        Oh, that was so last month! Get with the program, sir!

        Tomorrow Beck will be back to attacking the Obama kids, and asking if they have a cotton and sweet potato patch in the White House garden.

      Its not a dress Jacka$$, its a t-shirt and white pants. There are two other ladies right next to her that are also wearing light colored shirts and white pants.

      The majority of Michelle Obama's clothes come from J.Crew. Hardly "designer" clothes.

        I just looked . . . she didn't have on a dress, she had on a black and white tank by Thakoon . . . not overly expensive for a First Lady . . . and white pants. It wasn't "black splotches," it was an abstract black floral design.

        This is just STUPID.

          Of course Beck listeners don't do their own research so Beck's version is the only "truth" they will know. Michelle better start wearing J.C. Penney pantsuits like Hilary.

          Maybe the 'issue'...as petty as it is...is that the front of the shirt, or whatever it is, looks like it smeared with oil.

        Why is it even an issue anyhow? Did this nutcase concern himself with Laura Bush's wardrobe? One would think if the costs of clothing were really an issue, he might have been more concerned about how much the RNC was paying for Simple Sarah's clothing during the campaign.

        Personally, I think Michelle Obama is a fantastic lady. I am certain that if she could, she would love to give these wingnuts a serious lecture on manners and ethics. Heaven knows, they could use it.

            What they are trying to do is portray President Obama as a "street thug," Michelle as a "hoochie mama," and both as being far different than the average American, which they aren't. Many African Americans' parents place emphasis on knowing how to conduct one's self in social settings. I remember my mom and dad making us learn how to do proper place settings, how to dress appropriately for different situations ( I still remember going to my first Cotillion with my first boyfriend!,) insisting we use Standard English, teaching us etiquette and about having manners, and all of this happened back in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Oops! Beck is showing that he doesn't know what he's talking about again. He's also showing that he has little/no contact with those unlike himself. If he had, he'd realize that what he has been told about how a certain group lives does not apply to all members of the group.

        "The majority of Michelle Obama's clothes come from J.Crew. Hardly "designer" clothes."


        I once read somewhere that she likes to shop at White House | Black Market -- which can be found at nearly any shopping mall in the country . . .

        {Hm, maybe it's that name, "Black Market", that's got Glenda so upset}

      Riddle me this. What has many fingers justifiably pointed at him for once having said that the family members of politicians should not be attacked, but who seems to have some uncontrollable urge to attacked the family members of politicians anyway due to a lack of character and a surplus of shameless hypocrisy?

        You must have misconstrued what Mr. Beck implied.

        The implication was that the the family members of WHITE politicians should not be attacked.

          Pretty much.

          It's not as if the country isn't facing serious issues right now across the board. Yet to Fox's newswriters, Obama wearing khakis to the Gulf (never mind that they would have also knocked him for being "unpresidential" had he worn jeans) is apparently an earth-shaking crisis.

      You greased pig, lying sack of dog mess! First off, stupid, it isn't a dress at all, it was a sleeveless top over white pants, where she stood on the beach without shoes. Hey, she also ate ice cream! Are you going to smack her around for that, too. You went to the Time magazine thing with some trashy, gaudy, blingy belt with a skull on it, and a maure eating smirk to go with it, and you have the audacity to criticize the First Lady!

You can't attack Michelle Obama earlier this year for wanting to end childhood obesity and hunger (http://trueslant.com/allisonkilkenny/2010/02/13/glenn-beck-targets-americas-real-enemy-michelle-obama/) and now attack her as a monarch that dismisses the masses with "let them eat cake."

      I remember when Beck was complaining because we were supposedly moving towards the french revolution and we were being told to hate the rich and that was bad (which to be fair there was anti-rich sentiment but there was no where near the main focus of what was being said). With this and his Greenwich Taj Mahal schools segment it sure is starting to sound like we should hate those rich fat cats who are so out of touch they're like the people in the French Revolution.

      It's like a Mobius strip, make a closed loop and you've flipped your orientation. (Appologies for the math reference, but it just fit nicely)
