The Truth Shall Set Ye Free

C,

I assume like you that since Sarah Palin mentioned Lipstick in her acceptance speech, she automatically get copyright for the Word "Lipstick".

Now I remember, since Mccain used it since October 2007, can we say Sarah Palin infringed on Mccain Copyright over that word too.

We should even affix TM on the Idiomatic expression whenever it is used all over the World, shouldn't we?

I wish you could hear yourself and know the idleness of your comment.

Lest I forget, you are guaranteed the right to say anything under the First Amendment, so continue to post now and think later.

Clearly other politicians on both sides of the aisle have used the lipstick on a pig comment before, but the flack that Obama is getting is because he used it after Sarah Palin likened herself and all hockey moms to bulldogs, with the difference being lipstick.

At the very least, Obama is stupid for saying it. At the worst, he meant it, since it was a clear comparison to the statement Palin made just a week ago. The audience knew it too, because they took it as a slam on Palin as evidenced by their reaction. Had Obama really not meant it, he would have corrected himself right then and there when he realized the way the crowd took his statement, but he didn't.

Interestingly, there was a cartoon depicting Palin as a pig four days before. This just supports what everyone knows -- Obama did call Palin a pig. And lots of people in the crowd agreed in or approved of his statement in laughter.

"Warner Todd Huston noted that Obama's remarks sounded remarkably similar to a speech bubble in that ran in a Tom Toles cartoon the same day, September 5, in the Washington Post.

It's not too far-fetched to say Team Obama is cribbing his stump speech laugh lines from the liberal funnies."

Well said Julie.

not one republican will state the truth.
The only way they can win is to LIE.

You don't have to believe me.

Google any political 'fact checking' website and you will find out why the Media like Obama (for his honesty) and why the media doesn't like McCain and Palin (for their dishonesty).

GOOGLE any of the following;

check earmarks,
check what McCain was saying about ANOTHER Veteran during the previous election,
check how many 'republicans' have used the term 'lipstick on a pig',

check both their senate records on Sponsoring bills, and what type of bills they sponsored, AND how much bipartisan support they EACH had, and WHO voted the most with George Bush.

The library of congress records can't be spin cycled..

You want facts, Go check them, then stop posting your republican lies.
AMERICA is sick and tired of them..

Ryan c...It has been reported today that Russia and Venesuala have agreed to a strategic alliance between the two nations and that long range russian bombers will be deployed to venesuala. This is the first time in 40 years that russin bombers have been deployed into the western hemispere. Please tell me with your vast forgien policy experience how would you handle this situation?

And how did the Venezuelans and RUssians get close Jim?

Because Bush in a snit about Hugo Chavez calling him names decided to ban arms sale to Venezuela including spare parts for the small fleet of F-16 they had. We also spread the word to other countries with the F-16 to not sell parts to Venezuela.

Eventually they bought Russian fighters and that was the beginning of their military ties.

You're playing checkers in a chess world Jim. These things don't happen in a vacuum.

To: FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

I have been thinking about all the things I learned in history classes. When I studied history I though how great it was that we have greatly advanced.

Now I wonder what people will think generations from now when the read about the once great United States of America that lost its standing in the world.

During the elections they talked about flag pins, lipstick, whether it was arrogant for Senator Obama to give a speech in Germany (where over 150,000 voting Americans live), but they did not talk about how to reduce the deficit or feed the hungry or how to stop killing innocent people in an unnecessary war that put the country into a tremendous deficit.

I think they will say we were stupid and deserved what happened.

Ryan c...It has been reported today that Russia and Venesuala have agreed to a strategic alliance between the two nations and that long range russian bombers will be deployed to venesuala. This is the first time in 40 years that russin bombers have been deployed into the western hemispere. Please tell me with your vast forgien policy experience how would you handle this situation? You can start spinning anti-palin vies now Mr. Moderater.

Do you guys get the feeling that we are more and more looking like the Roman Empire before its fall?

We start wars and get loans from China to pay for them. What happens when China want to collect their money?

Scary...The things that led to the Fall of the Roman Empire were a decline in:

Morals and Values (think about their barbaric desire for "red meat" with the gladiators)
Public Health
Political Corruption
Unemployment
Urban decay
Inferior Technology
Military Spending

Can you substitute Rome with US? Scary thought but we are getting there. We already don't have respect from our allies, and we are becoming the enemy to a lot of nations.

Who do think will take us out? Russia, China? After all, we are owned by China.

Dear polarbearkiller, you are posting about the wrong thing. One was a story and the other was a political comment using a rape story.

Not only is she clueless(look at her high school understanding of NATO), she's a liar

When Gibson said if under the NATO treaty, the United States would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia, Palin responded: "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help.

"And we've got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she told Gibson.

The Russians invaded after a Georgian military assault killed some of their peacekeeping troops.

Rl in Illinois: sorry but the story isn't a story Palin had women in Wasilla charged for the medical collection of rape evidence. That is true, lasted until the Alaskan Legislature passed a law requiring all Alaskan Law enforcemant Angencies to pay for the rape evidence collection out of their own budgets.

Harry, the Citizens Against Government Waste is just a front for right wing big corporate interests.

George S. Goldberger, the Chairman is a McCain contributor & international multi-millionaire businessman.

"Citizens Against Gov't Waste"

Is a front group for Republicans funded by big Tobacco.

They given all their money to Republicans and not a penny to Democrats.

They are fraud not a watchdog group.

Funny how republicants fein fake repugnance at a remark their own candadate uses, sure is a classic show of hypocracy.

Finally! YEAH!!!

Miss Wasilla wants to drag America into a war with Russia, should Russia invade Georgia one more time!!

THAT IS EXCELLENT NEWS!!!

The end of the world, because of Georgia!!!

NO, not our own Georgia!!

How TERRIFIC!!!!!

A pig in a poke.

Don't gamble with America's future.

Thanks Kate, Mom of Twins..

: - )

RL in Illinois: I'm so sorry for your experience. That is awful. I'm not sure what part of the story you don't believe, but whether you believe the rape occurred or not, the facts are that: 1. McCain opposed (and still opposes) Biden's Violence Against Women Act, and 2. Palin did require payment by victims for rape kits while mayor of Wasilla. My prayers are with you.

Don't make Obama's pig with lipstick/old stinking fish comments (along with him giving Hillary Clinton the finger)out to be unimportant.

Behavior like that tells you the quality of the man and his maturity level.

If a head of state gets him angry will we see that finger again? Will Obama make a clumsy insulting comment without mentioning the head of state's name?

Part of being President is having the personal qualities that befit the office. Acting like a 4th grader during recess doesn't qualify.

Citizens Against Gov't Waste Reform ratings:

McCain 100%

Obama 10%

Biden 0%

Bless you Leah. It is so important that we speak out on these issues so that people really understand. It should also be noted that McCain OPPOSED Biden's Violence Against Women legislation. Clearly, Palin shares his views. The Republican party is using every tool in the box to distract us from real issues that affect women of all stripes but mostly middle class, working women, both those with and without families. I cried when I read your post. To me, Leah, you are just as much a hero as John McCain ever was.
