    Oh no, this might just be the straw that broke the camel's back and finally drive RRNY to end his "one-time-Hillary-supporter-now-going-to-sit-this-one-out" charade and just accept the fact that he will vote for McCain.

    Just because it would be nice for you if he were resorting to calling Sarah Palin a pig, it does not actually mean that he was calling Sarah Palin a pig.

    Look, even Obama haters will admit he is a shrewd politician. He is not dumb enough to make a crack like that. The context of the video is clear in and of itself. But as a backup assumption - Obama has never gone after someone like that - unlike McCain, who has made Chelsea Clinton jokes and whatnot (which I truly think is no big deal, because I have made mean jokes that I don't mean millions of times).

    But, because Sarah Palin Sanctimony has proven so effective over the past week, folks who wish to squeeze more press time out of that sour fruit will do so, as long as it steers the debate from actual issues. Look - I am giving you one: Iraq. You guys should be pounding Obama on the surge, how he was against it, etc. Its not a total winner for McCain, I could have that debate, but it's at least a substantive discussion, and it is one this country needs to have.

    But no. Let's stick to: "How dare you use an expression that I can twist into a coarse sexist attack! How dare you give me something to turn this into some BS Jerry Springer show crap."

    Give. Me. A. Break. Anyone looking at that video should be able to discern that he was referring to their platform, not their candidate. The pseudo- psychological interpretation is bulls***, and if McCain was in Obama's shoes an the press went after him about it, I would defend McCain.

    This is bullcrap and you know it.

    That's why the crowd was chanting "No Pitbull! No Pitbull" after the comments right?

    Got to keep spinning that wheel because if it stops and the public looks at their records and who is exactly like George W Bush, it will not be pretty for McCain.

    How is Perez Hilton "supported" by Obama?

    Stop lying, we can all see through you. We all know you don't believe any of this crap you post. Aren't you tired? Doesn't it take tons of effort to put on this charade? Is it really worth all that effort? You aren't changing anybody's mind, so why do it? Don't you want to stop being a caricature of yourself? Do need this or something? Is it the attention that you enjoy?

    correct. Because they don't like her candidate's policy idea, and she's compared herself to a pitbull.

    ROCKET RICH NYC - you and your thread's tremendous suckdom is causing water pressure to drop in my midtown manhattan office tower. You may cause a cholera outbreak soon.

    he was not talking about her as a pig, watch the video, stop lying, he is refering to their platform and he specifically says he is.

    You should start a thread of how great gun control is working in NYC and how all of us backwoods losers should do it. Now THATS a good thread.

    OLD fish

    LIPSTICK pig

    I guess agree to disagree but thats the way I see it. I'm not lying. Why else does lipstick get such a huge reaction from the crowd.

    I think Obama is full of it and himself. The only thing he is going to be changing is Biden's diaper.
