Hopefully, they won't get it till long after the election. We've been putting up with the leftwing swill for more than 8 years....They have tried to put down anything Bush since before he ran for office, and have continued that to today.... 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.

Either the crowd was reacting because they thought he was referring to Palin, OR they are so stupid they don't know LS on a P is a worn out cliche and thought it was original and funny.

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. That was my reaction too. But the juxtaposition of these remarks is largely ignored by the lefty posters and media. They just focus on Obama's remarks and interpret them without the broader context of Palin's remark in St. Paul. Figures.
