Obama Calls Sarah Palin a Pig

The most memorable line of Sarah Palin's wildly successful speech at the Republican convention was ad-libbed. After identifying herself as "an average hockey mom," she joked:

You know what they say the difference is between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick!

Barack Obama has issued his response:

You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig.

In other words, Sarah Palin is not a pit bull but a pig.

Then the Obama campaign compounded the insult by sniffing that angry demands from the McCain camp for an apology were a "pathetic attempt to play the gender card."

Either Obama had no idea what he was saying, which would make him a clueless jerk, or he did know what he was saying, in which case he's just as clueless and even more of a jerk.

No matter how much of an ass this punk makes of himself, he'll still get the votes of Whitey-hating blacks, belly-scratching communists, and phony liberal elite snobs. That leaves the other 80% of the country for McCain and Palin.

Here's another saying about pigs: you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Likewise, not even the mighty mainstream media can make a credible presidential candidate out of Barack Hussein Obama.

You would think that, at my age, I would be past these kinds of thoughts: Nancy-boys like Obama and Edwards are the kinds of punks you'd like to pop in the face. Not too hard, mind you. It would be with an open hand (fists are for men, not little sissies) and just hard enough to make them say something so you'd have an excuse to pop 'em again.

Do seem like the big o is in the initial stages of meltdown in that his latest campaign strategy appears to be "playing the dozens"! Wonder how that would work with Putin? Wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow he'll be employing "your mama" jokes. Hey, McSame...yo mama so old that...

A truly unique and remarkable election!

Posted by: Morris at September 9, 2008 10:11 PM

Morris, well said. We are gonna have terrific memories of this election for the rest of our lives. Hillary stabbed in the back by her own for the Messiah. The fake Presidential Seal and the Greek Temple. The Berlin Victory Speech. And finally the shot heard 'round the world as the first female VP brings down the house. Where does it end? Hold on for the next 2 months...it's gonna be great

Looks like the man who could do no wrong suddenly can do nothing right. He's gonna get beat up over that remark for days. The more he panics, the more missteps he makes. I give his campaign about 3 more weeks before it collapses entirely. That, and my sixth-sense tells my Sarah Palin isn't the only ace up McCain's sleeve. Palin leveled the playing field, but my guess is that McCain has a knockout punch in the works.

Whatever you think about McCain's politics, he sure knows how to run a campaign. Watch for his next move - that'll be game over.

****BREAKING****

Wright appearance canceled after allegation of tryst

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

BY KEVIN C. DILWORTH
Star-Ledger Staff

A woman's shocking allegations of a sexual affair with controversial pastor Jeremiah A. Wright prompted the cancellation last night of his appearance at a church revival in East Orange.

Wright, pastor emeritus of the Trinity United Church in Chicago and Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama's former religious leader, was scheduled to speak last night and tonight as part of the four-day "Fall Revival 2008" at the Elmwood United Presbyterian Church on Elmwood Avenue.

This is just like the childish way he gave Hillary the finger during the primaries, then tried to deny it. Very immature.

If there were an unbiased media in this country, this would be the "macaca" of 2008.

Posted by: V the K at September 10, 2008 2:14 AM

The whole "lipstick on a pig" line had been making the rounds of the KOS and Democratic Underground ever since Palin's lipstick/Pitt Bull comment. He probably thought it would be funny, so he used it. Not thinking about how it would look to the average American. Thats Obamas fatal flaw - he is so in love with himself that he cant imagine anything he says being anything other than true, informative or funny.

The reference to pigs is an insult to Islam.

Obama is dying of self inflicted wounds. Its beautiful thing.

Muslims ofter depict Jews as pigs in their propaganda because its in the Koran. Hmmmm.

Ok, Obama is too in love with himself to be a Muslim - but still.

http://www.investigativeproject.org/article/683

"It is ironic that it is the Koran itself that is replete with references to pigs, often in a particularly derogatory light where Jews are concerned:"

It just shows that Imam Obamamama plays the political game just as anyone else does in Washington, DC. If that moonbat ever again tries to invoke a "above the Washington" style of politics again than conservatives need to play the Muslim card all the way to November.

Posted by: Randy Rhodes at September 10, 2008 6:29 AM

I knew if I stopped by here I could find plenty of hostility and indignation over this (in addition to threats of mild violence toward "nancy boys" and light racism with names like "Yommama").

You guys honestly believe he is calling Palin a pig? Honestly? Did he secretly invent the term "lipstick on a pig" year ago, in hopes of laying on her? Was Obama calling McCain a stinky fish as well? Was McCain calling Hillary a pig when he used THE EXACT SAME FREAKING TERM when talking about her health care plan? Where was your indignation then? Where was the outcry? Where was Jake Tapper's stories then? Where was Instapundit's 15 updates on the breaking story?

It didn't exist then because this is a load of garbage. Your "anger" at Obama's "gaffe" is beyond dishonest. It's a common saying, that people say all the time, and has no meaning beyond the concept that making a bad idea sound pretty doesn't mean it's not a bad idea.

I completely understand if it's something you guys think you can exploit to help your candidate. But if you look into your heart and REALLY think he was calling Palin a pig, I'm not sure what to tell you.

"READ MY LIPSTICK!"

signs at palin rallies - wtf else could obama have meant?

i just hope he keeps stumbling.

Posted by: nanc at September 10, 2008 6:37 AM

bt, that may not have been Obama's intention to actually call Palin that (None of us are mind readers, after all), but the fact of the matter is that it was phrased in such a way that it could easily be seen as a direct insult.
btw, I love how he accuses those who took issue with that term of 'Playing the gender card,' since he and especially his cultlike followers play the race card every chance they can get.

Posted by: Adam at September 10, 2008 6:38 AM

That's fine Adam, and you are right, we are not mind readers. But why no outrage at McCain for voicing the exact same phrase, at a woman no less?

And regardless of how often Obama followers cry racism, the fact of the matter is that IF we are to assume Obama called Palin a pig, then it naturally follows that he called McCain a stinky fish (which just goes to show how stupid this argument is), but the McCain camp is reacting ONLY to the attack on the woman. The subtext is clearly that it's a sexist remark.

It's garbage, but that is the "card" they are playing.

Posted by: bt at September 10, 2008 6:58 AM

The key to knowing what Obama was really thinking was then he paused after saying "You can put lipstick on a pig...." then waiting for the predictable applause as they knew exactly what Obama was referring to, before finishing with "Its still a pig". After all Palin is more popular than either Obama or McCain - making her the #1 target.

If Palin hasnt used the lipstick/Pit Bull reference less than a week earlier, there would likely not be such criticism. Though Im sure there would still be some.

Obama should have directed the comment at McCain himself after talking about McCains plans for America. When 2 guys attack each other with a phrase like that its no big deal, but when a man attacks a woman that way - whoa!!!

BTW where the heck is Biden? Is he stationed in the "undisclosed location" in case we get another 9-11? What about Shillary? Where is she at? My guess is Hillary chortled with delight after hearing that Obama shot himself in the foot again.

Posted by: Anonymous at September 10, 2008 6:59 AM

anon, i think he WAS directing it at McCain. Or at least to his ties to Bush. He directly followed the quote talking about "the last 8 years". I don't think he was referring to Palin's run as mayor.

Posted by: bt at September 10, 2008 7:06 AM

Is Obama just calling Sarah Palin a pig? He could easily be interpretted as calling hockey mums pigs, as the joke refers to all hockey Mums, not just Mrs Palin herself.

He's toast anyway. Gordon Brown endorsed him, and every time he backs any side in a contest his pick loses. http://www.order-order.com/ has many cases, including comment on this one.

"But if you look into your heart and REALLY think he was calling Palin a pig, I'm not sure what to tell you."

~I just had to single this line out. If we look into our hearts we're not REALLY thinking at all. We're allowing our mental processes to be replaced by knee-jerk, emotional reactions devoid of reason, much like your defense of this defenseless gaffe.

We all know this is a common euphemism. However, it was poorly timed and obviously used in poor taste. If you can't reasonably think about this and admit it was even a slight error in judgment on Obama's part, then I have plenty to say to you but it would be wasted on your feeble rational thinking skills.

What a pleasure it is to watch BO's campaign swirl down the drain.

...and yeah, where IS Biden? My guess: sitting tight, waiting for BO to finally lynch himself (word chosen purposefully)...because the Clintons probably offered him something in a potential Shrillary abom(admin)ination.

Obama will always speak idiotese while off teleprompter.
HE has learned from a lifetime of race-based favoritism and entitlements that his utterances should always be acceptable.
HE has never learned the difference between substance and hogwash.

Or between nuance and bumbling incoherence.

HELP HELP! My Lack of substance has come to the public eye! Quick, make slanderous, offensive attacks against my opponent while I pretend to not attack them!

I'm SO smart though, so it's ok because smart people don't say mean stuff!

So all you demos get your turbins;and you PIG demo women get your vails and get ready to be circumsized. Women are third on the rank. We're below a goat. Dearborn, MI (is GONE..more Arabs than England). They've taken over Europe. Brits can't fly their flag-it offends the Islamics. France, Netherlands, good-bye. He is another Hitler. History is repeating itself. He saw a crack and crawled in. This is a plan. They hate the JEWs and the Christains. The black vote is being stolen by this man. The arabs are very cunning. They've taken black slaves for generations (faithfreedon.org) and now they are doing it again. But, they want a champion, who cares if he smokes cracks, and was one of 4 senators to vote NOT to make English our national language? He voted for illegal immigration NOT for latios but to let more Islamics into the country. Read what he told his cousin. And, why does he still have an Indonesian passport?? He needs to be deported along with his cabinet member Farakhan. America we must fight! They are after our country!

Obama's remark "Lipstick on a Pig", gaff or calculated?

Only if you believe Barrack Obama is a gifted orator who knows how to play to an audience would you be offended by a remark that seemingly jabs Sarah Palin? You would also have to know the street use of this term, analogous to putting a paper bag over a woman's head before sexual intercourse.

Posted by: Vic at September 11, 2008 12:32 AM

You guys are a bunch of jerks! Get a life, Obama disn't call her a pig, he called the republician party a pig. If the sow's ear (palin) can't cut it, wear it.

You guys are idiots. So what your saying is the Old White Republican can say it about Hilliary, but the Black man (whom you white folks are scared of and who by the way didn't call the white woman, who also can't control her hot in pants daughter, a pig) You r just like all the rest of the racist inbred country white folks. I guess as long as black people stay in their place you feel safe. Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud.
