Well there is no doubt that Fauxbama went for the smear, but its also clear that Fauxbama was not talking about Palin, but about “McCain being in bed with Bush” as the dems portray it when he made the comment, not Palin. However, it was a very stupid comment to make because of the fact it could be taken out of context like that.
I have enjoyed McCains campaign to date, this add though I think cheapens it a bit.
So the “lipstick” was not an attack against Sarah Palin and Hockey Moms? Give me a break.
As somebody said on another post: Pat Buchanan made the comment that it’s not what he said but what people heard. Clearly the folks at the campaign stop heard SARAH PALIN IS A PIG.
Obviously the crowd leapt up with great delight & applause over this comment. The Obama camp and their lackey press would have us believe that the crowd simply suddenly got all excited over an old saying applied to his opponents about why their "change" isn't "change?"
When you are a speaker, and you say something, even if we give the benefit of the doubt that something that was said wasn't intended in a certain manner, if you know the audience will interpret what you say as a slam, and you say it, then the intention becomes quite clear.
As Hugh Hewitt said last night, in the past two weeks, Palin "owns" "lipstick" as a brand. She has it "copyrighted." Even before Obama said this, people were showing up at her rallies with signs saying, "Read my lipstick."
