The nerve of that woman!

The right wing over-reaction is so predictable:

1. The First Lady makes a statement in favor of the public interest, based on well-proven science.

2. The rabid right responds with looney statements and insulting, low-brow comments about her.

3. Rational individuals point out their disconnection with reality.

4. This elicits only more Pavlovian growling and barking.

The right's mentality.

Carrying that water like a champ.

Point out exactly what was idiotic & why it was idiotic.

Oh wait we don't have to imagine.
Maybe the "who's" are the ones who should be heard from. Brian Williams and Stephanopoulas have certainly proven that liars can make it to high places in mainstream journalism.

...it really is creepy. Especially when both the left and right posters bag on it, and they still continue like anyone cares.

The o'bagger cult is creepy and depressing all at the same time. It's amazing if they really believe what they post. Talk about blinders.

Again, point out what was idiotic that she said & why it was idiotic. It's so interesting when cons are asked to back up their claims, they never can. Ever. Instead, they ignore or deflect. So pathetic.

You don't get to discard things with your no hands.




Sorry, couldn't resist.

And, graduates, with a degree from this amazing school, and all the status and connections that degree confers, you don’t get to have no hands. No, you don’t get to be precious or cautious or cynical. No, not when the earth is warming and the oceans are rising. You don’t get to be cynical. Not when too many young people still languish in communities ripped apart by violence and despair. Not when women still make less than men for the same work. Not when millions of girls across the globe never set foot inside a school. (Applause.) No, not when many young people just like you -- the men and women we honor this Memorial Day –- have sacrificed their lives for your freedom to make your voice heard. You don’t get to have no hands."


It is not a double negative and taken in context it is grammatically correct. Seems like the real dummies here are the ones who couldn't take the time to read the speech before making fools of yourselves
Oh, I heard the diatribe ... er "speech."

It still makes no sense. It's full of words, clichés and meaningless liberal gobbledygook. And notice that she told them to go out and vote Democrat. Never mind that some who were her audience may not buy her political views, but instead are conservatives.

This woman is just a dumb ass. A complete embarrassment.

Let's be honest, the real issue is that she is black and she is married to Barack Obama, if not this would never have been a subject worthy of criticism.

If you say "let's be honest" perhaps you should actually do so; at least come up with something better than the tired race card...

No, the real issue is that she is stupid.
