I don’t presume to know if Barack Obama was referring to Sarah Palin with his “lipstick on a pig” remark. But only a fool would deny that the wildly cheering crowd of Democrats to whom he was speaking didn’t presume that he was so referring to Sarah’s “pit bull” joke in her speech to the RNC last week.
This is especially so given the behavior of past Democrat gatherings:
1) The wildly cheering congregation of Democrats at the Wellstone Memorial Service that was turned into a raucous political rally in which Republican Senators attending to pay respects to their fallen colleague were booed by the crowd.
“If one ceases to believe in God, one doesn’t believe in nothing. One believes in anything.” – Chesterton
They will make politics their religion in which anything goes for the cause. See Marx.
2) Yet, many of those Democrats that do portend to believe in God are not immune to vile behavior sold on CD’s. Witness the behavior of the Congregation at Rev. Wright’s church, the one of the 20-year Obama parked butt. Obama can deny he ever heard any offending words from Wright’s lips about hated Whitey America all he wants, but such denials can’t drown out the din of his pew-parked butt nor the cheers of his beloved church family.
3) And finally, do you all remember the reaction of the crowd of Democrats hearing Hillary say that she was qualified to be President because she had experience in dealing with “bad men”? Hillary may not have been consciously referring to her husband, but the crowd presumed so.
After 18 years in the morally and intellectually bankrupt organization known as the Democrat Party, I knew my die was cast to eventually leave the party (which I did in 2000) one day when I saw myself as Bill Clinton as front men for the kooks in 1998. I stayed in the party for years due to the good people still in the party and the hope that I could help steer it back to JFK liberalism and away from its increasing hostility to people of faith.
I finally could not abide being associated with that vile creature any longer. I look back now and see my early years as a useful idiot for a party that serves the interests on no American citizen.
Given the behavior of recent Democrat Party crowds, I have to conclude that the number of people with any shame is decreasing exponentially.
Who knows what The Stammering One meant? He only puts two coherent sentences together when reading a script. But the Democrats in the crowds have memorized their vile script over many years. And if they forget them the dailykos kids will remind them of General Betrayus.
No missing what they think.

How he meant it no longer matters.
What does matter is Obama's response to the response to what he said. Democrats never say they're wrong and they never apologize, even for a perceived slight. Instead, they distract by calling it a distraction. Except for his most loyal followers, people will see that for what it is and make their own judgments.
