The Freepers would like you to know Michelle Obama is fat (don't believe your lyin' eyes!)

Michelle Obama is, obviously, in great shape. She's also a beautiful woman. But don't tell that to the Freepers. They are not buying it.

This is the thread in question: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2993525/posts#comment

The OP links to this article: http://www.today.com/moms/michelle-obama-i-dont-talk-about-weight-my-daughters-1C8661415

Responses:

Why doesn’t the First Hamhock talk to the the Number One demographic of the fattest of the Fatties?

Middle aged, African American Women?????


“Michelle Obama: I Don’t Talk About Weight With my Daughters”

Perhaps you should LARD ASS...


If my butt looked like the South end of a Mack Truck, I would not talk about weight either.


Her weight or theirs? If she isn’t the largest first lady of the modern era, who is?


When you’re rich and part of the elite you truly don’t realize that most people can’t afford healthy food. My wife and I have been working on eating healthier and it’s costly. FFLOTUS (the first “F” stands for fat) is like Oprah. They would never want “those people” anywhere near them.

(I mean, not to mention that she's like, seven, so her political ideology is hardly relevant at this point).

I live around people that look and talk a lot like Honey Boo Boo and her family, and the ones that don't get reality TV shows have it pretty rough, and a lot of them are very good people that have helped me when I have had it rough (and no, they are not all Republicans; there are many Democrats who look and talk and live like the people on the various "red neck" stereotyping shows like Honey Boo Boo, etc.).

I know that you didn't mean any harm and your comment was lighthearted, but it hurts me to see people that I care about and want to see have a better life looked down upon. Nobody is trash. If I misinterpreted you in some way, I apologize. I have respected a lot of your posts in the past.

The Mother is very shrewd. That Woman has a good sense on how to work Hollywood! Just like the propaganda crew on the other side knows how to work their hard core followers. That is where this stuff about Mrs. Obama is coming from.

Mind you a big gamble to let this kind of stuff get out in circulation, however to keep the kids in the business somehow after the show, it was a good move. And Mama June shows her real smarts at making sure to set up trust for the kids. PR genies if ever I saw it!

This woman is looking at the future and I am sure she is looking at the tax laws right now. They are starting to clime up the ladder, and Mama strikes me as the type that wants to keep as much as possible no mater how it is hurting this nation.

Honey Boo Boo will say what she is told to and Mama will hit the Republican choice in the voting booth!

I get so disgusted by these kinds of attacks. And mixed feelings, cause part of my reaction is "Of course she's not" and the other part is sad that people's (and yes, particularly women's) value is so often tied to a number on the scale. What if she were a few pounds heavier? She'd still rock.

She was/is pure POWER of will. It is neither masculine or feminine. It makes her one you beg to have on your side and pray to God not to have against you!

I mean, they didn't have Barbie figures but we aren't talking about twenty-year-olds. In any case, I just am not that comfortable dissecting the bodies of first ladies (or any woman, really) in the negative way of the OP.

This is yet another vile racist dog-whistle. They can't call her the n-bomb, so they call her fat, which calls up that stereotype.

I don't really give a flying fuck about what they say over there.

Posting a link from over there used to be a TOS violation from what I recall.

If not, I wish it was.

To me, she looks athletic with your normal few extra pounds from having kids and age. But overall, pretty darn good shape for 2 kids and nearly 50.

choose to end with an op about the controversy about the FLOTUS'S fat butt as he termed it. Country is on brink of devastating cuts to the economic stability of its people and the media chases another distraction. The President might as well lean back, put his feet up on the desk, hands behind his head and relax because between the rethugs and the media, he will not be able to get anything accomplished. Damn third world..........

Basically, it comes down to this...

It's racism.

"Black = On welfare
On welfare = Sedentary lifestyle
Sedentary lifestyle = Fat"

It doesn't matter who the person is, what the person does, or the health of the person; the freepers will believe that a black person is living on welfare and has a sedentary lifestyle... even when the black person is none of those things.

But objectivity is not their strong suit.

As for themselves, I'd love to see their photos.

My father is a Catholic who would be a liberal if not for the abortion obsession, and even he admits Michelle Obama is beautiful.
