Obama Camp: Palin Playing Gender Card

[tekisui]

The Barack Obama campaign accused their Republican opponents of a "pathetic attempt to play the gender card" tonight with the McCain campaign's demand that Obama apologize for a remark made earlier in the evening.

Obama used a "lipstick on a pig" metaphor this evening as he tried to tell voters why they shouldn't believe John McCain and Sarah Palin when they say they represent change.

"Enough is enough," Obama senior adviser Anita Dunn said in a statement e-mailed to reporters

"The Mc Cain campaign's attack tonight is a pathetic attempt to play the gender card about the use of a common analogy - the same analogy that Senator McCain himself used about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's health care plan just last year," she continued. "This phony lecture on gender sensitivity is the height of cynicism and lays bare the increasingly dishonorable campaign John McCain has chosen to run."

[Bubbha Jo]

6. Do you secretly think she's a pig and

Do they secretly think she's a pig and just are mad cause they thought someone was pointing it out? They are making a big deal out of nothing.

She's the one who called herself an animal in lipstick their other night. They need to get over this already.

[rndmprsn]

[hulklogan]

10. That's two "dishonorable" mentions in about four hours.

I'm thinking we'll hear a lot more on McBush's honor problem in the future.

[dgibby]

28. Best move yet!

If Obama is trying to get McInsane to de compensate, going after his perceived "honor" is a brilliant move. Get ready for the meltdown!!!:nuke:

11. Why does McCain think his running mate is a pig?

Funny how he would have come to that conclusion

[Danger Mouse]

[CakeGrrl]

[Shine]

15. Further statement from Obama camp . . .

"If Senator Obama were referring to Gov. Palin, he would have said 'putting lipstick on a pitbull.'"

[pristinebullet]

16. McCain did it too

What is the hypocrite talking about? He used the phrase against Clinton.

[Shanti Mama]

17. GREAT response. GObama!

Those are smart, not overly-devious folks running his campaign.

[scheming daemons]

19. I see a new theme for the next Obama campaign commercial....

"Dishonorable mention"

[dailykoff]

20. Damn!! This is too good.

I knew they'd get on bead on BPalin eventually. This is blood in the water. :thumbsup:

[KathieG]

22. BAM!

Great response!!! :applause::applause::applause:

[Waiting For Everyman]

23. Palin threw away the gender card by bragging she could take it.

She can only whine now. It's phoney and lame.

Good reply by Obama's Anita Dunn! (Shove it! only better said.)

[Coexist]

24. "Palin's ALREADY playing the gender card What a wimp"

rinse. repeat.

[RollWithIt]

26. GOTCHA........

Suckers. Republicans are so predictable anymore. You can almost play two and three days ahead.

[tekisui]

27. The Obama camp is.

Everything Obama says is a current attack, and a future rebuttal.

[RollWithIt]

30. I'm very impressed with the initial salvo... clearly well thought out...

40 people sit in a circle and discuss every action and reaction. That's the Obama campaign. Very organized. Very detailed.

31. Obama Camp: "We're talking about Palin instead of the impending Great Depression economy."

Great fucking job, Democrats. Get me the hell out of this idiot country.
