NO, he didn’t go too far. He needs to be more aggressive against that liar, Sarah Palin.
ACCOUNT SUSPENDED
LOL!!!
Of course he did. He was saying that when Sarah Palin says she is going to Washington to "CHANGE" things, like foreign policy etc etc; it isn't "CHANGE", (then what is?) It's just lipstick on a pig. Sarah Palin is just another "pig" (with lipstick) going to washington saying she's going to change things. He couldn't have meant anything else, because changing foriegn policy, and changing domestic policies on a variety of issues IS change.
Not only did he call sarah a pig with lipstick, He called her a LYING pig with lipstick.
I know. I just figure the folks who run and patronize MSNBC are dumb enough to take bad advice and run with it - I'm just carrying some amplified bad advice to them.

Not! He was talking specifically about McCain and Palin going to Washington and "changing" how things are done there. "That isn't change" he said. "that's just lipstick on a pig". How anyone can construe that to mean he was talking about the Bush admin is beyond belief.
MSNBC? You gotta be kidding.Demented Waldo (K.O.) is probably at the keyboard furiously voting hundreds of times.

Hi - I pulled this off World Net Daily just a few minutes ago.
Obama stated yesterday:
“’Watch out, George Bush, except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics – we’re really going to shake things up in Washington!’ That’s not change ... you know, you can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.”
There was a political cartoon re: Sarah and McCain and in part McCain said:”
WND ELECTION 2008
Obama plagiarized ‘lipstick speech’?
Comments almost word-for-word copy of Washington Post political cartoon

Remarks by Sen. Barack Obama yesterday leading up to his controversial “lipstick on a pig” jab at the McCain campaign mirror almost word-for-word a political cartoon published last week in the Washington Post.
Much has been made of Obama criticizing McCain’s idea of “change” by stating, “You can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.” Taking it as an attack McCain’s vice-presidential running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, the campaign responded with a video on the Internet today.
But less attention has been paid to Obama’s statements just preceding the lipstick reference, which appear to be an un-attributed copy of the caption in a Washington Post political cartoon by Tom Toles Sept. 5.
Obama stated yesterday:
“’Watch out, George Bush, except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics – we’re really going to shake things up in Washington!’ That’s not change ... you know, you can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.”
(Story continues below)
The political cartoon, also mocking McCain’s and Palin’s concept of change, stated four days earlier:
“Watch out, Mr. Bush! With the exception of economic policy and energy policy and social issues and tax policy and foreign policy and Supreme Court appointments and Rove-style politics, we’re coming in there to shake things up!”
The similarities between the cartoon and Obama’s speech were first noticed by users at the Free Republic website.
Read the whole thing on World Net Daily.

The Dems had this image on their website .....
Hence Obama is either vicious or stupid.
If he simply recited an old adage which he has used in the past, then he is stupid for not noticing that a line that used to get a yawn or a giggle suddenly caused the crowd to erupt in shouts and shrieks of laughter.
Or he is just vicious for using a slur yesterday, and not apologizing for it today.
Palin’s statement said hockey moms were LIKE pitbulls, not that they WERE pit bulls. Obama’s statement flat out calls Palin a pig and McCain an old fish. Palin was understood to be talking about the tenacity and strength of a pit bull. Obama had no such qualification implied in his remark. It was simply a mean spirited attack.
Yes, he has crossed the line this time.
