Further more, those attacks don't justify attacks on Obama's children.

A handful of the 160+ posts on that thread mentioned Malia. The vast majority referred to the culpability of her parents in Malia's choice of dress.

Michelle is a legitimate target, and I'm sick of some of the PC nonsense I've seen lately regarding her. Too many apologists...that worked well for Bush and Republicans in general the last few years, right?

I agree, the kids are off limits, but Michelle and Barry are fair game. They don't get a free pass because they're black, although some FReepers seem to think they should.

Michelle and Barack are adults. Fair game. Enuff said.

Agreed. But course jesting is just dumb. We can, and most often are, more creative than that.

There's a difference between opposing their actions, and calling them "family of ghetto trash", "ghetto thugs", "A stain on America".

Last week someone posted Michelle Obama as Aunt Jemima. This is wrong.

Oppose their policies, but don't make racial insults.

They (Michelle and Barry) don't get a free pass because they're black...

Of course not. But should their being black leave them open to racial slurs and stereotypes?
