McCain Throws Lipstick Back in Obama's Face

New McCain Ad on YouTube:



UPDATE 9/10/09 AT 3:30 PM.

This video is no longer available. John McCain's site says: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by CBS Interactive Inc"

This is tantamount to censorship. I saw the video. All it had was a clip of Palin talking about the difference between hockey moms and pit bulls being one wears lipstick, then a clip of Obama saying you can put lipstick on a pig but you still have a pig, and then the closing of a pic of Obama with the title Ready to Lead? or Ready to Smear?

So it appears that CBS does not want McCain making mileage off of a clip they shot of Obama slamming Palin.

What is this? A media that decides for us what we'll know about the candidates? Do they think they can protect Obama by limiting video of him?

Did Obama Use Sexist Term in Calling Palin a Pig?

Obama in a stump speech said that "even if you put lipstick on a pig, you still have a pig". The audience (Obama supporters) laughed loudly. Many think he was referring to Palin who at the Republican convention said she was a hockey mom and the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is lipstick.

Now would lipstick be a gender specific term?

What if one candidate was an Arab American and somebody made a joke referring to camels? Or a candidate was Indian American and one made a joke about convenience stores (like Joe Biden did)? Or if one candidate was African American and one made a joke about putting on whiteface (a twist on the "blackface" that actors used to put on to portray African Americans). Would the media be enraged about those comments?

I think so, but where is the outcry today?

You decide what Obama meant...
