The "lipstick on a pig" etc remark wouldn't have been perceived as offensive if it wasn't so obvious a response to Palin's well known remark about hockey Mom's, pitbulls and lipstick. If not for that, it would be just a reasonably well known and inocuous phrase. But she had made the "lipstick-pitbull" remark and is very widely known for the phrase and that changes things. Obama's remark was clearly intended to be and perceived by his audience to be a shot back at her using her own signature phrase. And a shot back that amounts to calling a woman opponent a pig. As such, it's a juvenile statement that a candidate looking to project gravitas shouldn't make and in addition is something thats extremely unwise for a man to make in reference to a woman anytime under any circumstances. Liberals aren't getting it and are responding to the controversy by becoming even more offensive and sexist. This compounds the problem for their side. But it is very good for McCain-Palin. Every woman turned off by Obama calling Sarah a pig is one more woman that won't vote for Obama. The uglier the Democrats act The uglier liberals act, the better for our side.
