Yeah, the comments about the 5 kids was worse, imo, than the pig comment. He can't be ridiculing Palin and McCain in one sentence, using metephors like pigs and old fish, and then turn around the next sentence and expect people to believe he was suddenly praising Palin.

No, it was a dig intended to disparage Palin's ability to be a mom and work as VP. Arrogant, condescending, and very snarky.

That's exactly what you're doing though. They were pointing out how stupid you and the other Neocons sound. That's exactly what you are doing and yet you claim that kind of logic makes it impossible to debate, even though that is YOUR LOGIC!

Are we seriously discussing this? Some of McCain/Palin supporters here cry foul when something is said about her background, but then try to take political advantage for an issue like this.

The reality is that tomorrow this is going to be old news and no one would even remembered it coming November. McCain/Palin supporters should try not to overreach and try to make this race to personal IMO, people get tired of the same, plus is diluting the message that McCain/Palin are trying to get out.

In regards to the comment I think it was nothing, it was a pretty straight foward comment trying to link McCain/Palin with Bush policies, of course every person would see, hear and interpret as they wish so there is no point in even arguing the matter.

I agree with Obama,

"You can put lipstick on a pig"

From my experience this is true...

I watched Fox tonight and even Reverend Mike Huckaby defended this as just an expression, one that he himself used many times from the pulpit, and as I heard it I really do not think Obama intended it as a sexist remark and in political terms if Palin did not say her lipstick joke no one would have thought twice about it, I think the timing of this is more of a coincidence than calculation.

Just google "palin pig" and see the fury that is being brought down on Obama right now. This is not going away tomorrow. It may not decide the election but I would suspect that women that see this will not be impressed.

The whole speech was rambling as well. He sounded like a preacher one minute then in another he sounded like a sexist woman hater. He wasn't even coherent in some of his ramblings which makes it even worse.

You put together a poorly delivered rambling speech and add a pig remark against Palin and you get a video clip that will have women in this country shaking their heads and wondering if this is their guy....

Well, let's be fair. Obama doesn't likely think Palin is a pig. BUT I do believe he did intend to imply an insult nonetheless.
