Conservative criticism of Michelle Obama has no merit whatsoever and serves only as an outlet of right-wing hatred. That's the impression that Los Angeles Times reporter Robin Abcarian leaves readers with his June 11 story, "The GOP takes aim at Michelle Obama.":
They loved to hate Hillary Rodham Clinton. They loved to hate Teresa Heinz Kerry. And now, it appears, conservative voices are energetically taking on Michelle Obama.
"Mrs. Grievance" bellowed the cover of a recent National Review, which featured a photo of a fierce-looking Obama. The magazine's online edition titled an essay about her stump speech "America's Unhappiest Millionaire."
Michelle Malkin, the popular conservative blogger, called her "Obama's bitter half."
It was an unscripted remark as she spoke in February about the enthusiastic response to his message of hope that set off conservatives: "And let me tell you something," she told a Wisconsin crowd. "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."
The Obama campaign clarified her remarks right away: "What she meant is that she's really proud at this moment because for the first time in a long time, thousands of Americans who've never participated in politics before are coming out in record numbers to build a grass-roots movement for change."
But conservatives pressed the attack. John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary, wrote that she had inadvertently revealed "the pseudo-messianic nature of the Obama candidacy."
The issue has shown no signs of going away.
Old story. Nothing to see here, let's move along, Abcarian seems to be saying. To that end the Times staffer coughed up a Republican pollster to decry the conservative attack as emblematic of what's wrong with political discourse:
"It's exactly why I hate politics," said Republican pollster Frank Luntz.

Yes, of course. These women never bring these things on themselves.
Like spoiled children, they shoot their mouths off and they and their apologists can’t stand being called out.
The Obama campaign and its sycophants will not only object at anything said about their candidate but they will start to object to anything as yet unsaid and will go so far as to call these unsaid things hateful and racist.
Unbelievable.

HATE!!! HATE!!!! HATE!!!!!! FEST HATE!!!!!! FEST Wow that was fun.
If politician’s spouses (men and women alike) decide to actively engage in the political arena of ideas, they should be fair game. If they don’t like it, then they can stay home and play golf or bake cookies.
Expect more, and our gals in media need to strike back at these liberal hags.
Content of character(s) BUMP!
(thanks to Barack for knocking out Hillary Clinton)
I don’t hate her, but if she’s going to run garbage out her mouth, I’m going to comment on it.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
VOTE NOBAMANATION 2008
Hil-liar-y was power hungry and mobster like...
Teresa was just plain nutso koo koo...
Michelle is dangerous, racist, socialist, evil, radical....
To paraphrase Will Rogers, we don’t make this stuff up.
All we do is marvel at the things she says and does.
For the first time in my adult life, I’m proud to hate a woman.
Rush discussed this first hour.
Great- now the liberal bias media are condemning conservatives based on what they THINK they might do in the future...
Great reporting!
With the lovely and charming Mrs Barry, the L A Times gets it right, it is all about the hate. What they are not suprisingly confused about is the whether she be pitching or she be catching. Obviously, she be pitching, because she be to busy slinging crap to be catching crap off anybody else, particulary her husband Barry who be trained to not even think about it, and particularly Whitey, who will be getting his, when her and Barry get some control over the military, the police, and the courts.
An Affirmative Action Graduate of America’s finest Universities - who sat for decades in Rev. Wright’s church of “Black Liberation Theology” and who wasn’t proud of America until her racist Affirmative Action husband became a nominee of the DNC, deserves all the scorn and derision directed at her.
This couple is a MOCKERY of all that America and our Constitution intended for our Republic.

The Demagogues and the MSM love to shove these vicious far-left hacks at us and demand that we regard them as kindly centrist All-American moderates. The reason that Shrillay, Teresa, and Michelle Obamanation meet with hostility and outrage is because they are DISHONEST as well as VICIOUS in their onslaught.
fwiw, I don’t remember Tipper Gore ever arousing such ire, unless I missed something. Whatever her faults might be, she did not come at us promising to re-make society and force a socialist agenda down our unwilling throats.
