Good points, all - and yes, Hussein may be all those things, but I have to believe that given Sarah used the “lipstick” comment in a laugh line during the single most-watched political convention speech in tv history - and given the lipstick line was subsequently picked up and played as a video clip over and over and over- and given that supporters have been carrying signs to McCain/Palin events since then with things like “Read My Lipstick!” and “Lipstick Hockey Moms For Palin,” that Obama KNEW exactly what he was saying and who he was insulting with the “Pig” metaphor. So did his audience, who began cackling and howling before he even finished the phrase. And his campaign honestly expects people to think it was COINCIDENCE? To borrow one of Obama’s own quotes....”They must think you’re STUPID.” Indeed.
Good points. Thank you. I wish I had added that to my original article!
