Barack Obama Swipe at Palin "Lipstick on a Pig"

[dragonrider]

Barack Hussein Osama. I've never claimed to be a good speller, lol. Has a nice ring to it tho? IMHO, this is no different than the sociaist presidential nominee calling the Republican VP nominee a pig. But why is it that when someone adopts the same tactics as the left-wing bloggers that you liberals all hold in such high esteem, you cry "foul"? You post your propoganda, I'll post mine. :thumbsup: (altho mine doesn't come from wanna-be "journalist" hacks, posing as political intellectuals on some partisan blog) Seems to me it's akin to the liberal instructors telling our kids to question authority. (just not our authority) A true double standard, with a bit of indoctrination thrown-in.

And my, he sure is busy now-a-days, correcting "out of context" or "false issues", his religion, his voting records... Is this how he's planning on handling US foreign affairs? Call them names till the polls show he must be right, and the foreign powers submit to his superior childishness?

Image is everything, and Osama appears to be a whining punk.

All the liberals are crying that McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time...but still my question as to whether anyone else has looked into the comparison between the Obama voting record, and his party's incompetent leadership's votes, goes unanswered. C'mon...I want to hear this from a liberal...

To me it's sooo funny watching everyone focus all of their attention to the conservative VP. The more they insult her...the more they invent lies and slander, the more severe the backlash will be. Keep it up, tho. The lies, slander and partianship has already cost some liberals their jobs. (MSNBC hacks) And if I'm not mistaken...isn't McCain doing much better in the polls, since Osama decided to piss-off half of america with his sexist statements and insincere retractions.

I wonder who Obama will choose as his VP...? Perhaps we'll hear from him sometime, lol.

Ha ha! Rusty is bashing Obama for childish name calling! While calling him "Osama" and a "whining punk"!

Honestly... I'm not sure if people have noticed but I've been commenting less and less in the politics forum. This is the reason why, people aren't discussing politics anymore and are just falling prey to media drama made to boost ratings.

Focus on the issues? I hate it equally as much as when people try to pin Obama down on trivial matters also.

So I've been holding back more so than usual and anticipate by the time it comes for the actual election I probably won't be participating at all. This election like all others before it is finally starting to enter the mud slinging phase.

Everyone sit back and watch the children play. :hippy:

You just might want to consider how it reflects on you, and whether anyone will take your arguments seriously or not. You have valid opinions, but when people see the name-calling, they just tune out everything.

Same reason I have so few comments. While I do read these threads, I still have no fucking clue what you guys are ranting about. Seems to be a lot of political fellatio IMHO...Any of you guys paid lobbyists? Granted I am no one special, but PLEASE.... can't you guys argue about something a WEEE bit better than who said what about lipstick? What the shit does this have to do with who is gonna be president.

FACT: Either candidate elected isn't gonna change much of shit.
FACT: They are politicians!!! Isn't mudslinging all this is really about?
FACT: NOTHING IS GONNA CHANGE!!!!
FACT: NONE of you know either of them, so NONE of your FACTS can really be provable facts. You guys thrash each other for shitty sources, but hell, "he said, she said" is shitty no matter where it comes from ya? Dont suppose any of you havfe heard the saying "Believe half of what you see, and NONE of what you hear"?

You (broad sense of the word) just know what they are telling everyone else. Classic telling people what they wanna hear. How many times has a candidate said they would do something, and actually did when they got into office?

The only way any of us are gonna feel the difference in change of "power" is if you have a Fortune 500 company, and have been lining their pockets...The New World Order will be upon us soon....grab a seat:jointsmile:

Here guys...you need it:joint1:

It's a common expression in the south, he was in Virginia, he's said it before Palin was nominated, and HE WASN'T TALKING ABOUT PALIN.

I'm sure that this man who was raised in Hawaii, went to Harvard, then moved to Chicago, has used this phrase many times in his life.

Have a good one!:s4:

Maybe he meant lipstick on a pug, not a pig. I mean pug/pitbull, what's the difference? Both are dogs, and she said it first!

I could care less about the comment Obama made but I can see why people are like "WTF".

Go home and ask your wife a g/f the difference between when she proudly calls herself a pitbull or when you call her a pig. I'm sure if people looked at it like that then it would be obvious why this is such a big deal.

Secondly if you heard the crowed they applauded on that comment.. how many southerners have you heard cheer and clap when someone says "you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig"? I'm willing to bet never or on some very rare occassion.

Point being is Obama is either a huge idiot or he's a total jerk.

1. Palins pitbull comment is very well known. Regardless if it's a saying in the south.. Obama knew she said that and had to have had some idea that people would take what he said and applied it to Palin. If he didn't think that it would get turned around this way then this guy has got to be dumb. This is politics, how can you not expect the obvious.

2. If he knew that Palin said this and said it in reference to her then he's simply a jerk.

Again, honestly I could care less about this particular statement but I think this is how the media and a good portion of American citizens view this.
