Remember the manufactured outrage about the Lipstick on a Pig remark?......Obama never apologized...

[marmar]

.... or equivocated about it, and look what happened? It's a total non-event, non-story, non-starter now.

Lesson to Dems: See what happens when you stand your ground? :think:

1. it still resonates with the idiots /nt

[lamp_shade]

3. ... with the IDIOTS!! Not to worry... let it resonate.

[Clovis Sangrail]

6. lol... unfortunately a very sizable chunk of the populace are idiots

witness how many people voted for Bush in '00 or '04

[VWolf]

8. Yeah, but they'd vote

against Obama whether or not he apologized.

Good on him to stand his ground.

9. It doesn't resonate with anybody...in fact, it was the campaign misstep

that started McCain on the road to ruin. Many people here said it at the time: this makes McCain look like a fool and a liar. And that's precisely what it did. The Lipstick on a Pig statement was one of Obama's greatest traps of the entire cycle. He set it up for the little imbeciles, and they stepped right into it. They've been sliding down precipitously in the polls ever since.

11. is everybody who uses that phrase "setting a trap" ?

just curious
:eyes:

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. No, but Obama was

Thanks for playing.

[Clovis Sangrail]

14. ahhh... this is like so many of the primary comments

extremely thin on rationale or substance

... exuberance is good though I suppose... as long it's not "from the other side" right?

[demokatgurrl]

2. Yes, for once.

It drives me crazy how not only do repukes constantly whine and ask for apologies, the Dems COMPLY. Fuck them if their little feelings are hurt. If you can't stand the heat, then don't sling the mud.
:P

4. Pigs Are Still Pissed.

They never forget. They are like the Geico cavemen.

5. Lipstick is too

I have heard

[Tarc]

7. That's what we tried telling Kerry in `04. thank god Obama has learned from that

[lpbk2713]

10. KO had video right after that of McLame using the same phrase ....

... on at least four different occasions previous to that. And his audiences really yucked it up when he said those words too.

I think the Obama campaign should have aired some spots with McLame's own words to counter their hypocritical indignation.

13. I hope the Democratic Party remembers this. n/t
