re: a conservative defense of Mrs. Obama (the over-the-top attacks on PT)

This woman gave birth to two children (both girls) and will forever be labeled a man around here.

I have never called her a man and I have never called her husband gay. Feel free to look up my posting history. The problem I have with her stems mostly from the left wing press.

I read TONS of articles a day. During the 8 years they were in office any time Michelle stepped out of the WH the press would run a pic with the title:
'Michelle Stuns in _______ outfit.'
or
'First Lady Dazzles in _________ dress.'

There is nothing stunning or dazzling about Michelle's looks. It would be kind to call her 'average' looking.

She is certainly much better looking than Hillary Clinton. But so is a fresh dog turd. Now, we have by far the most beautiful first lady in US history and the press hates her.

You're about as conservative as the pope is Catholic...

Hi, well I think you allowing your father in law or his friends to continue to say racial slurs around your company is setting us back and hurting the middle. If only you were a strong enough person to stand up and do what you're trying to preach to us now.

The OP is exactly right. Many here need to grow up. I wonder how many posters who have used that kind of personal attack consider themselves Christians.

We should run a classy man for President like...Mitt Romney or John McCain or Bob Dole

Mrs. Obama's speech where she said she was finally proud of America is what made me dislike her. She should have been proud since birth to live in the greatest country, with more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else on earth.

That and the abomination she pushed onto our school childrens school lunch program also contributed to my feelings about her.

You and I are in FULL agreement here.

I'm sorry, but Michelle said many and still does say many bombastic/inflammatory things. She was as divisive as her husband was/is. She deserves no respect or respite from criticism. When a woman tells America she is proud of America for the first time in her life because her husband was voted into a high office is disgusting and pathetic on so many levels.

Some of your family members using racist and reprehensible names does not make political opinions and ideals wrong, it just makes your family racist disgusting people.

Did you call out your FIL during the family gathering for using racist comments so openly and often? Did you stand up to him and tell him how wrong he was? Did you show your friend how morally strong you are by rebuking your wife's father? If you did not, and I have a strong suspicion you did nothing, then kindly gtfo.

When some of you folks go too far in your attacks on Mrs. Obama..

Outside of her "proud of America" statement I agree

"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."

And then, at a tailgate with my father in law... the N-word was uttered countless times. And most of the progress I had made was lost. The Purdue engineer was not gonna be voting my way any time soon.

Sounds like you made a bad decision on the type of people to associate with. I am from the south and conservative and my father in law and his friends don't ever use the N-word. I guess that's a good anecdotal rebuttal? Not sure what your point is with all that.
