth because he has faith in the market of capitalism. Obama is too heavy on the tax side, mainly because he’s too afraid to say no in spite of being free of “lobbyists.”
Maybe Barry O’ was talkin about his own wife!
The contrasts of Cindy and Michell O’ are astounding…..
one bitter, one beautiful inside and out.

McCain/Palin 08′
Image: Not only is Obama and empty suit, his luggage is full of incompetence.
You fools. That page is a compliment to Governor Palin. The McCain campaign is the pig and Governor Palin’s life story is the lipstick.
Some of you will be glad to know that I’ll mostly be staying away from this site until after the election. I didn’t start reading Michelle Malkin until after 2004, so I didn’t know what she was like come election time.
She is outrageous, intellectually dishonest, and repeats herself like a broken record. Any outrageous thing said by an individual about Sarah Palin is attributed to liberals. In one case, she refused to provide proof of anything odious being said. And now she’s making up things out of thin air. The phrase “lipstick on a pig,” the same phrase used by John McCain in reference to Hillary Clinton’s policies only a year ago, is not offensive. Only a moron could take offense to it.
The “good” Michelle Malkin (as opposed to the Evil Malkin of the past few weeks) calls politicians of every stripe (mostly liberals, but conservatives too) on their BS. She brings out stories that don’t get a lot of play. But this is giving muckraking a bad (worse?) name. The stuff on this site is now beyond parody.
I now wonder if McCain picked Palin just to use the sexist card the first chance he got. Quite a ticket you all have. I am very excited to be back here on this site in November rubbing your noses in your inevitable loss.
DLTDHYOTWO rusty.
We seem to have not just a candidate, but a whole political party that doesn’t know a pig from a pit bull. There’s time left before November. Perhaps they will learn.

John and Mookie,
Your arguments are FOS. You think McCain and Gov Palin read some obscure web page on a democratic site and crafted a speech around it? Do you think if either of you were writing an acceptance speech for the Vice President of the United States you would be perusing blogs that same day while writing and practicing to deliver the most important speech of your life? If you believe that I’ve got some land in Florduh for you.
B. Hussein Obambi’s remarks directly refer to Gov. Palin as a pig. It is plain and clear to the rest of us what he meant. He can’t be enough of a man as Michelle O and own up to it. I for one would never vote for a sniveling wanker such as B. Hussein Obambi.
Wow.
Are you kidding me?
Obama never mentioned Palin by name. He prefaced the zinger with a paragraph about McCain’s policies being the same as Bush’s and calling it “change.”
The intellectual dishonesty on this site is out of control. How can you defend what McCain said and oppose what Obama said WHEN THEY SAID THE SAME EXACT THING!
Oh, right, the “D” next to Obama’s name. Noted.
Really? They do? Directly? Show me?
You baseless liar.
What the hell are you talking about? Who said Palin included that line in her speech after seeing it on a blog? Try again.
You have to keep in mind, BALast, that during the primaries the actual votes for Obama were very often less than his predicted poll numbers. In fact, I believe there were at least a couple of states where he led in the polling data but lost to Hillary.
As my mother used to tell me, if someone tries to make laugh at you, laugh with them. I don’t think he was calling Gov. Palin a pig, rather the policies, it fits in with them trying to tie McCain in with Bush. That said, I do think the lipstick reference was deliberate, he was trying to be clever and funny and he was playing to the audience. The McCain camp should have rose above this one.
Slow down there Rusty. I take you got here recently. I was posting earlier that I’m giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on this one. I don’t believe he meant to insult Palin with his pig remark.
That being said, there are lots of people out there that do believe it was an attack on her. Obama was on TV earlier today and he could’ve just said he was sorry if anyone was offended. That would’ve been the end of the story. The fact that he didn’t is what makes me mad. He’s either too arrogant or too stupid to realize that he offended a lot of people with this remark. That’ll keep this issue going and make sure that the women voters who switched to McCain will not go back to Obama.
correction: tries to laugh
Hallelujah! Praise God and pass the ammunition!
One less “outrageous, intellectually dishonest, and repeats himself like a broken record” libtard to listen to.
That was because some people (god knows why?) will say to a pollester that they will vote for Obama because they don’t want to be known as “racist” but when alone in the booth, they for for the other person. There is a name for this but the name escapes me.
For all the talk of “The One” and “The Messiah” from the right referring to the left, I have seriously never seen such a bunch of instant “hero” worship and cult of personality surrounding anyone as I have Palin on here. You all should really go back and read some of your comments from the thread during her speech.
It was like watching a bunch of people at a pentecostal service rolling on the floor and speaking in tongues.
And, just like any other cult, you all have allowed yourselves to become so perverted by your ecstasy that you either delude yourselves into buying any sort of crap fed to you or purposefully lie in order to further your “cause.”
ICH BIN EIN PALINER!!!
GO PALIN, I WORSHIP YOU!
We Conservatives now have our own hero. We CAN win.
The people who were offended don’t deserve to be paid attention to.
And, really, you are worried about offended people? There’s a commenter here who goes by “Sambo.” Should Michelle apologize to every black person every time he leaves a comment because people could be offended?
Actually, yes she should. The difference being that “sambo” is an actual ethnic slur and that “lipstick on a pig” a common non-derogatory phrase.
Yeah chap, a lot of us were rooting for Gov. Palin to be the pick months ago, sorry for our enthusiam at OUR Convention. Go read your fellow KosIte friends comments… lol, what a joke.
It’ll be interesting to see if she’ll get the same treatment here that McCain received once we find out she supports his amnesty plan.
Chapoutier:
It isn’t “cult of personality” with Palin because she has actual accomplishments and represents ordinary Americans and our values, unlike your Obamessiah, The Empty Suit. It’s actually becoming painful to listen to the guy stammering without a teleprompter. He makes George Bush sound like Cicero.
Do you want to do a round of Palin Accomplishments v. Obama ones? Wanna go there?
Obama gave Hillary Clinton the one-fingered salute in a frat boy manner. It is how he operates.

Lipstick on a Pig

McCain’s Selection of Palin is Lipstick on a Pig over at http://www.democrats.org
Republicans offer more of the same. Palin is a red herring, lipstick on the Republican pig to distract Americans
Bob Beckel made a remark about Sarah Palin being a pig on Fox News the other day.
Beckel says, “I thought she said the difference in her speech, the difference between a socc- or a hockey mom and a Rottweiler was—or maybe it was a pig—was lipstick, right?”
Rep. Russ Carnahan also took a swipe at Palin.
“For all his tough talk [McCain] buckled to the right wing of his party in his choice. Picked someone with zero experience in national government, zero experience in foreign affairs. There’s no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick,” he said.
Gee, I wonder who Carnahan is talking about here? Could it be Sarah Palin?
“What’s the difference between a Hockey Mom and a Pitbull? LIPSTICK!”. Well, are we supposed to believe that Obama and Carnahan aren’t aware of the analogy?
All of this is just a coincidence?
Bob Beckel uses the same line as Obama, but of course Obama wasn’t directing it at Palin!
No frat boys in the White House!
Which is why he stands a good chance of losing this election.
I personally would not want to compare myself to the Kossites, but whatever floats your boat aj.
That would be a welcome change from the lying, disingenuous crap that is the subject of this thread.
You forgot to include (TM) after your unlicensed use of the word “lipstick” (TM). Make sure it doesn’t happen again, chap — I’d hate to have to send you a cease and desist letter (but I will. I will).
Link?
Typical elitist Obama statement…. those stupid people clinging to their offended sensibilities…
The flood of tears from the Dems in November will float my boat just fine thank you very much.

Fine I am elitist. I am happy to call anyone here that i) believes Obama was calling Palin a pig and ii) at the same time does not believe that McCain was calling Clinton the same thing stupid.
Stupid.
Stupid.
Stupid.
Or simply lying to score political points.
Which are you, Rob?
It appears our definition of ‘zinger’ varies slightly.
I wish I could say the same for ‘fools’, ‘liar’, or ‘moron’.
Oh, and what about the ‘I’m taking my ball & going home’ schtick? You posted, what?, 3 times after saying you were leaving.
And that’s why he’s losing ground in the polls. Writing off people the way he did is not a good campaign strategy.
The Bradley Effect.
On the nose. It’s bizarre. Like watching a Shaker convention.
Geez, Rob. Aren’t conservatives usually the ones decrying political correctness and how easily people are annoyed? Remember when we all had a good laugh over that moron who said the term “black hole” was racist.
This is no different.
Wight, I’m calling em as I see them. The people I called liars were lying. And if you’re offended by the phrase “lipstick on a pig,” then you’re a fool and a moron and a sheep who is only offended when told to by by Michelle.
LOL, I love seeing the moonbats squirm….

Um…did you miss the 2000 and 2004 elections? Because it’s a little late for that call-to-arms.
You see? That’s where you lot are wrong about the posters in here.
I’ll type slowly.
We’re not offended by the statement.
We are offended by the distortion, misrepresentations & outright lies by those who made the statement(s) and still want us to vote for them come November.
I for one, am really enjoying watching them shooting themselves in the foot.
Matt Drudge today: “AS THE PRESS TURNS: OBAMA SAYS ‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’”
Hehe! I don’t think so, I think it’s just getting started, O’bamaski.
Slowly but surely the MSM is starting to feel the bias heat.
And hilarity ensues!

And just like your boy, McCain, and hell the Republican Party as a whole for the last 20 years, you are willing to propagate any lie to make it happen apparently.
Actually, I am sorry to assume you are being disingenuous here. You might be “just that stupid”. Care to clear it up?
I don’t assume Obama meant to insult Palin with the pig comments, but I QUESTION HIS JUDGEMENT MAKING THEM. He’s supposed to be such a “smart guy” but I guess he just stepped in the poo by accident.
I love the liberals here trying to make something of this after 2 striaght weeks of lies and smears from them. The word HYPOCRITE is just too weak to discribe it.
Wow – heat and light like I haven’t seen here in a ‘lil while.
Palin doesn’t own a trademark on “lipstick” (obviously), but she put it into play in the conversation. Any Obama reference to lipstick in the next few weeks was going to be seen in that frame of reference. Using it in a perjorative in any way related to McCain was political suicide. Issues, no. Traction, yes.
By the way, it is not becoming when you paint MM’s commenter’s with such a broad brush. You all are much smarter than that.

But it doesn’t matter what YOU think the Obamasiah meant with his use of the “p–” word. It matters what we conservatives can convince the undecided voters he meant..
Yes. Yes. It can’t be said any better than that.
BTW, sorry to all about the typos in my last post. It’s been crazy busy, but I got sucked into this stupid issue. Sorry about any typos here too. Rusty has nailed it on the head though.
Rusty, please join me here on election night to gloat and laugh at FoxNews and Malkin worhippers, before a real alcohol filled bash offline.
I’m out for real now.
“sheep who is only offended when told to be by Michelle”
classic
Incorrect. After his “botched” pig-Palin joke Obama still kept schlumping through it, according to the AP:
“In his speech Tuesday, Obama followed up the comments by saying that Palin’s is an interesting story, drawing boos at the mention of her name and trying to cut them off.
“Look, she’s new, she hasn’t been on the scene, she’s got five kids”
Every news article I’ve read notes that the audience made the immediate connection with Palin when he delivered his hilarious botched joke. Also note in the video they start guffawing at the Dem’s “lipstick” Palin reference when he had just started the line.
Of course, you could argue that’s because Obama is even slower than his followers, but I don’t know that ya really wanna go there.
Par for your relativistic course, Rusty, but a dishonest argument. Who was self-identified with lipstick jokes in an extremely public venue, watched by record millions, just days before McCain “SAID THE EXACT SAME THING”?
The bottom line: Obama stepped in it in a major way. Americans didn’t like it, and it’ll cost him even more votes. If he were to honestly and humbly apologize it might help slow his dropping poll numbers , but he really took careful aim and opened both barrels at his toes with this one.
Exactly, and you are willing to lie and obfuscate and engage in blatant double standards to do so. I am sure your momma would be proud.
To defeat the false prophet, the black hole, the Dope with Hope, we will do what it takes.
I give you credit for at least admitting to being scum Rob.
Right on target, guitarplayer.
But Obama, while not deliberately insulting Palin (unlike flipping the bird to Hillary) surely knew there’d be an association drawn between Sarah Palin’s lipstick remark and his. THEN he follows it up with the “old fish” line.
He’s either incredibly naive (disqualifying him) or just plain dumb (disqualifying him). Either way, he’s screwed.
The only person who really knows what he meant is Obama. The only problem with that is that half of the time he doesn’t even know what he meant. (How many times have we heard “what I really meant was….”)? What I also find unusual is that O’Reilly spent most of his show this morning saying Obama was not referring to Palin. I find this unusual because his normal retort would be that he does not know what he meant because he can’t get inside of his head. Funny he managed to get inside of his head this time.

Too bad for Obama people vote regardless of whether he pays attention to them. So much for Mr. Purple States of America.
We’ve put down a door stop so it won’t hit you where the Good Lord split you. Why are you still here????
I’m not offended at all, more like thrilled that Obama is the “gaffe that keeps on gaffing”. He thought he could get away with a too-cute-by-half cheap shot but got called on the carpet for it instead. As they say, “ya makes yer bets and ya takes yer chances”. In this case Obama just bet wrong.
But on the positive side you should be very relieved that he hasn’t let loose with a “Dean Scream”. Yet.

I stopped watching Bill O. He seems to have lost his way and just says foolish things now.
Why republitards want to keep defending Obama is beyond me.
Just posted on Drudge. This race is going to be over in a week, if the Dems don’t shut up.

Did Barack Obama put lipstick on William Ayers?
In other news:
I’m reminded of a quote from John Adams in the musical 1776, when they were debating the Declaration of Independence. “This is a REVOLUTION dammit!! We’re gonna have to offend somebody!!”
FauxBama was speaking to his supporters. He used a phrase that his supporters would agree with. Obviously, the other side takes offense. It happens constantly, by both sides. Was it intentional? I’d have to think it depends on which side you’re coming at it from. I just don’t think it’s worth all the energy being expended on it.
Seriously, what the hell good is free speech if you can’t offend anyone?
They’re likening McCain to a pig, not Palin. Not that that makes it any less offensive.

From Texas Darlin’s comments:
It just gives us a chance to feel involved in a race where the candidates don’t really give a crap about us at all…
O.K. How does this sound. Maybe, just maybe, Obama did not mean that to be directed at Palin. It does appear that his audience interpreted it to be directed at Palin.
Obama’s a hypocrite, and you know it.
Once he won the Iowa caucuses, he’s been priming the nation to believe that if he got seriously challenged, it would be due to racism. Remember that part of his stump speech in which he says “They want to scare you about Barack…” At first, he said his opponents would say, “Did I mention he’s black?” Then he modified the line, saying “He’s not like the Presidents on those dollar bills.”
Think that wasn’t about race? You don’t have to believe me, but you do have to believe Obama’s campaign director.
Rusty, MistressJustice, all you guys know it’s true: If Palin had said in her RNCC speech “Let’s call a spade a spade,” there’s no way you would have perceived it as innocent. In fact, you would have gone (ahem) hog wild.
BTW – where were you guys when Obama’s camp stood idly by while TPM, Bill Press, Bob Herbert and Keith Olbermann accused the McCain camp of trying to activate latent racism with subliminal images suggesting Obama was going to bonk all their daughters?
If anybody didn’t call him on this then the next sppech would have been..”You can put lipstick, glasses and a pearl necklace on a pig but …..ect”
Obama likes to get his digs in with plausible deniability.
Hey it could have been a mistake? Right!

There was no misunderstanding, he did it on purpose trying to score points with the Obamatrons. He acted childishly and foolishly. I’ll guarantee he adlibed that line too because if his speech writer had put it in the writer would have been fired. You don’t give your opponent an opportunity like this.
Face it, Obama just lost the election. The only hope the leftists have now is that Hillary’s PUMAs can get that restraining order they’ve petitioned for enacted and get the DNC to yank him off the ballot.

Rusty since you posted that you aren’t going to post anymore until after the election, how about not coming back and take MJ, and LGM with you.
That would only improve the quality of this site….hehehe!
Keep drinking the kool aid Rusty, it warms my heart to see a libby get so upset he would register on a journalist’s blog just to vent there own ineptitude. Michelle and Fox actually care about accuracy and integrity in what they write, show, and and say. Why don’t you go back to your tingley leg heros at pmsnbc and hate America with all your other nut jobs. I have been reading Michelle for years because she is good at what she does, and she always has been. Election time or not. Your comments show you to be a fraud if you think Michelle has changed for election politics. Get a clue and stop droppin glue bud.
It’s seldom I ever agree with Rusty, but I said the same thing earlier (you must not have seen it Rusty, I even referred to the ridiculous “black hole” racist nonsense). I hate the thin skinned PC crowd. And that is what I feel like this is all about.The whole thig is silly.
Wow, so many trolls here today!
The liberals’ ship is sinking quickly, and now watch as the rats scurry off it. Perhaps affirmative action wasn’t the best method of choosing a presidential candidate. *smirk*
Sarah Palin is pro-choice… She chose life each time!
GOP: Raising babies and Killing Taxes!
DEMS: Well, you get it.
I do not think it is thin skinned. I believe people are getting tired of the double standard.
Had Palin said something that could have been a sexist or racist jab to Obama then the left and the media would be nuts.
Rusty said:
Rusty…if you watched the video at all you saw the reaction to the crowd as Obama says the first part of the line, that they CLEARLY are reacting to it as if it is a jab at Palin. Whether you agree or not whether it was intentional, the crowd obviously takes it that way. As has a huge portion of the viewing public. Your anger about this is reflective of the Democrats anger at the fact that they are getting decimated in the polls, and are flailing like crazy at Palin to try an make anything stick.
The more they flail, the more desperate they get. Even the AP said the connection was clear before the Obama camp got ahold of them and made tehm change the story.
From Nedral Pickler AP stringer:
“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said to an outbreak of laughter, shouts and raucous applause from his audience, clearly drawing a connection to Palin’s joke even if it’s not what Obama meant. “It’s still a pig.”
Now it is strangly absent from all AP stories now
And Rusty….please…leave already.
Hey, you don’t have to convince me of that. The double standard is outrageous (hence why I sooo oppose AA and the constant race baiters out there). I am really really really tired of the PC garbage that says nobody can be offended. Especially when it takes a complete suspension of reality to see the offense.
This will probably come as a surprise to all of you, but the world is actually round and the tooth fairy is imaginary.
Here a question: how come people who graduated from college and higher, love Obama and people who cook moonshine love Palin?
