For the most part the media missed this. I actually think this joke is the most damaging in the campaign so far.

Your thoughts?

Many overlooked this joke by Barack Obama, but I think it was more damaging than the “pig” comment. He was sarcastic, arrogant, condescending, pretentious, all with a mocking half smile, you just don’t make fun of hunters and the sport of hunting in America:

He told supporters in Flint, Michigan that Palin has an interesting biography — “Mother, governor, moose shooter. That’s cool” —

Many have been saying that Obama and his campaign are arrogant, elitist, and full of pretensions. I believe it after watching many of the pseudo John Stewart/Eddie Murphy routines that Obama has been engaged in on the campaign trail. In the world of Obama and his campaign, hunting is something to mock, they just don’t understand the heartland of America, and that is why they are going to lose.

Agree about Obama and humor. Rush’s rim shots have been devastating to Obama’s attempts at joke making. When a public speaker as successful as Rush says Obama’s timing is hopelessly bad, I believe it.

Minnesota is in the same boat....Lots of hunters here who vote Democrat.

But don’t even try to take away their 30-06’s or their bows. Hunting here is a religion and many here appreciate the savings it gives to the food budget.

Also consider the Bradley effect, a big city buffoon (Obama) who hates having soiled hands or stepping out of his Limo without a carpet to walk on, who would love to confiscate all guns, muzzle loaders, bows and declare hunting unnecessary as well as a felony.

Imagine the impact and also understand why there are record numbers of people who are now involved, who will vote for the first time and are now paying close attention to the details.

That Moose shooter Sarah Palin looks like the queen of England in their eyes, regardless of the party she belongs to.

This weminded me of when Kewwy went hunting that wascally game. He weally, weally made a fool of himsewf.

The first time I saw Obama and Michelle was on Opra. Let's say it this way. Michelle NEEDED Opra to promote her as well as the empty suit. Obama and Michelle MUST rely on visual images because THERE IS NOTHING ELSE.

Cindy is her own woman...and she's modest. The info is out there. What a remarkable woman...and her father was a self-made man. Imagine that!! She has done right by her father in every way.

What’s damaging is his obsession with John McCain’s running mate; Moose shooter? Why even mention this? ...snip

Exactly why he has decided to ignore Sarah Palin (leave it to the MSM) and concentrate and strengthen his attacks on John McCain.

No photo of Obama not in a political mode comes across as real.

I've got a funny feeling the Obama campaign, in yet another fit of desperation, will have an "Obama the hunter" photo op. His campaign has pulled every other dumb stunt, why not go for the trifecta.

I can almost see the campaign thinking... "Barak, you need to connect with the rural voters in PA. How about a duck hunt? I've got an L.L.Bean catalog right here. Isn't this classic field jacket divine!?"

“It is a dig that is open to interpretation. His followers get it”.

You said it well. I’m now much more aware.

[Mikey_1962]

Obama is not say “old” fish, he said “stinky” fish. There’s a difference. It makes your point even more clear.

No he said "you can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper, call it change, you know, its still going to stink."

Palin: Lipstick on a pig McCain: an old fish

Ironically, McCain might be the only one without a license.

Sounds like something the Obozo camp might say...

"You know Sarah Palin, John McCains VP running mate, and her husband both have pilots licenses. John McCain's wife Cindy has a pilots license. But John McCain doesn't. How can John McCain lead a country, if he can't even lead his ticket by example?"

OR

"Cindy McCain, she pilots planes for John McCain. She does his E-mail, combs his hair, ties his shoes. Who's really going to be running this country if he's president?"

Man my head hurts just thinking the way libtards do. I feel all scumy now. I need to take a shower.

It has made me realize what Cindy McCain must do, on a daily basis, just to live with, and support her husband.

How many people, if money were no object, would do something like learning to fly a plane, for their spouse?

I can only imagine what its like for John, being a former fighter pilot, and not being able to fly a plane on his own.

What must it be like for him, to know, that his wife took the lessons to get her license, so that they could fly together? Just the two of them.

That says an awful lot about the character of the woman, behind John McCain.

We're sorry! The page does not exist.

As an avid outdoorsman in a southern state, if anyone asked me if I was a ‘deer shooter’, I would easily conclude that this person was incredibly out of touch with the common man. It is called hunting, not shooting. In Obama’s world, it would be like saying, “Are you a basketball shooter?” Both statements are awkward, to say the least.

During last hunting season, my son and I took only one deer, enough venison for my family. I let many deer go by. My hunt was for peace and quiet, that is why I cling to my guns and religion....(wink)

"Ooohhh, and this Perazzi shotgun is just FAHABoulus. Look at all the fancy engraving and gold inlay. You'll really WOW them in the woods with that. Oh, this will make a real special photo op.

[Toki]

Wow.. I had never considered all that before. I never really knew about Cindy McCain other than tidbits (I Love that she races though). It’s just one more argument for him. (Like the saying behind every man is a good woman... or something like that).Thanks for putting it in perceptive.

[Wilhelm Tell]

Moose shooter. Heh. Sounds like something out of an old, badly-translated Japanese instruction manual.

Moose shooter is to keeping finger off trigger piece, until safely align sights on animal game, then to press trigger piece for moose shoot.

LOL! I see that you are master of Engrish language.

[mimaw]

What I want to know?they hiding it because he was an affirmative action entry at Harvard? What was his course study? Was he a member of some radical group at Columbia? We all know he’s hiding something. I think the folks out in flyover country would like to have these facts to chew over.

[mimaw]

I want to know why they are hiding his transcript from Columbia?

[goldfinch]

I think we should have bumper stickers made that say: Mother, Governor, Mooseshooter, Vice President.

[mountn man]

I, myself, never put it into perspective until this thread.

You can bet the MSM won't put it into perspective either.

Something else about Cindy. Her dad was a self made MULTI millionaire. She goes to school to become a special needs school teacher. She worked at Aqua Fria HS with children with Down Syndrome. (Not quite the Paris Hilton model of MULTI Millionaire heiress)

She also founded an ran American Voluntary Medical Team, a non profit charity, that sends medical volunteers to poor nations, giving people medical care they desperately need, but can't get, much less afford.

While on one trip to Bangledesh, she met a baby with severe medical needs that her team couldn't care for. Without proper care, that baby would die. She called John up and told him she was having another child. When John met her at the airport, she had two children. John and Cindy adopted 1 (daughter Bridget), and McCain aid Wes Gullet adopted the second (Nikki). Gullet says that his daughter also needed medical care, and that he never once saw a medical bill, that John and Cindy paid everything.

Its one thing to do a mission trip, for a week or two or three, to help people. Its a whole other thing, to adopt a child with severe health issues, and make that child, with her health problems, YOUR child and her problems YOUR problems.

Here's a woman who could have done exactly what Paris Hilton has done. Who could consume her life with parties and fund raisers and social hobnobbing. And though I'm sure that does happen, she also has gone down deep, and done things beyond herself.

Compare that to Michelle Obama.

Cindy McCain, for all the priveledge she has, views life as "what can I do for others?".

Michelle Obama for all her priveledge is only NOW proud of the United States BECAUSE her husband is running for president.

[Scythian]

Why does obama’s wife keep her mouth closed tight like that? It’s like a person who has really bad teeth afraid to smile? Or maybe she doesn’t want to admit America’s great by smiling?

[mountn man]

She really does have a pretty smile.

But she spends most of her time looking like this.

Whats up with the eye brows?
