Folks... Obama did not make a boo boo or gaffe. This was deliberate and coordinated.

Shrum lost all 7 (8??) of the Presidential campaigns that he managed.

In this editorial above, he hints as to why he keeps losing.

Let’s all show up at Obama rallies with lipstick. Men and women both.

It’ll be my first time wearing lipstick, but then Obama deserves to be shamed for the clod he is.

Put this guy in charge of foreign affairs?

This guy says he has “judgment”?

Yes!! This piece proves the "lipstick" attacks we are hearing are 100% coordinated, and Obama 100% was calling Palin a pig. And I'm pissed.

Bob Shrum has a worse batting average than Ralph Nader.

The lipstick remark was bad enough but ‘stinky fish’ is one hundred times worse. It’s so bad that decent people can’t even acknowledge that Obama said it. Women heard it though. And they’re remember that he said it.

Yes, but the point of posting this article was to show the term “lipstick” being used against Palin by Dems for a couple of days now, and therefore it makes Obama’s statement tonight intentional and not just, “Oh that’s an old saying, and he wasn’t talking about Sarah Palin”, a bunch a bs.

Yep, the RAT talking points are coming in from all directions.

Shrum is that loud-mouthed asshat who was dictating the Welstone Memorally Speech that Moron from Iowa babbled, out loud on the Amtrak Acela. He is a multi-time loser.

Obama’s ego can’t stand it that Sarah has become more revelant than he is.

McCain is a leader cause he can.

And Michelle... who the heck is Michelle?

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13315.html

“Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on Tuesday – introducing Joe Biden at a campaign event – ripped into Palin’s record and punctuated it with this snarky jab. “There’s no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick,” he said. Later in the day, Obama used a variation of the lipstick line, though he was clearly talking about the McCain-Palin reform rhetoric. “You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “It’s still a pig.””

It isn’t a mistake. “Lipstick” is a planned meme.

Probably invented either by sexist knee-jerkism, or non-lipstick wearing women in the Obama camp who think this appeals to men they think are sexist.

And they think this tactic will help them

What dumb asses

They already have the wacko left wing vote and they are the only ones that this will resonate with

I smell a trap. I hope the McCain team doesn’t make anything of this. I see they are already demanding an apology but I think that is weak. The McCain team doesn’t have to do a darn thing about this. The media & voters will ream Obama by themselves.

How does Bob Shrum survive?

He has NEVER backed a winning candidate, NEVER run a winning campaign; his reputation rests on the backs of losers!

I posted this on a couple of related threads—
Monday morning on Fox News 2 RAT operatives, Bob Beckel and Julian Epstein both used the phrase “ pig in lipstick” in their attacks. There is absolutely NO DOUBT this is a coordinated planned attack by the Obama campaign—
I hope the backlash is overwhelming.
