Are you shitting me?Exactly.The Saudis are freaking because Michelle Obama refused to wear a veil
Imagine the number of rightwing threads we would have gotten if she did
Imagine...
Just imagine
if she had done this:
There would have been no controversy. she's in ther country, she should respect the culture. As is I'm sure she offended a lot of people.
The right wing had a freakin' bird when Nancy Pelosi wore a headscarf in a Muslim country.
Michelle doing it would have lit their hateful little ears on fire.
I lean right, I think it would be the proper thing to do for a dignitary of her stature. After all isn't she one of the same people perching tolerance to us all the time? It doesn't seem to she's being very tolerant. The truth is the Saudis do have a backwards culture in many ways, Obama would never say that, but it's true. What she's doing is protesting, which won't amount to anything but an insult to the Saudis.
