Obama answered this childish attack...Seems like he was prepared for this attack on him OR did he lure the idiot screamers into this match? Obama now has an open platform to talk about the issues rather than swiftboating.

Ready to hit the post button..and here comes Princess Palin and the other guy. She seems to be ready for the same speech. Did you know that McCain has fought challenges? And her husband works? ETC ETC ETC. But McCain slipped up and caved into the enemy...How many POW's that didn't CAVE IN died honoring the country? Roseanne Palin didn't actually say that.

 

<Ahem!>

George "Bud" Day was seventeen in late 1942 when he badgered his parents into allowing him to volunteer for the Marine Corps. He spent nearly three years in the South Pacific during World War II, then returned home, went to college, and got a law degree. In 1950, he joined the Air National Guard. When he was called up for active duty a year later, he applied for pilot training and flew fighter jets during the Korean War. After being promoted to captain in 1955, he decided to become a "lifer" in the Air Force.

In 1967, Day, now a major, was put in command of a squadron of F-100s in Vietnam involved in a top-secret program. Nicknamed the Misty Super Facs, their mission was to fly over North Vietnam and Laos as "forward air controllers," selecting military targets and calling in air strikes on them. On August 26, ground fire hit Day's plane, destroying its hydraulic controls and forcing it into a steep dive. When he ejected, he smashed against the fuselage and broke his arm in three places. North Vietnamese militiamen below, seeing his parachute open, were waiting for him when he landed. They marched Day to a camouflaged underground shelter. When he refused to answer his captors' questions, they staged a mock execution, then hung him from a rafter by his feet for several hours. Certain that he was so badly hurt that he wouldn't try to get away, they tied him up with loosely knotted rope. On his fifth day in the camp, while a pair of distracted teenage soldiers stood guard, he untied himself and escaped.

On his second night on the run, Day was sleeping in thick undergrowth when either a bomb or a rocket landed nearby. The concussion left him bleeding from his ears and sinuses and sent shrapnel into his leg. Even so, he continued to hobble south for the next several days, eating berries and frogs and successfully evading enemy patrols.

Sometime between the twelfth and fifteenth day after his escape -- he had lost track of time -- Day heard helicopters and stumbled toward the sound. It was U.S. choppers evacuating a Marine unit, but they left just as he got to the landing zone. The next morning, still heading south, he ran into a North Vietnamese Army patrol. As he limped toward the jungle, he was shot in the leg and hand and captured soon afterward. He was taken back to the camp from which he had escaped and subjected to more torture.

A few days later he was moved to the "Hanoi Hilton." His untreated wounds were infected, and he was suffering from malnutrition and unable to perform even the simplest task for himself. The fingers on both hands were curled into fists as a result of his torture; he regained some motion by peeling them back, flattening them against the wall of his cell, and leaning into them with his full weight.

For more than five years, Day resisted the North Vietnamese guards who tortured him. On one occasion in 1971, when guards burst in with rifles as some of the American prisoners gathered for a forbidden religious service, Major Day stood up, looked down the muzzles of the guns, and began to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." The other men, including James Stockdale, the ranking U.S. officer in the prison, joined him.

 

If you don't recall who James Stockdale was, he ran for VP with Ross Perot. Remember how the GOP treated that P.O.W.?

But McCain slipped up and caved into the enemy...

You are a shameless dirtbag.

You mean the GOP icons aren't on the same page?

 

I doubt the DNC is either, but... This almost makes it sound comedic

"I'm going to play this cut again..."

Really that's so unlike you Sean.

UPDATE ON SARAHs' SPEECH....

SAME SPEECH......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Har! King. Hannity & Colmes is getting more & more like the film that Alex/Malcolm McDowell was forced to watch in A Clockwork Orange.I may need to pick up a box of eye-toothpicks if I plan on tuning in anymore.

After inserting the toothpicks don't forget to crank up the Ludwig Van.

And as it turns out, Sean was right. Watch David Letterman tonight and see how Obama says the lipstick is "Palin".

Obama is the pig in this story.

Duh.  But by playing only the "...is still a pig" portion of Obama's statement without the lead-in, following the clip of Palin's "zinger" about pit bulls with lipstick, hannity was implying that the reference was to Palin being the pig.  Hannity was wrong.  Again. 

hannity's a dishonest moron, but he's YOUR dishonest moron.  I feel the love...

HANNITY: I have my response coming up later, but I think this -- I disagree with you in large part. We have -- and I'm going to give a long setup here because there's information we need to share with our audience.

TRANSLATION:  "I have to put a lot of stuff out there to confuse my viewers."

WZ, meant to write "confuse them even more", I think.

You have to be really confused to believe that you're going to get any useful information from watching Sean Hannity on TV, or listening to his radio pukefest.

And Sean? In case you or someone on your staff is reading this thread - bite me.

WOLFSON: Exactly. And there's no question that he was referring to John McCain, not Sarah Palin, and I think anything to the contrary is ridiculous.

I agree, Sean Hannity IS ridiculous.

The. 

Dumbest. 

Guy. 

In. 

Media. 

Bar. 

None.

They're both pigs. McCain is a doddering sellout, no longer an individual, but a rightwing entity.

He surrounds himself with Rove potege's and expects us to believe he's a man of character?

She tells the country that we wish death on our own family because we justice loving liberals are concerned with the Habeus Corpus rights of us all?

They have no character to assassinate. They are groveling pigs.

"Sean, you're...a breeder of fine horses." - Mike Huckabee

Is Huckabee insinuating that Hannity engages in beastiality?  Someone call Rick Santorum!!!

<jk!!!>

"Sean, you're...a breeder of fine horses." - Mike Huckabee

Is Huckabee insinuating that Hannity engages in beastiality? 

Actually, I think that Governor Huckleberry is making reference to the fact that everything that comes out of Sean Hannity's mouth is horses**t.

Is Huckabee that optimistic kid, digging through the manure pile? There's gotta be a pony in there somewhere!

That sounds a lot more like hannity's show prep.

OMG!  It's "naive and irresponsible" to know that Obama wasn't talking about Palin.  What's irresponsible (though certainly not naive) is to edit clips and play them side by side to try to make it look like Obama meant something he clearly did not.  Hannity is as bad if not worse than Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage.

The three of them (Hannity, Limbaugh Savage Wiener) make up the Trifecta from Hell.

It's now apparent that John McCain will stoop to anything to distract voters,  as well as compromise his own integrity in acting all pissy over something as ridiculous as this.  He should be ashamed.  I don't care about Hannity, his phoniness is expected - but the McCain campaign is asking us to entrust the presidency to someone who will wallow in the mud with "pigs" to get the job.  It's despicable.

Good for Obama, enough is enough. 

And don't forget - McCain has people who can distract people for him, like Jeff Christie, Sean Hannity, and Bill O.

 

And this starts to bring up the question of all the issues that aren't being brought to the table right now. Right now the Bridge to Nowhere is a bigger issue than the WOT and illegal immigration!

That is apparent.  It's obvious.  I wonder why the press isn't jumping up and down shouting "He'll do and say anything to get elected!" like they did about Hillary?

Obama's lipstick on a pig comment...
   
This is disgusting! He really stepped in it now!    
 
    57%
Eh, it's a common phrase that even John McCain has used in reference to Hillary's healthcare policy. No big deal.    
 
    40%
You go Obama! I think it's a totally valid remark.    
 
    2%

Only 57% of Boortz listeners think Obama did something wrong here?  That speaks volumes.

This is so absurd.  Are these the same people that claim that Senator Moreland's "uppity" remark was somehow not racist?  (Have you EVER heard that word to describe anything OTHER than a 'n----r'? I sure as hell haven't.)  Have those among us that would never even think of using the word n----r EVER even used the word 'uppity' at all?  'Uppity N----r' is a common expression in the old south.  As is "Putting lipstick on a Pig."  Who is this false outrage aimed at?  All their support is IN THE SOUTH (OK, and the Mountains.) But BOTH places are quite familiar with the expression!  What, is 'lipstick' now some secret code for PALIN?  These people and their Orwellian tactics are starting to truly scare me.  I won't rest easy until we win thing.  The US will be in DEEEEP trouble with four years of McSame/Failin.

Exactly, Westmoreland was raised in 1950's Georgia, and he didn't know that there was a racial connotation to "uppity"?  He's supposed to get the benefit of the doubt, while we also are supposed to believe that Obama was clearly attacking Palin.

Nobody is stupid enough to genuinely believe these things.  You have to be wildly partisan or grossly misinformed in order to claim them.

I don't even think he was talking about McCain but the policies, putting lipstick on the last 8 years thinking you can get another4. 

 

Which... God help us it looks like (at the moment) much more likely than it had before.

 

It is ironic though that after the way Obama surrogates came out over and over with with accusations about anything that could remotely be called race baiting (and ruining (almost) Big Dawg's reputation they are now having it done to them. Of course sexism isn't nearly as "serious" in the media's and publics eyes as racism apparently.

 Then when they claimed McShame was using the race baiting (I forget when or if it was true) and McC came back so aggressively that nullified the calling it when it happened anymore, sadly.

 

There was something in McShames speech that was veiled racism and no one ever called it. I have to look at the transcript to find it- which I dread given the tone, content and length. UGH. 

If Hannity could place Obama on the grassy noll, he would.

OOPS, forgot something--

Interesting that they stop there and don't play the "fish" part isn't it?

That would certainly clarify and make plain what he said.

 

sigh.

 

I've so had it with this fricking election and here I was, ms. pollyanna back when the primary narrowed down to O and C thinking how wonderful we Dem''s were, how great that we finally broke not one but two barriers--even if shortly thereafter the hate mongering started and C was marginalized as the same old thing.

And when are they going to stop calling her a centrist? The media constantly say that and the Hill Haters equate her with neocons for crying out loud! 

Which is ludicrous if you look at any analysis of  her votes, bills etc. She is a far left Dem while Obama is much more centrist "rank and file".

Anyway, someone should call them on not playing the fish part of this clip dammitalltohell! 

I actually read somewhere somebody was saying that the "old fish" line was a reference to McCain's age.

hook, line, and sinker...

Republican campaigners are geniuses.

Bullcrap. They are unethical pigs. Don't confuse the willingness to lie, cheat and steal with genius.

The sooner we accept that the better.

This story is a perfect example of the ignorance of the right wing talking heads.  People actually believe the trash that Banality, Limpjaw, Oliely, and the other right wing talking heads spew out each day.  And people wonder why the country is going down the tubes!  Wake up folks and quit being fooled by the reich wing liars.

Hannity's also been pushing this lie/smear on his radio show.
