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...
