AFP: Obama: McCain-Palin change mantra is 'lipstick on a pig'
Ya, they sound awfully sexist!

However, this was all part of Rove's plan (he's ugly and evil but he ain't stupid)....ANYTHING, ANYTHING the Democrats will say that has anything even vaguely to do with women will be taken as a insult to Palin...the repubs are going to play this "poor little picked on Sara" routine to the hilt...Suck it up , SARA!

Exactly. Axiom my rear. That is exactly the reason I added in who/what he was referring to. Not even the hardcore feminists threw a fit about it and tried to construe that he was calling her a pig. If this is an indication of what presidential races will degrade to any time a woman runs in the future I don't want another woman to run and I am a woman.

It does sound more and more like she is actually a chihuahua with lip stick.

If Palin were to say

"If you put a hat on a black man or a white man, the hat is still the same" would she have been denounced for that by Obama as racist?

YOU BET TO HELL THAT SHE WOULD???? HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT?

In the long run people especially women are really disliking him and the MEDIA. imo.
Would you people stop speaking on behalf of ALL women, or ALL white women, or whatever?!! For the record, I'm white, I'm a woman, I shop at Walmart, and I'm for Obama! And please, suddenly women everywhere are supposed to be offended by his lipstick comment, after she's been slinging mud at him all week? We're not ALL stupid.

The crowd was laughing before he finished. They knew, as I know, exactly were he was going.
