Michelle Obama called 'Ape in heels,' hell breaks loose

[RoosGirl]

I'm going to assume the comment was not intended as a racial slur.  I have no reason to believe it is as I have seen white men behave in such a way that made one of the first words I thought of to describe them be 'ape' or 'babboon'  or some such.  Plus, I know nothing about either of these women so I am not quick to assign the 'racist' label based on one comment and one 'like'.  So, based on that I see this as no different than any of us calling someone an ass, which I see often, or a jerk or any such similar word.

No it isn't.... :nometalk:

@mystery-ak

Then again,it's not nice to tell someone child is ugly either,but that doesn't mean the child isn't ugly.

Actually Moosesheel looks more like a  running back or a wide receiver without the cleats,but I bet the Dims would be steamed if you said that too,despite almost all the running backs and wide receivers are Dim voters.

You just can't please some people.

This is what happens when a society collapses.

And make no mistake - we are in the early stages of that collapse.

@INVAR

I think so,too. Not so sure about the "early",though. IMHO,"early" was in the 1960's. We are so far past that level it can't even be seen from here.

You're ugly.  Well, I haven't met you, but if you're one half as ugly as I am, you have an ugly problem.

Just a guess.

I will have you know I have had literally hundreds of drunken women tell me I am very handsome.

They have lady versions of beer goggles?  Who knew?  Crap!  Years of college, wasted!

American politicians are getting dumber and cruder by the second.

Don't think so.   And stupid, impulsive people have been around since Adam.

It's a matter of the 24 hour news cycle and social media....where everybody is a 'watcher', looking to be offended, or is looking for their 15 minutes.

People need to learn you don't have to verbalize every thought you have....they need to edit themselves.

The tub - o-lard who made the ape comment..she has room to talk.

That's a "she"?  Are you sure?  Do you have a DNA test or something?

Never underestimate the value of an unspoken thought.  @mystery-ak cuts quickly, but she cuts deep.

My mom had a little sign in her kitchen that said "Tact:  The ability to tell a man to go to hell and make him feel happy to be on his way."

Tact is my middle name.

A friend of mine looked into it, and both women are registered Dems, FWIW. Of course, in WV, political party affiliation doesn't mean much any more.

Unless things have changed drastically in the last several years,you can't get elected as the town drunk unless you are a registered Dim. Being a union member is worth bonus points.

[Jazzhead]

My primary problem with GOP politics these days is the attitude that the liberals say and do these things so we can too.

The statement "If you can't beat them, join them", is not an affirmation of a win.

My feelings exactly.  I thought we were supposed to be better than them.   But that's a quaint notion nowadays.   

[RoosGirl]

I don't see anyone stepping up and condemning the names that the offending woman is being called here.  Y'all are confusing.

Let me put it this way, Michelle Obama has become more feminine in her demeanor and appearance during her tenure as first lady.
Her posture has improved, she dresses better, her mien seems less aggressive.

It will just continue to accelerate until the whole thing reaches maximum velocity before hitting the earth and we are nothing but a footnote in the history of failed nations.

Terrible thing to say, but funny how "all hell" didn't break loose when even worse things were said and threatened with W.

The left double standard again and again and again.

Things really have changed. The Republicans have controlled the W.Va. house and the senate since 2014 and even picked up a couple of senate seats last week. Finally, the Legislature is not controlled by big labor and personal injury lawyers!  A lot - not all, unfortuntely - of union guys in the state finally figured out the Dems have done nothing for them but destroy their livelihoods. Obama's and Hillary's war on coal is just part of it.

Edit to add a comment from a friend of mine who is active in W.Va. Republican politics:  Just a couple of years ago West Virginia was a deep blue state, according to the state party EVERY County in the state except for Braxton will be either partially or fully represented by a Republican in Charleston, that is absolutely astounding!... We came within 200 votes out of 41,000 of defeating millionaire liberal State Senator Doug Facemire (D-Braxton). The GOP now has a 22R-12D majority in the State Senate, in 1990 it was 33D-1R, no I'm not kidding.

It's hard to envision a West Virginia not dominated by the coal industry and the UMW. The northeastern and west coast elite Dims have really shot themselves in the foot with their Enviro-Nazi act. Not that they care. They picked up enough support from the delicate tulips on the western coast cities and the northeast to make up for losing WVA.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn the ones in the northeast are planning on getting the feral government to pay for cleaning up the mining damage,and then buying up the land and building vacation mansions on mountain tops because "there will be plenty of local yokels with no jobs and willing to work cheap."
