Former Massachusetts Gov. says "Obama called Palin a pig.": A Piggish Debate

Former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift tonight flatly stated that Obama had called Palin a pig.

"[T]he formation of the Palin Truth Squad couldn't have happened too soon, as we saw when Sen. Obama in Lebanon, Va., this evening uttered what I can only deem to be disgraceful comments comparing our vice presidential nominee Gov. Palin to a pig," Swift said.

"Sen. Obama owes Gov. Palin an apology," she said.

Asked why she was so confident Obama was "comparing" Palin to a pig, she said Palin was the only one of the four candidates on both parties' tickets who wears lipstick.

"She is the only one of the four candidates for president, or the only vice presidential candidate who wears lipstick," Swift said. "I mean, it seemed to me a very gendered comment."

But, Swift added, if "as part of his apology Sen. Obama wants to say, no, he was calling Sen. McCain -- who is a true hero in our country -- a pig, then I suppose we could wait en masse for an apology to that, as well."

this is starting to sound silly to me --- but it seems to be putting O'bama on the ropes....then I remember the awful lies that have been said about the Palin family and I conclude: It is the crazy left that has placed O'bama as the Democrat nominee....and now it is the looney left that is going to sabotage O'bama's chance to win the White House. O'bama might not deserve this .... but his extreemist left wing radical liberals sure do.....

[hope]

Well, muslims also refer to Christians and Jews as pigs. So I guess bambi thought he was hitting back with his best shot.

[kempster]

Don ‘t be surprised if Obama is wearing lipstick tomorrow so he doesn’t have to apologize.

[icwhatudo]

Guy on CNN said this entire thing is stupid and a waste of time. The next segment was about McCain playing the song Barracuda again after Heart said not to.

ROTFLMAO

p.s. McCain purchased the rights to play Barracuda, but tis was not mentioned by CNN

[afortiori]

Howie Carr is no fan of Jane Swift. In fact, I would expect him to hear him say Swift took offense to the remark on behalf of the porcine. Stay tuned.

[teletech]

This candidate, Obama, should be so easy to put on the ropes, I'm surprised it took this long to happen.

[Diogenesis]

Good for her.
There is at least one ex-GOP Gov. of Mass who openly and loudly supports Gov. Palin.

[goodolemr]

Funny, they’ve been waiting for Palin to slip up, instead it is the anointed one.

The news the last couple days has been AMAZING!!!!

[I see my hands]

You can take Obama out of the madrassa but he's still an anti American pig.

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

Any women out there who are still undecided and think of voting for this genius, he just called a woman a pig....Is this the level of debate he has sunk to?

[4rcane]

this is a racist slur. Obama is a racist

“WORDS MEAN SOMETHING” - Barack Obama, September 6, 2008

Unless the words in question come from Obama's pastor for 20 years. Then, they are only words. So, with this type of duplicity, Obama has nothing to fear from what comes out of his mouth, ever.

[river rat]

ANYTHING - regardless of how mundane or stretched that keeps Obama off balance should be thrown at him with a vengeance...

Let him experience what his homies are throwing at Mrs. Palin.

Folks duck, even when blanks are fired at them....

Keep Obama off balance, off his talking points, off his teleprompter, free wheeling — and he will CONTINUE to say or do dumb things....

If he can’t handle the heat — screw him!
We owe him NOTHING, he is entitled to no quarter.

Isn't that the truth -- wish she had spoken at the Convention instead of the other former MA Governor who could barely get out the words he supported McCain.
