by TheCrank
I'm waiting for the apologies from the right wingers to Michelle Obama. Because they love to smear and attack her on issues from her college thesis to apparently engineering forced eating of broccoli at gunpoint.
Seriously, I could give you 100 examples.
This one by a GOP Congressman about the size of her butt was particularly stupid and sexist.
Then there was attacking her for going to Target.
How about how bitter and angry Michelle Obama is.
Or Rush attacking her for eating ribs.
Or Limbaugh defending NASCAR fans who booed her, using the word "uppity".
Or the racist response to the false rumor Obama had spent $50,000 on underwear. ("She's trying to make up for the fact that she's not a thin, beautiful white woman. Cut her a little slack. It can't be easy looking like a baboon in a dress."
<...>
Or depicting Michelle Obama as Marie Antoinette.
Or for appearing on iCarly on Nickelodeon!
Or the party of Nancy Reagan attacking Mrs. Obama for wearing borrowed jewelry.
Or when Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann attacked the FLOTUS for supporting a very small tax break to offset the cost of breast pumps, a necessity for working mothers of infants.
Which lead to a combination of smears attempting to portray Mrs. Obama's intent was to "raise your children at gunpoint."

(3,190 posts)Is so stupid and immature that it falls in the same realm of a seven- or eight-year-old. Pure schoolyard bully bullshit...nothing substantiative.
Of course this sort of thing resonates with those who vote repub...same level of intelligence and maturity as a grade school bully.
