All they have to do is say that contextually he was referring to their new 'change' campaign as the pig, not any individual.

The fact that they are not making this assertion is proof that Obama was in-fact referring to Sarah Palin in his comments.

And this is supposed to be the 'high road' that Obama is taking? I'd hate to see what his version of the 'low road' is.

The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.

Ridiculous.

Dem code word for "Sarah is kicking our a**!"

Do these talking heads even realize that they are throwing themselves under the bus and destroying any shred of credibility they may have when they try to make this assertion and deny that it is a direct reference to Sarah Palin?

The only person that looks ridiculous here is Linda Douglass.

Don't you know she is kicking herself for ditching a career as a journalist she can never return to and be taken as objective to shill for this idiot.  You can see it in her face that she can't believe he really said that and now she has to go out and get hammered for trying to spin it.

Here is comes folks!

Finally the BHO campaign is going into a death sprial!

Oh I just friggin LOVE it!

Watch out foe the liberals "warning" about the riots that will occur if BHO isn't elected!  They really DO want to scare White America into electing this EMPTY BLACK SUIT!

It may be ridiculous, but he said it.

Didn't he!

Let's not forget that Obama's campaign is one being guided by the careful framing of messages, as directed by Dr. George Lakoff.

When we hear both candidates introduce a meme in the daily dose of carefully parsed media bite, followed up by media kits with the same phrase and message, the message is not accidental. For the media to infer that Barry merely misspoke, or used an innocent expression many have used before, is an insult to our intelligence.This is one of the most highly coordinated campaigns on the daily selective framing of messages.

Incidentally, had Barry been an executive in our firm, he'd likely be scheduled for a sexual harassment workshop today, having used inappropriate inferences toward  a female subordinate of a peer executive. "Smelly fish" inferences to woman are absolutely inappropriate, and as sexual harassment law goes, it's the use of demeaning language and its capacity to cause the target of the language to feel demeaned in a hostile environment that is of matter, not the alleged intent of the speaker. When in doubt, you simply don't utter such questionable lines. Smelly fish and pig analogies to women might amuse a junior high school boy, but have no place in the office.

Barry's reach-out to women can now be recognized as little more than a reach to pat them on the rear. It's consistent with his status as the campaign that has the most unequal pay for its women employees. As long as the women know their place as pretty little things and are "seen but not heard," they're accepted in Barry's office environment.

Was just listening to BHO's comments he is, brushing off the lipstick comment as meaningless.  The problem is, the crowd he was speaking to took it the same way we are, judging by their cheering. Hussein just ensured another few days of news cycle for this story.

Can there really be any doubt about what Barack Obama meant when he said this?!

Yesterday's lipstick on a pig comment was, I suspect, even more planned out, than Obama's "flipping off Hillary" stunt.

Obama knew that he could pull this off.  He intended poke fun at Palin, via the skit, but it was planned so that the context was in line with comments about McCain - stabs at the usual targets.

As the moment approached, Obama grinned ear to ear, stuttered, looked around the room making eye contact -- getting the crowd to anticipate what was coming - and then he pulled it out and planted the bait. The crowd knew something was coming - he made sure of that. This is a deliberate effort by the Obama camp to bait the McCain camp, conservative bloggers, and of course, Fox News.

(Warner's catch of the cartoon, indeed might also be a part of this effort)

The Obama finger:

Obama is experienced at this: one might reflect back on the speech, when Sen. Obama flipped off (gave her the infamous finger) Hillary Clinton from the podium. That was thought out, in advance, of the moment. As he got closer and closer to doing it, he started stuttering, making eye contact with a few folks, and grinning ear to ear, and then he did it.  He knew it was coming -- perhaps the grin and the hem hawing around was because he wanted to do it - knew he shouldn't, but just couldn't stop it... oh, crap -- here it comes anyway! One can almost hear his inner voice talking.. "Damn.. I shouldn't do this.. Oh oh - here it comes."
And he gets away with it.

This skit was better planned; I suspect as a bait for the right. They sit back and waited - and today? Millions of Obama followers, and members of the left-wing MSM are empowered to believe that it is all about the Right-wing media. He won. The bait was taken. Now, it's up to perhaps NB, and Fox news, to jump on the analysis - and challenge Obama on the stunt.

It's that you can't question what might offend someone.  It might seem silly, but if they find it offensive we need to cater to them. 

And now the lefties are screaming "Look!  How "ridiculous" that they find this offensive!"  Their hypocricy is astounding!

Oh I saw this early this morning...poor Linda feels something slippin'...she was not a very happy camper, now was she...

I absolutely got glee from her anger...and she was.

...and poor ol' Andrea...she's just lost in the desert...

I had so much fun watching this all.
