		<description>TO: All
RE: So....

....we give the &#039;pig&#039; comment a &#039;rest&#039;.

And what does Obama trot out next? 

McCain can&#039;t use a computer....as though he&#039;s a latter day Luddite. 

I tell ya, the beatings and propaganda are just going to get worse until this latter-day school yard bully is dealt a harsh lesson.

I&#039;m open to suggestions on how to go about doing that.

Regards,

Chuck(le)

		<description>People have pretty good BS detectors, especially women. The public can view the video and make up their own minds.

Palin has been in politics a long time. I doubt if it made her cry. In fact, quite the contrary, the gaffe was an enormous gift to her campaign. The Republicans would be fools not to take advantage of it.

The entire incident points out that Obama isn&#039;t infallible or perfect. In fact, lately, he&#039;s proving to be quite a klutz. He&#039;s speaking ability also seems to have vanished. While name calling is pretty harmless, the speech, in my opinion, made him look like a typical Chicago politician. He ain&#039;t the Messiah anymore.</description>

		<description>Purely as a reaction to what Obama said, the McCain campaign&#039;s response the &quot;lipstick&quot; remark is excessive.  And I&#039;m sure they know it, because Palin has been subjected to incredible smears and has brushed them off like flies.  I think the real issue McCain is addressing in this response to &quot;lipstick&quot; is the aura of exceptionalism that has surrounded Obama since his campaign started. One of the fundamental pretenses of the Obama campaign is that *we* (ObamaNation) are inclusive and sensitive, but *they* aren&#039;t. McCain&#039;s cheap shot--although I stress that it&#039;s nowhere near as cheap as many taken by Obama--annnounces that McCain and his supporters are not in on the fix. In other words, precisely because the sexism charge is a cheap shot, it reveals that Obama&#039;s whole campaign is built around exactly that cheap shot, and how cheap it is.  This will smoke out Obama&#039;s self-righteousness, to his detriment: he won&#039;t sound so sensitive when he has to insist explicitly that he&#039;s the one who really understands and respects women. That sort of thing should go without saying if it&#039;s to go at all. 

That said, I think a little bit of this strategy can go a long way, and McCain has gotten all there is to get from it for the time being. The harpoon is in: let the whale writhe around for a while. He&#039;ll soon slow down.</description>

		<description>&quot;When anyone says anything that can even be remotely thought of as an indication of racism the Obama people are all over them.&quot;

That&#039;s because white guilt is much of what Obama has going for him, and he knows it. What do you expect him to do - point to his &quot;resume?&quot;

All this hopeychangey Obamessiah worship boils down to a single basic premise: that a little melanin is an adequate substitute for experience, broad-mindedness, and plain old-fashioned competence. of course this reality is unspoken for the most part. Leftists are too dishonest Republicans too afraid to admit it.</description>

		<description>When anyone says anything that can even be remotely thought of as an indication of racism the Obama people are all over them.  But when the tables are turned, the same people just cannot understand why anybody could make such a big deal out of what was OBVIOUSLY just a gaffe.  It reminds me of parents of spoiled brats.  When their child hits another kid its just an indication that their child is independent and strong-willed.  When the other kid hits them back and the brat starts crying its evidence that the child who defended himself has deep sociopathic tendencies. Double standards are always ugly.</description>
