Some campaign messages are better left unsaid

By GottaLaff

Politico published a piece called "A Guide to Undisciplined Messaging". It's "a list of dirty words or phrases that have already surfaced in this campaign but are better left unsaid." They include the following:

• “Sweetie” -- Barack Obama
• “Hard-working Americans, white Americans” -- Hillary Clinton
  
• “Tar baby” -- Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.); Mitt Romney
• “Boy” -- Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.)
• “Cojones,” etc. -- A local Indiana labor leader; James Carville
• “Pansy” -- North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley
• Fatal Attraction -- Rep. Stephen I. Cohen (D-Tenn.)
• “Articulate” -- Joe Biden; others who were not mentioned by name
  
• Any assassination reference -- Hillary Clinton
  

Now for a few of the comments that followed, which are also a list of dirty words and phrases that have already surfaced in this campaign but are better left unsaid:

• All this is a red herring anyway. It's the MSM's way to take light off Obama's communist connections. The BIG COVER-UP.
• You forgot, Obama's Middle Name. It's akin to saying "Lord Voldermort" in the wizarding world. The PC Police (death eaters?) of the media wont allow it.
• I for one would love it if Obama called McCain a senile old goat or McCain called Obama "Tar Baby" during a debate and I think even Hillary supporters would agree that "*****" wouldn't be far off the mark as an apt description.
• Well, Barack's dad was a Muslim which means that Barack was Muslim from the moment of his birth under sharia (Islamic law) until he was baptized into Christianity at age 26 at Trinity. So folks who erroneously think Barack is a current Muslim are not too far off -- he is a former Muslim guilty of the highest crime in Islam - apostasy or "irtidad" -- punishable by death in the Middle East according to a NYT article by Edward Luttwak.

Of course, there were reasonable comments, too. I just found these more interesting.
