Mrs. Obama is our FLOTUS.
The howler monkeys who throw their poop against the wall every time Mrs. O. says "the" are the JETSAM.
Here's the inimitable Sheria of The Swash Zone to tell us about the very sorry JETSAM, who, on cue, feel the urgent need to say something stupid and malicious about our First Lady.
Subway Partners with Michelle Obama, Sincerely Ignorant respond with Hate
Seriously, they can only wish their women were as intelligent, gracious, and gorgeous:

Enjoyed the read and your take.
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
Who are "they," and who are "their women?"
Are we back to the days of human chattel?
Good Morning Shaw,
"Just more right-winger lies."
At least they finally admit their perfidity.
Check your email.
"Who are they? And who are their women?"
Google is not difficult to use.
well...Michelle has all the ingredients that would piss off a right wing moron....
she is intelligent and accomplished
she is a very attractive woman
she is a democrat
she is articulate
.......and.... she is a black woman sleeping in the White House
but, reverse the order and there lies the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Despite the warning and to my profound regret, I visited the Facebook page referenced by Sheria and found this comment:
“Just because I hate her dont [sic] make me a racist.”
Analogues:
A liter of whiskey a day doesn’t turn me into an alcoholic;
Vandalizing your house doesn’t make me a vandal; and
Torturing living beings doesn’t make me a sadist.
Crazy people! My first reaction was one of momentary confusion, the kind shock one feels when assaulted by a random assailant: Rage without reason, viciousness without explanation or purpose, followed by the infinite fault loop of self-exonerating denial. I selected this comment because I think it captures the essence of these crazy people.
Yet, I see little profit in joining the chorus of outrage. Crazy people do crazy things to annoy us, and our outrage will never change or silence them, or change the polarized country that we have become.
In fact, our justifiable outrage may even be counter-productive. Knowing in advance that craziness annoys us, they can always count on us to take the bait, and this gives them power over us. They will accuse us of political correctness, of censoring their precious right to be crazy, and then play the victim card.
In allowing ourselves to be bullied by these provocations, we confer the attention and legitimacy upon which they thrive, empower them more than they deserve … and more than we should. Sometimes, but not always, their own craziness should condemn them without allowing ourselves to fall into these traps.
Shaw Kenawe (1:50 PM, January 27, 2014):
I agree with what (O)CT(O)PUS says. But I'm also aware that when the blogging crazies publish lies, misrepresentations, and downright slander and it goes unchallenged, aren't we, in a way, participating in that ourselves by not setting out the facts to counter the b.s.?”
An interesting and thought-provoking comment. I was thinking of such exceptions when I used the qualifying phrase< “Sometimes, but not always …” (in fact, I removed an earlier draft of this comment to include this phrase).
Perhaps there may be some kind of litmus test to guide us, one that helps us separate worthwhile expressions of outrage from mere exercises in futility:
Fair game:
Office holders,
Politicians,
Candidates for public office,
News Media;
Clergy …
… IOW, influencers of public opinion.
Worthy of being ignored:
Anonymous rabble,
Trolls,
FaceBook comments and opinion,
… IOW, noisemakers and time wasters.
Whether to respond or to ignore, this has always been a serious challenge as long as I can remember. Without doubt, this is a discussion well worth having.

Do Republicans have a inbred hatred of women? We'll let Eric Erickson, a biggie in the Conservative pundit world tell us how he feels about women and, lastly, Mrs. Obama.
Erickson has a long history of sexist remarks. He previously directed liberals to a website selling coat hangers after Texas passed restrictions on abortions, stated that "the crux of the problem" was that "some women believe they can have it all," and was widely criticized after he tweeted of the first night of the 2012 Democratic National Convention, "First night of the Vagina Monologues in Charlotte going as expected." Before working at Fox, Erickson also referred to the National Organization for Women as the "NAG Gang" who were "angry in their unibrows," described feminists as humorless women "too ugly to get a date," and called Michelle Obama "a Marxist harpy."
A lot of Conservatives LOVE him.
But...but...the GOP has no "war on women!" They just think it's cute to demean and degrade them every chance they get.
It's all just one big vajayjay joke!
Yay Gee-Oh-Pee!

Just wondering...
Are Gee Oh Per persons the counter to Dem Oh Crap persons?
Inquiring minds want to know.
As the adult children continue their play...
RN,
Gee Oh Pee is the phonetic for the letters GOP.
"Dem Oh Crap" doesn't sound like Dem-o-CRAT.
Another attempt to be "fair and balanced?"
;-)
As fair (which means squat as it subjective) and balanced as what I read on progressive sites.
:-)
I used to wonder how the constant rage didn't give wingnuts strokes. Considering what they rage on about, though, now I wonder if those strokes haven't already happened.

A Dem-Ohh-Cat is a cute furry animal. The Gee-Ohh-Pee suffers from incontinence and always misses the litter box.
