Two lowbrow attacks, not one.
1. lipstick=meme directly related to Governor Palin. meme (pronounced /miːm/)[1] consists of any idea or behavior that can pass from one person to another by learning or imitation.) 2. stinking fish=barracuda, as in the nickname given Governor Sarah Palin in her college basketball days.
I was there, yesterday in Lebanon Virginia. He was taking multiple shots at Governor Sarah Palin and this one and the following attack went low brow. I went their to confront Obama but knew in my heart, as I stood there, I should let him self destruct. There were several other covert operatives and a couple confronted Obama at the very end of the event. If we had been better organized we would have booed his first attack and he may never have uttered the second. I have no regrets and anyone attending his events from our camp needs to be as wise as a serpent so as to preempt any possible backlash sympathy it might generate. It is important to note that though the hall was packed with dem party regulars and Obama devotees, the response was tepid compared to his early events. Only a couple standing ovations were of the entire crowd.
Nobama is morphing into Rev. Wright before our eyes.....
Thank you for your report.
What, no one fainted? He definitely is losing it.
No surprise there, as Wright was his mentor for 20 yrs..no matter how loud Obama denies it.
Not to mention the fact that gays use “fish” to insult women. (I learned that while working in the theater.) So that’s THREE insults in one!
Biden too. Give him enough air time and he will hang himself.
Thanks. AOL Pravda is reporting, “Republicans squeal about Obama quip.” That’s right off an Obama campaign release I’m sure. The commies at AOL or Asspress aren’t that clever.
As Tony the Tiger would say:
“That’s Grrrreeeeeaaaaaaatttttt”
thanks for that report
I heard at one rally he had attacking Palin on the bridge, I just wished I was there as I would have shouted out
you and Biden voted for it didn’t you
Unfortunately this negativity is not showing up as it should in the poll numbers. We need to fight this snake hard and get the voters out for McCain in our states and especially the swing states.
How'd it feel, being surrounded by so many idiots? It must've been other-worldly...
what was with that audience most of them looked like freaks, women looking butch and the men looking like girls
There was a man skinny man at the front who put his thumbs down , really weird looking
o and those people who cheered at that should be ashamed of themselves
I personally see FOUR insults:
1. Sexist - Pig referring to Sarah Palin as a female.
2. Racial - Swine/pig is a racial slur used against whites referring to pinkness of skin, etc. used by blacks. See Racial Slur Database. Same level as the N***** word.
3. Religious slur - Check out the muslem koran and hadiths: Jews are called apes, and Christians are referred to as 'pigs'. This slur is particularly interesting as Obama makes the slip 'my moslem faith' just 2 days ago.
4. Fish being a word used by gays to insult women - sexist slur used twice by both 'pig' and 'fish'.
He's on a roll...........
But how would Obama possibly know that?
5 insults in 1:
Barracuda;
Palin is a Christian (fish symbol) & her faith "just happened" to be hit up by CNN & others only 2 days before;
her husband Todd Palin is a licensed fisherman & it's a slam @ Alaska where fish is a major industry.
as you said, potential female reference
As others have said, it was also a team/ticket insult directly aimed at McCain's stiff appearance
Do you think Nobama was referring to the “barracuda” remark for Gov. Palin? Sounded like it.
Actually- my first reaction was that he was referring to McCain as the old stinkin fish...
This comment is not meant to be a wisecrack or insulting in any way.
But this canard has been around so long it is surprising to find someone that isn’t aware of it.
When I first heard of the FISH remark I didn’t think of McCain at all.
I immediately took it to be a vile, disgusting reference to Sarah.
I think Obama has been the media’s Teflon Golden Boy for so long that he thought the media could protect him from everything.
Up until now anyone that tried to make an honest criticism of Obama was ostracized in the press and on the tube.
He has played the race card and the sex/gender card over and over and gotten away with it.
Look how condescending he was to Hillary, yet the media protected him every step of the way.
But McCain is a fighter pilot.
Hillary is just a corrupt lawyer, with no executive experience.
Your spot on there, I have a family member that is a homosexual. FISH is a common refrain for women when not in mixed company. They will even playfully jab at some of their women friends with that moniker, if their friend isn’t too sensitive about that kind of trash talking. However, when their fighting mad, FISH is one of the kinder insults among many insulting references they will make about the physical and other aspects of female genitalia.
I’d vote for “Lipstick” over “Dipstick” anytime!
I think Sarah Palin is really a great choice for VP. Go to the link below to see a my photo montage that sums it up for me!

Quite a few foaming-at-the-mouth types but only about 100 or so dirty hippies(pot smoking earth firster types). Plenty of top bleacher seats left. Lots of standing room. By some reports about 2,000 small town Americans compared to McCain/Palin 25k Fairfax, Virginia rally. I encourage you to confront Senator Obama at every location, if you promise to be articulate and avoid potential backlash sympathy. I was able to get within ten feet of his speaking platform. Of course the SS and his flaks seemed to be watching me like a hawk. Several people were wearing the Bill Ayers beret uniform look. Wasn’t really “other-wordly.” Look we have lots of socialist institutions: Social Security, fanie mae, foods stamps, free ER visits, etc. they just want more. The default internal philosophy is more Equality of Condition than Equality of Opportunity. Maybe a barracuda could demonstrate why the later should be our destiny. Until then I will cling to my religion and keep praying.
I had supervisor about 16 years ago that got into deep kimchee (hounded into early retirement deep kimchee) for stating the following about a female subordinate (a co-worker of mine):
“She’s like a fish out of water.” Nothing gets you in trouble at a government gig quicker than some sexism. Or the perception of sexism. The funny thing is, the context in which he made the statement was understood by just about everybody as a comment on her job skills and capbillities. But that is not how the EEOC panel took it.
Did not play so well then.
I personally don’t think 0bama knows that a barracuda is a fish.
Even better he might have lost it. As long as you don't look like the nasty/crazy ones. A simple booing would have been fine.
Don’t let the Dems get away with these low brow attacks. Don’t sink to their level but don’t just take it like Hillary did—see what it got her.
I really wish people would exercise restraint as you did and just let the bombamiester self destruct in front of the world.
However, the next move by McCain should be to refuse debates....then watch obama yell and scream!
The leaders in a campaign don’t neet to debate, only the losers!
Get it cemented in everyone’s mind that obama is soooo history that McCain don’t even need to debate him and he is gone!
Captured and saved.
BTTT
BTTT
But this guy—Larry Sinclair—claims Obama does participate in gay sex.

Biden’s son (Attorney General-DE) has been keeping Larry Sinclair quiet in whatever way he can.
