| Melanie Morgan: White trash in the White House? |
| 2008-09-12 |
| Today's venture begins in the pigpen, where liberals wallow in lies, innuendos and depravity unfitting of even the lowliest swine. We've all by now heard about Barack Obama's " lipstick" jab of Gov. Sarah Palin. "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." That was the line that got his supporters howling with laughter. They understood that it was a slight at the woman who has stolen his thunder. No longer are women fainting at Obama's feet as he yammers about change. Instead they are buying up Palin-style Kazuo Kawasaki glasses and getting their hair cut like the Alaska governor. One TV station in Chicago asked women to comment on Obama's "lipstick" comments, and here are a couple of responses: "It's definitely inappropriate -- we also seem to be ignoring the second comment that he made. The comment regarding a fish that stinks and wrapping it in paper -- I'm sorry but any 'lady' would find that comment truly offensive. How would Barack like someone saying that comment when referring to anything to do with his wife? Give me a break. ... I don't know of any woman that would. As a lady I find this disgusting." -- Kim Piskorowski, Des Plaines |

| #9 Trailing Wife and Clownfish, I remember distinctly a group of NOW representatives testifying before the Senate. An elderly Southern senator referred to them as "ladies". The women got all insulted and the Senators wound up apoligizing for calling them ladies. Thus: Not only are they not ladies, but they are proud of not being ladies. Sad but true. |

| #7 I have to agree with Clownfish on this one. Some of the women who support Obama are definitely not ladies, eg the Misses Pamela Anderson and Lindsay Lohan, but Obama is not a defining characteristic. On the other hand, I recall being chastised by one of my colleagues at the lab for calling myself a lady. She thought that having a career and being a lady were mutually exclusive endeavours, which demonstrates her incomplete understanding. Sarah Palin is forcing a reassessment of that for some, which is always uncomfortable. They'll come to terms with it eventually, although not in time to get their man elected. |

| #6 That's one of the most one sided comments I have ever seen. What do you mean the women who support Obama aren't ladies?! That's just ridiculous... |

| #3 Is Obama the best that America's communists have to offer? Why couldn't they have gotten a Khrushchev instead? |

| #2 Isn't it enough to dislike him because he's a communist that probably wasn't even born in this country? Or because he's spent his life in the company of radical anti-American elements? Just throw this on top of the heap of reasons not to vote for him. |

| #1 Real women, the soccer and hockey moms, working women who run to the store after work and those whose work is at home, see something else in Palin. They see real hope, not that mystical snake oil Obama is pushing from atop his Barackopolis. Palin stands for family and she shows it. She stands for those with disabilities instead of standing with those who encourage abortion of those with disabilities. She stands for fewer taxes on working families, and freedom from foreign oil. She stands for all of the Constitution – including the Second Amendment. The vicious and slanderous attacks will continue. Gov. Palin knows it and so does her family. As somebody who has faced the hateful left, I know how brutal the onslaught can be on a day-to-day basis. The attacks have changed the face of this presidential election and laid bare the true intents of Gloria Steinem, Obama and the rest of the two-faced liberals who've marched all over this country for far too long. Obama, the self-described "feminists" and the sinking Democrats are going to have to find another act. The lipstick's off the pigs, and it ain't pretty. |
