Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:
Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.
"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."
"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."
"We've had enough of the same old thing."
The crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."
God bless us one and all.
To be less glib, Sarah Palin and her family are now in a spiritual war every bit as much as a political one. This war is more important than our war on terror. It’s a war for America’s soul.
The rats sense a need to dehumanize her. No matter what BO’s intentions are, some of his followers hope to equate her with a pig — anything to destroy her.
yes... accepting the consequences for saying, but please do not disallow his freedom to do so...
as others have noted... “how dare he” etc...

And there are lots of ex-Muslims who have done that -- at which point they are no longer Muslims
What he was talking about are Muslims who only pretend to be Christians in order to better infiltrate the target society
From what I've seen of Rev Wright's "church", Jesus has never been in there.
never said that what he said was appropriate free speech...
jumping to conclusions or interpreting what he said to mean other things is not in our best interest... point it out, deem it inappropriate, hate him for his policies, not his right to voice his stupid remarks.
teeman
yes it was a slam... and shows that he is a rude and thoughtless man, my beef is with freepers saying he shouldn’t have or have been able to say it...
now he will suffer consequences and that is good...
we all have the right to offend... pc will be the death of us all...

Morning Joe just implied it is the bitter people who are going to “hear wrongly”.
Wonderful idea! AND, I have another: anybody who can get their hands on Obama stuff or pix: bumper stickers, letters requesting donations, photos, should just plant a lipstick print on it and leave it lying around. What I am suggesting is to get for yourself (don’t deface someone else’s property) something like a bumper sticker or a campaign photo or even a newspaper article about it today, plant lipstick prints all over it, and make sure it’s seen by a LOT of people!
LOLOLOL!
;)PaMom (who is still really, really bitter...but likes her Sarah Palin tagline better...)
You need a great big lipstick print on that bumper sticker, doncha think?
Confused? Sure, absolutely. To get a normal person out of HIS family history would be a miracle.
He was chosen for development as an asset by a somewhat small and really not covert group of white communists. Everybody knows Ayers, but there are others in there, too - I haven't heard of some of these people since 1969.
You'd have to know more - a LOT more - than most people do about SDS, RYM, RYM II, and the Weathermen (oops, excuse me - I mean the Weather Underground, can't be sexist!) to understand the forces that invented Obama.
They were born out of the entirely typical communist infighting that led to the disintegration of SDS in 1968-69. There was a "political" faction and a "revolutionary" faction (as always), and each faction spawned dozens of subgroups. Of the principals who survived, lots of them became "community organizers" by 1977-8, many of them well-funded by the Carter Administration.
The inner circle of the Obama movement looks like the 40th reunion of the RYM-I faction. They took a gifted by very mixed up young man and set his feet on the path that leads to today.
Also, when Obama supporters try to explain “what he really meant”. we can say, “yeah, words can be taken the wrong way. Remember what happened to Trent Lott and George Allen when they made remarks considered to be hateful?”
ArcXIX was the left wing nut who wrote one really stupid dirty smear claiming Sarah was not the mother of her child. Here is a screen shot, before the story was torn down:

More info on this thread.:
I think you’re right. BO had a radical guru even as a child. [The name slips my mind.] That man directed him to key high rollers in college.
I little update for this thread:
LA Times took Obama to task over this.
And this:
Obama Flipped off Hillary in Public at least Three Times?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2078872/posts?page=19#19
Post 19 shows three youtube links of him flipping Hillary off [although I could not confirm/landline here].
The thread of that same link is the LA Times turning on BO.
The gaffe is already backfiring. And if he did, in fact, flip off Hillary repeatedly, that not only explains a lot about him but also his supporters.
Willie Brown on Fox and Friends saying that lipstick is owned by Palin now and he has got to remember that.
I disagree. If Obama wants to put lipstick on himself, it’s a free country.
But I’m glad to see this lewd fellow taken to task.
The (un)holy month of Ramadan started on 9/2. The whole lipstick on a pig reference could be the Obambi campaign’s way of sending a message to Michigan Muslim voters. Michigan is a swing state, and the Dems are counting on the Muslim vote.
What better way to woo that coveted voting block than to call a woman a pig?/s
They are saying that it was simply an expression. But didn’t Biden also come out on Tuesday with a “lipstick” reference????? The same number of days after Palin’s speech in which she gave the most FAMOUS line of the convention. Sounds an awfully lot like they got together on this one.
They must think the American people are really stupid.
Thank you very much for your support :)
The Nazi media is spinning. This is no big deal. move on.....THis will be a non-story by tomorrow morning this they refuse to cover it. I think RUSH will place this in proper perspective today at noon. Imagine if Mccain called the Militiant Racist Socialist a “N” or even a pig ? Election over ! BTW- where the hell is the bitter one, I hate America Michelle ? Are her and her fatherless children still in the closet ?
