Raise your hand if you enjoyed/cheered when that guy threw a shoe at George W. Bush.

229. This entire thread is comparing those words aimed at Michelle to those shoes thrown at Porgie.

Re-read the OP. Look at how many "recs" this sick post got. The OP is saying shoes and words are the same thing, and tee-hee-hee ain't it funny. And you and you and you think so, because the OP has declared that to be his truth. Well, it ain't my truth.

But hey, all you have to do is click on the recs to see the names of those who agrees with that sick premise.

Laura, like Michelle, was not a paid representative of the US government. She was a spouse of an official. And Laura didn't give policy speeches on Iraq, ever. Nor has Michelle done anything but tout, in a positive fashion, causes like fitness, childhood health, support for military families, good food choices, and -- as in this instance--support for inner city youth.

Is it "OK" then, to berate any spouse of a politician, speaking on any topic, about something you want their other half to do? Go yell at Eric Holder's wife while she's buying underwear at Target. Take out Harry Reid's wife while she's picking up the drycleaning....yeah, that's the ticket. I thought the GOP were the crude, rude, "uncivil assholes" party????

The hosts of this party where Michelle was giving her "non-policy" speech on how we need to give a shit about urban kids in poverty, per Larry O'Donnell's show, were a married lesbian couple. Plainly they didn't have a problem tossing this tone-deaf shit-stirrer out. Perhaps the disruptor thought that her hosts wouldn't mind her fucking up their party, just because of their orientation...? Maybe that's why she was "taken aback?" If she thought she was going to incite a "Yeah--what about your HUSBAND!!!!" riot at this little soiree, she got schooled as she got thrown out on her ass.

I think this not-brave person needs to find a way to confront Speaker Boehner and his crowd of crony-haters. That'll give her some "cred." Right now, she's just an attention mongering asshole, yelling at people who want true Equality, not half-stepping measures that could be stripped away (like federal stem cell research was for eight long years under Dumbya) with a change in Presidents. Talk about something to cry about!

Put an "executive order" bandaid on employment non-discrimination issues, and three years from now, that bandaid could fall off....and then we'd be right back where we are now.

Let's FIX it--and the way to fix it is to make Boehner's life, and the lives of his crony-haters, miserable. The more people are aware of their hate-filled views, the more people who have a son, daughter, brother, sister, or parent who is gay will realize that these GOP assholes are discriminating against THEIR loved ones. This bullshit of blaming the Democrats for a problem that only the GOP--since they OWN the House and all law starts there--can fix, needs to STOP.

I'm sick of it.
