No, I agree with The Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder<\/a> that Obama did not call Sarah Palin a pig.  I don’t believe all references to “lipstick” are, from here on out, oblique references to her.  The “lipstick on a pig” word picture has been with us for a while.  It’s probably not the best word picture to use at this point in time, but I don’t think it was a personal attack.<\/p>\n

What I’m hoping<\/em> comes out of this election season is a realization by the many “professional victim” groups that sexism (or racism or homophobia) isn’t<\/em> hidden in every disagreement.  So, Democrats, stinks to be on the other end of the hysteria, eh?<\/p>\n

At the Crain’s Business Forum this morning, [NY Gov. David] Paterson drew attention to a phrase used numerous times by speakers at the Republican National Convention to describe Barack Obama’s leadership experience: community organizer.<\/p>\n

“I think the Republican Party is too smart to call Barack Obama ‘black’ in a sense that it would be a negative. But you can take something about his life, which I noticed they did at the Republican Convention \u2013 a ‘community organizer.’ They kept saying it, they kept laughing,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Guess some Democrats aren’t getting the realization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
