Author and sex columnist Dan Savage says many liberals are giving first lady Melania Trump a pass because she’s pretty — and that she doesn’t deserve one.
“God knows there’s enough hate in the world and I don’t want to add to the sum total, but forgive me, I have got to get this off my chest: I f—ing hate Melania Trump,” Savage said at the start of his latest “Savage Love” podcast.
“I’m not alone in loathing Donald Trump’s third wife — she’s married to a misogynist after all. Odds are good her husband hates her too,” Savage continued. “But there are some folks on the left who not only don’t hate her, they view her as some sort of sympathetic figure. The pretty princess in the tower locked up by the orange ogre with the bad combover, a princess desperately blinking out distress signals during swearing-in ceremonies and inaugural balls.”

Savage is right that some liberals have expressed at least sarcastic sympathy for the first lady — “Free Melania” signs were a not-uncommon sight at the Los Angeles Women’s March the day after Trump’s inauguration.
Savage said the “undeservedly charitable view” of Melania Trump comes from people’s tendency to “think that the insides of pretty people match the outsides of pretty people.”
“It’s definitely not true in this case. Mrs. Trump, Melania Trump, is as ugly on the inside as she is pretty on the outside. She is a birther. Pretty Melania went on TV to push the same racist conspiracy theories about Barack Obama that her husband did. She’s an immigrant who doesn’t give a s— about the plight of other immigrants. She’s famously a plagiarist. And she’s brought ruinous lawsuits against journalists and bloggers accusing them of among other things, potentially interfering with her ability to profit off her role as first lady.”

Melania Trump’s legal team has successfully targeted reporters who have made baseless suggestions that she worked as an escort years ago. Last month, a New York Times reporter apologized for calling her “a hooker.”
People of all political stripes have argued in in the past that presidents’ families should be off-limits in the criticisms of their policies. But Savage said President Obama’s right-wing critics didn’t apply that rule to Michelle Obama.
“I don’t know if you can impeach a first lady or how that would work, but I do know that we would have found out pretty f—ing fast if Michelle Obama had said the same during her husband’s presidency,” Savage said.

He also referred listeners to a ThinkProgress article about Melania Trump visiting a Washington, D.C. hospital where she reportedly said the power of nature could help heal sick children.
Savage said President Trump’s environmental policies and repeal of Obamacare would both hurt those children.
He also cited a pre-Obamacare Harvard University study that linked 45,000 deaths each year to a lack of health care coverage.
“That’s fifteen 9/11s every year,” he said.

Savage, a longtime activist and left-wing provocateur who formerly hosted an MTV advice show, has previously launched campaigns that ranged from the cruelly mischievous to the widely praised.
He and his husband, Terry Miller, introduced the It Gets Better project in 2010, in which people including President Obama recorded hopeful messages urging bullied gay teenagers not to commit suicide. Savage is also responsible for ruining former Sen. Rick Santorum’s Google results.
It’s looking like Melania Trump won’t get an invitation to film an It Gets Better video anytime soon.
She is a beautiful with class. She is everything thing her critics are not. Donald Trump is a very lucky man to have a lady such as her by his side. She did not not need Donald, he needed her to become complete. He is as very lucky man
“He and his husband, Terry Miller, introduced the It Gets Better project in 2010, in which people including President Obama recorded hopeful messages urging bullied gay teenagers not to commit suicide.”
Yet here he is, on his podcast, mocking and spitting venom at Melania Trump. And for absolutely no good reason other than he wants to rage in all out hatred on Trump’s wife - and Trump - and on a podcast too !
Way to set an example for bullied teens ya dumbarse !
This idiot needs to be ignored.
Public canings for homos.

Do the Syrian refugees understand that the expectation now is for them to become activists for the "plight of other immigrants," and simply wanting a better life for their own families is not good enough for liberals?

the homo guilt pumps up into their throats until they choke on it...deep down, they know somethings wrong..
Dan Savage is full of hate.
It is what the left does.
“It Gets Better?” Really? Apparently it doesn’t.
“Don’t kill yourselves, kids; you have so much to look forward to. Why, someday you might even be as happy and well adjusted as I am.”
What a bitter, godless lunatic; confused, miserable and a tool of satan. Pathetic existence. Sad!
I’ve taught many conservative women to just say thank you when the ‘B’ word is used:
Beautiful
Intelligent
Talented
Charming
Honest
This Savage character should be introduced up close and personal to the joys of a frontal lobotomy using a very rusty 10 Penny nail.
Why did they have to steal the “G” word?
and rainbows?
This from the same guy that admits licking door knobs when he is sick to try to spread his illness to those he doesn’t like?
Hey Dan- the ugliness you just displayed for hte world to see is the very reason liberals lost in november- but please feel free to keep exposing your party’s ugly side- more and more people will abandon your party as a result!
You will not grow poor betting that ghe leftist description of his enemy is that which he knows resides in himself.
The fag flag is missing a chakra - the third-eye chakra, that opens the consciousness and connects one to the spiritual world. Now I know why they use 6 colors. Fitting for Satanists.
I’ve never understood why women hang around with gays. They hate us. No matter how hard they try, they can’t be us. No matter how they try they can’t have something the plainest woman can have: the love of a straight man.
The guy’s blatant hypocrisy is jaw-dropping.
He’s gay! How would he know what any woman is like on the inside?
The fact is that Michelle Obama is ugly both on the inside and outside.
Forgive me but I have got to get this off my chest.....you are an ugly self absorbed app hole!
