107. I called Kelly Ann trashy and she is.

Yep.

Tramp, trollop, hussy. SHE'D think nothing of calling another woman those words, but I MUST defend her because somebody else called her names? Uh, I don't think so. That would be like me defending a Neo-Nazi woman who called me the N-word or a half-breed or even Pocahontas. What, I couldn't call a Nazi woman who called me that a hussy? I have to go all Marquess of Queensberry rules and say, you're racially disparaging ME racially, but no, no, I won't call you that I think YOU are because I'm all Marquess of Queensberry PLEASE, I'll call her what I want to if she goes there with ME. End of story.

Michelle was called an ape in heels, monkey face, N-word, gorilla, man and while she went high while they went low on her and still continue to go low, that's Michelle. Love her, but that's Michelle, not me. That hussy Melania went all birther/racist in 2011 and questioned Pres. Obama's birth certificate's authenticity vs hers and in HER mind, her birth certificate was "fantastic" because she's white and European. His was fake because he was non-white.

If I'm in a verbal knife fight (And I've been in several along the rode in my life), I'm not standing around and allowing anybody to knife me verbally.
