Ya know, several times lately I’ve noticed people asking the question, does Glenn Beck check out free republic for information? Or, they’ll suggest that he should come here because of all the research us freepers do. But, do you really think someone as decent and respectable as Glenn Beck would come to this site for information if he’s going to find 500 threads a day calling Michelle Obama a fat slob? And then, of course, there are the threads that turn into a giant porn fest with as much cleavage as people can post because the right name was mentioned in the discussion.
I’m just saying. FR would have far greater impact and perhaps become a resource for people like Beck, etc. if it cleaned up it’s act a little. It didn’t used to be so trashy. Maybe it was, and the majority likes it that way. Just my 2 cents.
“I’m just saying. FR would have far greater impact and perhaps become a resource for people like Beck, etc. if it cleaned up it’s act a little.”
I disagree. As distasteful as this type of discussion may be to our more tender sensibilities, Alinsky RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” Pointing out Michelle’s slothful appearance and crude mannerisms is wrong on many levels, but it helps illustrate the wastefulness and arrogance that permeates the Obama administration from top to bottom. This tactic has been used extremely effectively against conservatives. These people are destroying our country! Maybe the time has come to take the gloves off and use some of the left’s own tactics against them.
You can talk about Obama taking no meaningful action to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons and no one cares. Then you can bring up something stupid like Michelle’s appearance being downright embarrassing and everyone in the world wants to get in on the discussion, even the mainstream media. So which discussion do you think does more to diminish Obama’s power to lead our country down a path to disaster? The people who will listen to a serious discussion on something important have mostly already made up their minds. Unfortunately, a discussion on Michelle’s bad appearance has a better chance of swaying those who have been sitting on the sidelines. It is stupid, but that is the unfortunately the situation we find ourselves in during these troubling times.
