    How old was the Future First Lady of the US back then??

    Still she is FLOTUS now so in the role of FLOTUS she deserves her role to be respected.

    At this point, I think she is suffering from "Guilt by Association".

    She probably is a really nice lady.

    I just feel sorry for her. :salute:

    She used whatever means she had to crack that glass ceiling. That is the bare naked truth.

    I have every right to impose requirements upon those who are in any position if they want my respect. Now who I I think deserves my respect, and what I do around people who have not acquired my respect are very different questions. But they will look pretty similar when I am around them.

    However those who have earned my contempt, loathing, distain, or animus are in a whole different category. What I do around them may well not look anything like those above.

    I think this entertains an interesting discussion about whether decency in the broader context here, is really inconsistent with nudity in public or nudity with a profit motive. [no I am not talking about the 'Are you decent or indecent?' unclothed slang context providing a pun here] Does this photo shoot preclude one from seeing her as a 'decent' or good person?

    I don't think it does preclude it. My son can marry a stripper for all I care. I ought not make any assumptions about her basic character, other than she is not bashful.

    No, of course not.

    She WAS a Beautiful Girl.

    She is probably a really nice person, with horrible judgement in men.

    Thus, she was booed. :salute:

    I'm sure she is doing well without your pity, BTW did you ever find that proof she was a call girl?

    I have said this before and I will say it again that booing anyone no matter who they are (and especially just by association) is a very low class act and bad form. It says more about the booers and those who cheer it on than it ever will about the target.

    But to go that extra step and call her a 'hooker' is reaching even lower imo.

    Especially in light of the fact she won a libel suit against a major paper for the same smear. Just dont ask him for proof of his claim, you'd have better luck finding hen's teeth.

    Booing is just the opposite of applauding and cheering. Both expressions of public interest should be treated roughly the same. if you are going to be in the public eye, and you intend to gratefully accept their applause, you have to steel yourself for the opposite. I don't have any problem with booers of someone has done something to be booed. This woman really has not, and she certainly has not when she comes to a forum on opiate abuse.

    The opposite of applauding someone is not to applaud them. That's fine and silent and expresses your feelings adequately and sure, when you are in the public eye you have to put up with any number of non self disciplined and noisy whack jobs but I just think it shows a weak character to attend an event purely to try to boo someone down that you don't like. If it were me I just wouldn't attend.

    I should add that say booing a ref's bad call in a game is reasonable but not booing the opposing team, just because, and certainly not booing someone just because they are married to someone they don't like.

    Yep. Wrong to attack the First Lady just because she is the president’s wife.

    She is fortunate, however, that she has not had to endure the quantity or vitriol of the attacks that Michelle Obama suffered - and continues to suffer.

    Was Michelle ever attacked over her Christmas decorations, choices? Or accused of being a call girl or a lesbian porn star?

    She was (and continues to be) attacked over all kinds of things - some of which are quite racist. The attacks against her have been (and are) disgusting. Melania is getting off easy in comparison.

    That doesn't justify any attacks against Melania. Will you say the same about attacks against Michelle Obama?

    Sure, but you cant deny, the media cooed over Michelle's every move, they criticize Melania over the smallest things. No one can deny this, in good faith.

    Applauding is an expression of support, or adulation. Silence is an expression of indifference. Booing is an expression of disapproval or disdain. Booing is the opposite of applauding because it suggests animus not a cavalier disregard. Booing to silence someone's expression or disrupt communication is decidedly different than to boo to express active displeasure or dislike because its purpose is served with a short duration. I would never support 'booing someone down' because it victimizes those who came to hear, as much or more than those who came to speak/sing perform etc. The audience deserves to hear who they came to hear regardless of someone else's desire that certain views not be heard.
