I know the truth is often incompatible with the narrative you want to promote, but this one is pretty obvious if you watch what actually happened.
True, but they really need that narrative.

Actually, Mrs S never did rebut my claim that she may be a racist. Hmmm.
You seem to be the only one answering for her.

Racist innuendo? That's a good one. If you think there was racism there you clearly do think that anyone who has anything to say about the Obamas is a racist. But.....I'll bite. What was racist in those first 11 posts that caused you to feel the need to cry racism in post #12 of the thread?

I'm sorry but people in this thread are sooo nasty and hateful. They really should be ashamed of themselves. It's disgraceful and disgusting. It's also impossible to have a productive conversation about politics with anyone that has the mentality of an eight year old school yard bully. They start these idiotic threads and the rest of their zombies just jump in and parrot the same things over and over and over again. I guess it makes them feel good that there are other miserable, hateful intellectually challenged individuals just like them who think they are accomplishing something with their e-bullying.

There you have it. Another self-proclaimed intellectually superior liberal has spoken. Anyone who disagresss with him or her is clearly ignorant.

I don't know about all Liberals but anyone who refers to the FLOTUS as Moo-Chelle and resorts to childish insults or defends this behavior is not only intellectually challenged, they are morally challenged as well. It's not about disagreeing with me, it's about acting like an eight year old.

Sometimes people are racist and accusing everyone who calls them on it of playing the race card doesn't change that. You don't have to use the N word, have a swastika tattooed on you or burn a cross to be racist. I haven't called anyone racist in this thread but if you are constantly being called racist, it's probably true. It's petty threads like this where people end up getting called racist. The thread and the hatred in here have no basis.

If you want to talk about issues, no one is going to accuse you of being racist. If you want to talk about how someone put their feet on their desk or call them fat, ugly, an illegal alien and make unreasonable and unusual requests that have never been to any other president, there aren't too many explanations for it. However, there is one distinct difference between other First couples and this one, other than the scrutiny they face. So if you put two and two together....Oh nevermind, I am asking too much of you.

This thread is a prime example of how civil discourse has degenerated into name-calling, finger-pointing rantings. We all need to take a deep breath and step back.
We are talking about the President and the First Lady. I believe we must respect the office. The President is our representative. You may disagree with his policies, but leave all the personal attacks out. I hated that when it happened to Bush, also when Limbaugh excoriated Clinton every single day for 8 years. OMG. If we can't learn to respectfully disagree, then I fear for our great nation.
Another thing, speaking of the hand shaking incident, why didn't the gentleman who was in line with them, telling them who the next person was, why didn't he say something to discretely steer the First Lady to the proper protocol? I think the guy in line just lost his cool and shook her hand. Looked to me like he initiated it.
This is a mountain out of a mole hill scenario. Give 'em a break!
And Michelle is not fat!
Just my 2 cents.

Don't you jump right in on the Beck bashing fest whenever you can? I thought so.... You just don't like MOO-Shell being called out for her hypocritical healthy eating rhetoric while she stuffs a few cheese burgers and a coouple packs of fries down her gullet.

Glenn Beck is not the POTUS or the FLOTUS (THANK GOD!) and you won't find me attacking his appearance. How clever, original and creative you are...over and over and over and over again....keep it up.

Who cares who they are. They are not royalty no matter what they or you think. They are open for criticism and when Moo-Moo plays her typical hypocritical self by preaching healthy eating while she gobbles down a few burgers and fries herself all the while toting a spare tire around with her, she will get blasted and rightfully so.
