Only In America: Michelle Obama and the Heckler

[Number23]

3. Do I think that this criticism of Michelle is racist? No

Would I have liked for her to have handled the situation a bit differently? Yes.

Do I think the heckler was being INCREDIBLY rude and needlessly obnoxious? Yes. I agree with you that this woman has every right to be a hell raiser on this issue. I fully support that. Protesting is the American way and I don't think that anyone would begrudge her that right.

But that doesn't mean that you heckle the First Lady at a private fundraiser at someone's house when she was invited to speak. As someone perfectly said in that thread, "I wish this woman would direct her anger at the Republicans instead of at the First Lady." That would go a hell of alot further in my opinion. And if this woman and others do choose to go that route, that's their prerogative. But they just need to be prepared that there will be alot of people who won't in any way agree with their methods. Which is what you see up and down that thread.
