    WTF are you talking about? The right said the most digusting, racist, sexist things about Mrs. Obama (and are still doing it), yet they think this pretty mild attack is horrendous. What utter hypocrisy. Just unbelievable.

    Maybe you should point these people out so others can condemn them for their ignorance.

    No it isn't. Its the law and kids were taken from their parents under Obama as well. People like you just chose to ignore it because a Democrat was in charge back then. The only thing Trump is doing is stopping the stupid "catch and release" stuff that has been going on. If you want to come in then come in legally through the front door so a background check can be run on you and you can be identified. If you sneak into the country you have absolutely no right to complain if you are caught and kicked out. Mexico and Canada either kick out illegals they catch or they imprison them (or if your Mexico just shuffle them north). Why are we obligated to be any different than them?

    The ONLY reason you are spouting about it now is because of Trump. Where the **** were you people back in 2012 if you were so concerned?

    The definition of "DoubleThink" is "the acceptance of or mental capacity to accept contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time, especially as a result of political indoctrination." Case in point:

    These posts were made about an hour apart. In one, deflecting to an Obama is okay, and in the other, deflecting to an Obama isn't.

    What a difference an hour makes, eh?

    Quite the opposite. I asked you to point these people out so we can condemn them. <Mod Edit>

    It's allegedly because you've not pointed to anyone. As soon as you do we can remove the 'allegedly'.

    Maybe she's not quite sure what 'hypocrisy' means.

    I didn't say it was a good reason for her to do it. What I said is the outrage the Right is displaying over what she said is completely hypocritical considering the horrific things they said about Mrs. Obama. There isn't even any comparison. This is rude, but it is not an attack on her gender, her looks, her race or ethnicity. It is not ugly posters of her as a monkey or a transgender. It's not saying that her children are not her own children. Even considering the blind hypocrisy of Mellie having a campaign about bullying, the Left has not vilified her for it on a continuous and unrelenting basis.

    This attack is absolutely nothing in comparison to the horrific things the Right said about, and applauded, about Mrs.Obama. The Right is being incredibly hypocritical.That's what I'm saying. Not saying what Griffith said is nice.

    It wasn't 'some ignorant person allegedly' saying something. It was a 8 year long continuous bombardment. Just go back and read over posts on this board. I actually don't believe you don't know what I'm talking about. The Right knows damn well how they treated Mrs. Obama, with the most disgusting allegations. Just disgusting.

    Again, post these examples please from a public figure, and yes, comedians are public figures.

    Or else this will be your third strike, too bad the truth about you cannot be told without breaking the rules. I just prefer honest people is all

    She is out of line.
    Melania has actually spoken out against her husband's policy of separating children from their parents. She hasn't done it very strongly, but it is rare (unheard of?) for her to speak out on a real political issue, and in this case she has offered the president a mild rebuke.

    I'm sure Griffin would like Melania to speak out in stronger terms, but there is no doubt - Melania has spoke out against Trump's policy.

    I can't say I've really had a thought about Melania but I suppose I'd be a tad suspicious on account of who she's married to.

    Same goes for Kathy Whassername, never heard of her until her rubber head showed up. She's just just background noise for me.

    So you are ok with attacking Melania because you dont like Trump's ideals?

    I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree on your political tactics

    I haven't attacked her. I think I once called her Malignia but that's because I like playing with words.

    Like calling Mafia Don Child Stealer Don this week. Or maybe Dem Blamer Don The Piss Weak Turdbucket but that's a little too wordy.

    B.S. There is no law forcing us to charge asylum seekers and separate them from their kids.

    Oh really? Does she grab men's genitals without their consent? Does she walk in on their locker rooms without warning so she can have a look at them nude or half dressed? Does she have sex with porn stars? Does she cheat on her partners? Does she pay hush money to whores she has slept with? He is the ultimate crude disgusting pig.

    An 8 year bombardment of malicious, racist, sexist, disgusting attacks on Mrs. Obama and you pretend they don't exist. You are pretending it didn't exist. How seriously flawed.
    These are just a very few of the attacks on her. It was also suggested she was transgender and that the kids were not her's biologically because she was a man.

    Cathy Griffith is not a public figure. She is a private citizen just like you. She does not represent anyone but herself, and she doesn't work for any employer. She has an agent who can choose not represent her; clubs can choose not to book her. She has as much right to total free speech as you do. She can say any damn thing she wants. The attacks on Mrs. Obama were from all kinds of people, people like Griffith who had an audience, a RW audience which glorified in those attacks instead of saying they were wrong and out of line like they are doing regarding Ms. Griffiths comments, which are not anywhere near as vulgar and horrific as the comments leveled at Mrs. Obama.

    She's a sad pathetic individual who makes her living off of being crass.
