Why the renewed rw war on the First Lady?

[Dot Com]

Must've had the embers stoked by Fox & Friends. Amiright? Whatever the reason, it makes the rw'ers who are perpetuating it- skye, misty, etc... extremely petty

NEWSFLASH!!! First Ladies aren't elected.

Saw the same deal with LWers on Mrs. Bush. SSDD.

 

[WillowTree]

She's not cordial and gracious, she's a true demon crap.

 

[Dot Com]

I forgot to add Willow & Sunshine:

It's really really hard to put lipstick on a pig.

And impossible to teach a pig to sing. Or in this case to act like a first lady. It wastes you time and annoys the pig.

I actually had a lot of respect for Mrs. Bush. Both of them.

I never said anything about her. Besides, as I said, First Ladies are not elected.

It's the new wig.... It's throwing us off...

 

[AmyNation]

"War on" has to be the most overused phrase of the last 4 years. Dear god let the next 4 be less warry.

 

[g5000]

She's not cordial and gracious, she's a true demon crap.

And she's black. And fat. And ugly. And has no class. Amiright?

While I think that we should "pull our punches" to some degree when discussing the First Ladies...I do think that anything they do in the public sphere is up for comment, critique, and downright criticism.

I feel that the disgusting comments regarding Laura Bush's teenage and college years I read on this site were unbelievably out of line, just like I view the rude comments about Michelle Obama's body, hair, attitude, etc.

I do think, however, that comments regarding Michelle Obama's "Just Move" campaign and decisions she makes that relate to that are fair game. I feel that trips she takes are fair game. I feel that when she makes a comment that reflects (or may reflect her opinion) regarding issues that I care about...she's fair game. She is the First Lady. She represents our nation. She chose that lifestyle by marrying a man who chose to run successfully for President of this nation.

I think that, for the most part, it is fairly easy to tell the difference between legitimate criticism and partisan meanness. I think, however, that each side tends to get a bit more defensive of "their" First Lady...which is, perhaps sadly, natural.

Excellent point.

I am not crazy about Michelle for what she said in the past and for her "politics" but I feel no "war" with her. She is the First Lady and while serving in that capacity, even unelected, I will give her the standard respect I give all First Ladies.

We all know the Obamas have no class.

It's really really hard to put lipstick on a pig.

You can take the Negros out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the Negros.

And that is just from the first page of 7 so far!

She embodies nearly everything the right hates in a woman.

Independent
Mind of her own
Successful
Minority
Outspoken

That's actually not a bad thread. The one about her hair is full of disgusting, out of line comments.

From page 2:

Stay Classy, Shelly.

What a fucking cow that woman is

I think science should check her DNA, she may actually be the missing link.

Michelle is the perfect example of, "you can take the girl out of the hood......but you can't take the hood out of the girl.

And, of course, they dragged out that invented bullshit about "all that for a damn flag".

I don't know why the blather from the left on here about George W Bush not attending the inauguration?

Obviously you are an active participant in the War on the Phrase "War on".

Apples and oranges.

And it is traditional for ex-Presidents to attend an inauguration unless their health prevents them from doing so.
