What kind of people boo the First Lady? Especially a First Lady who has remained out of politics and done her best not to make waves? DO you think people like Rush who exist to dehumanize people like Michelle Obama to the drooling evolutionary dead ends that comprise the NASCAR audience?
Hey, I'm sure there's some decent human beings who go to NASCAR events, but they get drowned out by the hordes of hateful idiots who would boo a lovely and gracious mother of two, like our First Lady.
It's not because she was "uppity"... it's because they are low-brow hillbilly scum.
Please, show me where she said that your parenting sucks.
Don't get mad at her because she wants to start an initiative to get your kids off of potato chips and twinkies for breakfast. Don't get mad at her because her parenting makes you look like the Manson family.
Get mad at yourself.
The funny part of this is that it's mentioned often that similar words are code for "uppity", and the wingnuts respond with their usual" That's crazy/race card/ prove it!" BS.
I wonder if any of them will go the "media tweak" route with this one.
Sitting on his corporate perch, the ignorant minions at his feet...
Another episode of el Fathead.
Let's be honest... NASCAR is mostly a White Southern Male phenomenon.
"How'd Jimmy crash?"
"He wuz goin' too fast ta turn left!"
"How'd Jeff crash?"
"He got a flat, and couldn't turn left!"
"How'd Kyle crash?"
"He wuz tryin' ta turn left, an' Dale Jr. bumped him an' he didn't turn left!"
Yeah, NASCAR: High drama in motorsports...
He really is blessed with the stupidest audience in the world.
You are a LIAR. The Dixiecrats no longer exist and they mostly became republicans. You are a punk still clinging onto a stupid talking point. One destroyed when you look at the breakdown by region of the votes for the Civil Rights Act
The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7%–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0%–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%–15%)
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5%–95%)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0%–100%)
Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%–2%)
Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%–16%)
Note that in EVERY REGION a higher percentage of Dems than Republicans voted FOR the Civil rights act of 1964
My GOD but you are stupid and brainwashed
-Cleveland Brown
And there is something depraved and disgusting about being a pathetic, brainwashed MORON like you. Tell the truth. You are so stupid you even disgust yourself dont you?
Which Blimpy Apology Troll will draw the short straw and come on here to tell us why this isn't racist?
This will probably get nothing more than a few more Zippy the Pinhead-style boxtop non-sequiturs, and some anonymous thumbs down for anybody who's mean to Lispy.
I wouldn't be surprised if half the NASCAR audience still think he's a Kenyan National with a fake American birth certificate, and a secret Muslim agent ready to lock up normal Americans in FEMA work camps so he can institute "Sharia Law".
It is more likely that you are a LIAR and a brainwashed moron
Stupidass.
This kind of "proud redneck" behavior is a recently returned phenomenon that started in the 90s with the proliferation of hate radio, the rise of the religious right, and the consolidation of corporate media.
Back in the pre-civil rights era, lack of education and the isolation of rural life might have provided something of an excuse, but nowadays these "proud southern men" have I-phones, satellite television, and exposure to other people and other cultures. This is a regression.
I don't think any liberal group would "boo" Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan. Conservatives back in the day wouldn't have boo'd Rosaline Carter.
This isn't just about hateful NASCAR fans and Michelle Obama, this is about the tone of irrational hate and constant dehumanization of anyone "other" that runs rampant in the south.
Did boxtop bring up Nixon in order to highlight his southern strategy?
A while back I read a biography about Pat Nixon, it was written by her daughter, Julie Nixon Eisenhower. To be honest, personally and politically; I detested Richard Nixon.
But, I loved reading her daughter's biography of her mother. "Plastic Pat" was a human being, and a wonderful one at that. I was happy to read her daughter's biography.
I was very glad that I read this biography. Pat Nixon was a good solid woman, who raised two lovely daughters.
She worked hard her whole life under difficult circumstances.
Although, I am still ashamed of the Nixon Administration, I will never be ashamed of the way the Nixon family handled it.
Mrs. G.W. Bush routinely leave Washington before her husband to go to Crawford. I doubt she flew commercial.
"...routinely left Washington..."
Mrs. Nixon may have worn a cloth coat, but not aware that it was a "republican" coat. It was a fashionable coat for the time period in which it was worn. As for the dog, the dog was a registered Cocker Spaniel, a popular dog during that time period. Not sure what that has to do with anything, though. Most of Mrs. Obama's casual clothing is from JH Collectibles, a moderate priced line of clothing.
Cindy McCain's outfit, including jewelry, for the 2008 Republican National Convention, was over $300,000. Just a nice respectable republican outfit, huh?
I'm pretty sure Laura Bush wore some fancy threads as well. Not that it matters to me what any First Lady wears, but apparently the republican media zombies are keeping score, and as expected, they aren't keeping score with any consistency.
Geez, get a grip, people.

Gosh, Boxy is SOOO brilliant. NOT AN IDIOT AT ALL!
Coming soon: " Duhhhhhh... shoe me exsaktley wear Rush used teh werd uppity???!! anohter liberul lye!!"
Imagine the pride that boxy feels every time he gets to go to McDonalds, and as he sits and opens the box and takes the first bite of that double quarter pounder, his eyes narrow, his lip twitches, and he says, "Heyyyy...wait a minute. We're at McDonalds!"
I used the term "cartoonish", and it reminded me of something I used to get a laugh out of as a kid. Do you remember how the Flintstones would be going to Jellystone Park, and they'd pull up to the huge monument sign that said "Jellystone Park", pull the car right up to it at a complete stop, and Fred would say " Jellystone Park. This must be the place!". This is what right wingers need.
I also remember a commercial or movie once that had a family on a road trip. There was a long shot of their car crossing the Golden gate Bridge, and dad's voice-over saying " Here we are ! California!"
Now, they would have been in California for hundreds of miles whether they were coming from Nevada or Oregon, but the image was designed so even box could get it.
He referred to one of the items here as a "non-issue" that, according to his tastes, should not have been featured at this site. I referred to this comment in another post, re-phrasing it as donut suggesting we should be ignoring the issue.
He had me nailed. He never used the word "ignore", I lied.
And that cover was as much for me as anybody. I'm occasionally known to mix up Baba Louie and Boo Boo...
Awwwwwwwww.
And those Clackers took down some of the best of our generation.
It's not a very effective way to argue, and it just looks like more right wing victim mentality blubbering.
Second, please don't question my facts on important historical events.
Don't be a whiny fool.
We would have probably busted your chops a little in good humor for getting a location from a classic cartoon show wrong, all in good fun.
We do the same toward each other, whether you realize it or not (you'd know if you read the whole comment thread).
But mainly we pounce all over right wingers who repeat debunked talking points, made up statistics, easily proven lies, or have basic facts about their premise factually wrong. There is a decidedly different tone for those kinds of inaccuracies.
If you can't see the difference, then you're just playing the victim card like so many of the contemporary republican pundits and corporate sponsored politicians.
Do "NASCAR people" mind that Rush Limbaugh just conflated them with communities that haven't seen jobs in 25 years? Is that what defines a "NASCAR person"?
http://www.talkers.com/
This from the guy who brags about his fleet of $500,000 automobiles, brags about the multimillion-dollar compound in Florida he owns, plays probably around $100,000-200,000 worth of golf each year, and encourages people to consume as many resources as possible just to stick it to the "libs."
Who the f-ck is going to buy this BS?
Oh yeah. Republicans and racists...
"This a guy who brags about his fleet of $500,000 automobiles, brags about the multimillion-dollar compound he owns..."
He would probably brag about his over the top consumerism employs so many people. He is supporting the lower class who would not have jobs without it.
However, what he won't talk about; is putting several hundred people out of work because of his over the top contract. Limbaugh is not worth his salary, and unless you have discovered the cure for cancer, nobody is.
The truly secure in their success and wealth don't feel the need to advertise their success,or wealth. They are the first ones up to help talented, intelligent people develop and support them in that endeavor. They develop leaders; Limbaugh develops spawn
Limbaugh is a small,insecure man who grasps at the props .(large expensive homes,expensive automobiles, a personal jet) to prove his own need for self-importance.
As my son would say "He is a poser, not a chief."
In an unrelated story, Rush and Fox News pundits have called Michelle Obama "uppity" since Obama threw his hat in the presidential race.
Cool - I thought that what the fans did was pretty classless (honestly, I think no matter how bad a president is - see Dubya - they are entitled to some basic respect for the office from the general public. You don't have to love the person, but a respectful applause isn't much to ask for if a president appears at a major sporting event).
But now that you've supplied the reason why they did that, I guess that makes what they did OK?
More importantly, if the shoe fits...
Either way, it's how Mrs. Limbaugh V.4's spouse brings in the big bucks.
And "NASCAR people understand"? NASCAR people waste thousands of gallons of gas driving around in a circle
And the Repubs think the Redstate BillyBobs are going to vote for Cain....The Democratics will win based on the sheer stupidy of the Right.
It is Rule #1. A simple fact. Fans love to boo and it's a free shot.
So go for it.
It is absolutely laughable that Rush Limbaugh thinks that he is qualified to roll his rich fat a$$ up to the desk with the mic on it and proceed to talk this sh!t as if he is the example of the average American and can speak for them with his "We's".
The truth of the matter is that whenever Rush detects anger or disapproval from the American people towards a person or subject, he latches onto it vise-like with both lips and sucks it out for all it is worth, engendering as much additional anger and hatred as he possibly can.
Because THAT is truly what Rush Limbaugh is all about. It is what he does and it is how he makes his living.
Without his unique personal talent of that vise-like lip lock, for sucking it out for all it's worth, for engendering serious anger and hatred in his listeners, he would be just another lunchtime drive shock jock with a mediocre shtick.
Like all self inflated shock jocks without filters, Rush will be the demise of himself.
The sooner the better for America.
There was a Time in my life where I would have gutted a scum like you.. You're a lucky man.
It is detrimental to the psychological well being of any and all who dare to venture therein.
It is shocking, isn't it when you realize what your exposure to all that darkness has/is doing to you inside?
This is exactly why I listened to Rush once 25+ years ago and never listened to him again until I listened to one of the clips of his show here on MMFA a few months ago.
After listening to about 10 or 11 clips, I found myself being systematically infused with that same dark anger and ugly vitriol Rush is so copiously cursed with.
Same thing happens from exposure to Glennis The Menace.
And The Blaze.
And Fox Nation.
I believe teh stoopid lib referred to those as
"dark places, full of mean spiritedness, racism and hatred" (from my memory, not verbatim)

David Frum: Fox News Blacklisted Me Following Rush Limbaugh Criticisms
Conservative pundit David Frum contends that he was blacklisted from Fox News after criticizing Rush Limbaugh in 2009. (h/t Inside Cable News)
Frum made the charge in a piece for New York magazine. Back in 2009, he authored an article for Newsweek "arguing that Republicans would regret conceding so much power to Rush Limbaugh." According to Frum, he had been a frequent contributor on Fox News but "some kind of fatwa was laid down" on him following his Newsweek article.
4 Page Article: (Why Rush is Wrong Mar 6, 2009 7:00 PM EST
The party of Buckley and Reagan is now bereft and dominated by the politics of Limbaugh. A conservative's lament.)
Frum wrote that producers would call to book him on a segment. He then described the "embarrassed second call" he would receive, in which those same producers would call him back to say they had decided to go "'in a different direction.'"
Frum has since become a fierce critic of Fox News. Most famously, he said in 2010 that "Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox."
Frum's wife, Danielle Crittenden is currently a managing editor with HuffPost Canada.
"for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country."
Are you still on this idiocy punk? You are disgustingly stupid. I would guess the reason they booed is they are just as stupid, just as brainwashed and just as mindless as you are.
I could explain the context of a remark like that from a black woman growing up on the sixties and seventies but really what would be the point? You are stupid and you only think what you are told to think so why waste my time?
Unlike you and your ilk, who walk around with undeserved bluster and swagger, Michelle Obama has a reason to be ashamed of her country.
Being ashamed of something doesn't mean that you don't love it. It means that you love it enough to be dissapointed when it fails to live up to your expectations. Michelle Obama and her husband are patriots in the true sense of the term - they dont walk around saying "America, right or wrong!" They say (in the spirit of Carl Schurz) "America, when right to be kept right, and when wrong, to be set right."
They believe in an EARNED exceptionalism, one that is derived from proving that we deserve to be called the leaders of the free world. It is not an exceptionalism that is based on some undeserved idea of superiority.
But you wouldnt understand that because you're a jingo.
For every reason that you listed, there are plenty more reasons that we should be ashamed to call ourselves "the land of the free"
But thats fine, you keep your blinders on jingo.
You are still a liar and a punk. Nuance is just too complex for you simple minded imbecility. I wont waste time trying to explain subtelty to a moron like you. You disgust me. You have no capacity for thought whatsoever. You just spew talking points. You are a child and a particularly stupid child at that. Being so mentally defective that you can only think in absolutes all in or all out is what makes you such a pathetic easily brainwashed piece of garbage. It is a shame that incredibly stupid people like you are ruining our country you un-American traitorous punk
Can I assume your refusal to answer my question is an admission that you are not proud of the US?
Noting that she never said she was never proud of her country what has she done that has not confirmed her patriotism? What else do you have other than an out of context quote taken at least 3 yrs. ago that proves that Mrs. Obama is not proud of her country? Tell me were you proud when Republican members of congress held hostage payments and treatments to those 9/11 responders. Where you proud when our government lied to those 9/11 responders about the safety of the air and conditions at 9/11?
"...The same miscreants then blocked legislation to provide financial compensation for the nation’s first responders who were exposed to toxic ash at the 9/11 attacks and had to seek medical treatment. The Senate voted 57–42 to provide health care. But the No Compassion Party, which had already spewed millions of words about how they are more patriotic than anyone else, won by threatening a filibuster that ended any help to firefighters, police officers, and the thousands of volunteers who risked their lives to save others..."

I ashamed that our country can produce closed minded bigots like you panzer that pretend that patriotism means "America love it or leave it."
Then I am sure those same grwat patriots who booed our first lady like you were4 equally upset about belonging to a party that wants to sucede from the union and whose founder said:
“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.” — Joe Vogler
“And Alaska is not the only place that’s about separation. There’s at least 30 different states that are talking about some type of separation from the United States.”
"...This has meant rubbing shoulders and forging alliances with outright white supremacists and far-right theocrats, particularly those who dominate the proceedings at such gatherings as the North American Secessionist conventions, which AIP delegates have attended in recent years. The AIP’s affiliation with neo-Confederate organizations is motivated as much by ideological affinity as by organizational convenience. Indeed, Chryson makes no secret of his sympathy for the Lost Cause. “Should the Confederate states have been allowed to separate and go their peaceful ways?” Chryson asked rhetorically. “Yes. The War of Northern Aggression, or the Civil War, or the War Between the States however you want to refer to it.."
