Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Obama’s sexist streak continues

Relax, “Sweetie“, and you just might like it.  Quoth The One:

Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin’s new “change” mantra.

“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.”

“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.”

Pig?  Stinky fish?  OK, so maybe he was talking about McCain and not Palin, right?  Well, the crowd didn’t take it that way, did they?

Reporters were a bit skeptical that Obama intended to do that; from the sketchy reports we have, he seemed to be talking about how John McCain can claim to represent change but isn’t really an agent of change.  But [Mass. Gov. Jane] Swift said, “it’s pretty clear the crowd thought that that was the insult he was leveling.”  And Swift made the (hopefully) undeniable observation that Palin is the only one of the four national candidates who wears lipstick.

Maybe the Hildebeast, Ferraro, and other women were onto something with this “O as sexist” meme.

  3. Interesting idea of being civil, eh? Perhaps we are all just rubes who are too wrapped up in our guns and religion to understand the nuance.

  4. Once again, Obama forgets that he’s running against McCain and focuses his attack on Palin. Perhaps McCain remembers a thing or two from his basic tactics lectures at Annapolis – something about a “diversionary operation” perhaps? The Saracuda has become such a lightning rod for the Left’s hate and discontent that McCain could rob a bank in broad daylight and nobody would notice. Excellent….

  5. The comment was clearly a swipe at Palin and women are PISSED about this.

    Imagine if McCain had said this about the militant witch Michelle. The libs would be freaking out!

    And we’re supposed to trust the “Judgement” of Owaaahma? Judgement shouldn’t even be in this guy’s vocabulary. He has NONE.

  6. sorry jon, i tried to stay away but i just can’t quit you.

    KG – are you serious? mccain DID say the same thing when talking about hillary and her health care plan. i am sure you were just as up in arms as you are now, right?

    this is an old saying that many people use, including obama in the past. do you really need this explained to you? mccain’s policies = pig. palin = lipstick. something new to decorate him but if you look past the shiny new coat, they are still touting the same old policies, so there nothing new to see. it’s still a pig. since she has been nominated she has repeated the same speech over and over and over but hasn’t said anything new or anything about their policies.

    give me a break with all this fake outrage. it’s a lame attempt to keep the media and people focused on something besides records and issues. why doesn’t mccain stop whining about everything and start talking about actual issues instead of rehashing the same lines from their convention speeches over and over?

    ok jon, i am back to being exiled.

  7. jen, jen, jen………. How do you like Obamama’s MACACA comment now? How does it feel when the other foot gets to wear that shoe?

  8. tnjack – it doesn’t take a lot of effort to look up john mccain saying the same line about hillary (not that long ago either) on youtube. this fake outrage is ridiculous.

    nice try though.

  9. jen
    Thank you for the compliment of my nice try. But my question is still the same. How does that macaca sound coming from your guy this time?

    Comment by tnjack | September 10, 2008

  10. jen, as usual you are completely missing the point. IF Hussein had said this before Palin’s convention speech where she made the “lipstick on a pitbull” remark, it could have reasonably been construed as an old saying. However, the fact that it was made after, and the audience to whom Hussein was addressing immediately began chanting “no more pit bulls” tells you that it was, in fact, deliberatly aimed at Sarah Palin, just as the “old fish” comment was aimed at Senator McCain.
    You were so up in arms about the macaca remark, so who has the selective outrage here?

    why doesn’t mccain stop whining about everything and start talking about actual issues instead of rehashing the same lines from their convention speeches over and over?

    Are you deranged? (Yes, that was a rhetorical question). I haven’t heard McCain or Palin whining one time, but I’ve sure heard a hell of a lot of whining out of the Obomination! The guy has spent his whole life being a “victim” and it has continued right through this campaign! And if you want to talk issues, GAME ON. Your guys are on the wrong side of every issue!

    sorry jon, i tried to stay away but i just can’t quit you.

    Nice going jon, you’ve become moonbat crack. :)

  13. OMG after all this time, we find jen is a he!?!?!

    Comment by Lee | September 10, 2008

  14. “why doesn’t mccain stop whining about everything”

    Hmmm…McCain reaction to Obama calling his running mate a pig: a call for an apology from Obama for such an insensitive remark.

    Obama’s reaction: “Enough!”, “lies”, “swift boat politics”

    Ahem – who is whining? Per usual, jen is willing to defend anything and everything from her savior. You are pathetic.

  15. John McCain’s Convention Speech
    John McCain may be an older gentleman, but he can still get the crowd to cheer as if they were at a UF football game. Yet, its difficult not to. McCain has an extensive history of giving support to our nation and emanates strong patriotism. He does not separate people based on class, race, political party or gender, but rather unifies everyone by classifying everyone as Americans. Sure, he attacks his opponent (as every candidate that has ever run for any office, EVER, has done), but I find it difficult to respect Obama as McCain admits he does which is an admirable quality. He gives credit to his family, his running mate, and even his predecessors and gives examples of each of their qualities that define American lifestyle. Overall, he draws the audience into him from the very beginning and keeps them on their toes throughout.
    However, it’s not about the chants or the protestors, the issues are what really matters and John McCain can serve up a batch of change better than any other candidate. He doesn’t just plan on reforming energy sources or trivial tax cuts; this man is going to reinvent the wheel. As he put it so elegantly “…The party of Reagan and Roosevelt and Lincoln is going to get back to basics…” and I believe that the parties need a wake-up call. Here, he defines conservatism by showing that the welfare state is too large as well as the size of government involvement, which is a direct contradiction to republican values. He also uses definition to explain the state of our education system, our energy crisis, and even the wrongdoings in the military.
    As an appeal to pathos, McCain uses his Vietnam War veteran status to get the crowd even more enthralled at his leadership qualities. His examples of respect for his country and strong patriotism instilled a sense of Americanism in everyone in the audience. This tactic is important because a large demographic of voters look for a hero to run the office, and John McCain is definitely an American hero.
