THE MAKING OF A MESSIAH
By Divine Democrat on September 9, 2008 at 6:55 PM in Current Affairs
Since John McCain picked Sarah Palin to run on his ticket as Vice President, the Obama campaign and his faithful followers have been busy trying to discredit her as having less experience than Barack Obama.
Of course, they try to ignore her extensive list of accomplishments as Governor and only speak of her role as Mayor of City of Wasilla. I’ve also noticed that they are rolling out a list of Obama legislative accomplishments in Illinois when he was State Senator.
But the real story here isn’t what they say he did, the real story is what he didn’t do and took credit for.
An article written in February of 2008 by a journalist, Todd Spivak, who worked for a small paper in Chicago — The Hyde Park Herald, knew Obama before he donned that glowing halo his supporters have encased him in. I won’t go into the entire story about how he met him, and what his contacts were, you can read that in his very lengthy and fascinating story, Barack Obama and Me. [SusanUnPC's Note: I'm so glad that Divine is linking to this critically important story -- it is essential reading for ALL voters.]
However, I will point out the true résumé of Barack Obama.
Before 2002, when the Democrats swept nearly all of the Illinois state government positions because the public were sick of President Bush and the Republicans, in general, Obama was going nowhere fast. Every bit of legislation in his name sank like a mob hit wearing cement boots in the Chicago River. It wasn’t until the Democrats controlled the governor’s office and both legislative chambers that the star shown over Obama. But how does this happen to a man who was relatively unknown, even in his own State of Illinois?
The shining light came from one person, Emil Jones, Jr., who represented a district on the Chicago South Side that wasn’t far from Obama’s own district. According to Todd Spivak, and confirmed by Jone’s himself, this is how it all went down.
Several months before Obama announced his U.S. Senate bid, Jones called his old friend Cliff Kelley, a former Chicago alderman who now hosts the city’s most popular black call-in radio program.I called Kelley last week and he recollected the private conversation as follows:
“He said, ‘Cliff, I’m gonna make me a U.S. Senator.’”
“Oh, you are? Who might that be?”
“Barack Obama.”
Jones then proceeded to appoint Obama as sponsor of every high-profile piece of legislation that has been in the works by other senior rank-and-file legislators. Needless to say, they weren’t happy. State Senator Rickey Hendon said this,
“I took all the beatings and insults and endured all the racist comments over the years from nasty Republican committee chairmen,” State Senator Rickey Hendon, the original sponsor of landmark racial profiling and videotaped confession legislation yanked away by Jones and given to Obama, complained to me at the time. “Barack didn’t have to endure any of it, yet, in the end, he got all the credit.“I don’t consider it bill jacking,” Hendon told me. “But no one wants to carry the ball 99 yards all the way to the one-yard line, and then give it to the halfback who gets all the credit and the stats in the record book.”
Recently, when Sarah Palin dissed Obama for his community service in Chicago, the Obama supporters have been up in arms. “What’s wrong with Community Service?”, they asked indignantly. Well, there’s nothing wrong with community service, when it’s done for the community and not for your own political aspirations. Some on the South Side of Chicago saw through the phony facade that Obama was presenting to the public.
But, as a state senator, Obama evaded leadership on a host of critical community issues, from historic preservation to the rapid demolition of nearby public-housing projects, according to many South Siders.Harold Lucas, a veteran South Side community organizer who remembers when Obama was “just a big-eared kid fresh out of school,” says he didn’t finally decide to support Obama’s presidential bid until he was actually inside the voting booth on Super Tuesday.
“I’m not happy about the quality of life in my community,” says Lucas, who now heads a black-heritage tourism business in Chicago. “As a local elected official, he had a primary role in that.”
You might wonder how Jones was repaid for his roll in presenting us with a Messiah. Well, Obama released a comprehensive list of earmark requests which comprised of more than $300 million in pet projects for Illinois, including tens of millions for Jone’s Senate district. Spevick recalls,
Shortly after Jones became Senate president, I remember asking his view on pork-barrel spending.I’ll never forget what he said:
“Some call it pork; I call it steak.”
And speaking of pork…we’ve all heard Obama and his disciples talking about how Palin was for the “Bridge to Nowhere” before she was against it? Well, the fact is, she was for a “link”, which could be anything from a bridge to a ferry. Her exact quote (one you won’t hear from the MSM or Obama) was, “The money that’s been appropriated for the project, it should remain available for a link, an access process as we continue to evaluate the scope and just how best to just get this done. This link is a commitment to help Ketchikan expand its access, to help this community prosper.”She ended up not supporting the bridge to nowhere, but guess what? Obama just loved the idea! In the US Senate, Obama VOTED FOR the $400 million Bridge to Nowhere.
Let’s make this clear, though… Obama won’t call that “pork”, he calls it “steak”. Only the best for “The Messiah”.

I guess nobody needs Obama any more at all.
He said he would bring the troops home. Bush is starting to do that. And, since the surge worked (no thanks to Obama) our next President McCain can bring the rest of our troops back when they’re ready to come home.
As a matter of fact, Obama has changed his position on almost all issues that we could just elect John McCain President and not worry about Obama flip-flopping again to something perhaps very uncomfortable. American’s really don’t like Obama’s form of socialist communism — they really don’t.
As a matter of fact by electing John McCain, we won’t have to worry about why Obama likes to hang with gutter-types like Tony Resko, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and other low-lifes.
This idea is so wonderful, I’d like to invite all of you dedicated Americans to vote for John McCain and that wonderful young lady of real hope and real change, Sarah Palin.
What a glorious breath of fresh air she truly is. And she has more, much more, executive experience than Obama and Biden — roll them up and throw those bad boys away.
No Jeremiah Wright Obama. No Hussein Ayers. No Father Barack Pflager. And, well, no B. Obama Farrakhan.
God bless America.
well said!!
Sept. 7, 2008 – NYT
“Twenty years ago,” Mr. Wright said at Elmwood United Presbyterian Church, where he was appearing as guest minister, “a scrawny little kid, pointed nose, big-eared; mama from Kansas, daddy from Kenya; the lord told him, an ordinary black boy, ‘You can be a state senator and you can bring folk to the bargaining table who not only do not talk to one another, these folk don’t like one another.’
“He did what the lord said,” Mr. Wright continued, “an ordinary black boy like Mary was an ordinary little girl. Not only did he become a state senator, this black boy with an African daddy from Kenya and a white American mama from Kansas, he had the audacity to hope, so he ran for the United States Senate.
“And now,” Mr. Wright added, as cheers rang from the audience and the organist punctuated his words, “Oh my God, and now — Whoo!”
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/08/us/politics/08wright.html
what is your point??
Obama used Trinity Church to advance his political career and get on the inside of the Chicago political machine. He didn’t care if that path involved rubbing shoulders with Ayers and Rezko and other unsavory characters exhibiting behavior that conflicted with Christ’s teachings.
And Obama’s actions during the primary revealed his true character – and it ain’t a pretty sight.
That spoken from a man who has been having an affair with Elizabeth Payne—-lots of cred there. Elizabeth has lost her job, her husband, her standing in her church because of Wright. Great role model/minister model for their community–NOT.
Has anyone noticed that Rev. Wright describes BO twenty years ago as a “scrawny little kid”? WTF is he talking about? Twenty years ago BO was 27 years old! Another attempt to shelter him from inconvenient associations? BO did the same thing when he said he was eight years old when his pal Ayers was honing his terrorist skills, very carefully covering the fact that he has also known him for twenty years. The Obamboozler in action!
I feel certain now that the McCain people have a huge October surprise. It is completely out of character for republican strategists to run such a solid, positive, appealing and sometimes humble campaign. They have something so big they don’t even have to risk a negative label to win in desperation. They are just biding time with a fair, clean fight.
A lot of us never felt we needed him to begin with.

Thank you!
Do you know where that took place?
(Obama brushing Hillary off his coat – enjoying the crowds laughter)
Such a needy little man.
You sound like the guy who sold me that used car.
“You can put lipstick on a pig,” Obama said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.”
This was offensive when Obama said it, and still is. He has a definite problem with women. It is obvious in his taste for music and in his previous comments against Clinton and now Palin. The Democratic Party should be ashamed to have him as their candidate and leader.
yeah and then the fool tried to say, that McCain had said that about Clintons health care plan. Saying that about a bill is one thing, about a person is something completely different. If he can’t figure that our then he doesn’t need to be president.
well, mccain did said something nasty about Clinton’s daughter looks.
Can you kindly take this talking point, pal3, and shove it? Insulting an entire gender is not equivalent nor comparable.
I just saw the clip in question on Fox. First thing I noticed was all the women clapping and hollering behind Obama when he made his obnoxious “joke.” They knew who he was insulting, all women. Yet they clapped and laughed and hollered anyway. Disturbing. I just felt a vileness in the air, coming from their self hatred and hatred for everyone else.
And now – the Repubs are calling for Obama to apologize to Palin for calling her a pig.
ROFLMAO
Karma is a bitch! Remember all the faux outrage from Obamabots over Hillary’s historical remark about LBJ and Dr. King. She’s a RACIST!!
And her historical remark about RFK – Hillary wants Obama ASSASSINATED!!
And Hillary merely citing polling data that the white working class wasn’t voting for Oblahma – she’s a RACIST!!!
Obviously Obama didn’t call Palin a pig, but I love the way the Repubs are defending Palin and making a big deal about it.
No Dem leaders defended Hillary’s innocent and ACCURATE remarks! – but instead went along with Obamabots hysteria over nothing.
Not obviously JoseyJ: something really weird was going through Obama’s head… It was really ourageous. The crowd REALLY thought he was talking about Palin.
IMO he called Palin a pig, or Palin was the lipstick on the pig(McCain). And he called McCain a stinking old fish. How can anyone who speaks like that can be POTUS??? That was so so so unpresidential….He also was offensive and disrespectful in treating Palin a mere mother and a sexualized object if she wa sthe lipstick instead of the pig itself.
Barack Obama today (as reported by ABC News):
The whole thing is really offensive.
UG …you left out Mohammed the taxi car driver.
Does this IGIT think he is giving a sermon at ST. Sabina?
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13290a.htm
Zero class.
Actually, it was Kieth Olberman who read Sen. Clinton’s reference to Bobby Kennedy as a call for Sen. Obama’s assassination. You remember Kieth’s rant, don’t you? How he went for 10 minutes spewing and sputtering and spitting how loathesome was Sen. Clinton for advocating such a despicable, hideous crime. Shame on her, he raved; shame and shame again. I don’t think Mr. Olberman is a republican…
This from the guy who three weeks previously had stated flatly that a super-delegate should take Sen. Clinton into a room, and only he comes out. You remember him, don’t you?
Josey:
Have you ever asked yourself why you are voting for a man who thinks you are a bitch, a pig, a wh*re? Get a sense of dignity about yourself, will you? Therapy is in order, there girl.
Irony is that by not choosing Hillary, Obama confirmed his gender bias issues.
The Republicans are doing what they can, in Gov. Palin, to retrieve all that “shatter glass”. They may not even get a majority of that demographic but the symbolism is grounded in a reality that won’t go away.
It is insane to think a person like Gov. Palin does not have an appreciation of the environment, being an outdoors type. (who isn’t in Alaska?)
It was VERY offense of Obama to slam “Mohammad” the taxi driver by using him to draw a contrast using The name “Mohamed” as a terrorist. All this to do what? Insult the Prophet Mohamed and his taxi?
I make this point to draw the parraell to how Gov. Palin is being Austroturfed.
When it gets to the point that we have such disregard for the accomplishments of an individual, (or lack there of in the case of BO), our ability to remain a nation of diversity is in question.
I am still reeling, one hour after reading (and then watching) the most sexist comment I’ve ever heard a politician utter against a woman. I’m flabbergasted and disgusted! Who the hell does this jerk think he is?
I am still reeling, months after he flicked Hillary off and then dusted her off his shoulder. Now calling Palin a pig. He is the pig.
Who was he talking about, Mich-el?
Ask Michelle why she calls him “pathetic” and you will have your answer, RW.
With your indulgence;
Have you seen those little piggies?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1QqZaMUzZs
The man, and his campaign, are committing suicide right before our eyes.
Insinuate that the Governor of Alaska is a pig.
Yep. That will win back all those woman voters.
Wow.
PUMA
I knew the hockey mom joke would morph into pig. Evil misogynist types love calling women pigs.
Just because you call someone a pig does not make it so. The only thing that he is doing is solidifying the support for Palin.
Obama is revving up the circlejerkers once again.
Well. Not a good way to “broaden his base.” Any woman who doesn’t get it doesn’t recognize the vileness of this man.
Emil Jones said publicly he was going to make him a senator and he did. He had not idea of this man’s ambition, but he was the conductor of the train. When he returned from Boston saying he could be President, I could not believe my ears. I was there that Sunday at Carasel (sp) on Superior after the 2004 convention.
I am sadden by turning on a black man and even more sadden on turning on a party that I love and believe in their principals. It’s not the party I loved and respected anymore.
No worries, you didn’t turn on anyone…they moved, they moved votes, they walked away from all of us…..to follow this loser, this repugnant man of no policy, no morals, no class. It really astounds me that they still believe we would ever come back….I never moved from here, how can I come back, I’m still standing on principal, on democracy, on my own….I no longer need the democrats to tell me what to believe, as I now know completely that they have no beliefs, no values, no morals, no democratic principals.
I stand with John and Sarah, I stand with my country first, I stand on morality, on respect for voters and where they choose to vote, I stand with democracy….not the democrats. I do not need a messiah, I need a President that I can respect, that I know loves this country, I need McCain/Palin. We all do.

Lipstick on a pig remark.
Obama=pig.
Haha. Sean Hannity is ripping on it already!
Thats terrible. That is going to hurt Obama bad
Check this out…Obama has to answer to Phil Bergs lawsuit by Sept. 24.

Hillary ‘08!
His response can’t come soon enough. Time to fire up the grill!
Obama crushing under pressure?
…being even more rude and mysogynistic as can be.
…speaking of pigs.
“Obama: ‘Lipstick on a pig’
Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:
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.”
“We’ve had enough of the same old thing.”
The crowd apparently took the “lipstick” line as a reference to Palin, who
described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single
word: “lipstick.”
UPDATE: The McCain campaign is now saying Obama called Palin a pig, which
he didn’t. They also note that “lipstick is a fairly common idiom he often
uses,” as in a recent Washington Post interview. McCain has also used the
phrase. Though on a day when Obama’s surrogates were joking that Palin’s
record can’t be concealed with lipstick, it was hard for those following
the campaign not to hear the echo.”
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Obama_Lipstick_on_a_pig.html
Barry has the nerve to not stand by his references. Of course he was
talking about Palin and McCain, is there someone else he’s running against
that he is trying to refer to? NO.
He specifically was talking about his challengers because he said “paper
called change. It’s still gonna stink.” “We’ve had enough of the same old
thing.”
If Barry really expects people to buy he wasn’t referring to Palin and
McCain, maybe he’d like to share who it was he was referring to in that
statement.
and as my hubby just replied to me:
“.all intentionally indirect abuse that is without a doubt targeted to McCain & Palin …but has that scumbag’s wiggle room for Barry to say he was not referring to them literally…
It is rude and demeaning and completely NOT a NEW kind of Politics…it is nasty Rovian Politics…foul and disrespectful and totally unworthy of a Presidential Candidate…that’s punk street-talk/trash-talk…
What a total @SSHOLE!”
I’m sorry but I absolutely do not buy his claim that he was talking about something else. He has a pattern of this and it is time to put a stop to it. No more passes for Obama, hold him accountable for his words and actions just as any other candidate would be.
99 Problems and a Bitch is not One! We must not forget!
Middle finger extended up the cheek. Right, Barky. Such a nice boy. “Why, I wouldn’t even swat this fly.” <- Norman Bates in Psycho.
Had that been the only comment then he could have had a pass. But Obama knew exactly what he is saying and doing. By following the first comment with “old fish” he then specifically made a subtle reference to Palin in the first comment. Then he reinforced the insult by referring to the issue in the present singular. “The same old thing” is a direct reference to McCain.
Had all of these references been said in the plural, then they would refer back to the subject under discussion. But by making them in the singular he referred the argument to the subjects of the reference.
He can’t scape the insults now like he did with Hillary and the finger gesture and the shoulder and leg brush gesture. He is an insulting candidate that has the manners of a thug. That in reference to his comment that he will not be bullied.
Obama is stooping to the lowest denominator of a politician not only in memory but it will be difficult to find in history one more distasteful.
Who writes this crap for his Crap Cannon?
A fish?
By tomorrow it will be his staffs fault….it always is.
“This is not the staff I knew.”
The pig comment didn’t offend me HALF as much as the fish comment. The fish comment was indirectly referencing Palin’s feminine parts and that truly steams me. I am beyond digusted right now.
SO TRUE!
I didn’t make that connection at all… The ‘pig’ reference could very easily be seen to refer to Palin, but I saw the ‘OLD’ fish as being a reference to McCain.
If you know urban slang, you know “fish” is a reference to vagina, and it’s usually used with the concept of “smell”
A brief explanation here:
http://hillaryorbust.com/2008/09/obamas-fish-comment-more-sexist-than-lipstick-on-a-pig/
Dear Mr. Obama,
Why don’t you go put Lipstick on your bitter wife and turn her bitter frown upside down.
You sir are not fit to run for president of this great country.
His disgusting and demeaning remarks and treatment to women make me think more and more Sinclairs claims of their encounters are TRUE!
I just saw the vid on Utube, am furious this man is the worse thing that ever happened to politics in America.
ain’t karma a bitch
what’s the term for misogyny baiting… couldn’t happen to a more deserving campaign
I’ve sent a few emails today to my Obama supporter friends reminding them
1) there are NOT enough undecideds left to bring to their side with spin, lies, hyperbole and insults
2) that their continued insistance on e-mailing the rumors is going to only do one of two things
a) make their Obama friends laugh or get more riled up
b) make the people who already DON’T support Obama get so pissed off they vote straight republican in November
It took a few email back and forths but many of them seem to have gotten my point. I REALLY, REALLY don’t want down ticket Dems losing. Our state legislatures have a REAL IMPACT on the quality of our lives and they also serve as a counterbalance to the worst ills of Washington.
So… perhaps all of us should take the time to make a reasonable plea to the Beserkers to get control of themselves before the hurt the rest of Dems running for office
I think the majority of Obama supporters are obviously beyond understanding logic and reason. Posting a website about Palin’s new baby calling it retarded? Seriously, I doubt logic is going to be useful w them. Personally, I am not voting for any Democrat who has supported Obama. I can’t. If that means a straight Republican ticket, so be it. Perhaps next time the Democrats will have better leadership all the way around.
make a reasonable plea
With repsect Linda, it will fall on too many deaf ears.
Anyone watching this O’Rilley interview?? Obama is squirming!!
I’ll have to wait for the repeat at 11 p.m. East. I just put our nearly 1-year old twins down and am now sittging with laptop as they fall asleep. I am curious abou the interview, wish it was live to here him asked about today’s over-the-top rudeness toward Governor Palin.
Anyone watching this O’Rilley interview?? Obama is squirming!! Wow.
No I don’t have Fox. What’s going on?
O’Rilley is not letting Obama get away with any wimpy answers. He calls him out on his ties to the DailyKos and William Ayers. Calls him out on his weak responses.
O’Reilly taked about Ayers and the Woods fund but he didn’t mention ANYTHING about Obama being the Chairman of the Annenberg Challenge that Bill Ayers set up. Now that Obama has a new Ad out about Education the McCain Camp should put out a Ad detailing Obama’s adventures in Education spending $110 million with Ayers.
Mac’s response ad is pretty good. Something like:
“His one education accomplishment? In the State Senate, he sponsored a bill that made sex education mandatory . . . for kindergartners.”
Bwahahahahahaha …… OUCH!!!!
And Obama said Ayers got involved with an education project! I thought O’Reilly would pipe in Annenberg, but he didn’t, but it looked like he knew!
I suspect they don’t want him to appear to possess any executive experience at all.
What’s weird is that Obama goes along with it.
Good for O’Reilly. It’s about damn time somebody in the media started reallt pressing Obama on these things. He’s gotten a free ride for the past year and a half.
i just saw it – squirming, sweating and poking, poking at o’reilly’s knee. juvenile.
think fox may have deliberately cast him in a ‘bad light’ – always shot from back of the head, ears sticking out, awkward posture in profile – looked like a stick figure. lighting was unflattering.
hillary rocked when she met with bill-o –
THE PIG COMMENT IS UNFORGIVABLE!! WHERE ARE THE DEMS? no kerry, kennedy, no edwards or richardson – no dukakis, or mondale. like he’s been abandoned.
poor bawack
Very
Watching Obama reaching for Bill O’Reilly’s knee is so disgusting. Hearing Obama pass off his alliances with Ayers and Wright is even worse.
It’s guilt by association, he whines. “He did a despicable act when I was eight!” and “I know thousands of people!” Or how about, “I never heard him say those things” (speaking of Wright’s outrageous comments, adding now the relationship is “ruptured” as a result. And oh yeah, he went to church twice a month.)
Bill O’Reilly said he knows thousands of people too and not one is like that (Ayers bomber.)
the relationship with Ayers was a tangent? what a joke. the relationship
was strong and will be uncovered.
O’Reilly just said that Obama does not think the relationship with Ayers
was a problem.
the fact is now Obama does think it is a problem. he is just lying about
it now.
and truth will come out!
O. is so uncouth! This year has been a nightmare!
I still don’t understand how anybody could vote for this guy. WTF was the DNC thinking putting this guy up for POTUS.
Sadly… this is the country that elected George W. TWICE. That’s why this ass called O has a chance.
Scary.
http://retardedbaby.com
I guess the Obama supporters just dont know how to quit..
Patti – that is a disgusting site – I can’t believe
they would post such horrible garbage – someone needs to send this to the McCain campaign and Hannity this is way over the line !!!
This “lipstick on a pig” comment will prove to be the final nail. Who in their right mind could possibly think that he “meant” anything else. It was obviously a reaction to the Palin/Pitbull remark.
What the hell happened to the Democratic party?
Pathetic.
PUMA
He got away with what he did to Hillary because it was the first time something like this has happened in a presidential campaign. But this time, we know. Beyond pathetic.
Pathetic is right. It disgusts me.
Obama is a loathesome sociopath – evil. And that’s who we Dems (former Dem myself – changed to Indi) put up for POTUS. We suck. Saying we suck is being nice. It’s much worse than that.
His speaking syntax is a great example of double think a la George Orwell.
Two opposites existing at the same time.
Then, he alternates with trash talk and 75 cent words that he hopes will float over everybody’s head.
Like “tangent”!
ANSWER IN SENTENCES, YOU A**!
They won’t put anything out right now. It is still too early and they are ahead in the pols. If things look too close they will start putting things out late October when they have the most impact.
He won’t be able to do that during the debates. He will have to answer and won’t be able to say “what he said” like he was doing with Hillary. His devoted fans did not care if this guy could put a sentence together on his own.
Or – as I’ve said before…in my book, in my speech, as i’ve said on more than one occasion, if you remember correctly, if you were listening, you’d know…THAT THE NOTION THAT I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AYRES, OR WRIGHT…well, as i said just last week…
pathetic!
i can’t take much more of this – when will the Rs drop the big guns?
There’s the word “NOTION”!
Here’s the wind up…here’s the pitch…
Geez Bob I have never a W.O.R.M. ball before!

Is there a historical presidence for a presidential candidate self-destructing and the party asking them to resign? I know that VPs have come and gone but, even as a student of US history, I cannot think of a single presidential candidate resigning after their convention. As if Obama’s lies and associations aren’t bad enough, his misogynism is clearly appalling. Are their not any grownups and commonsense minded people not OD’d on Kool-Aid left in the party to understand just how inappropriate and destructive this is?!
If I were a Republican candidate, I’d be tying Obama’s quote to their Democratic candidate and beat a repudication out of them. Obama should become the pariah of the party. He might even lead to Democratic losses in the house and senate. Wouldn’t that be a kicker to see the Dems lose the Senate in a year like this and all because of the party’s Dear Leader?
He will resign before the second Presidental debate.
Hillary will become President.
Your keyboard to G-d’s monitor…
lol
I’m a diehard Bubba Fanatic and Hilldog and I too would like the skies to start raining root beer, but unless something really good comes out, I think the damned Dumbocrats are stuck with the dumbass.
Yeah it’s just nuts how this is going. The middle finger, the 99 problems, the brush off, the ‘periodic’ moods, the small-town mayor, and now the pig– you stitch those together and you have a dumbass misogynist and a great campaign ad.
Patti, That site isn’t there.
I havent figured how to link on this site. I copied and pasted this from CM. Its a site for moms. The site is DISGUSTING…..
cripes, those people are fucking INSANE. I am serious. No wonder they thought the pig comment was so funny…they’re all nuts. No compassion or morals.
I emailed this to Hannity this afternoon. I say we all do it because he seems to be the only one willing to go after Obama.
Sadly, this isn’t really a new low for the infantile left. It’s about par for the course.
It is there and it is disgusting !!
A horrible site.
GET SCREEN CAPS AND SEND IT TO HANNITY AND ORIELY AND RUSH LIMBAUGH!!!!
I sent it to all of them, including the idiots at CNN and MSNBC.
“Lipstick on a pig” = the cheek scratch i.e. subtle enough for people to say “aw, you’re reading too much into it” and so defuse any outrage.
I’m surprised NQ has not reported that EMPTYSUIT make a sexist nasty rude joke towards Sarah.
Lipstick on a Pig….is still a Pig.
I cannot believe this asshole.
Will the MSM pick it up? I doubt it! They normally pick up things from Drudge (oprah)and politco, but they will pass over this. I again feel sadden, but I will send the link to Rush now and Fox will pick it up from his show.
The problem with the “lipstick on a pig comment” is this …
MSM wont willingly report it. If Sarah had said something like that about Obama it would get 24/7 coverage, but since the messiah is their guy they wont whisper a word about it. I have been flipping between all 3 channels and have not heard it mentioned once.
Yeah sure it is all over the blogosphere, but the people on the blogesphere already have their mind made up. The truly undecideds and the people who can be swayed do not go on the blogosphere. Nobody on Daily Kos is going to change their mind after this.
The only way for MSM to pick this up, would be for the McCain campaign to push the envelope and demand a apology, but McCain is not very aggressive on the offense.
Personally I dont see what downside their is for McCain to demand a apology. Nobody is going to hold it against him, but nothing out of the McCain camp about it so far. Whoever is running the McCain campaign is not doing a very good job in my opinion. They could have buried Obama by now.
I can understand saving your bullets till late Oct if you only had one or two bullets to fire, but McCain has a whole box of bullets he can fire. Obama has so much baggage. McCain could have a “october suprise” every week for Obama from now to November if he wanted, but instead he will wait till the very last second to unleash everything, which will diminish the effect, because everyone wont be able to digest everything at once.
My Opinion
I agree. And, McCain HAS now demanded an apology. I think they should keep demanding it, for that’s the only way the MSM will run with it.
I mean, seriously, this story has the potential to explode – I think it could be really big, and force Obama to issue an apology to Sarah. (And Pigs!)
PUMA
He has a case. As I said before the comments were made in the singular tense. Had he said, pigs or old fishes. He was referring to Palin and McCain.
FOX has been reporting this lipstick comment today!
Can you imagine him as President with heads of state of other countries who oppose us? If he can’t even respect his American opponent, WTF is he going to say to them???
Do you think with them big ears he can fly, I had to say something cause I am so mad I dont dare say what I am thinking………..
These whack jobs are on some serious drugs.
I haven’t seen much of Howard Dean or Donna Brazille lately. You’d think they’d be out on the talk shows keeping their investment from sinking any further. It sure is irritating to see Hillary have to be out there saying we have to support Obambi. Ugh! Please let him see the real ‘light’ and resign the nomination!!!!
I guess Donna was around over the weekend. On CNN she made the Jesus was a community organizer and pontius pilate was a Governor!
Wolf Blitzer said the campaign is making tshirts!
Yeah, you know who else was a “community organizer”?
Jim Jones. And Charlie Manson.
McCain may have said something rude about Chelsea, but not as a candidate, I don’t believe.
One would think that if he (Obama) thinks he has risen so far, and is inevitable, wouldn’t he be able to be just a little more gracious than that?
He really very much disrespects not just America, but the process of attaining the executive office!
Only other possibility is he’s given up, decided to throw sand in the machinery. The ultimate terrorist.
See? His actions have never fit the image he has been putting out there. I have always said, if he truly were this new politics and great guy like he said, he would have backed Clinton, tried for VP and worked his butt of so his party could have 16 years in the White House. Well, no, he couldn’t do that, even though he is young so he could have waited and gained that needed experience first.
No, he could not do that because it has never been about you, me and the rest of the country, for Obama it is only about him and his needs!
He has been saying F you to all of us since he got into this race and many people couldn’t see it or they didn;t see it fast enough!
Since Obama is engaging the other VP candidate, he should debate HER!
I would LOVE to see that. I think McCain should find some excuse, at the last minute, to miss one of the debates and send Sarah to make a fool out of Zerobama in his place.
I also think we need to call out the sexism of the “old fish” comment. This, in my mind, was MUCH WORSE than the pig comment. Here’s my post on it:
http://hillaryorbust.com/2008/09/obamas-fish-comment-more-sexist-than-lipstick-on-a-pig/
They never stop, the O supporters are half of what is losing his campaign. If there was any doubt on how O’s pig remark was interpreted, here are remarks from the O campaign blog. IT wasn’t a mistake, he wasn’t just scratching his nose or brushing off his shoulder, the POS meant it as he said it and it was interpreted as such.

God help us if this thug somehow cheats his way into the white house – him and his supporters need to go to hell !!
Since we cannot have Hillary we must do whatever it takes to help McCain.
These are the white collar criminals of our future. Or maybe the future legislature that will have us old broads eliminated before we collect social security.
Something else I find puzzling is BO’s pronunciation of Pakistan. He says “Pock-uh-stan.” I’ve listened to countless news programs and not a single commentator pronounces Pakistan the way BO does nor do I know of a single person brought up and educated in the US who says “Pock-uh-stan.” Perhaps this is the Indonesian pronunciation?
As for O’s lipstick on a pig remark, I have one expressly for him. “You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit.” Clearly Dean and the DNC thought they could & BO still thinks he can. (”YES WE CAN make chicken salad out of chicken shit!”)
Earlier this evening Chris Matthews of tingle leg fame wondered aloud if this country is “losing its guts” should McCain be elected instead of Obama. Better this country lose its guts than its brains is all I can say. Chris Matthews is supposedly a journalist. Where does he dig up such BS?
He’d say anything in hopes that the object of his huge ‘man-crush’ – Baracky – will notice him.
Actually, the country is finally waking from its torpor and finding its guts. That’s why McCain is pulling ahead.
Zerobama gives McCain little slap on education today (actually kind of refreshing to see him take on a MAN for a change), and the McCain campaign immediately responds with this knockout ad.
OUCH!
http://time-blog.com/real_clear_politics/2008/09/mccain_ad_education.html
As the father of a 5-year old girl in Kindergarten, I’d be OUTRAGED is they tried to teach her “comprehensive sex education”.
“Learning about SEX before learning to read?”
I think that is destined to become one of the most effective campaign lines in history and one the McCain campaign can deliver, over and over and over, and it will always have a huge impact.
I am looking forward to it in the debates.
Sounds to me like the things Obama does best is show disrespect to women, take credit for the accomplishments/speeches of other people and see how many slimy, scummy people he can be friends with. Last time I checked, we have a bit higher expectations for President than that.
Well Barky and the Obots are in meltdown mode double time. Now one of his surrogates NY Gov. is also playing the race card on Palin by saying that calling Obama a community organizer is Republican code for black.
http://wcbstv.com/politics/paterson.mccain.palin.2.813646.html
oh bullshit, Obama called himself a community organizer, so is he being racist to himself?? They have worn out the race card too. They have done it so much maybe some people will finally let go of their “white guilt”.
Hmmm, I hope my new blind Govenor improves. He will lose based on stupidity..
Another accomplishment for Barack. NY Governor, diminished.
I think the crying wolf on racism by Obama ans his surrogates is even more beneficial to the McCain campaign than the pathalogical smearing of Sarah Palin.
There is absolutely no upside for Zerobama in doing this and TONS of downside.
The only people this race baiting might appeal to are African-americans (and it actually OFFENDS a lot of them) and far left white voters who still go in for “white guilt” (Think Father Pfleger). Both of these groups are already firmly in Obama’s camp.
“Typcial white people” (to borrow a phrase from Barry) are not racist and LIKE black people and are glad to see them do well.
We hate REAL racism, but are SICK and TIRED of all the false accusations of racism that poison our society.
These voters will rebel against this nonsense.
OMG Survey USA McCain up 20 yes 20 points………………………………………………………..I think we can call the slection of Biden as the death nail in the coffin of the DNC selected ticket
and Obama should have staye off O’Reilly he looked like a weak flower
OMG Survey USA McCain up 20 yes 20 points in NC………………………………………………………..I think we can call the slection of Biden as the death nail in the coffin of the DNC selected ticket
and Obama should have staye off O’Reilly he looked like a weak flower
Huckabee is being too nice.
Look at the folks behind OPiggly Wiggly–they started clapping the minute he said lipstick.
Bull Obama, and I believe Palin can take him by they way, called her a pig today and trying to put lipstick of that lie it’s still a LIE……
He didn’t just call her a pig. He called her a pig and an old stinky (insert crude name for female private parts here) with the fish comment
What was the fish comment? I didn’t hear that one.
“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.”
“Old fish” can be slang for old vagina, and the reason fish is used to reference vagina is due to the idea that vagina smells like fish.
I have some links to definitions here:
http://hillaryorbust.com/2008/09/obamas-fish-comment-more-sexist-than-lipstick-on-a-pig/
Thanks. It’s incredible that anyone would think that these statements were not meant to be deragatory toward Palin. Only a fool would make statements like these after being accused of sexism! So, if you need a village idiot, Obama’s your guy!
Nevermind, I found it.
“You can wrap old fish in a paper called change, but it’s still gonna stink.”
Unfuckingbelievable!
Even if he didn’t mean either comment as a direct insult to Palin, it’s still an INCREDIBLY poor choice of words.
Think we’re gonna see any 527 ads come out of this?
You would think as such a great attorney he would know what the appearance of impropriety means-
Don’t even suggest something racist, but sexism, hey that’s ok.
I’m thinking we can call this a Obama nose dive she is KICKing his BUTT
not Only is McCain up 20 points in NC
but now this Willie Brown is right
Democrat Barack Obama’s once double-digit lead in Washington state is no more, according to this latest SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for KING-TV Seattle and KATU-TV Portland Oregon. In an election today, eight weeks till votes are counted, it’s Obama 49%, McCain 45%. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll 4 weeks ago (before both candidates had named their running mates), Obama is down 2 points; McCain is up 1. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll 8 weeks ago, Obama is down 6; McCain is up 6. Obama led by 17 points in June, led by 16 points in July, led 8 points in August, leads 4 points today.]
rot roh
That is excellent news!
Seattle-area non-Obama Democrats, are we getting together in any way to help get the word out about him, and explain to others their non-Obama voting options (hint: that in WA state, writing in Hillary doesn’t help)?
I just talked to my vanpool about Obama on the way home. Two women in the vanpool hadn’t heard about “99 bitches”, scratching his face with his middle finger, or the “brush-off” move. They were in disbelief when I mentioned those things (hadn’t known about today’s, or I would have added those as well). They asked, did you just hear that he did it? Is this just something somebody said he did? Or did you see it yourself? I said, saw it via clips on youtube, and suggested that they go look around for them. They denounced such behavior as “disgusting” and “base” and went on to say how they’ve been thinking again about their support for Obama, and that he originally seemed better than he seems today. The PUMA ranks may be about to grow by 2!
The important point is that these two ladies, who I would consider pretty well-informed, didn’t know this information about Obama’s actions before I mentioned it. I thought, surely everybody knew about it, and was just supporting him regardless because those actions were seen as minor in the scheme of things. The astonishing (to me) reality: no, everybody doesn’t necessarily know about it, and hearing about it just might change someone’s mind.
PUMA’s, it won’t be time to celebrate until Nov 5. Until then, keep getting the word out. Also worth mentioning is the historical context of Roe v. Wade and why younger folks shouldn’t be scared by that threat, how a Democratic Congress will safeguard us against ultra-conservative SCOTUS picks, Obama’s flip-flops, etc.
An article worth the read regarding college students registering to vote; It looks like some of the states are taking exception to the way the college voters are registering(more than likely O voters)The article isn’t happy with this, but something worth looking into. This is much of how the O campaign expects to win in the swing states, where there are a lot of colleges, that’s why they are counting their chickens already on the electoral map.

Somebody’s mommies and daddies are gonna be mad.
Uppity thanks for such a pleasant read! You summarized it perfectly (my rage especially).
Well I say let the Dem party obfuscators go completely nuts and get on the attack mode, I think it will come back to bite them unpleasantly. They seem hysterical so let them at it! hahaha
anyway Im also of the mind that we shouldnt be celebrating too heartily yet. polls go up and down. We need to guard against voter fraud, cuz you know how good the bots are at that!, and keep working to defeat Obama. Im voting McCain/Palin and hope to see Hillary back in ‘12!!
We already know that BO is lower than low, but what is happening with the people who support him. These people are cheering his classless acts. Were these people ever decent people? Why do they think his behavior is applaudable? This does remind me of Hitler, and people getting sucked in, doing dispicable things they would never of dreamed of doing before. If they were ever respectable people, they should be distancing themselves from him and his classless acts. I am wondering if BO’s supporters will look back, and say, “what was I thinking?”. This is not America at its best.
No. I never had any illusions. It was pretty obvious from the beginning. Militant fascism masquerading as liberal schlopp.
More of Senator Hendon’s dealings with Obamanation:
On June 11, 2002, Obama’s vote sparked a confrontation after he joined Republicans to block Democrats trying to override a veto by GOP Gov.
George Ryan of a $2-million allotment for the west Chicago child welfare
office. Shortly afterward, Obama chastised Republicans for their “sanctimony”
in claiming that only they had the mettle to make tough choices in a tight
budget year. And he called for “responsible budgeting.”
A fellow Democrat suddenly seethed with anger. “You got a lot of nerve to
talk about being responsible,” said Sen. Rickey Hendon, accusing Obama
of voting to close the child welfare office.
Obama replied right away. “I understand Sen. Hendon’s anger. . . . I was not
aware that I had voted no on that last — last piece of legislation,” he said.
Flash Forward to January 21, 2009
President Obama: “I uh,uh, understand your um, you know, feelings Prime Minister Brown, I was not aware that I uh-um ordered a um-uh-uh you know nuclear attack against, uh-uh-uh, London.”
Oh! You. Gotta. Be. Kidding! Can you dig up a URL for that?

Remember: this was easy for the spoiled brat Bill Ayers. He had his father Tom Ayers – according to some even more powerful in Chicago than the Daleys – to bail him out at any time. If Billy wants to blow up some people darling why should we deny him? We’ve never before denied him anything!
And ask yourself where the power and money and influence of the deceased (2007) Tom Ayers is today. Care to guess?
And above all: follow the money. Follow the money to the Chicago bid for the 2016 Olympics. This is the big honey cake they all want.
Frankly I can’t understand why anyone would want to live in Chicago. But then again I’m sure the Eloi could never understand why the Morlocks lived underground.
For the Pizza.
I would travel anywhere around the world to live in the social order of King Daley
I just know that the guy understands that the middle class and poor would benefit from a guy on their side in the White House, FOR A CHANGE!
Four more years of Bush via the senile McCain and the sycophantic Yukon attach bitch? Shove that where sun does not shine.
From the Oxford English Dictionary.
And watch who you call a bitch, you misogynist fuckwit.
One thing I take exception to immediately in this Spivak piece.
I assume Spivak is not talking about Obama’s lack of intelligence. Obama is not a particularly intelligent individual. He’s a person possessing incredible gall, arrogance, and sense of entitlement but he’s not intelligent. Not even close.
He can’t even construct a single ad lib grammatically correct sentence. His lack of understanding how to handle the scandals is astonishing. He seems to have based his entire persona on an artificially deepened baritone voice that grows thin and annoying over time once the listener understands there’s nothing but an empty suit to back the words up.
Obama is decidedly not intelligent and any truly intelligent person sees this from the get-go.
Thank you.
On Sarah Palin’s accomplishments as a governor…
Haven’t you heard? Pontius Pilate was governor.
All in all, I just get this sense that Obama is in over his head. There is nothing special about him, I get no sense of leadership, or humanity, or intelligence. It’s painful to watch–I get the sinking feeling that Dems can’t, and shouldn’t, win the White House this year. I’d pick Obama over Bush, but I’m going to choose McCain over Obama.
Well said. I cringed though when you talked about the choice between Bush or Obama. Choosing between sociopaths…ick.
Dear Mr.Obambi,
When I heard your “lipstick” “pig” comment I was reminded of all the DISGUSTING rap music I hear where the supposed artist slams women in such a way that they are perceived to be nothing but some gutter hoe to be used at will because the artist has the stacks of cash to do what he wants. In other words, women to them are nothing more than a commodity bought with the spoils of of same rap music.
Obambi you claim to be an adult, and as such, should be wanting to show a good example to young African Americans, instead you solidify this same disgusting rap music (see above)in an effort to garner that spectrum of society for their vote. That in itself shows you have no interest in raising the level of decorum to something more genuine. A Palin you are not.
Obambi, it all fits, the middle finger to Hillary, the brushing off of your shoulder, the pig comments, the STINKY FISH comment, it all fits perfectly.
It fits perfectly because you really should have been a rap artist , you don’t have what it takes to be POTUS. Go cut some hoe rap tune and please take yourself off the ticket, you are disgusting to listen too.
That’s quite a mouthful, Obama. First you say people should pay off Sarah Palin – and then you go for it. There seems nothing too low for you. US voters don’t want that type of politics anymore. And the grave you’re digging for yourself is way more than six feet deep already, bro – so you can stop digging.
and jump in!
After all the Hillary-misogyny, the pig-lipstick remark and the stinky fish remark…it suddenly hit me: Who else hates women so very much merely for being female? Strict muslims, of course with their ‘religious cover’ that: your (sexually arousing) face and (sexually arousing) hair and (sexually arousing) body. Why I didn’t see this before is beyond me but I see it now. Don’t know if BO sees it himself but OMG! My sister said “well, what about his wife – a seeming strong woman?” My answer, “Maybe we’re dealing with a New Islam here where Black Liberation Theology allows for American style.”
Maybe even weirder, here’s my thought: The only thing between McCain-Palin winning is a physical breakdown of McCain. If Obama backers could slip him (through an innocent campaign worker) a bacteria ridden throat lozenge(?) before a speech causing an almost immediate but on camera breakdown. Nothing that would kill him but something like Jesse Jackson’s stomach flu a couple days ago. Just enough to get the MSM freaking everyone else out about Palin’s alleged “inexperience”. Kinda weird and creepy thinking I know, but what else do they really have anymore? Tell me what you think…I want to know!!
Nation of Islam is not the same as traditional Islam, and I have been saying this for months. Obama is most likely a Nation of Islam Black Muslim. They treat their women slightly differently than traditional Islamists, which would explain why MEchelle is such a loud-mouthed whitey hater.
Finally, a response. Though don’t know who Linda is….am I sounding too out there for everyone?
Hey,
I’m on your side. Check my old posts (all 2 of them) but still. Can’t I join in? I’ve seen others welcomed…whaaaat?
Sorry,
I’m new to posting and obviously didn’t get it right. I see that I’ve alienated everyone. I’m worse at posting than I am in person! Anyway, I’m an avid Hillary supporter and a no way, no how, Nobama PUMA. Sorry to offend everyone but I still kinda think that’s the only weakness in the McCain-Palin ticket.
‘kay,
Sorry to have intruded.
I just saw that my statements, made on this blog, are statements listed under ‘Making the Messiah’. I don’t know what that means . . . is it proposing that I support Obama? Would seem so to me. I do not and am really starting to have a negative impression about you guys. I’ve been reading, quietly, for months and liked what I read. I am in agreement with most of you. I understand Obama people have descended, I’ve read their profane remarks too. What’s up with giving me no quarter?
k, have it your way. I will support MCcain-Palin (since no Hillary) for all the right reasons. But hey, thanks a lot for the resoundingly silent welcome. Doesn’t change my vote but it certainly changes my impression of the contributors to this forum.
Simple question:
How do I get off the link to Obama as Messiah? Its not my thought or belief. Sheeesh! I’m a newbie at all this- GET IT OFF!
Actually McCain, The Drudge Report and Politico are all over the lipstick and other things.
UPDATE: The McCain campaign is now saying Obama called Palin a pig, which
he didn’t. They also note that “lipstick is a fairly common idiom he often
uses,” as in a recent Washington Post interview. McCain has also used the
phrase. Though on a day when Obama’s surrogates were joking that Palin’s
record can’t be concealed with lipstick, it was hard for those following the campaign not to hear theecho.”
Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on Tuesday – introducing Joe Biden at a campaign event – ripped into Palin’s record and punctuated it with this snarky jab. “There’s no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick,” he said. Later in the day, Obama used a variation of the lipstick line, though he was clearly talking about the McCain-Palin reform rhetoric. “You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “It’s still a pig.”
Stephanie Cutter, Michelle Obama’s chief of staff, told MSNBC on Tuesday: “The more we learn about her, the more these facts don’t add up. We now learn that she’s the queen of pork in Alaska.”

More attempted attack on Sarah
Russell Brand pulled Sarah Palin electric chair jokes at VMA
Russell Brand was forced to cut jokes about Sarah Palin sending her own daughter to the electric chair when he presented the MTV Video Music Awards, he has said. But Brand, who called for Americans to vote for Democratic nominee Barack Obama in the presidential elections, claimed censors at the channel had already toned down his routine and vetoed several jokes.
He said: “I had John McCain gags pulled. And they asked me to tone down the gags about Sarah Palin. I wanted to say she was forcing her teenage daughter to have a baby because she is so anti-abortion.
“But also, as a Republican she is pro-execution so she is going to give her the electric chair for being a little slut.
“They weren’t keen on that one.”
Neverthless, he did manage to include a reference to George W Bush as a “retarded cowboy” during the routine.
