Not really, it is why people associated the two remarks. Why some people are ZOMG!!1!!'ing everywhere about what he said.
Pretending that all things are in a vacuum is one of the simplest forms of disingenuous manipulation. That it cannot be seen from a larger context is definitely the favorite of people on this board. They'll forget what you said just one thread ago so that they can pretend there is some sort of dichotomy in what you stated just 2 seconds after.
Why would people assume he was taking a dig at Palin? Well, didn't she recently make a famous line about "lipstick"?
I'm not saying that it is what means he was saying she was a "pig" because I don't believe he was. I am saying it is why people associated the two statements.
No, its because McCain told them that was what he was doing, and some people are too dumb to figure out that McCain is lying! The same people who could not figure out the SBVFT were lying. The same people who could not figure out that Bush was lying for the first 6 years.
