OBAMA's "low blow insult" to Palin calling her a PIG.
FoxNews, Shepard Smith. Brit Hume ^ | 8/09/08 | Kackikat

Posted on 09/09/2008 4:33:25 PM PDT by Kackikat

On Shepard Smith program tonight, there was a clip of Obama on campaign trail saying this:

"you take a PIG, and put lipstick on it, it's still a pig"

Smith said Obama was referring to Palin in the comments.

NOTE: Brit Hume said today that 3 democrat Senators , who Hume showed in a picture at Obama event are the ones investigating TROOPERGATE, which is OUTRAGEOUS...why are Obama supporters "heading up" that investigation, that is a conflict of interest. That too needs to be addressed.

The PUMAs were right, that guy hates women

One of the tenets of the filth calling itself islam is that women are mere chattel.

If islam and all its cultists were to vanish from the face of the earth tonight,
 we’d wake in the morning to a better world, and McCain would be running unopposed.

I’m giving Obamba the benefit of the doubt on this one. He clumsily, boringly was trying to make the ol’ putting lipstick on a pig joke. HIS audience took it as a reference to Sarah Palin. Now, if he uses it again, then there is no doubt that he’s calling Sarah a pig, because he’ll know, that’s how his audience takes it.

Actually, it is highly likely Obama was NOT suggesting Palin is a pig. I hate the supersensitivity of the left, and have no desire to emulate it on the right.

Time to grow up. He was simply suggesting the change Palin-McCain will bring (that’s the order I prefer to think about, since it will make it easier to enter the voting booth in November) is lip gloss to an ugly package of the same-old stuff. He’s wrong, but lets not distort what he said.

McCain wasn’t part of it. He targeted Palin.

Its the Wellstone Rally X20! Rush is gonna have a lot of fun with this gaffe tomorrow... Obama should watch that mouth of his which keeps getting him in big trouble. This isn't the kind of thing we want to hear from a prospective President, no matter how heated a campaign gets. There is a line one simply does not cross, period!

Obama and his surrogates will only say that his pig comment was taken out of context, and it means something other than what any particular listener might think it means. He does this consistently whenever he puts his foot in his mouth.

Obama wants people to start using racial epitaphs about him, so he can play the only card in his deck, all 52, race cards.

If Palin is a pig, Obama is a snake. Time to put lipstick on the snake, but somehow it doesn't work.

If the Republicans make a big deal about this, they'll be mocked by many, including me. That's an old, old expression, and there's nothing wrong with Obama using it. He didn't call her a pig, and I'm going to be ticked off if there's a victimhood/sexism argument made. There is nothing at all wrong with him using that phrase. She's a big girl, and she can take care of herself. The fact that she used the lipstick joke doesn't mean that a common and effective cliche can no longer be legitimately used.

That said, it is conceivable that he did something during the speech, some gesture or facial expression or timing trick, that did make the connection clear, which would be unseemly. But whining is unattractive, and I'm going to be very unhappy if I see any of it from the ticket. They've certainly dished it out - joyfully and energetically - and they can suck it up and take it...

Ask any Muslim what the highest form of an insult is and they will tell you calling someone a pig.

This is just more of Obama’s subconscious speaking out on is true feelings.

This guy better sit down and shut up and enjoy the remainder of his Senate career. His campaign is over.

So, someone ask the uh . . “Mystery Man” which color he wears. I’m guessing “Pea Green Jealous Rage”.

His snide remark about Gov. Palin’s moose hunting and some other hobby she has that outstrips his “metrosexual” hobbies; something to the effect of “that’s cool” .. “that’s cool”. - It IS cool, you jealous, jealous “Mystery Man”. Oh, and there’s the matching nail polish for the green lipstick, if you’re interested. I think it’s called “Pea Green Transparent Jealous Rage” - more sheer than the lipstick of the same name.

Now, Barack will have to borrow John Kerry’s duck hunting outfit and go in every state and into some places and ask, “Whur kin ah git me muh moose huntin license?”

Ad Hewitt is a saying, Palin has used the line (whats the diff between a hockey Mom and a bulldog? “lipstick”)
repeatedly. Lipstick is darn near a trademark for her in this election.

Either he is incredibly stupid and unworthy of the world stage by using this phrase when “lipstick” is so closely assoc with Palin.

OR he is a petty vindictive mean prick who did it intentionally and who’s campaign is in a tailspin.

Watch Obama’s body language just before he made the comment, esp. his hand to his forehead. He thought about it before spitting it out. Bad judgment, irrespective. He’s cracking under the pressure, which will only increase. He’s a wilter.
