OBAMA LIPSTICK INSULT WAS A COORDINATED ATTEMPT

From the Strata-Sphere:

Reader Perdogg points us to some clear evidence the Pig attack on Palin was a coordinated smear on the woman by the Democrat Party and Obama Campaign. Just go read the whole thing. Good-bye Democrats - we don’t need your muck in this proud nation. The entire party establishment was participating and it was aimed directly at Palin - end update

The O-Bomb about Palin and the Pig may have been in response to nervous Democrat Leaders demanding Obama take the gloves off against Palin:

Since Palin made her national political debut last week, Obama’s campaign and other Democrats have been slow to criticize Palin, preferring to let mainstream news outlets and liberal blogs raise questions about her record.

But Democrats are growing concerned that Obama’s campaign has not challenged Palin’s lack of experience and views on abortion, creationism and the Iraq war more aggressively.

“There’s anxiety developing because of a perceived lack of aggressiveness,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), an early Obama supporter. “There’s natural anxiety when one feels they’re behind.”

…

There is concern,” said Rep. Ed Pastor (D-Ariz.). “We were feeling a little laid-back, and now we’re saying, ‘Oh hell, this is slipping away, we’ve got to get to work.’ ”

Pastor said he expected his Democratic colleagues to become more involved in Obama’s campaign in coming weeks, predicting they would start contributing more from their own campaign accounts.

That would explain how lipstick was the topic of the day, culminating on Obama’s botched joke. He was apparently was trying to be like Palin and screwed up horribly. Now he has lost all composure, as reported on his own trip to VA today:

Obama said the McCain campaign moved to “seize an innocent remark and take it out of context because they knew it’s catnip for the news media.”

“See, it would be funny, but the news media decided that would be the lead story yesterday. This happens every election cycle. Every four years, this is what we do. This is what they want to spend two of the last 55 days talking about…Enough!” he said.

Obama called the attacks “lies, outrage and swift boat politics.”

Dude, it was your words, your message, your screw up. Stop blaming everyone else. BTW, as I noted in the original link above a simple sampling of the Kos-Kids musings on the comment made it clear they too got the message about Palin. If those folks figured it out it was bluntly obvious.

You want to sling mud at us, we’ll throw ten times the mud at you….
…

hum…who cares? they are both pigs!

…

Pigs are fine animals, clean and intelligent.

They have nothing in common with Cain or Unable.

…

Palin introduced the Lipstick and pitbull meme…

Surely someone with her political EXPERIENCE ought to have been able to predict the very obvious rebuttal.

Now they cry “sexism”? Wow. If lipstick isn’t a symbol for the female gender, I don’t know what is!!

…

No She’s an Evil Cow!!!

No confusion from the leftward fever swamps. And the Dems got what they asked for.
