DON'T APOLOGIZE, Barack Obama!!!!
Don't back down on the "lipstick on a pig" issue, and FIGHT HARD on this issue. Link the "lipstick on a pig" to the failure of the Iraq war, and McCain refusing to acknowledge the war was wrong, the failure of McCain on housing, education, the economy, and health care!

KOSSACKS, the Obama people are appearing on shows, on this issue. Tell them to fight back hard with a new angle of their own!

CALL THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN AT (866) 675-2008!!!! AND TELL THEM NOT TO BACK DOWN!

TELL THEM TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE SEX AD, AND TWIST IT AROUND ON MCCAIN! SAY HE DOESN'T SUPPORT THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN FROM SEXUAL PREDATORS! Apparently children shouldn't be taught the difference between "good touch" and "bad touch" and McCain wants them to remain ignorant.

I'm sorry, but I don't want our kids to be ignorant like John McCain. AND don't ever explain in great detail that law, just say, "John McCain should be ashamed of himself, and he has no honor! He doesn't want our children to be protected from sexual predators!"

Seriously, it's not the time to back down or be nice, or defensive, or wishy-washy. It's time to launch your own attacks, Barack Obama!

Share your thoughts with the Obama campaign at (866) 675-2008! It's time for the Obama campaign to show that they can make others respect them by being strong!

Keep up press statements like this! Now is the time to follow up with an ad questioning McCain's honor, using his own POW film:

Bill Burton, Obama's press secretary, responded in a statement: "It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls – a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds. Last week, John McCain told Time magazine he couldn't define what honor was. Now we know why."


ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Suggested response for Obama on tonight's Letterman from kossack concernedamerican.

I am not going to apologize to someone who deliberately misinterpreted what I said to score cheap political points. Now either you're tough enough to be in office or you're going to run and cry every time you get your feelings hurt. Which is it John McCain?


AND STOP PRAISING JOHN MCCAIN FOR HIS MILITARY SERVICE! He's not honorable at all, and he just called you a child molester, Obama!

UPDATE: THE PHONE LINES ARE OPEN NOW!!! CALL (866) 675-2008!!!!

3. I think he SHOULD apologize
to the pigs.

Pigs aren't as dirty, smelly, or STUPID as John McCain's policies.

5. "I'm not going to apologize for calling out the lies in McCain's campaign"
"And all of his policies are a bunch of pigs with lipstick slapped onto them."

8. You can also email the campaign at this email address:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/contact2

But a phone call is always better, I think.

11. No way in hell will Obama apologize
He should use the phrase again today, just to infuriate them further.

15. Not to worry, an apology ain't happening. They're not THAT dumb.
but I do agree, he needs to come back HARD and emotionally about that disgusting sex ed ad. I sometimes get concerned Obama comes off as too cerebral, which smacks of "elitism", and in this case, he'd be well-served to be a bit more passionate, emotional and indignant in his response to their outrageous claims.

It's a delicate line to walk, not playing into the "angry black man" meme, but I do believe he needs to answer this latest smear forcefully.

16. DING DING DING! Cossack ConcernedAmerican, you're our grand prize winner!

Suggested response for Obama on tonight's Letterman from kossack concernedamerican: "I am not going to apologize to someone who deliberately misinterpreted what I said to score cheap political points."

Obama HAD to realize that McCain would go directly from "Obama described Palin's explanation of her flip-flop on 'The Bridge to Nowhere' as lipstick on a pig" to "Obama called Palin a pig"--and I think that's EXACTLY why he said it that way. Also keep in mind that Sarah sees herself as a pit bull in lipstick!

Obama has won the staring contest--McCain has blinked.
