"Uppity" is only one of the words "Lame"baugh uses to describe our beautiful First Lady. First Lady Michelle Obama is gracious, honest, compassionate, loving and dedicated to her life as the First Lady, Wife and Mother; not to mention devoted daughter.
This is an unfortunate incident and completely unfair, but, it does prove where the audience to this extremist invest their time. I don't believe NASCAR ever intended Mrs. Obama, Mrs. Biden and children they escorted to be exposed to such rude and drunken behavior. But, now that it occurred it could be a opportunity for Rush and his audience to apologize to the ladies and the children. I don't believe the ladies should be unescorted either, their spouses could be present so there can't be any more insults or bigotry leveled at the ladies expense.
Rush calls the First Lady names on a very regular basis. He has a verbal caricature of First Lady Michelle Obama that he spews nearly daily, or at least everytime she steps on a plane.
Yep.
This is NOT the first time he has maligned her. To my best recollection the children have never been involved. No, that isn't true. There is at least one time the children were talked about as employees of the President in order to have their 'fare' paid on a vacation.
Yep.
Rush's 'pet name' for our wonderful First Lady is "Mooch"elle. MOOCHER. The caricature is of a woman indulged in luxury at the cost of the taxpayer. No cost is too much, no comfort questioned. I believe it is retaliation for the media talking about Sarah Palin's 'comfort list' when she speaks, including bendable straws. Rush has been doing this for some time now. It doesn't matter the excuse, there should not be caricatures of any of the First or Second Families, they are wonderful people with admirable character. Joe Biden alone has more years in service to the USA than Rush could ever hope to have a radio program.
Sad, but, true.
Look, these extremists don't forgive anyone or 'get over' any of their hatred. Palin's 'star quality needs list' has been off the gossip columns for a long time and probably won't return, but, that doesn't mean there aren't pay backs.
I recently saw a list of the people Republicans hate the most and first place belonged to Jane Fonda. There are people in this country that would ask the question "Jane, who?" They hate and they hate intensely and they like verbalizing their hatred. I am sure Rush hopes his maligning of the First Family helps defeat a second term and probably brings in a lot of listeners. Obviously, there was enough at a NASCAR race to make a significant noise.
