You Can Put Lipstick on a Socialist—But He’s Still a Socialist (Putting lipstick on Obozo)
Townhall ^ | 9/14/08 | Doug Giles

Posted on 09/14/2008 1:42:40 AM PDT by JohnHuang2

Did Obama put the pig dig to Palin this past week in Virginia? Personally, I think he did, nearly everyone else thinks he did, and judging from his fawning audience’s reaction they thought he did. But since he’s the Holy One and all that he says and does is just and true, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt, okay? Continues...

================================================================

Putting lipstick on Obozo

Democrats have spent weeks accusing Gov. Sarah Palin of lying about her pregnancy and accusing her daughter of lying about her pregnancy and attacking Sarah as a bad mother and comparing her to Pontius Pilate, Islamic radicals, a whip-wielding dominatrix and to "lipstick" on a pig. Now Democrats say they're ready to take the gloves off!

After a difficult week for Obama, which followed a difficult week for Obama, Reuters reports that the messiah "fired back" at John McCain with "new ads" mocking McCain as old-fashioned and "out of touch". Obama has been rattled and flustered in the weeks since "out-of-touch" McCain picked young Sarah Palin for VP, eclipsing the messiah's choice of a 66-year-old windbag (whose name escapes me) as his assistant messiah.

Obama campaign honcho David Plouffe, heralding the new ads in a memo sent to "reporters" (or, as I prefer, Democrats with press passes), wrote that "today" was a historic day -- "the first day of the rest of the campaign," in which the effete Ivy League lawyer Obama 'takes off the gloves', which makes this the fourth time this year.

Almost half the voters in a new AP poll say Hussein lacks the proper experience to be president and he now trails McCain in almost every poll despite those Greek columns erected at his Temple coronation, so now his campaign geniuses have come up with another idea -- running ads accusing McCain of not using a computer and not knowing how to e-mail. No doubt this will electrify voters! Accusing someone who can fly fighter jets of being too dumb to use a computer is a real winner.

Plouffe revealed in his memo that the reason they're going after McCain's lack of computer and typing skills is because "this election is too important and the challenges too big to spend the next 54 days talking about trivial non-issues."

But Obama's opposition researchers apparently were so deeply immersed in an even 'bigger issue' -- how long has Bristol been pregnant? -- that they missed the real reason McCain doesn't e-mail or use a keyboard: The barbaric treatment he got at the hands of his Viet Cong captors.

While Obama's oppo A-listers were busy trying to determine the size of Bristol's belly, the Drudge Report on Friday unearthed a Boston Globe article (dated March 4, 2000), which read: "McCain gets emotional at the mere mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan -- Ted Williams is his hero -- but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball." Obama is apparently too dumb to use Google.

Looking at the big picture, meandering from issue to issue aimlessly and tossing laughingly refutable charges against the wall, as Obama's doing, is what happens when your campaign is fully engaged in meltdown mode. And everything keeps backfiring. The dumb, fading celebrity says he wasn't thinking of Gov. Palin when he made his 'lipstick' remark, which got hoots and hollers from his audience. Every major newspaper had "LIPSTICK" in very bold print across its front page the morning after Palin's speech at the convention, but Obama wasn't thinking of Palin at all when he said 'lipstick'! No, no, no -- he was thinking of McCain.

(Back in May, Obambi had a sissy fit because Bush had used the word "appeasement" in a speech before the Israeli Knesset, which Obozo assumed to be an 'attack' on him, even though Bush never mentioned Obama anywhere in his speech. Obama mentioned Palin repeatedly in his speech on 'lipstick' which supposedly was not about Palin.)

At a campaign event in New Hamphire yesterday, Obama had another sissy fit, accusing McCain and Palin of 'distracting' him with lipstick. "They've been talking about lipstick and they've been talking about pigs!", screamed Obama, who can't seem to stop talking about lipstick or talking about pigs.

By week's end, Hussein's lackeys at the New York Times were hard at work investigating Beehive Beauty Shop in Wasilla, which Gov. Palin patronized for the last six years. They're carefully probing and analyzing Palin's hair locks because "hairstyles help answer the voters' throw-down question: 'Who does she think she is?'" (Joe Biden's question: 'Is that her own hair?')

Then the NYT drops this bombshell: "During Palin's appointments, Mrs. Steele [the beauty salon owner], divorced and financially stressed, confided in her client. 'Sarah was always saying that GOD WAS IN CONTROL and to HAVE FAITH THAT THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING'"!!! And, in even further horror to the NYT, Mrs. Steele said "'We would say it together.'" S c a n d a l o u s! Worse than Palin's war crimes against courageous moose.

Things lately have been going so swimmingly for McCain/Palin, even totally 'unbiased' and 'impartial' Charlie Gibson is frustrated, the poor little thing. Billed as Palin's first solo interview, Palin was so in command that by the end of the thing it looked more like Charlie Gibson's first solo interview, ever. Gibson flubbed the Bush Doctrine, blundered through Palin's past statements, and had not yet found out that Reagan won the Cold War. But! Too scripted; no foreign policy experience; a paltry two years in the current job -- but enough about Charlie Gibson.

The problem with the Democrats' lame-o 'inexperience' meme is that Palin has gobs of executive experience, in contrast to Obama, whose primary qualification for president is that he voted to stack up hospital utility rooms with dead babies who initially survived abortion. Yet another reason why Obama will be giving a concession speech next November.

Anyway, that's...
My Two Cents...

Good morning John. Nice piece.

I am enjoying with salacious glee observing the entire dim conglomorate’s panic stricken reaction since Palin’s being selected.

Shoot, that, coupled with football season and cooler weather coming, has me happier than a possum in the brier patch.

“...attacking Sarah as a bad mother and comparing her to Pontius Pilate.”

Actually, Obama is much more like Pontius Pilate. When it came time to decide on Christ’s fate, Pilate voted ‘present’.

Plouffe revealed in his memo that the reason they're going after McCain's lack of computer and typing skills is because "this election is too important and the challenges too big to spend the next 54 days talking about trivial non-issues."
Back when there was such a thing as a typewriter Indeed, when PCs first came into the office setting, the use of them by professionals was frowned on because word processing was perceived as being a glorified typewriter - and operating a typewriter positioned you as "not being professional." It was beneath your pay grade.

Obviously that attitude is a thing of the past; now college students use laptops very routinely, and professionals using computers would naturally be expected to have the ability to produce highly polished reports without the need for a secretary. Now Barak Obama, young whippersnapper that he is, proudly advertises his attitude that not the use but the inability to use a keyboard is a disability for the highest level of executive in the country. But President of the United States is an office whose rank and importance rates whatever level of professional, let alone secretarial, support the nation can offer.

Operating a computer is below John McCain's pay grade.

Speaking of the difference between typewriters and computers puts me in mind of the reason for the failure of Burkett's "Killian Memo" fraud. Burkett didn't know how easy it was to tell a Microsoft Word document from a typewritten one.

You can put lipstick on a revolutionary communist who sided with the Viet Cong and waged war on his own country, but he is still a revolutionary communist who sided with the Viet Cong and waged war on his own country

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

[Obama] is named Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge founded by Bill Ayers
(article typo has Ayers instead of Obama)

In late 1993, Bill Ayers, now an associate professor of education at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus, organized a team to put together a grant proposal to secure nearly $50 million from the Annenberg Challenge. The money was to be used by Ayers and co. to bolster the radical Local School Councils reform project that Ayers and Obama had championed back in 1988 through the ABCs.

The grant application was successful and in early 1995 Barack Obama was named chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Ayers was named co-chair of the Challenge’s operative and strategic body, the Chicago School Reform Collaborative. Ayers and Obama work together for the next five years on raising an additional $60 million in matching money from local foundations and corporations and using the money to intervene in the governance of the Chicago public schools.

The Challenge through a multi-million dollar Leadership Development Initiative intervened in the School Council elections in the middle of what was known as the Chicago School Wars. At the same time Chicago Mayor Richard Daley was pushing, successfully, to gut the power of the Councils.

"The Small Schools Workshop was founded in 1991 at the University of Illinois at Chicago to provide support for teachers who were trying to create new smaller learning environments. Its director is Michael Klonsky, a former professor of education at UIC."

________________________________________________________

Some background on Bill Ayers' SDS comrade, Michael Klonsky
(Chicago Annenberg Challenge-related)

"One of Bill Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s comrades in the late 60s Students for a Democratic Society was Mike Klonsky. When Dohrn and Ayers moved in one direction toward the violent tactics of the Weather Underground, Klonsky, in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, dropped the pro-Russian communist politics of his parents and became a committed Maoist. As leader of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) in 1977 [not to be confused with Communist Party USA. CPML no longer exists, CPUSA formed decades earlier and is still around-ETL], he travelled to Beijing and was toasted by the senior Beijing leadership.

When the crazy left of the 70s died in the 80s, Klonsky went to graduate school in education in Florida and then moved to Chicago.

While driving a cab there he [Michael Klonsky] was recruited by his old friend Bill Ayers to head up a new project called the Small Schools Workshop in 1991. It’s offices were in the Department of Education building at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus where Ayers taught.

In 1995 the newly formed Chicago Annenberg Challenge headed by Ayers and Obama gave the Workshop a grant of $175,000.

The Annenberg Challenge also had its office space in the same building as Ayers Department and the Workshop, rent free courtesy of the University.

In 2008 Klonsky ran a blog on the official Obama campaign website on education policy and “social justice” teaching. When discussion of the Klonsky blog emerged in the blogosphere, it was promptly shut down by the campaign and all of the posts made by Klonsky were removed from the site."

________________________________________________________

In 1977, the October League was reorganized as the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) [again, not Communist Party USA (CPUSA) -ETL] and former SDS activist Michael Klonsky became party chairman. Also in 1977, Klonsky traveled to China and the CPML was recognized by the Chinese Communist Party as its official sister party in America.

(snip)

In January 1981, Michael Klonsky resigned as party chairman, and the CPML disbanded that same year.

The previous Red Encyclopedia description of the CPML was incorrectly combined with that of the Communist Party USA (Marxist-Leninist).

Bill Ayers TODAY (April 6, 2008), from his own red communist star-headed website, begging to debate communism vs capitalism with Sean Hannity and STILL calling for revolution!


"Imperialism. I’m against it, and if Sean Hannity and others were honest, this is the ground they would fight me on. Capitalism played its role historically and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution—a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love, cooperation and the common good —must win.

We begin by releasing our most hopeful dreams and our most radical imaginations: a better world is both possible and necessary.

http://billayers.wordpress.com/2008/04/page/2/

________________________________________________________

"a better world is both possible and necessary"?

Looks to me like Bill Ayers stole (or borrowed) this phrase from Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Both the Weather Underground and RCP have roots in the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) organization.

________________________________________________________

"The following is an excerpt from an historic talk by Chairman Bob Avakian, soon to be available on video and DVD from Three Q Productions-REVOLUTION: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible, What It's All About. This talk, delivered in 2003, followed by questions and answers, is a wide- ranging revolutionary journey, covering many topics."

You can put lipstick on a Socialist, but he’s still a Socialist Pig!

I was going to protest your characterization of Obama like this but then realized you were just calling a spade...a spade.

That is an old saying, isn't it?!

The problem with the Democrats' lame-o 'inexperience' meme is that Palin has gobs of executive experience, in contrast to Obama
It is not executive experience (i.e., what she may have learned on the job) nearly so much as it is executive track record which Palin has and Obama lacks. Gov. Palin can talk about pushing the reset button on dealings with the oil companies and ultimately cutting a $40 billion deal for the construction of a natural gas pipeline with a different vendor than prior administrations in Juno had considered. Obama can talk about running his presidential election campaign (but isn't about to open to the public his decision making process on that. For all we know, he may have cut ethical corners that we won't find out about until after the election).

Manifestly, Gov. Palin knows how to get things done. And Senator Obama knows how to talk about problems. The contrast is stark.
