I feel no one should attack the kids of a president.



That being said, the right wing in general are hypocrites . Those Sasha and Malia threads got so bad that they were completely deleted.

I do stand with children, unlike, those of you who pretend to when it benefits your cause.

But the 10 year old son of the POTUS, who has done nothing but act like a well-behaved 10 year old little boy? No.

Cross that line and expect backlash.
As the poster below posted......reminds me of how they treated Palin's child. Some even going so far as to say he should have been aborted. This is what is really turning me against these people, children are not protected by them. Are not wanted and many end up bringing up children just as messed up or hateful as they are.


Madonna and Rosie both have children who can't stand them!

Most of you don't even realize when some of the posters make a new account and do this. Its very easy to recognize a troll when one is posting.


Kind of like saying; 2 wrongs make it right.

Still doesn't change the fact that the ones attacking the Obama's kids are hypocrites. If "my" side has to own up to the SNL tweet, then "your" side has to own up to attacks on the Obama daughters.

It's Trump's child so in the mind of a progressive making a joke about a school shooting is A-OK

Please tell us who in the public media attacked Obama's girls? Are you equating people here on CD who are no-bodies to people working in the entertainment industry that make national news?

I'm a moderate/independent and I agree.


None of my business, that's between her and her bosses.

Getting fired or not does not represent a "free speech" issue.


Now, if the question was about whether or not she should be arrested or persecuted by the government in some way.....

I think that that tweet was in extremely poor taste and her continued employment is up to her employer.

Children should always be off limits. Always.

Oh... come on with the liberal vs conservative stuff, though.

Were you all on Mars when Rush Limbaugh's fat arse was so hateful about Chelsea Clinton's looks?

She was a kid. Come on.

It happens. People get overzealous. It's never appropriate, regardless of party affiliation.
