Mitchell Laughs Off the Lipstick: 'He's Not Talking About Palin'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/10/2008 4:55:09 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

An Obama campaign spokeswoman opened today's Morning Joe with an aggressive defense of his lipstick line, arguing that Obama was being criticized "for saying something that John McCain has said before, that Barack Obama frequently says about 'you can dress something up.' He was talking about the Republican change argument."

A bit later, bolstering her argument, the spokeswoman described the conference call the McCain campaign arranged to respond to Obama's line. She pointed out that all the reporters asking questions on the call were women, and that all of them asked McCain representative Jane Swift "are you serious?" in alleging that Obama was alluding to Palin.

Concluded the Obama spokeswoman: "If you read the quotation in context, he's not talking about Sarah Palin." Oh, wait. That wasn't an Obama spokeswoman. It was Andrea Mitchell, sitting in for Mika Brzezinski.

These three YouTubes show a nasty little trick that Barack Obama incorporated into his stump speech back when he was getting hammered in the Democrat Debates. He did this time after time, and denied it afterwards.

Obama Gives Hillary The Finger

Obama Gives Hillary Clinton "The Finger"?

Obama gives Hillary the finger!

These are three different clips of three different speeches. This was his standard stump speech. Still he denied it. The reporters following his campaign saw him do this over and over again, and they accepted his denial.

Now he denies this. But note the hooting and hollering from the crowd after the "lipstick on a pig" remark. They know full well what Obama was talking about, and so do we.

If Mitchell wants to deny that this guy has a problem with disrespecting women, she is denying the obvious. She is spending the last shred of her credibility to defend a misogynist.

I’m seriously concern about you well-being, Mark...having to watch this crapola day after day. It’s gotta take a toll. We need a freepathon to send you on a well deserved vacation Nov. 5th.

I have loved watching Mitchell since Palin’s speech last week. Since then she has the look of someone who was just told they have three month to live

This is not the first time. Obama has a pattern of being sexist.

A black man making a subtle reference to a white woman being a pig?

This is not going to play well with some old Democrat Klan members.

Sheesh, Mitchell is working harder for the Obama camp than Obama’s own people. Why doesn’t MSNBC have to register as a 527 group?

I think we see team0bama in action. 0bama makes his snide little dig and his juvenile based have their little laugh. Then his campaign issues his talking points to his propaganda mouthpieces to spin it out of context. The msm is so disgusting in how they are just tools for him. Especially the female reporters. They remind me of battered women; they get beat up and then go back to their man because “he loves me.” They have no dignity or self-respect. They need help in an 0bama-battered victims shelter.

LOL: thanks TS. So far, I’m getting by fine with a daily Prilosec. But hey, if people wanted to kick in to send me, say, on a golfing vacation to Australia, I wouldn’t say no ;-)

Don’t Muslims consider being called a pig the most offensive insult?

What a hoot! The MSM has interpreted many McCain comments as meaning racism.
