You're going to defend this, and yet make an issue out of the lipstick comment?
Are you referring to me? If so, you need to read clearer.

I've said I don't care about the lipstick comment. I've said what I thought, but I've also said it shouldn't matter. What does matter is how the media treats it. McCain's camp is winning on that end. Obama thought he'd get away with it and it would be a cute comment on the news. After all, the media's been behind him. He's upset that it went against him.

And I'm not making an issue of community organizers or Obama's experience. I've said I don't know what it entailed, but there's plenty you can read on both sides of it. I think it would be foolish to join either side actually.

If you're talking to wart, then I apologize.

I think you're an old, stinky, elitist fish with lipstick that likes to have sex with dirty pigs.

But as long as you know what you meant, that's all that matters.
What is so hard to understand. Her experience was mocked, so she mocked Obama's experience, their opponent. So what you are saying is she should have mocked the bloggers? But I am not staunchly on either side, so I can be objective about both, and see that both sides are mocking eachother.

Why are you making this so [expletive] difficult? Obama SAID nothing about her inexperience before the RNC. She was the first to strike when she mocked his experience. If she heard rumblings of her being inexperienced, which justifiably should have been discussed from the day she was named, she should have responded to those that were making that claim. Not by tearing down her opponent's experience. After that, why wouldn't Obama feel compelled to mock her back?

I'm going to have to sort of disagree with this.
