"She simply states the obvious true statement--- your Presidential candidate has no more experience than she does, or less (community organizer)"
Wrong.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
What she said was, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities."
Now, so the point isn't lost on you, I'll revert to the inelegant but easily digestible analogous sentence:
"Being a community organizer is sort of like being a POW, except that you have actual responsibilities." --Barack Obama
WHOA! He. Did. Not. Just. Go. There. That is an affront to every POW--everywhere. What lack of taste, what nerve, what despicable character, what--oh, what's that you say? You didn't mean ALL POW's? Just John McCain?
Huh. Funny how it reads when you switch the roles around a little bit. But I guess insulting a profession that includes Martin Luther King, Jr. is OK when you're defending yourself against--well, not against the person you're actually insulting, but against bloggers and posters and hacks, oh my!
Let's try some others:
"No, not all mothers of pregnant teens! Just Sarah Palin!"
"I didn't mean ALL black people--just Barack Obama! Sheesh!"
"What? All widowers? No, you idiot, I was just defending myself again Joe Biden!"
"Huh? You seriously thought I meant ALL victims of torture? What a jerk! I just meant John McCain!"
