Michelle Obama Insults Democrat Voters
The American Thinker ^ | 10-16-14 | Thomas Lifson

You can tell that Democrats are starting to panic. They are saying stupid things. Add to the list that includes Wendy Davis, Alison Grimes, and Mark Udall the name of First Lady Michelle Obama. She resorted to mocking Democrats as lazy and ungrammatical in hopes of motivating her dispirited base to the polls. Jeryl Bier reports in the Weekly Standard:

In speeches designed to fire up Democrats to vote in midterm elections, President Obama has at times described voters in his party as having a "congenital defect." Wednesday, First Lady Michelle Obama suggested the problem might just be that they're sleepy.

Mrs. Obama spoke at a rally in Philadelphia for the Democratic candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf. In an effort to boost turnout in November, the first lady told the crowd that she runs across voters "who are like, no, I ain’t going to vote, or I couldn’t wake up." But she stressed that every vote matters:

So this is where -- when I find people who are like, no, I ain’t going to vote, or I couldn’t wake up, or it doesn’t matter, or why -- 20 votes decided who your Governor was in 2010, and it could decide who the Governor is this time.

The first lady wasn't finished with the sleepy-voter theme. Later in her remarks, she expanded on the idea:

We have to try twice as hard to get the conservative vote out. We just can’t take 2 more years of this.

What? Corbett won the election in 2010 by 357,975 votes.

Democrat voters don’t have to vote in order for their vote to tally. Just watch any election in metro Atlanta where late arriving ballots suddenly tip a race the right way. Same for late counted absentee votes.

They can sleep in; their vote will be processed for them.

Unless testosterone starts to become fashionable in DC again, you have to take 2 more years of this crap.

Democrat politicians are incapable of telling the truth. Democrat voters are incapable of understanding the truth.

First thought upon reading the headline: Exactly how does someone insult a turd?

That used to happen in Detroit but I’m not sure it will happen this time. We have new laws that require state oversight and auditing of traditional problem areas. Its one of the reasons Detroit has their first white mayor in nearly 50 years.

That's what I was thinking.

"Hey all you lib lurkers, and 'rats reading this. Don't feel bad that Michelle has finally come out and said something blatantly insulting to you. You see, to the rest of us real American conservative types, virtually everything that spews out of her and hubby bammy's mouths is an insult. Welcome to the club, hope you're finally starting to wake up to what the obamas really are."

When you impugn someone else’s intelligence, it’s a good idea to use the correct words - not “they’re”, but “their” is the correct word in this instance.

A Democrat voter can't be insulted. They have no honor, no principles, the morals of an alleycat, no intelligence, no integrity. Again, they have nothing that can be impugned. Any comment directed to them, no matter how derogatory, can be taken as a complement
