What goes around…

Remember this line uttered by former President Bill Clinton in early January?”

It is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war in every year, enumerating the years — and never got asked one time, not once, ‘Well, how could you say that, when you said in 2004 you didn’t know how you would have voted on the resolution; you said in 2004 there was no difference between you and George Bush on the war . . . and there’s no difference in your voting record and Hillary’s ever since?’ . . .

“Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.” – Jan. 7, 2008

Immediately, civil rights leaders and Obamabots pounced on the statement. They implied it was a racist statement.

For the very life of me, I do not see racism in that comment. And I have tried. I have really, really tried.

Unless you’re one of the ones who believes that any criticism of anything about Barack Obama is racist – meaning, unless you are an Obamabot – I doubt that you will either.

I’ve never heard the term “fairy tale” used as a racial slur. That was a new one on me, and I suspect it was for anyone else who wasn’t drunk on that very special Obama-flavored Kool-Aid.

Fast forward.

Last week, GOP Vice-Presidential nominee and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin delivered her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. She brought the house down with this memorable anecdote:

“I love those hockey moms. You know they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull…lipstick.”

The McCain/Palin team has been rising in the polls since the GOP Convention while the Obama/Biden team is floundering. Yesterday, Barack decided to “poke fun” at his Republican opponents. In comments delivered at a town-hall meeting in Lebanon, VA, he said:

“You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig,”

The Obamabots at the town-hall cheered (of course).  But not everyone is laughing.

Even as his paramours in the media put the story through the spin cycle in an attempt to defend him last night, many called the comments a direct attack on Sarah Palin (duh).

Some even called the remark a direct sexist attack on Sarah Palin (duh again).
Yeah, sure…we all know that Obama didn’t make up that phrase, and we know what it means when someone says that.

But do I believe he really didn’t have Sarah Palin and her convention remark in mind when he delivered it?

Not for a moment.

And is it a bona fide sexist remark?

You bet your campaign coffer it is, Barry.

Now Barack is trying to backpedal (again). Addressing supporters at Granby High School in Norfolk VA this morning (they may be too young to vote, but they’re still naïve enough to believe him), Obama accused the McCain campaign of “phony outrage”, claiming it was just an “innocent remark” and a “made-up controversy”.

Gee, that’s exactly what I always thought about President Clinton’s “fairy tale” remark.

But I don’t think that’s true this time. The Obama campaign has a history of sexist remarks, whether made by the candidate himself or by surrogates.

So save your own phony outrage, Barry. Here’s another fairy tale for you: if the glass slipper of sexism fits, wear it.
