From the Wall Street Journal:
What’s the difference between a more hopeful kind of politics and old-fashioned attacks? Lipstick.
Barack Obama says the John McCain-Sarah Palin policies don’t represent change, they’re “just calling the same thing something different.”
“You can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig,” Obama said during a town-hall style event here Tuesday night.
The comment harked back to Palin’s joke during the Republican National Convention when she said lipstick is the only difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom.
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.”
She’s been labeled a pig because she disagrees with you? You sexist ____. She’s three times the person you’ll ever be. And you mark this now: this is the beginning of your political demise, for you have most assuredly pissed off a massive amount of your former voters. Keep it up.
Speaking at a high school in Norfolk, Obama took a few moments to address what he calls “the made-up controversy” of the day, Amie Parnes reports.
Obama said the McCain campaign moved to “seize an innocent remark and take it out of context because they knew it’s catnip for the news media.”
“See, it would be funny, but the news media decided that would be the lead story yesterday. This happens every election cycle. Every four years, this is what we do. This is what they want to spend two of the last 55 days talking about — Enough!” he said.
Obama called the attacks “lies, outrage and swift boat politics.”
“These are serious times and they call for a serious debate…spare me all the phony outrage. Spare me all the phony talk about change.”
That’s what kind of president you’re going to get with Barack Hussein Obama: blaming the victim apparently works for him.

Now Now BZ, lets not let our emotions get the best of us.. LOL
I pretty much expected that type of response after the speech, I told the wife there is another analogy that would show up soon enough and that was my exact quote to her.
The Demorats are scared to death, they have over-ran the small towns of Alaska to find the 20% that dont approve of Sarah, and get all the soundbites that will make good quips in the MSM.
Scared Demorats are a good thing. They go good with whine…LMAO
Now BZ, don’t sugar coat it, tell him how you really feel!! HAHAH
Barrack HUSSEIN NObama is a empty bag of chips!! My best example for him is that he reminds me of a singer lip syncing the lyrics!!! Looks good on stage, but all fake!!!
He will continue to drive voters away with his BS. Time will tell brother, he will go down!
And it’s like anyone thought the halfbreed son of a bitch had ANY class??
Why you gotta be so vague?
Okay, fine, message received, I toned things down. But to say what he did about Sarah Palin in a public venue — let’s just say I hit 210/190, and leave it at that. After a good night’s sleep and a clearance of the vapors, I’ll be writing more; you can BET on that.
But hey, Obama, a ton of voters are about to go Yamamoto on your ass.

Kinda knew if he had enough rope he’d wrap it around his neck .. and he’s only just begun. All his friends in on the left are even helping him tighten it….
I cant wait for Ballsack or MissHell to blurt of McCain that Honkey MF. Then it will finnally be over.
Now THATS entertainment!
Popcorn!!
This is the most entertaining fight since… well… damn, how long has the D party been away from the primaries?
Yes, popcorn! The McCain campaign has brought us hours of endless entertainment…
Time to get to the East Sen. McCain, the iron is not getting any hotter there and SD is not going to be decisive this year. Spend your political capital well, as you are unlikely to get more.
bz,
You’ll love my recent post.
I was predicting that the Donks would have a serious case of buyer’s remorse and feel vindicated. This guy is not only the first black man to win the nomination but is also the first certifiably crazy nominee (that I know of.)
Will they suddenly change nominees? They’ve done it before for other offices.

“Will they suddenly change nominees? They’ve done it before for other offices.”
They better hurry they have less than a month before most states close the window for getting on the ballot.
I doubt it. They are completely SOLD on Obama and will hold their mud on him. Won’t it be interesting to see how it all pans out, considering the massive amount of assistance provided by the Mainstream Media — and the fact that he’s running against the RINO and the PIG?
