Let's spread it around. Everywhere someone disses Michelle Obama for supposedly not being proud of America, make sure you post/send/rec this.

1. i can already hear the parsing--"Bur but but...he said tough in some respects, that's all"

"he was referring to the liberals, not actual america, you know Merika??!!"

[krkaufman]

13. Yes, our dear journalists will defend McCain... because we all know *he's* a patriot ...

So can we at least critique his wits and alertness, at missing the obvious jab at Michelle Obama.

[redstate_democrat]

2. I love the fact that the caller/guy was educated at "Princeton" and "Harvard"

:rofl:

Is this serious? :rofl:

[tishaLA]

4. the guy was obviously taking a dig at Michelle

McCain was too fucking stupid to pick up on it, and then he stepped in it. I swear he has cognitive problems

[formercia]

6. His biopsy showed he still had a tiny amount of live connective tissue

but the cancer has difficulty feeding on it.

Scientist plan to compare it with connective tissue found in dinosaur fossils to see if there is a DNA match.

[krkaufman]

12. Exactly. And just what Politico blog is saying.

Politico: McCain doesn't pick up on Michelle Obama joke

I love it. How hilariously ironic that the questioner was being overly clever in trying to deride Michelle Obama, so clever that his dim-witted candidate didn't pick up on it and jumped into the hole that the questioner *thought* he was digging for Michelle.

3. k/r

[Hope And Change]

5. K & R!

[Window]

7. K/R.

:kick:

[tanyev]

8. Look out, John. They're going to send a GOP reprogramming team for you.

It's obviously time to lock you in a little room and force you to listen to a continuous loop of that wretched Lee Greenwood song for 72 hours straight.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

9. K&R

[DFW]

10. When a Democrat sits in the Oval Office, it will be a lot less tough to be proud of America

[krkaufman]

11. How hilariously ironic....

How hilariously ironic that the questioner was being overly clever in trying to deride Michelle Obama, so clever that his dim-witted candidate didn't pick up on it and jumped into the hole that the questioner *thought* he was digging for Michelle.

14. Has anyone sent this to KO yet?

[Zachstar]

16. Someone please do!

[KittyWampus]

15. this needs to be an Democratic ad.

[Zachstar]

17. McCain is a fucking idiot.

The question was designed to attack the Obamas and he fell into the trap set for the other side!

What an idiot! How do we expect him to lead the country?

[Phx_Dem]

21. Seriously.

What a fucking moron. And if the Republicans want to take Michelle's words out of context and use them against her, then I guess we can do the same for McDumbshit.

[Colobo]

18. Someone send this to Ben Smith @ Politico!

[Hope And Change]

19. Kick!

[truthisfreedom]

20. Audio sample needs to be longer... we need proof of context!

Get the whole sentence!

[vaberella]

22. Can someone please send this to the GOP and shut them the hell up.

[renate]

23. kick because I can't believe I missed this yesterday

... and I would hate for anybody else to miss it, too.
