A few here have reminded us that the thread was about a peace symbol on not one but two T-shirts sported by the president's eldest daughter.

A display photographed in company of allied heads of state (and an unnamed street thug look alike) and shown world wide; apparently sanctioned by her parents, and at a time when our troops are engaged with an enemy that plants &%*#.. BOMBS on kids younger than she is!

To my possibly over stressed mind: that's worthy of comment and the comment ain't likely to be nice.

The display was stupid, for the parents to allow or encourage it was crass. The overall look WAS ghetto, or maybe trailer trash, or maybe just disrespectful; pick one.

Our fashion icon of a first lady stands out like a barber poll at the Parthenon, the kids get to make political comments that their daddy has to keep bottled up inside, and we look like a laughing stock.

Where I DO take offense in the FR comments under that thread is in the Yo Mama kind of "what she said" sniping that leaks into SOME commentary. These people are socialists, not high school drop outs, they are absolutely capable of saying stupid, insulting, and/or scary, things in public, usually pronounced quite adequately.

Ya know, I was born and raised in the city, as diverse as one can be or as diverse a neighborhood can be and I’m so sick of all this PC crap. Personally, I think it’s from people that have no clue what it’s like to live in a freakin’ ghetto, yeah a ghetto. Fortunately, the area in the city I grew up in wasn’t what it’s like today. It was getting there, which is the reason I got out 20 years ago. But it was a ghetto of sorts. And today it’s much worse. And many people got out which is why the city is what it is today. WTH chooses to live like that?

I don’t give a damn if I’m called a racist or anything else...some of us not only lived in the so called ghetto, we were able to WORK our way out of it. And I’m damn tired of paying for those who don’t get up off their asses and work. I don’t give a damn what color/race one is but I know the so called minorities in this Country get a free pass on some things.
