Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)
Politico ^ | Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | Ben Smith

Posted on 09/09/2008 3:36:33 PM PDT by kristinn

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."

I bet there was alot of snickering going on with the fish line...(I'm getting madder thinking of it). 'Yeah, its cool...we'll (laughter) say McCain (snort) is an old fish...yeah, they'll (doubling over) buy it.' JACKA$$ES!!!

Actually, I am waiting to hear Camille Paglia's take on the negative commentary. Camille, I think, would be offended.

Obama - Nickels and dimes but no common “cents,” of course.

On Fox News Monday morning two RAT operatives- Bob Beckel and Julien Epstein used the phrase “ pig in lipstick” in discussion about Sarah.
A thread was posted on our outrage-—

A few of us noted the “ pig in lipstick “line of attack-—

This is CLEARLY a coordinated attack—absolutely no doubt about it.

Thanks for the link. As my new tagline says, I have saved the vid. Just add .flv to the file before or after it is saved and download a free FLV File Player and you are in business.

No matter how you slice it or dice it, this is the soul of BO and his supporters. They seek to dehumanize anything in their way — whether it’s a Christian mom or a newborn babe.

How long are Sarah’s coat-tails? Will this let us control the Senate and maybe the House? Keep mouthing off Osamba.

"I bet there was alot of snickering going on with the fish line...(I'm getting madder thinking of it)."

That is why I made the graphic in my post 745. I have it on my homepage on one of my servers. Feel free to use it.

I would love to see Obama say this to her husband...

Absolutely!

Put this in a different situation. You're sitting at your favorite neighborhood watering hole, enjoying a couple of cold beers when in walks this overconfident jackass (just a regular jackass, without the protection of his gang or the SS). He's got an attitude before he even sits on a bar stool. You think to yourself, "please don't let him sit by me". But, guess where he sits - yep - right next to you.

And he decides to strike up a conversation. In his conversation, which is quite dry and boring in general, he starts making comments about the barmaid. She's not your girlfriend, but she's a great person and a good friend of yours. Anyway, you try to tell him this, but he carries on, getting more caustic as the night goes on (and as the drinks go down). Finally, he stoops to the level of calling her a pig, and claiming that she stinks like a dead fish.

Is that not grounds, in that situation, for a general butt-whupping? What good friend would not rise up to such an idiot and put him in his place using whatever force necessary?

Barry is hoping for such a response from McCain - and he won't get it. McCain knows that he's being called out, but he knows better than to do it. Sarah, on the other hand, can respond in kind and probably will. She won't go head-on, but will use an angled approach that will pit Obambi's own words against himself. She won't be the agressor, but will be the informer.

They're giving Barry some rope, and he's fashioning it to his own disadvantage.

"Were he campaigning in Canada (well, it could happen), he'd have gotten beaten up very badly after a comment like that. Lots of Hockey Moms in the great White North."

ummmm.....some Canadian "moms" like Heather Mallick of CBCnews.ca have a "little" different take on your comment.

This was an actual thread earlier on FR. I was TOTALLY STUNNED. If any Freepers missed it earlier, take a look.

The libs really are "JUMPING THE PIG".

AND keep mouthing off Mike. I'd say he can pretty much forget a Cabinet post after this display of loyalty.

Freepers here is your chance to keep this going:

Don’t let Sarah down!

Done. Sent to all the right folks on my email list, many of whom have blogs, or are serial forum junkies. This will be the biggest topic of the day, tomorrow.

Folks ought to also post this to any liberal forums where they lurk.

Hello,

Once, while visiting NO, LA, we went into a gay bar, without knowing what we had walked into.

I was young enough to not understand those there that decided to start talking about fish. (Mind you, we figured it all out within 10 minutes, as there were other and more noticeable clues....)

Either this was to indicate that McCain is old and stinks like old fish, or it is something even worse. And I think you get my drift.
