"What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." Remember when Washington, DC's black Mayor, Anthony Williams, gladly accepted the resignation of his white staff member, David Howard, because Mr. Howard uttered the word 'niggardly' in a private staff meeting, or Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) resigning his position as Senate Republican leader after he made alleged racist remarks that drew immediate criticism and outrage from Black lawmakers, race hustlers and all the usual racialist detectors.
No groups in America are more adept at finding and sniffing out racial offenses than the Left Wing American Media and the various communities of color and indignation.
So let's try and be intellectually honest and consistent, Barack Obama was taking a direct shot at Sarah Palin with his pig and lipstick remark. It was the use of an old sexist term "pig" used against woman. It is no different from any other racial or sexist slur. Imagine if Palin referred to Obama eating watermelon.
Since we are in the barnyard let us not forget "what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."

New York Post
September 9, 2008
"WASHINGTON - Barack Obama stuck his foot in his mouth today when he said "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig" - which the angry McCain campaign immediately charged was an out-of-bounds attack on running mate Sarah Palin.
Obama delivered the line while campaigning in Lebanon, Va., tearing into his rivals for not representing real change.
"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig," Obama said, "but it's still a pig."
He added, "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called 'change.' It's still gonna stink after eight years."
Many in the Obama crowd leaped to their feet in delight - apparently taking the "pig" comment as a direct slam at Palin.
One of her most memorable lines during her vice-presidential acceptance speech at the GOP convention last week was the ad lib: "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick" - which drew huge cheers from the GOP faithful.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift, speaking on behalf of the McCain campaign, quickly called on Obama to apologize.
"It's disgraceful. Sen. Obama owes Gov. Palin an apology," Swift said.
"This is just the latest in a series of comments that females like me will find offensive . . . There's only one woman in the race. It's hard to think this was directed at anybody other than Gov. Palin."
Obama's campaign spokesman insisted he wasn't referring to Palin with the line, calling it an old expression.
The Obama camp has struggled with how to handle Palin since GOP nominee John McCain made the surprising pick for his ticket. Palin gave the McCain campaign new energy, evidenced by a jump in the polls, a surge in volunteers, and big crowds.
Recent polls show the race to be a dead heat or McCain with a slight lead, while the Republicans have gained among white women and independents since the Palin pick.
But after Obama focused his attacks on McCain, in recent days he and running mate Joe Biden have been ratcheting up their direct hits on Palin.
Obama has drawn laughs at his rallies by describing her as a "moose shooter," even as he assures his audience he is complimenting her for her background and accomplishments."
“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change,’ it’s still going to stink,” Obama said. “After eight years, we’ve had enough of the same old thing. It’s time to bring about real change to Washington and that’s the choice you’ve got in this election.”
ReplyDeleteReading the quote sloppily I was thinking it was refering to her husband the fisherman, an underhanded way of making it refer to Palin, but now I see with the use of 'old', which is what I'm getting, and the following open reference too the 8 years of horror, that it refers to Palin and McCain. There, got it straight.
Did Jesse Jaclspm ever get around to apologizing about his Hymie Town crack? That condemns an entire group.
Looking it up I see he did but it took awhile--
Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman. Jackson at first denied the remarks, then accused Jews of conspiring to defeat him. When he finally did acknowledge that it was wrong to use the term, he said he did so in private to a reporter.[28] Finally, Jackson apologized during a speech before national Jewish leaders in a Manchester, New Hampshire synagogue, but continuing suspicions have led to an enduring split between Jackson and many Jews.[28]
To his credit, he apologized much more quickly for advocating cutting Obama's nuts 'out' or 'off', in varying transcriptions.
I call that progress, of a kind.
I keep reading such good things at 'American Thinker' I can't help myself from posting them--

Spengler: How Friendless Obama Lost the Election
ReplyDelete"Combine a child's response to serial abandonment with the perspective of an outsider, and Obama became an alien species against which American politics had no natural defenses.
He is a Third World anthropologist profiling Americans, in but not of the American system. No country's politics depends more openly on friendships than America's, yet Obama has not a single real friend, for he rose so fast that all his acquaintances become rungs on the ladder of his ascent.
One human relationship crowds the others out of his life, his marriage to Michelle, a strong, assertive and very angry woman.
If Novak's report is accurate, then Michelle's anger will have lost the election for Obama, as Achilles' anger nearly killed the Greek cause in the Trojan War. But the responsibility rests not with Michelle, but with Obama.
"Obama's failure of nerve at the cusp of his success is consistent with my profile of the candidate, in which I predicted that he would self-destruct. It's happening faster than I expected. As I wrote last February: 'It is conceivable that Barack Obama, if elected, will destroy himself before he destroys the country. Hatred is a toxic diet even for someone with as strong a stomach as Obama ... Both Obama and the American public should be very careful of what they wish for. As the horrible example of Obama's father shows, there is nothing worse for an embittered outsider manipulating the system from within than to achieve his goals.' By all rights, the Democrats should win this election. They will lose, I predict, because of the flawed character of their candidate

Obama succumbed to the character weakness I described in a February 26 profile of (Obama's women reveal his secret).
His peculiar dependency on an assertive and often rancorous spouse, I argued, made him vulnerable, and predicted that Obama

ReplyDeleteVenezuela will hold joint naval operations with Russia in the Caribbean even as the US re-establishes its Fourth Fleet to safeguard interests in the region and contain expanding Venezuelan influence.
By Jeremy McDermott, Latin America Correspondent
Last Updated: 7:15PM BST 07 Sep 2008
"This is of great importance because it is the first time it is being done [in the Americas]," said Venezuela's Rear Admiral Salbatore Cammarata Bastidas, describing the exercises with four Russian ships planned for the November 10-14.
Venezuela has long been engaged in a war of words with Washington, but an escalation is feared as President Hugo Chavez develops strong ties with Russia, Iran and China, and is using offers of cheap oil to bind other Latin American nations into agreements with Venezuela.
Sat astride some of the biggest oil reserves outside the Middle East, Mr Chavez has engaged in an unprecedented arms buying spree, purchasing 24 Sukhoi fighter jets, as well as submarines and missiles from Russia. Mr Chavez has said that he would allow Venezuela to be a strategic base for Russian bombers should it be required.
"In Venezuela they will always have a green light, they will be welcome, because Russia is an ally of Venezuela," said Mr. Chavez.
President Chavez has established close ties with Iran, amid fears that Lebanon-based Shiite Muslim group Hezbollah has established a presence in Venezuela. Mr Chavez has announced he will visit China in the coming weeks with a view to buying more arms.
In June the US Navy announced it was re-establishing the Fourth Fleet, disbanded in 1950, which would direct naval operations in the Caribbean and Latin America. Both US presidential candidates have vowed to reduce US dependence on oil imports.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking to Obama supporters on the periphery of the big event, I was startled by the rapturous devotion elicited by the junior senator from Illinois. He is no symbol for identity politics, no sacrifice on the altar of white guilt, but the most gifted persuader of individuals that I have encountered in any country's politics, as well as a powerful orator on the grand stage. This is not a crowd phenomenon nor a fad, but the response of hundreds of people to an individual.
ReplyDeleteMelancholy hung like thick smog over the reserved seats where I sat with Democratic Party staffers. The crowd, of course, cheered mechanically at the tag lines, flourished placards, and even rose for the obligatory wave around the stadium. But its mood was sour. The air carried the acrid smell of defeat, and the crowd took shallow breaths. Even the appearance of R&B great Stevie Wonder failed to get the blood pumping.
One minute he says A = A, then A = B.
Whoever wrote that stuff just isn't logical.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I can understand Michelle might have a chip on her shoulder, though, honestly, I've never seen it, but I can't understand where the idea arises that Obama's white mother 'hated America with a passion' or whatever the phrase was.
What's the evidence for that?
That she married a couple of foreigners? And outside her race?
Obama, if he loses, will lose because he made a terrible vp choice, and McCain a brilliant (so far) one.
ReplyDeleteI think Obama may well have thought he didn't need Hillary--and if you don't need her, who can blame him for not wanting her?--as he was up in the polls, the Republicans and Bush in the shit tank.
I think it's overanalized. It's true he had a confusing family and racial situation. But this stuff is calling in Dr. Freud.
He is no symbol for identity politics
ReplyDeleteWell of course he is.
Practically every black in America thinks he is just that.
Just as Palin has hit it big with the white moms, and dads too, and the more authentic religious folk, who think they finally got somebody who lives it, who think their person is finally getting a chance.
There is a cultural divide, it's an identity divide. Natural as breathing.
It's an identity politics. You can't convince the blacks of America that he ought to be rejected because he has all this stuff in his past, that we object to. They don't care. Some applaud it.
ReplyDeleteBack to my cubicle.
Obama used to make people rapturous, now he doesn't, he didn't at the convention, on the floor.

Starling said,
ReplyDeleteHey Doug
I read this one a few days back and thought it basically sound. I find Spengler almost as enjoyable a read a Wretchard's work.
I agree with Spengler's central thesis, i.e. that Obama is very insecure and that it shows up in the company he keeps and particularly the women in his life.
The way he has been lashing out at Palin is really a something to behold.
He really seems rattled and to have lost sight of the fact that he's not running against her, but against McCain.
Biden, I would think, should be on the attack against Palin, if anyone. Actually., I think they'd both be better off to ignore her and concentrate their fire on McCain. But this woman thing, his need to attack Palin, is telling.

A classmate remembers her as "intellectually way more mature than we were and a little bit ahead of her time, in an off-center way."[6].

May 4, 1999
WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, May 4) -- The Senate voted 78-22 Tuesday to table a resolution that would have given President Bill Clinton congressional authorization to use all means necessary to win the current military campaign in Yugoslavia.
The resolution's chief sponsor, Sen. John McCain, spoke angrily against the parliamentary manuever to set aside the measure. The Arizona Republican also heavily criticized Clinton for ruling out ground troops, saying the administration joined forces with opponents of the Kosovo campaign to kill the resolution.
Sen. John McCain was the resolution's chief sponsor
"The president doesn't want the power he possesses by law because the risks inherent in its exercise have paralyzed him," McCain said.

Senate Shelves McCain Proposal on Kosovo
The Washington Post Article date: May 5, 1999 Author: Helen Dewar
The Senate voted with White House backing yesterday to scuttle a proposal sanctioning a wider war over Kosovo, prompting an angry Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to charge that
President Clinton is "prepared to lose a war" to avoid tough choices.
The 78 to 22 vote to shelve a proposal by McCain to authorize "all necessary force," including ground troops, followed an eight-hour debate that underscored senators' deep divisions over the war. While most said McCain's proposal was premature and overly broad, they could not agree on whether to escalate the war, continue to rely on airstrikes or pursue a negotiated settlement.

All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency. But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother, who is an American national, made statements that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world.
We hope that this is merely an elections “clearance sale,” as they say in Egypt – in other words, merely an elections lie.

ReplyDeleteThe Democrats are stunned and claiming Obama did not mean it and the Republicans are fabricating a story. However, Obama may have not realized the metaphor as he spoke, but from the crowd reaction, he had to know how the crowd heard the statement when they jumped to their feet. Obama enjoined the moment. He may have stumbled into it, but he did not do the right thing in clarifying his comment.
ReplyDeleteNow compare that to Biden who immediately realized he made a mistake asking the man in the wheelchair to rise up.
Obama blew it.
I think all this stuff shows Obama is erring, inept, an oaf. He doesn't think things through as to how there gonna be seen outside his own circle. He joins this crazy church, not because he really believes it, cause he doesn't have any convictions(unlike Resco :) ) but for the street cred. If he was thoughtful, he would of hightailed it out of there before the campaign, knowing it would become an issue. He doesn't believe any of the Christian doctrine, black liberation or other, if he did he'd send his 1/2 brothers 100 bucks a month. He lets slip a foolish a comment about lipstick on a pig, admitedly a much used metaphor, without thinking, gee, that woman's got momentum, best not throw fuel on the fire. But it's so obvious, you got to wonder what's up.
