Lipstick on a pig : More LIES from John McCain

[CloeBuckingham]

Shame on Obama.

Blacks should treat women better.

[Mustang5GT]

finally a sane person on youtube... dont pay attention to your (negative) comments they r all b.s.

[arhinla]

Maybe you don't like McCain but you should be afraid of Obama. With him socialism or worst is coming. Just ask the millions who left socialist/communist countries, sometimes even risking their very life for the freedom we still have here in the USA.

[asterismxx]

HAHA they must have taken the ad down because I can't find it anymore. McCain is truly desperate.

Even that psycho from The View Elisabeth Hasselbeck agreed that Obama was not referring to Palin when he made the "lipstick on a pig" remark.

And anyway, Palin called herself a pitbull with lipstick, so even if someone did say that about her (which no one did) she has no right to complain.

[djinnbladex]

McCain once again is avoiding the issues and going for political mud slinging.

Obama's remarks were toward the failed Bush policies, and McCain dressing up these failed policies as good. But failed policies are bad policies, no matter how much McCain and Palin dress them up; hence LIPSTICK.

Too bad people are too stupid to realize this and just want Obama to look bad.

McCain should make another Britney Spears ad to cover up this failure as well.

[floib]

It seems that we're going to have to come up with a list of words to avoid in order to keep people being reminded about Palin. If she is such a delicate flower, she has no business being in the White House working with the "big boys." People need to wake up. McCain is using Palin to distract us from the real issues. McCain voted 90% of the time with Bush and will repeal Roe v Wade. I don't want to wake up one morning and see Caribou Barbie as our President. Yikes!!!!

[skettle2000]

He knew what he was doing. It was a calculated risk that back fired. Poor Obama - got to get down into the mud to win this one.

[carlherold2008]

Alright, since you claim Obama compared Palin to a pig... Then what on earth is the lipstick in the metaphor? What is the metaphoric lipstick Sarah Palin is putting on?

Do you not consider it FAR more likely that the "pig" is McCain's policies? Note that Obama did not even mention Palin. Note that McCain (and many others) used the same phrase many times.

[skettle2000]

Even if he did not mean it - It was a political blunder.

[poopinitup]

he was saying about the pig that it does not make any difference

[kebdesign]

Its so funny how you "republiclueless" people think you are in the top 5% billionaires who think going along with McClueless oops McSame..oops sorry McLame..damn..nevermind, you know, that you will be vacationing in the Hampton's or Martha's Vineyard with these guys if they get in office! LOL Listen and listen closely, you still will be paying higher gas, higher health care and just rising costs like the "LIBERALS"! YOU DONT HAVE 7 HOMES! You're probably struggling with your 1!

[metalthumb]

So does that mean that it was actualy McCain who called Palin a pig with lipstick?

[DameDiabolique]

(falls over) Nooo. Lipstick on a pig is an old school Republican catchphrase used against Democrats, Liberal, and Progressives when they are trying to introduce something new or trying to instigate change from the Old School, Conservative, Right Wing. Obama just used it on reverse to DESCRIBE MLAME AND PALIN'S "CHANGE" POLICIES. Hence, "They aren't going to provide any change. You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig."

NOTHING TO DO WITH SARAH PALIN AS A PERSON

[metalthumb]

I understand that is not what Obama meant,but what I was saying was that the people who tried to use it against him,saying he was talking about Palin,were the ones who actually implied that she was a pig.

[gentlegiant1991]

guys, this commercial took Obama's speech out of context. Obama used lipstick on a pig for McCains economic plan, that it was something new but it's the same. Look at the whole video guys, it shows Obama's full speech on it.

This commercial took that and said that Obama was calling Palin a pig, which is absolutely wrong

[Soultaker1982]

You could put lip stick on a community organizer and its still a community organizer.

[nemo1823]

i dont understand where being a comunity organizer is a bad thing?

mabye someone can enlighten me

[daschwartz2]

its not

but its a bad thing when that is one of your main "qualifications" to be president of the united states of america

[daschwartz2]

wow

you guys are amazing

you say you preach tolerance, but labelling anyone who disagrees with you as a hypocrite isnt tolerant at all

and you ahve it backwards

the republicans actually talk about the issues

while obama just talks about "change" and "hope" and other meanigless rhetoric

you guys are really just psychotic loons

i dont mind intellectual debate with liberals

but the people commenting on this video have such a seething, irrational hatred for republicans that "anything goes"

[gorillamann702]

republicans talking about issues???? dude did you watch the republican national convention??? obama even said he wasnt exagerating when he said those ppl didn't even ONCE mention ANY ISSUES OF AMERICAS. Not healthcare, not education, energy NOTHING.... Juust bullshit about why Obama is a bad candidate and why Mccain's all that because hes a war vet! please do your homework and open your eyes. its people like you that allow anyone to be elected because they speak great LIES (1 bush now Mccain

[JohnHistory]

This vid helps McCain more than hurt. President McCain... sounds good.

[kinggerald05]

President Mccain, President Palin. You liberal community organizers better get use to these labels. Roe vs. Wade is going down. Ha ha. Drill baby drill!

[halalansky]

Since Entering The Senate, Obama Has Requested Nearly $1 Billion In Earmarks. One of them: Obama Requested A $1 Million Earmark For The University Of Chicago Medical Center Where His Wife Had Just Been Appointed Vice President:

Over A Two-Year Period In The U.S. Senate, Obama Requested $3.2 Million In Earmarks For The Center For Neighborhood Technology, An Organization Led By Political Supporters And Friends:

VOTE FOR HERO not ZERO

Putting lipstick on a pig" is a slang rhetorical expression, used to convey the message that making superficial or cosmetic changes is a futile attempt to disguise the true nature of a product.[1] Whilst the rhetorical concept appears to have a long standing provenance, the actual phrase would appear to be of twentieth century coinage, and has recently risen to prominence as a somewhat clichéd attack on perceptions of spin in modern politics.

[quetou]

McCain calls his wife a C*&%, Palin laughs at a radio host for calling a political rival a bitch, Palin calls Obama a "Pitbull", Mccain used the phase in Oct 07 about Hillary and the Grand White Party is spinning this like Palin who was not in Washington over the last 8 years as a victim! These people will lie on their mama!

[showman28]

Republicals are promote hate just anything to win. Anything but issues.

[keeway2]

The lips of the righteous teach many, but the ways of the ungodly shall perish.

[quetou]

Thank you, that is why the lying spinning Palin - McCain team will burn in hell!

[nomccainnopalin]

Great video!

[daschwartz2]

how did john mccain lie?

that is what obama actually said, and it really did look like he was taking a subtle cheap shot at palin

if you want to talk about candidates lying, how about you talk about obama changing his position on the 2nd amendment to make him look more politicall acceptable?

you guys are really getting way too excited over the wrong guy

[quetou]

You people just dont get. You are neandethals. Barack Obama did not call Sarah palin a pig. He used the term practically used by every right winger and now you hypocrites are spinning it. John McCain's former press secretary wrote a book called 'LIPSTICK ON A PIG' - Was she talking about Sarah Palin? The phase you idiots, is defined to mean getting pass SPIN. And you spin the phrase. You are playing the Victim card here! HYPOCRITES!

[arhinla]

You are the only sane person here.

[MichaelAJonesJr]

GO OBAMA!! CALL IT (the same Bush/McCain's policy) WHAT IT IS!

[jcp61874]

Good job with this video. Thanks for getting this up so quickly. The Republicans are looking dumber by the day acting like they have their panties in a twist while crying crocodile tears over supposed sexism. It is hilarious. McCain and the Republican party have no leg to stand on when it comes too protesting sexism. All one has to do is look up McCain's track record with his wives, jokes about Hillary and Chelsea Clinton and other disparaging comments he has made over the years.
