Lay the F*** off Michelle Obama

[Scoobs]

Look, I watch the news. I'm used to networks putting ridiculous and sensationalist stories out there every day, but Michelle Obama? This is just so damn far fetched and knowingly wrong. Hey, I mean, networks put out what'll get the most hits and views but then turn around and claim they're true to the politics. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Look at Cindy McCain! What about that whole "stealing drugs from her charity" business? I'd like to think that that deserves more attention than a damn form of handshake. Check out this little campaign sticker for Cindy's mishap:

2. Send a subtle message about Cindy McCain

Senator Obama should say something like, "I'm running; Michelle isn't. I hope we can focus on the issues that Americans care most about. I hope no one scrutinizes every thought, statement, and behavior Cindy McCain has ever had like they are Michelle's. The American people deserve better." This sends a message that you are willing to get your hands dirty too (and will probably get the media talking about Cindy's past problems). I think Bill Clinton is the only Democrat in my life time who would make a statement like this or statements like the ones I suggested in the thread asking why it's wrong to be Muslim. No one understood as well as he did how to FIGHT back.

3. It's too bad the original purpose of the OP has been taken over.

4. Did something happen today that dredged up all the just under

the surface anger? :wtf: Every other thread is being hijacked (ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but there have been more than a few)

5. It's beyond ridiculous.

They're spreading their bitterness all over the damn forum tonight.

6. Interesting, isn't it? Let's see ....

Saturday ... a few glasses of whine ... a few sour grapes ... sitting around with friends and sharpening axes. :eyes:

7. It was The Reckoning.

Every one of the tiny number of people who made it on to my ignore list for being complete assholes has now been departed (verb).

[Scoobs]

11. The subthread got deleted

But I'm guessing it had something to do with "well, why did you have no problem when Hillary got attacked?" or something along those lines. Am I right?

10. i didn't like it when she said she had never been proud of this country

in her adult life. That was uncalled for.

[Raine]

14. LOL, already eating the granite pizza

I see. :rofl: I guess it was YOUR comment that was uncalled for, Hahaha. :think:

[Mooney]

16. Damn, that was fast.

I guess that after the last five months the mods can smell an interloper at 500 paces.

[Mooney]

15. I have yet to be proud of my country.

And over the last eight years, I've been actively ashamed of it.

I think Michelle Obama is 100% correct.

[LawyersGunsandMoney]

12. I think this is a slippery slope for them

if they want to go after Michele they better know we're coming after Cindy.

[BlooInBloo]

17. There's no slippery slope. One of them's blackitybklackityblackblack.

13. I think both wives are fair game.

Although we are not voting for the wives, I think who they are married to says lot about their characters.

But I think the kids should be off limits 100 percent. The kids have no choice in whether or not their parents run for office.

19. FYI

I don't think I've ever said anything at all, at DU or anywhere else, about Michelle Obama. She's never even appeared on my radar.

Until now. A hint: don't tell me to "lay the fuck off" of something. That's an aggressive "push" that is likely to result in me pushing back...hard.

So now I have to say something negative about her, because you told me not to. The problem is, I don't know anything of substance to say. I guess that doesn't matter, since there is plenty substance-less bashing that occurs on DU.

How about this?

I'd never support anyone named "Michelle." No French names allowed! If she wants my support, she'll have to change her name to "Mickey."

Oh, you weren't talking to me? :blush:

I didn't notice the MSM in the room. They don't get any airtime at my place.

20. I really don't think its an issue

The attacks are pretty damn pathetic when it comes down to it. It just shows that the republicans don't have anything else better to run on.
