When Senator McCain used the "lipstick of a pig" phrase nobody thought much of it. When Senator Obama used the same expression, Republicans immediately thought he was referring to Governor Palin. Shame on them!
Why would they so quickly assume that Ms Palin was the pig Senator Obama was talking about? That's pretty nasty of them to apply that tag to their own candidate! Pigs tend to be a bit portly, the Governor is quite slim. Pigs tend to muck around in the mud. The Governor is quite slim.
If I'm walking beside my lovely wife on a crowded sidewalk and someone yells, "what a dog!" I'm not going to immediately assume they're talking about her, because I know that's just not true. I'm certainly not going to attract attention by standing up and shouting, "My wife is not a dog," defending her from a charge not even leveled at her.
If I were Sarah Palin, and my friends got to defending me from a charge not even meant for me, I'd say "Thanks, but no thanks."
Republicans, give Sarah Palin a break.
Don't automatically assume that when someone mentions the word "pig" that they're talking about her!

I agree completely! Recently a man wrote a letter to the editor of our local newspaper. The paper had published an editorial cartoon that made our President Bush look just like a monkey. The man was clearly incensed and so was I. I thought, how dare they degrade the stature of the noble monkey by comparing him to this horrible man.
