Michelle Obama taped an upcoming episode of the Nickelodeon show iCarly. (For the record, this is one of the 7-Year-Old's favorite shows, and the kid will shred you for dissing it. So step off.)
And so....?
The wingnut screeching about this is a sight to behold. (Don't miss the comments!)
Right.
That sort of shit is awful. (Quote: "when you make comments about her large fat ass the Liberal and Leftists want to call you a racist…why…because it is the only thing they have left….")
But as bad as it is, the wingnut hate-wave against Michelle Obama is not quite the sustained crazy hate-bazooka that was back in the day aimed at Hillary Clinton. Or so it seems to me, anyhow.
I mean, don't get me wrong -- Michelle Obama is getting a lot of shit, and some of it is racist in a way HRC never got. (The comments about her "ass" above are racist AND sexist. Michelle Obama is clearly fit, by sane as opposed to bigoted norms.)
But MO, for all the flak she gets, just is not the monster that the GOP made of Hillary (always only the first name) in the 90s.
As I recall, the level of absolute nasty hate directed towards Hillary in the 90s was incandescent-nova intense. As for MO, they just seem to be behaving like the predictable shits they are.
I actually don't have a thesis here, though I have suspicions. What do you think?
