Obama isn’t calling Sarah Palin a pig. He’s calling McCain a pig. Sarah Palin is the LIPSTICK on the pig. Or at least that’s the way I see it. — Marc Perkel
I personally think it was a Freudian slip, followed by another gaffe, Obama’s alluding to stinky fish — another anti-female not so subtle insult. — John C. Dvorak
Hmmm – I thought the old fish was also aimed at McCain as an anti-old insult. But I see your point. — Marc Perkel
#30 – Or maybe not,
Wow!! You’re right. He made an analogy without calling anyone a pig or calling anyone lipstick on a pig. His analogy was about calling the same thing change, it’s still the same thing. Put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a pig. It’s just an analogy regarding change, nothing at all about McCain or Palin.
What a load of pig shit!!
But, I’ll say it. Any attempt to call McCain or Palin any form of pig is an insult to the pig. McCain and Palin are despicable, right wing, extremist humans. No other animal could be so despicable.
Did I mention that I’m a misanthrope? Oh yeah. It’s in my blog alias.
You guys are missing the whole point.
The GOP WANTS a gender bias pissing contest with the democrats.
It’s a great way to deflect scrutiny on Palin’s (lack of) capabilities and puts the Dems on the defensive.
It’s a classic Red Herring.
Re: “Lipstick on a Pig” – shows you how DUMB THE REPUKES are !!! They apparently don’t know the difference between Palin’s “Pit Bull” and Obama’s (and many others – including McCain’s) “Pig” !!! Seems Repukes don’t know their A$$ form their ELBOW !!! With such LIMITED ANALYTICAL ABILIITY, you have to ask : Are they FIT TO LEAD ??? NO WAY !!!
Ummmm, are there any real issues in this campaign? And if there are issues, why are the campaigns spending $100 millions on this crap?
Stupid questions….never mind…..
The GOP are a bunch of hypocritical lying sacks of shit. McCain used the same terminology in the same manner about a policy created by a female (Clinton). this false outrage is typical wedge politics.
The GOP plan: say nothing intelligent, go for the visceral knee-jerk.
Sure this phony issue and the “Obama is teaching sex education to your 5 year old” are flat out lies. But what else is McCain going to run on? His policy positions? Show me WHERE they differ from Bush. Go on…details. How is his Iraq policy different from Bush? His position on Israel and the West Bank? His position on economic issues? What? Waiting…
Just calling yourself a Maverick(tm) doesn’t make it true…especially if you’re identical to the guy you’re replacing.
When will they start talking about issues and how to solve them?
Obama isn’t calling ANYONE a pig or lipstick. He’s saying that while McCain says his policies will bring change (the lipstick), it’s just more of the same and doesn’t work (still a pig).

“When will they start talking about issues and how to solve them?”
NEVER!!!! YOU CAN”T MAKE US!!!!!! LOL 🙂
The Dems are simply stupid. The harder and louder they try to destroy Palin, the MORE support and MAJOR $$$ will flow to McPalin. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, DOLTS!
#40 – Sinn Fein
You must have been inhaling too much explosive dust if you really believe that nonsense.
#40 – sinn fein
It’s interesting that you use the name Sinn Fein, which is the political arm of the former active terrorist organization IRA. Sinn Fein and IRA had the same loving relationship as the Republican Party has with the gun totting right-wing fanatics.

Hehe… issues are boring… 😉 what, Britney is back? Which channel is she on?
So much bandwidth dedicated to so little substance. Good night everybody.
You know those dolls made out of men’s socks? That’s what Barama reminds ME of. That or Curious George. With ears sticking out. No lipstick, just big lips. Big floppy lips.

>> Classless politics from a classless party. You won’t hear McCain use that kind of childish rhetoric.
He, He. That’s a set-up,right?
Surely you heard McCane use THAT EXACT PHRASE about Hillary Clinton.
Here’s the video of it

How about that McCain. In a direct sexist slur to Hillary, he gets away with it, and when Obama calls his behavior piggy and unredemable, it suddenly becomes a slur against nobody in the subject line of his comment.
These Republicans are damn good at taking information and drawing conclusions 90 degrees from the truth.
Remember Iraq? It has killed about a hundred times as many people as died in 9/11.
Hey, Barry, how ’bout some nice juicy wallamelon?
Here’s a funny little piece recommending that Obama apologize for the pig remark and suggesting some cards that may help.
The “Lipstick on a Pig” line is practically PRE-HISTORIC !!! John McCain was there when it was first used !!!
#18, Matt,
Classless politics from a classless party. You won’t hear McCain use that kind of childish rhetoric.
“Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” anyone? Now that is childish. Oopps, nope, it is a senior moment.
#52 ““Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” anyone? Now that is childish. Oopps, nope, it is a senior moment.”
How about “Bomb, bomb, bomb Pakistan” anyone? Now, that is stupid. Oops, nope, it is an inexperience moment.
#53, Cow-Paddy,
So why is McCain in favor of bombing Pakistan?
#54, Hill,
Palin, the Republican dream.
#55 “So why is McCain in favor of bombing Pakistan?”
He decided Omama had a good idea after all.
This whole argument is as phony as a Gucci bag made out of a sow’s ear.
Our economy is about to collapse, we may have just started another war with Pakistan, Afghanistan is going to hell, and the Russians are walking all over us. And this is all we have to talk about?
We are doomed by our own foolishness, and there is no way to put lipstick on that pig.
#53, Paddy,
How about “Bomb, bomb, bomb Pakistan” anyone? Now, that is stupid. Oops, nope, it is an inexperience moment.
So after 7 ½ years in office, Bush is still inexperienced enough that he would go bomb Pakistan? Do you ever stop to read what you wrote before you hit SUBMIT?
