The right wing’s hideous crusade against Michelle Obama has completely fallen apart
Salon ^ | September 3, 2015 | Heather Digby Parton

From the moment Michelle Obama burst on to the national scene back in 2008, she inspired a level of right wing loathing only slightly less intense than that visited on her husband. Indeed, there have been times it has seemed as though they hated her even more. ...

[Snip]

Obama has been an exemplary first lady and is extremely popular with the public, having shown good humor and style throughout her tenure; so it’s been very difficult for the right to find anything to criticize.That hasn’t stopped them, of course. There is nothing even remotely controversial about her work with military families, a constituency they feel belongs to them, so anything they might pounce on there is an unlikely target for GOP ire. But this mother of two daughters having the temerity to initiate a program to encourage kids to eat healthy foods and exercise has sent them into fits of hysteria.

[Snip]

Michelle Obama has endured an orgy of insults from the likes of Limbaugh and Palin. But her legacy will exceed anything those two have ever done. If, in spite of tremendous gridlock and partisan obstructionism, her efforts have helped to stall the epidemic of childhood obesity and educate the government and the public about the necessity of eating healthier and getting some exercise, then she’s done more than 90 percent of the U.S. Congress to better the lives of the American people.

Michelle Obama is cut from the same socialist/statist bolt of cloth as Hillary and Senator Fauxcahontas Warren.

I always appreciate Michelle's style. It's not too often that you see someone that dresses like an explosion in a thrift shop.

I think what most people find offensive is Shellie’s continuous, unabated and self proclaimed victimhood. Every speech she gives is about HER and her non-existent struggles against The Man, all because she’s non white. Boo hoo for Shellie...

It looks like we might be trading in the Walmart trash Mooochelle, for ...

I am not sure how to classify Melania Trump...

But at least Melania is easy on the eyes.

Oboy, more zero worship from the Salon-0bama propaganda dept. Noticed the comment section at article source is disabled. Funny how that keeps happening to articles [webwide] that might draw negative criticism of der regime and its brainless leaderp.

I believe that this is called ‘projection’ and is a reactive defense against what the originator was/is doing to their ‘subjects!’

Besides her hideous school lunches is she even in the News now a days? Are they trying to prop her up for a 2016 presidential run or something?

What crusade? I wasn’t aware of one. Maybe that is why the crusade fell apart.

Nobody knew about it.

Trump/Cruz need to announce they will get rid of Michelle's school lunches. Let local school boards decide what to feed students.
