Topic: Newsmax
From Lowell Ponte's Sept. 11 Newsmax column:
Obama’s excuse-makers flooded the media on Wednesday, frantically trying to deflect America’s reaction to his words, arguing: “Do you really think Senator Obama was trying to call [Republican vice presidential candidate Alaska Governor] Sarah Palin a pig?”
Yes, Mr. Obama was doing precisely this, and he deserves the backlash he is receiving from women and men across the political spectrum.
[...]
When you smear people’s trademarks, you smear them. Obama obviously did this deliberately — but clumsily.
Ponte, of course, has no idea whether Obama's comment was deliberate. of course, that's never stopped him from making baseless assertions before.
