The Day Pigs Flew

Originally posted at my home, Partizane.com

Yesterday, September 9, 2008 will live in Barack Obama’s nightmares forever. It is the day his campaign all but ended, The Day Pigs Flew.

Now, I know he just used a common expression that even John McCain uses and I feel confident he was not calling Governor Palin a pig. But that doesn’t matter. Perception is everything. A lesson drilled into any marketer or salesperson’s head. Perception is Everything.

Reality and re-takes don’t matter in real life politics and Barack Obama is experiencing the first real challenge of his political life.

Probably the last too.


It doesn’t matter if he was scratching his face that tme with his middle finger. His audience and all of us assumed he was flipping off Hillary. A Presidential candidate is responsible for every word and every gesture and the context within which they are used. Had Barack been in a hotel suite just finishing his 3rd. glass of Pinot Noir and some jerk filmed him slurring about his hatred of women, I honestly don’t think we’d care. Context is the point. I don’t mind my politician’s getting loaded now and then and I will not hold them to anything they say under the influence and in private.

But the context of a campaign event so soon after Governor Palin used lipstick as a swipe at herself is the issue. Obama and his people knew what they were doing and if they didn’t they are dumber than I thought. The problem is they are still speaking to the blogger boyz in the crowd, the ones there for the free concert. They haven’t figured out yet that this is now the general election and the rest of us are listening.

Perception is Everything!

    Yes, the pig comment was pretty harsh — especially given the fact that it came from someone of “the Muslim faith.”

    Obama lacks the experience of WINNING a tough general election, therefore he is lacking in historical reference – this works – this does not. LynnSprit of Chicago just sent me a joke. The joke is as old a changing paper but the fish are fresh.

    The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.

    Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the winner.

    After much back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota .

    There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with t heir catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, John McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.

    Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another ‘bad hair’ day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.

    At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came in again with none.

    That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, ‘Obama, I think John McCain is a low-life, cheatin’ son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don’t even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.’

    The next night (after John McCain returns with 50 fish), Reid said to Obama, ‘Well, tell me, how is John McCain cheating?’

    Obama replied, ‘Harry, you’re not going to believe this, but he’s cutting holes in the ice.’

  • andy paul

    Obama did know what he was saying. He said it so he could accuse McCain of playing the gender card. Obama is quite the card player. He expected all his twenty something male supporteers to guffaw and rush to his rescue. The most offensive thing he said was that “rotten fish still smells even if it is wrapped in a change paper.” Come on! Where in the hell did that metaphor come from if not an attack that women have heard for thousands of years from men who hate them, or who resent them becasue they won’t compromise or ego stroke? Obama has lost his mind, but his hysteria does not cover up a whole well of mysoginistic feeling he has deep in his soul. The video clip of Obama’s pig comment has been wiped off U Tube, by the way. Scary. But sorry Barry, it just won’t go away.

  • http://firefox AnnieCarmel

    The context left no question in my mind…especially after the middle finger episode. The guy just can’t help himself. He hates us and knows we can’t stand him because of it.

    Women know what these things mean. We know when we get the “punched in the gut” feeling. That doesn’t come from nowhere. We don’t make it up. Maybe he should take a sensitivity seminar before he opens his mouth again…no, wait. Keep on talking Barry, since you were never vetted, it’s the only way we’re going to know you. So far you’re a dismal failure.

    I read a good one in the lead to an article in the Times of London the other day. Here it as, recounted as best I can from memory:

    The other shoots her own food.

    (Obama joking on Letterman) I want to vomit. So basically he is saying is she is just for show. He belittles women every chance he gets.

  • suskin

    I was listening to NPR and the way they/Obama are spinning this is by claiming the uproar over Obama’s “pig-stick” comment is Republican politics as usual – swift boat lies no less.
    Obama pretends to be taking the high road and talking issues – you know, focusing on things that really matter – and accuses McCain/Palin of trying to divert the subject from the real issues by complaining about an “innocent” comment.
    Man, there was a day I really enjoyed NPR, now, can barely stand to listen to them – everything they say is tainted because I see how dishonest and manipulative they are. I think it’s time they lost their federal funding.

  • Katherine B.

    I feel absolutely confident that he WAS indeed calling Gov. Palin a pig. Why would I have any doubt. This is, after all, the candidate who used “99 Problems and a Bitch Ain’t One of Them” for a theme song at a rally.

    I used to ask: Is Barack Obama qualified to be president. Now, I ask: Is he grown up enough to be president.

    Obama you transparent Bozo! We see a pattern here! When you got in trouble for attending and donating to a racist church for 20 years you made a “historic speech” then proceeded to talk about typical white people. Now you stuck your foot in your mouth on Palin and go on Letterman to joke this away? Sorry Bozo that pig won’t fly. ;)

    Obama you are a poor excuse for a human if you are incapable of an apology in this case.

    As was the case with the racist church botched cover-up you are bungling this. And there is no crooked DNC and bribed or blackmailed super delegates to bail you out.

  • NanceGreggs

    Hussein Obama is now a known misogynist. The man is probably close to becoming physically violent and should not be allowed anywhere near Sarah Palin.

    Fortunately, for America, the poll numbers are beginning to show that Hussein is too radical and too dangerous a figure to be allowed to lead the nation. He is better equipped as a ‘community organizer’ and should return to the SouthSide of Chicago where he can continue working with felons(Rezko), terrorist(Ayers) and America-haters(Wright).

  • richasis

    See what Canadian Heather Mallick has to say:

    “I assume John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential partner in a fit of pique because the Republican money men refused to let him have the stuffed male shirt he really wanted. She added nothing to the ticket that the Republicans didn’t already have sewn up, the white trash vote, the demographic that sullies America’s name inside and outside its borders yet has such a curious appeal for the right”

    “It’s possible that Republican men, sexual inadequates that they are, really believe that women will vote for a woman just because she’s a woman. They’re unfamiliar with our true natures. Do they think vaginas call out to each other in the jungle night? But do they not know that women have been trained to resent other women and that they only learn to suppress this by constantly berating themselves and reading columns like this one?”

    “I’m a feminist who understands that women can nurse terrible and delicate woman hatred. Palin was not a sure choice, not even for the stolidly Republican ladies branch of Citizens for a Tackier America. No, she isn’t even female really. She’s a type, and she comes in male form too. John Doyle, the cleverest critic in Canada, comes right out and calls Palin an Alaska hillbilly. Damn his eyes, I wish I’d had the wit to come up with it first. It’s safer than “white trash” but I’ll pluck safety out of the nettle danger. Or something.”

    “Doyle’s job includes watching a lot of reality television and he’s well-versed in the backstory. White trash — not trailer trash, that’s something different — is rural, loud, proudly unlettered (like Bush himself), suspicious of the urban, frankly disbelieving of the foreign, and a fan of the American cliché of authenticity.

    The semiotics are pure Palin: a sturdy body, clothes that are clinging yet boxy and a voice that could peel the plastic seal off your new microwave.” Finally, not that to any objective mind it is Hillary’s voice that is condescending, and that could, “peel the plastic seal off your new microwave.” They don’t call her “Shrillery” for nothing.

    Palin has a toned-down version of the porn actress look favoured by this decade’s woman, the overtreated hair, puffy lips and permanently alarmed expression.”

    His motto should be “We’re all bozos on this bus.”

  • samb

    I believe that Obama used the pig term hoping it would get a laugh and cause the media to look up how many times it was used by McCain in the past, but it backed fired, if this is right Obama would show McCain as a sexist too, but that didn’t happen, McCain beat Obama to the punch with a new ad were Obama is saying the Pig Lipstick commit. K.O round gose to McCain

  • NQ Popcorn etc. Concession

    And this is not over. Barky will bungle trying to cover up his original plan.

  • Joe Biden’s hair plugs speak out!

    I think he used that term because he is seething with rage at the smackdown Palin gave him at the GOP convention. His contempt for her was evident in some other comments he made.

    Instead of giving citizens a reason to vote for him, he’s just engaging in smoothing his own ruffled feathers. Not a good plan for victory.

    Cheers to McCain and Palin. You know what I wonder, though? How many would’ve showed up for Palin without McCain? My guess: 23,000.

    How many would’ve showed up for McCain without Palin? One-tenth as many, I suppose.

    Team McCain has created a monster. All the energy, freshness and star power is coming from the bottom of the ticket. That’s unprecedented in our political history, isn’t it?

    When is the hothouse flower gonna get out there and campaign on her own? Without dad looking over her shoulder?

  • Jim S

    They expected 10,000-12,000 to attend, they got 23,000 And the beat goes on…

  • Linda

    sorry NH, I disagree with you. He meant in every way to make the reference that Palin was the pig in lipstick, because he was talking about them….and he had to give another comparison for her runniing mate, however, not a well known phrase, just a very distasteful one and we know it’s not “old” because according to Obama, he came up with “change” and McCain isn’t allowed to use it. ???

    “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.”

    Obama probably thinks he came up with Hope too. Don’t tell him Axelrod used the speech first for John Edwards. Barry was probably not paying attention then. And no doubt, Axelrod love it from Bill Clinton’s ” a place called Hope”.

  • RepublicanChick

    Obama’s campaign began to slip with his World Tour, but it really took a downward spiral after the Saddleback Forum.

    Since Sarah Palin has become the VP nominee for the Republican Party, Barack Obama hasn’t quite recovered from the announcement on August 29th.

    He started off poorly by making fun of her experience as mayor of Wasilla. Since then, it has spiraled out of control. By that afternoon, he and Joe Biden came out with a more “gracious” message and they did eventually call to congratulate her.

    This morning on Fox and Friends, I heard one of the guys exclaim that Obama was upset the McCain camp was taking his “change” mantra and using it. Well, when was the last time we heard “Hope and Change”? August 28th to be specific. It was the night before Sarah entered his “life” and probably his nightmares.

    When push comes to shove, Obama will not fight back. This is why you’ll find increasingly frustrated Democrats and Leftwing blogs doing everything they can to keep his campaign afloat.

    Yesterday was a prime example, he fought Sarah and McCain by going after them with “words”. Yes, just words. It turned into a debacle. Instead of finding a way to apologize, he’s dug himself in deeper.

    In a span of 24 hours, the McCain camp has managed to release at least 2 ads hitting him hard. Yet, Obama still doesn’t have a response. His surrogates are trying to help him, but their help is creating a big mess.

    All of this highlights something the media and others fail to mention, Barack Obama does not have the family structure to handle even a minor crisis. If he can’t handle the “lipstick” crisis, do we feel confident he can handle Russia, China, or North Korea? The answer for me is “no”.

    He brought this on himself and the quicker he fails, the uglier his surrogates behave. There is no leadership at the top.

  • Sammie

    I think what the Obama campaign failed to realize, is that many people watched the clip and truly believe he was playing off of Palin’s lipstick joke based on how the audience reacted (the audience obviously got it, I mean, how often do you see an audience react to an old saying like that). The difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull joke was so wildly known after the convention, that Obama surely can’t claim he didn’t realize people would make the connection.

    Now, to me, this is a case where what he said isn’t as bad as how he responded to the uproar (I would go so far as to say I didn’t think the comment was sexist, I just viewed it as a cheap personal attack). As far as I’m concerned, he tends to be passive aggressive in his personal attacks, and then he always lies, cries foul, and blames everyone but himself when he gets caught. Not exactly new politics.

    “But the context of a campaign event so soon after Governor Palin used lipstick as a swipe at herself is the issue. Obama and his people knew what they were doing and if they didn’t they are dumber than I thought.”

    I think the Obama campaign wanted to get a rise out of the McCain campaign so they could allege all Senator McCain and Governor Palin want to talk about is pigs and lipstick, while Senator Obama is on Olberman and O’Reilly talking about issues this week.

    A half dozen incidents have had people proclaiming that was it for the Senator Obama campaign. He’s still here, the polls indicate the race is nearly tied. He’s down this week, but who knows what the end of the month will bring. There’s basically only four weeks left for one of them to pull ahead, since so many Americans opt for early voting.

    Right now the McCain campaign is riding high on the Governor Palin kite. But will she keep the campaign energized? She’s taken no questions from the media or the public, instead giving versions of her acceptance speech over and over. Once she’s no longer sequestered and they begin campaigning separately, will the McCain campaign continue this high? Or will the kite get wrapped in a tree? If she’s drawing in crowds alone and McCain isn’t, the media is going to note it. And so is the Obama campaign.

    I wouldn’t count Senator Obama out yet. I think the race is going to get messier, meaner and cutthroat. I think it’s impossible to know who will be leading on October 15th.

    The republicans’ lipstick on a pig diversion may be about to turn on them. Flipping channels, I noticed everybody but FOX was talking about it only as an example of the level republican election tactics have descended to. MSNBC was displaying the cover of Torie Clarke’s book with that very phrase as its title, as a pointed demonstration of how common is and exactly how it applies to bogus political posturing.

    Coming when it did, this may totally blow the cover off the republicans’ main campaign tactic. That would leave them with…damn!…the actual issues, and almost 7 long weeks to get totally hammered on them.

    SO… I emplore you to keep pushing lipstick on a pig story, along with any and all other negative crapola you can come up with, for all that you’re worth. It’s finally beginning to focus media attention on something the American voters really need to think about. (Unfortunately for the republicans, what it’s calling attention to doesn’t have anything to do with Barack Obama. Happily the republicans are oblivious to that.)

    PS: It might be useful if you couple further lipstick on a pig efforts with continued accusations that it’s the Obama campaign that is so horribly negative, just to make the hipocricy factor glaringly apparent, too. We’ve had a hard time revealing the extent of McCain hipocricy, and much appreciate your efforts along those lines as well.

    I think Obama has forgotten what office he is running for.
    If he is running for Court Jester, then maybe the snarky comments are the way to go.
    But if he is running for President of the United States of America…well, to take a line from Michele, I think we need to consider his tone.

    Is this the man American’s want in charge of their collective destiny…the “lipstick on a pig” guy?

    andy paul — Obama hates women and demeans women. A woman who challenges him must be put down. No matter that this woman is far more experienced than he is or that she is not running for the same job he is. He will go to the mat to destroy her because how dare she speak as an equal. When his wife was going to get a job at a big law office Obama had to come on the interview with her. The thought of him becoming the president makes me queasy because he brings his muslim impressions of women with him. And he would have so much rage for those women who voted against him.

  • cathnealon

    How anyone at this stage of the game can question whther BO was referring to Palin is unbelievable. His huge ego and narcisisstic elitism would stand in the way of him uttering such common cliches unless it had been scripted and approved and because of the audacity of desperation that is so now apparent whenever he speaks he will say anything. The problem is his people don’t know what the hell they’re doing. They think they’re sitting in Ayers living room figuring out how to funnel state and federal money to their various causes and how to act all detached and revolutionary while exploiting the poor people of Southside Chicago. His desperate audacity is showing, his pure hatred and fear of females is showing, this is a runaway train.

  • Gratified Obama Supporter

    You really ought to promote that, too. Maybe you should try to attribute it directly to Obama. Because once the diversion tactic starts to fail, it’ll all roll back on the people still talking about it.

    I’ll bet you Palin’s actual history on the bridge to nowhere carrys more weight than bogus lunatic-fringe rumors. Maybe the republican could do an attack ad criticizing the democrats for mentioning verifiable facts.

  • Ferd McBerfle

    Well, Me-chelle does wear the lipstick in the her family.

  • s. hall

    PK JAYNE – I have to get this straight. We are poor white trash who cling to our churches and our guns and now we women are the lipstick on McCain’s ticket. We are low information voters who will not vote for someone of color.

    Now BO why would we vote for someone who trashes us and why would we vote for a party who goes along. I have no problem voting for people of color as long as that color is red white and blue. If you Mr. Obama hate this country so much you have no right to lead it.

    Roger Ebert:

    And how can you be her age and never have gone to Europe? … Sarah Palin’s travel record is that of a hopeless provincial. … Palin is a shallow, chirpy person with those vaguely alarming eyeglasses. Now her fans all want a pair. Remember back when women wore glasses that departed their ears in plastic swoops and swirls? My theory is, anyone who wears glasses that look weird is telling me something I don’t want to know. I trust the American people will see through Palin’s facade, and save the Republic in November. The most damning indictment against her is that she considered herself a good choice to be a heartbeat away. That shows bad judgment

  • http://mccaindemocrats.wordpress.com/ 30yrdem-not any more

    I love this….

    Obama’s ‘lipstick on a pig’ comment grabbed all the headlines, but a line he delivered just before that has critics wondering if his speechwriter is a cartoonist.

  • PKJAYNE

    Well said s. hall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You hit it!

  • g8grl

    either that or he’s an idiot. Everyone knows he’s been watching Palin’s speeches as though his life depends on it. To claim that he didn’t realize that the lipstick on a pig cliche wouldn’t be viewed in this context is ridiculous. He knew it and he said it anyway depending on plausible deniability. Look, before the primaries I used to say “I’d vote for a monkey over any Republican.” After the primaries began, I realized that the comment might be taken badly and I changed “monkey” to “rock”. I expect at LEAST as much from my presidential candidate.

  • Firefly

    Wow – this is really interesting – thank you. This part jumped out at me:

    “But Obama brought a special slant to Alinsky’s radicalism.Far from being – as he has been painted – a ‘post-racial’ politician, Obama’s politics are all about promoting the cause of black people and achieving ‘reparations’ from white society (a perspective through which his whole welfare redistribution agenda is framed). Accordingly, he saw his three-year role as a community organiser in Chicago as mobilising black people for action against their white oppressors. Finding himself hampered in creating an activist network among black churches, he decided to join such a church to give himself more credibility. That’s why he joined the infamous black-power Trinity Church of Christ – a move, it seems, that had less to do with any spiritual quest than as a radical tactic for mobilising the black proletariat.”

    The guy is angry – and connected – and dangerous.

    To my vast annoyance I just got a “save democracy” e-mail from a woman I know and don’t like repeating every untrue smear about Palin and asking people not to vote for her. Apparently women who wish to “save democracy” from destruction are putting up a website to gain support. I don’t know if I should write her back or not. She is more conservative tha I’d like but what they was repeated was lies.. AND what they say is that she’s not qualifies. Like Barky IS qualified to be President?!! I haven’t even spoken to this woman in over a year woman for over year and I we didn’t part on good terms and she sends me this frigging thing!!! Sorry for the rant.

    Republican Chick — The Democratic Party in not standing up for woman but instead fanning the flame of Mysogny as well as racism has a lot to answer for here.

And, now, women are not supposed to notice misogynistic references to pigs and fish that even obtuse Obamaniac males immediately picked up on?! It’s a fact: Obama is a psychologically crippled man with the emotional age of a grade-schooler!

    I was listening to talk radio and a women, lifelong republican, called up. She said she is a first grade teacher and Obama reminds her of the type of kid she gets in her class every year, the pathological liar.

  • Monet

    Tied in with Senator Obama’s community organizing are William Ayers, Khalid al-Mansour and Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke.

    One researcher has linked Ayers to Khalid al-Mansour, the guy Sutton said was raising money for Senator Obama’s law education. Another researcher, Judah Benjamin theorizes Sutton was confused and he instead wrote a letter of recommendation for Senator Obama when he was running for the Illinois state senate in the late 90’s and al-Mansour was raising money for the Senator’s campaign. He also theorizes al-Mansour was raising money in Nigeria since his ties to the banking industry there would have given him a source for funds. Al-Mansour would have also crossed paths with Dr. Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, the director of the Nigerian Stock Exchange who was recently arrested for raising money for Obama’s campaign in Nigeria.

    It appears we’re starting to connect the puzzle pieces in how all the nefarious characters in Senator Obama’s background are linked to each other through Saul Alinsky.

    You can read about the Ayers connection to al-Mansour here:

    http://swordattheready.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/puzzle-pieces-obamas-political-career-launched-by-terrorist-william-ayers/

    Judah Benjamin’s article linking Senator Obama to al-Mansour is on Texas Darlin’s blog.

    This is what the second clerk said:

    You can’t put lipstick on a pig! What a pig Palin is! Oh, I just think that pig comment is just perfect! What a pig! HaHaHa

    Well, I just smiled and said nothing. Not worth it.

    But my husband and were talking that the new Democratic Party is a lot like the crass shows on tv and the crass music and the way kids talk today (we have a teenager so we hear it all although she hates Babmi).

    In the wake of her momentous prime time debut,
    optometrists all over the US are getting inquiries from women who want a pair of those “Sarah Palin glasses.” The titanium frames, now achieving cult status, start at around $375 and they’re part of Kawasaki’s 704 series. If you really want to get exact, Palin’s wears the 34 grey style.

    Oh please. There are two ways about this.

    1. Obama is just unbelievably clumsy and stupid.

    2. Obama is an arrogant misogynist pig.

    Actually both are plausible. And we haven’t seen Obama using lipstick yet. But the odds this was not intentional are – sorry and with all due respect – nonexistent.

    And someone needs to pass some laws pretty damn quick to outlaw what the Democrats are doing now. The GOP were never this bad. The Dems are like the amateur trailer park version of the GOP right now.

    I guess I need remind no one that as the Dems have further escalated their attack on the Dames this election is now all about preserving democracy. The people of the US could still turn around and vote in the most dangerous party and individual in the western world. The word has to get out and stay out.

    And, Castro of Cuba, Gaddafi of Libya, Kim Jong of North Korea, Hama of Gaza and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela have all voiced support for Obama.

  • Heather

    Oh lord, let it be soon. Let it be soon.

  • Pink Panther

    UBM,
    No antics on my part but I’m glad I annoy you since you obvious don’t know what you are talking about.

    Your profanity is a give away of lack of knowledge. There’s a great saying, which applies to you.

    “When someone uses profanity to support an argument, it indicates that either the person or argument is weak-probably both.”

    And, you think Obama does not support Republican policies? Let me give you evidence that Obama is Bush 3 and you, UCB, have been bamboozled!

    1. 2005 BUSH/CHENEY ENERGY BILL: Obama voted for the 2005 Cheney-Bush Energy Bill which put billions of taxpayer dollars in the oil and energy companies’ pockets. Obama’s common interest is with Cheney, Bush and the oil and energy companies

    HILLARY AND MCCAIN DID NOT VOTE FOR THE BILL. OBAMA VOTED WITH BUSH & CHENEY.

    2. UNDIVIDED JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL’S CAPITAL: In a speech before AIPAC Obama said, “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.” Soon after Obama said that he “tried to correct the interpretation” of that statement. He switched his position saying that “it’s going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues and Jerusalem will be part of those negotiations.”

    HILLARY AND MCCAIN/PALIN SUPPORT AN UNDIVIDED JERUSALEM. OBAMA HAS FLIP-FLOPPED.

    3. PUBLIC FINANCING: Barack Obama answered a Midwest Democracy Network questionnaire in September 2007 saying that, “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.” Obama ended up following the money and opted out of public financing for the general election.

    HILLARY AND MCCAIN/PALIN SUPPORT PUBLIC FINANCING. OBAMA FLIP-FLOPPED AND IS NOW AGAINST PUBLIC FINANCING.

    4. IRANIAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARD: Obama’s campaign has said more recently that the Senator “has consistently urged that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard be labeled what it is: a terrorist organization.” But before this Obama spent months campaigning on his opposition to and his vote against the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment which did just that. (HILLARY SIGNED THE KYL-LIEBERMAN AMENDMENT.)

    HILLARY AND MCCAIN SUPPORTED LABELING THE GUARD AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. OBAMA VOTED AGAINST THE BILL WHICH LABEL THE IRANIAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARD A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

    5. TERRI SCHIAVO: In March 2005, just weeks before Terri Schiavo died from a painful 14-day starvation and dehydration death, the Republican Congress approved legislation transferring the case from state courts to federal courts, delaying her death. When her brain was later autopsied, there was almost NO brain tissue left.

    “An exhaustive autopsy found that Terri Schiavo’s brain had withered to half the normal size since her collapse in 1990 and that no treatment could have remotely improved her condition” nytimes. com/2005/ 06/16/national/ 16schiavo.

    But Obama voted along with the Republican Congress, along with pro-life Democrats, to have a court intervene rather than have her husband make a decision regarding her life.

    During an April 2007 debate Obama said: “I think professionally the biggest mistake that I made was when I first arrived in the Senate. There was a debate about Terri Schiavo, and a lot of us, including me, left the Senate with a bill that allowed Congress to intrude where it shouldn’t have.”

    During a February 2008 debate Obama was asked name a regret and he said he would like to take back his vote authorizing Congress to intervene to save the life of the brain-injured Florida woman Terri Schiavo.

    HILLARY AND MCCAIN VOTED AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS IN MARCH 2005, WHILE OBAMA SUPPORTED THEM.

    BASED ON THE RECORD-

    OBAMA IS BUSH 3

    You, UCB, are asking for more Republican policies by supporting for Obama. Look at the record and evidence.

    Same thing in San Luis Obispo County. It’s like a virus has taken over their brains or souls.

    My husband pointed out that there has been a flip in the political parties. There was a picture a few weeks ago of John McCain walking with the Dalai Lama while Obama is talking about himself.

    Obama and his minions continue to express a hateful message while McCain and Palin portray a positive image. Obama, his minions and Obama’s Democratic Party truly see women as subservient while McCain and the Republicans appreciate women and see them as equals.

    Obama's Democratic Party: Home of Sexism, Misogyny, Racism, and the Glass Ceiling for Women

    Yes, Heather. That’s why we should simply believe what the government tells us. And the political campaign bosses as well.

    By no means should Sarah Palin be put under any stress. After all, what stress is involved in working at the White House? She can turn the world on with her smile… that’s good enough for me!

  • Joe Biden’s hair plugs speak out!

    Kewl.

    Does that mean you’re going to vote for McCain Palin, now. And also buy a pair of her glasses.

    Oh wait, you called Governor Palin a pig, just like your childish Lord and Master did. You’re a good little Obot!

    (Millionaire – yeah right. If you’re counting cheeto crumbs on the floor.
    The trolls always come up with these exaggerated bios when they’re on the spot.)

  • bert

    Yes, we all do know what Obama did to Hillary (and Bill) in the primary. And with the help of a fawning and complicit media he got away with it. But the republicans, unlike Democrats, defend and support their own and come out fighting, so it is harder for Obama to get away with it now. Yes, sjl106, justice delayed is just as sweet.

    Plus I think McCain took measure of Obama when he flipped on helping McCain on the ethics bill. McCain sent Obama a blistering letter on that flip. And I think he knew then that Obama is an arrogant, empty poser and he knew how to get in to Obama’s head. So far this campaign, McCain is doing an excellent job in skewering this pompous ass the Dems have selected for their candidate.

  • Deep Truths

    You are 100%, absolutely correct.

  • bodemokrat

    That’s right. He’s a playa and women can spot a playa. Some women say – what a jerk and steer
    way clear of these types, others say oooh he’s
    so dreamy and flawed, I bet I can fix him and
    by doing so become the playas plaything.
    I am steering so darn clear of this nitwit I
    am in danger of running off into the ditch.
    But no fear I bet Sarah and John would come by in the pickup and pull me out!

    Governor Srah Palin – the ANTI sex in the city
    Woman!
    I think she is TERRIFIC!

    Ahhh, Heather–how aptly named! Doesn’t she just personify the jealous viciousness that is implied by the name in recent years! And gosh, isn’t she a disgrace to those people named Heather who aren’t dispicable assholes!

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Ewwwww…..someone’s getting a little hysterical, aren’t they? Overly dramatic? Combative? Angered?

    Bwahahahahaa!!

    :lol:

    Poor UBM, he can’t help it…he was born with his pointed head up his ass!

    It’s only gonna get worse, UBM–your Messiah is going down in flames….

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Poor Ebert–the Margaret Thatcher codicil seems to apply at this stage of the game:

    When all they can do is carp/get viciously personal about your physical appearance, and have no substantive remarks to make about your politics and policies, you’ve won….

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Oooooh, someone’s frightened and cranky!

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Ooooh, someone’s REALLY frantic!

    Waaah! Waaaah!

    Your Messiah is on the ropes!

  • http://undercoverblackman.blogspot.com UBM

    And every black person in America will know why.

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    She’s apparently someone who can’t see HERSELF in her own halfassed, terrible, delicate and women-hating commentary:

    “I’m a feminist who understands that women can nurse terrible and delicate woman hatred. ….”

    Her theme song is “JEALOUSY….Night and Day You Torture ME!”

    I also scratch my ass with Emmy Awards.

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    And when BLAME doesn’t work, he resorts to the bitter, angry name-calling of a petulant crybaby, calling his opponent’s running mate a skank — in essence, a pig whose hoo-hah smells bad!!

    You simply have to know when you venture into that sort of territory, your campaign is in real trouble….!

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Uh, no one said that Torie Clark’s hoo-hah smelled bad!

    Obama sure tried like hell to imply that about Palin, which is why the crowd around him reacted with such GLEE.

    Your convoluted excuse-making is a bit FISHY, sorry!

    :roll:

    Be Very Afraid, now!! :lol:

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    So, if I call you a douchebag, that means, definitively, that you ARE a douchebag, eh?

    That’s the logic you’re using.

    If someone else says something about another person, it MUST be true! Never mind what the person being talked about has to say…that’s not germane!

    OK, douchebag–whatever!

    :lol:

  • McCain is Bush

    When you descend from deliberate misunderstandings of what “lipstick on a pig” refers down to suggesting deliberate references to feminine hygiene issues, you’ve pressed yourself down into the sewer about as far as you can go. This reveals far more about those making the suggestion than they probably realize.

    Keep it up. If the McCain campaign keeps throwing sh-t, they’re never going to get the smell washed off their hands. Perceptive voters are beginning to wrinkle their noses already, and they aren’t all looking at Obama when they do it.
