OMG! They're claiming trademark on lipstick!

[me b zola]

McCain campaign person is on msnbc talking with Andrea Mitchell saying that once Palin used her idiotic phrase at the convention it became her "brand".

You can't make this shit up. :rofl:

[d.amber]

1. this is so sad

Who is running for Pres on the Repug side? Palin or McShame? He used that phase against Hillary and that is ok. But how anything to do with lipstick is a referance to Palin? Give me a break.

She can attack, but you can't say anything not nice to her or you are a sexist and attacking a woman with a baby in her arms.

Sorry...she needs to toughen up real quick. I'm so sick of the double standards I could scream.

[Debi]

9. The behavior hurts women candidates. n/t

[me b zola]

41. It hurts women in general

We live in a world where we are devalued, and the one thing that those who want to continue to devalue us is a woman who cries wolf. To them that negates the reality that the 99.999% of the reality that we live in.

[1corona4u]

2. YEAH, well we need to come back and say...

CHANGE was Obama's "brand". They stole that!!!

[leftynyc]

5. Excellent point!!!

Best comeback on this nonsense argument. I swear, they are becomming unhinged.

[jillan]

7. Good one, corona!

High five!

[1corona4u]

15. Honest to God, how do they even say this shit with a straight face?

It's just getting so ridiculous....like highschool shit.

[ClayZ]

32. I want to see McGoo in Lipstick, then!

The whole damn bunch of them should wear lipstick, including ROVE!

[WeDidIt]

3. That's why they're so pissed off.

Now, whenever she uses that bullshit line, everybody will think "pig with lipstick" instead of "pitbull with lipstick".

They screwed the pooch by taking the bait Obama put out there.

[AtomicKitten]

4. OK. Well I drink Tecate so all you mo-fos back off. Mine!!!

[jillan]

6. Well gosh dangit.

I never leave the house without lipstick.
Does this mean I have to get Queen Sarah's permission now?

Give me a break:crazy:

[jakem]

8. irs a deal. we get 'change'

[azmouse]

10. Then WE should be putting lipstick everywhere!

[blondeatlast]

11. They should have copyrighted the term, then. They seem to know all about

copyright law. :eyes:

[1corona4u]

18. You can't copyright common words...

they are so stupid.

[blondeatlast]

25. But they ought to try--nudge, nudge... nt

[1corona4u]

28. LOL...

:-)

[TheKentuckian]

20. I think mighty guffaws should be the response to their

whining.

They are a joke, we will make them accountable for their lies, and we will bring them down.

[kurth_]

12. Is this some kind of Wasilla High competition?

Stupid trash.

[bunnies]

13. Palin = lipstick. Got it.

Nice of them to admit she's just window dressing. Idiots.

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. They are unhinged...Mccain campaign desperate and sounding increasingly crazy

Obama beat them silly on this thing, and now they're claiming that the very word 'lipstick" belongs to sarah Palin????

:rofl:

Yeah, run with that strategy. Let's see how rural Americans like it when you tell them they can't use "lipstick on a pig" anymore.

Oh, man. Obama has bruised them badly with this. Their convoluted responses are making it even worse!

[1corona4u]

29. BINGO.

[me b zola]

33. Why does McCain hate rural Americans?

What's he going to lay claim to next? Chili cook-offs?

[TwilightGardener]

16. Oh my Lord. Their campaign is a house of cards. This is unbelievable.

[succubus.blues]

17. OMG

*shaking head*

[yardwork]

19. This is making Palin and McCain look stupid.

[1corona4u]

22. I agree, and I think it will cost them voters...

policies/party aside, people will not like this.

[yardwork]

26. One would hope, but I never cease to be amazed.

The stupidity of the U.S. voting public constantly exceeds my wildest expectations.

[beac]

21. ZOMG! My dead grandfather

used to use 'putting lipstick on a pig' all the time when he was alive 20+ years ago. HOW could he future-diss Sarah like that?? BAD grandfather, BAD!

[Straight Shooter]

23. I'm speechless. n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. If Obama says "that dog won't hunt" - Whoops, Palin said she hunts

in her speech. That's trademarked. Obama called her a dog, by cracky.

[Life Long Dem]

27. Show Andrea Mitchell this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4v8FMwUr7w

Edit: And this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR8IhMMhe8w&NR=1

[JBoy]

30. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode, where George wants to be nicknamed "T-Bone"

But a coworker scoops the nickname, and George gets all pissed off. People see George ranting about it, and start calling him "KoKo".

[ClayZ]

31. They should try DTD for a trademark! Dumber than Dirt!

K and R

[TNMOM]

34. this is hilarious

the wingnuts are upset because Obama hit too close to the truth.:kick:

[me b zola]

35. The republicans are floundering

:rofl:

[Gin]

36. since she is a dog with lipstick.....woof...woof

g

[dawgmom]

37. Hey...I love dogs

Dogs are noble, beautiful creatures.
Please don't compare that idiot to dogs.
:)

[FrenchieCat]

38. So they can steal "Change", but no one but them can say lipstick!

Those PIgs! :mad:

[me b zola]

40. Kind of gets to the core of republicanism

They'll by God tell us what a word means and who's allowed to use it! Goes hand in hand with Palin's abuse of the Alaskan librarian who dared to speak up over Palin's plans to censor books. George Bush* with lipstick!

[nam78_two]

39. These people are ...uh..out there (to put it mildly).nt

[me b zola]

Oh, the irony! :rofl:

[Disturbed]

43. Most famous person that used the phrase first?

My guess: Lynne Cheney

[me b zola]

45. I don't know the answer to your question

But the republicans sound like loons chasing this meme.

Right now Joe (the rw preacher) is on msnbc is continuing to say that Sarah fans hear voices (It's not what Obama said, it's what people want to believe that he said).

[Gidney N Cloyd]

44. C'mon, you don't "brand" pigs. You staple those little tags on their ears.

[AwakeAtLast]

46. Well, then Obama owns CHANGE

Na na, na na, boo fucking boo.

:eyes:

[RagAss]

47. The Senility story will put an end to this shit.
