Did Barack Obama mean Sarah Palin when he made his "lipstick on a pig" comment? Not exactly. I have a different view on this than most people, as I do with most things. Did he intentionally try to insult Sarah Palin? No. That much is clear. In the context he was in he was talking about McCain's similarity to Bush when it comes to tax policy. The only thing wrong with the Bush tax policy is that during wartime that congress, including the republican one, must control spending and remove earmarks. That's neither here nor there on that issue though. BUT, he was thinking of Sarah Palin when he said it. If you watch it again, watch him put his hand on his forehead and wince. His expression was like "oh I can't believe I'm going to say this. I'm going to get in trouble, but I'm not good at speaking or thinking on my feet so here goes..." Then judge the reaction from the crowd. They took it that he meant Sarah Palin as well. Don't just blame the McCain people, Barack. Look at your own disciples.
To say that the dems have been attacking Sarah Palin unfairly is like saying roses smell better than dead carcasses. Can't be more obvious. Joe Biden just a day or so before said that Sarah Palin would be a "backward step for women". Carol Fowler, South Carolina's chairwoman of the Dem party said "whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion". Dem Rep. Steve Cohen said on the house floor "Barack was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor." Definitely referring to Sarah Palin being governor of Alaska. Former Clintonite and now Barack supporter Donna Brazile said "the Bible says to whom much is given much is required and it comes out of that tradition. So it was insulting to see both, you know, the governor as well as Mayor Giuliani criticize people. There’s some on the Internet now that Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor. And perhaps they should understand the role of a community organizer, do help people in distress." Do you think that's just a coincidence? Sounds like a definite talking point to me.
I often call Obama the "Obamessiah" and that his followers really do believe that he is their Christ. I've said it to family, friends, and in blogs. Some said that I was exaggerating. How about this? I've said it in blogs past that the Democratic Party in crunch time would become desperate to win the White House. Especially the 527's like Moveon.org will put out some really detestable things about McCain that normal Americans would find offensive. That's why McCain is such a smart pick as the GOP nominee. Americans do not like to see our heroes tore down. McCain is clearly a hero. It's clear that Obama is rattled, and that he is easily rattled. All of the dems are rattled. They are afraid of this woman. Read the blog "Palin Makes Media Show Their Hand". I said it then that they're not only desperate to put Obama in the Oval Office, but she threatens their entire progressive movement. To them, she isn't a woman. No woman could be a woman of midwestern values. No woman could be pro-life. No woman could hunt. They can't wrap their minds around her, so instead of trying to seek some understanding they'd rather attack her. Obviously they can't be wrong about anything since they're intellectual liberals. They can't be wrong about anything. This Palin is an alien to them. Something beyond their understanding. Because of this they say things like she's Pilate, or a backward step for women. That's why Obama is rattled doing stump speeches on the fly. He knew he was about to say something stupid but he couldn't stop himself. Watch that video again and tell me I'm wrong.
