Michelle Obama and the case of the angry media turds ...

a lump of excrement.

C&L has a post titled: Cal Thomas says America only sees ‘Angry black women’ on TV
The attacks on Michelle Obama have “only just begun.” On FOX News Watch last week, James Pinkerton was his usual smarmy self, but Cal Thomas engaged in some of the most racist diatribes I’ve seen so far on television.
It's the media that's angry with an anger that is primed and focused by the corporate bosses who insist on the GOP line, whatever that may be at the present time.

This time the corporate/GOP goal is to support McCain and attack Democrats, any and all Democrats except those special few pseudo Democrats who love being humiliated on TV.

With Michelle Obama the media gets a bonanza. She female and black. They can be so creative with their hate against women and blacks. And when it comes to women we already know that the media looks at us as fair game anyway. With blacks they have to be a little bit more subtle, but will that still be the case by the time this campaign is over? Whatever they do they will forgive themselves afterward and then continue business as usual.

As we've already witnessed the media has completely exonerated themselves of all blame in their blatant, overt, crude and disgusting display of sexism in the case of Hillary Clinton. Either the coverage was an accident, or it wasn't really that bad, or it was misunderstood, or they didn't really mean it, or it was just a joke already, or it was her fault anyway as she was too bossy, too weak, too determined, too whiney, not emotional enough, too emotional and on and on and on. The bottom media line is always that their victims deserve what they get.

[I did notice that the Obama campaign didn't seem to care in the case of Hillary, though. Democrats just don't come to the defense of principles if it might help their opponent, it seems. Now we know that Obama won't defend the Constitution on principle either.]

But I'm not a very good Democrat anyway so I'll state that Michelle Obama should not be subjected to the media torture that's already starting. It's embarrassing for our country that Hillary was treated this way. Michelle is not even running for office and the media are sharpening their knives, doing the GOP/Corporate bidding. They've been well trained or well recruited. They are doing what comes naturally. Point out the target and the hate comes spewing out.

And it's usually going to be a Democrat. Female Democrats are special fun. Of course flood victims, abused children will work in a pinch.

Stop it. Don't you see what you are doing/have done to our country?
