Dinesh D'Souza Says Michelle Obama's College Thesis Was 'Illiterate and Incoherent'

Dinesh D'Souza described Michelle Obama's college thesis as "illiterate and incoherent." The far-right author and filmmaker launched a scathing attack on the former first lady after she claimed that people at the most powerful organizations in the world were "not as smart" as some portrayed them to be.

"Anyone who has read Michelle's college thesis - a document so illiterate and incoherent that it was written, as Christopher Hitchens put it, in 'no known language' - will chuckle heartily at this one," D'Souza wrote on his Facebook page, sharing a link to a Newsweek article that reported Obama’s remark.

Obama attended Princeton University, where she majored in sociology and minored in African-American studies, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1985.

Three years later, she earned a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School, becoming the third first lady with a postgraduate degree after Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush, her two immediate predecessors at the White House.

Obama isn't the first Democrat woman to be criticized by D’Souza, who last month described congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the "stupidest person elected to public office."

"Until now I thought Joe Biden was the stupidest person elected to public office," he tweeted. "Not anymore!"

Both of them have the work ethics of Maynard G. Krebs!

Back when Zero was first elected to the Senate (or maybe was running!) I remember reading an interview of Michelle where she admits that they were several 100 thousand dollars in debt. Then Zero’s rise to fame in national politics occurred and things were now better. All in all the article even though the author tried to spin in positively did not show the Zero’s in a good light. It really was an admission that they - both Ivy League lawyers were irresponsible & immature. I think after he was elected Senator she got a “no work” $300K/year job in the legal department of a Chicago Hospital system. After he was elected Prez, the hospital quietly shelved the position.

I read it online years ago, so I imagine someone out there still has it up.

‘Michelle Obama called for segregated neighborhoods.

Blacks and whites are not to live in the same communities according to Obama.”

I’ll have to give her credit for that. She might not be so stupid after all.

Same here. I took Sociology because it was an easy A. Anyone who majored in Sociology would have been too stupid to major in Psychology.

We engineering students all were taught to take these classes to beef up our GPA. So, we took Astronomy, Photography, Scuba, Sociology, etc. It beat the heck out of Calculus III, Differential Equations, Statics, Mechanics,

I read it back in 2008, and I commented that it would have gotten me a “D” in seventh-grade English.

Well, then he is disrespecting his heritage (India/Hindu) and appropriating white privilege.

You know you’re right!

I feel violated!

I demand reparations!

His tranny card and black card got him the admissions and grades.

[Paal Gulli]

But the shhhhtruggle is real.

[Rockingham]

Somehow, that milestone passes uncelebrated and unmentioned by her or any biographer.

“Well he is a pretty dark complexion to be a white supremacist”

He probably had his skin darkened so he could be an undercover Nazi. /s

Thanks for the link, I’d like to make my own determination.

[Tomato lover]

Thanks, I will hunt for it when I get a chance.

Those are not disqualifying features for a sociology thesis.

They may be requirements.

[petitfour]

A person can be illiterate. A document cannot. A document can reflect that the writer is illiterate.

[nicollo]

Wow, first two paragraphs, at least four grammatical errors and one typo.

[kearnyirish2]

True dat!

[kearnyirish2]

Yes, a friend would look at professors’ grades at the end of a semester for classes he wanted to take the following; he’d make sure he ended up with the easiest graders. I would never do that in my major, otherwise my degree would be as worthless as an urban high school diploma.

I only had them (as a business-related major) because we were specifically required to take 12 credits outside the major and outside the general requirements; in hindsight I should have taken a language, but was warned at the time that language classes in college were much more difficult than the high school level (and I needed my study time to focus on classes in my major).
