This stuff makes me sick. Supposedly this is a moderated site, so these posts are all filtered through the FoxNation mods. [Video: First Lady Makes Personal Appeal for Obamacare](http://www.thefoxnation.com/michelle-obama/2009/10/26/video-first-lady-makes-personal-appeal-obamacare) Just a few of the 400+ comments the mods allowed: > [@](#): > > Her face is becoming almost as repulsive has her wife, Obama’s. > [@](#): > > Can’t stand her. She is so repulsive. If I had to wake up next to her every morning, I would quit The Presidency just to move out of The White House.

Fear not. I’m sure Starving Artist and the rest of the right-tards who have made a career out of hysterically swooning at the lack of manners of liberals and the disrespecting of Bush will be along to go apoplectic any moment now. Or to do some vigorous hand-waving. One of the two. And then Shodan will come along and pretend that a drama that had as a premise the assassination of Bush is the same thing as gleefully inciting it and so cancels out all right-tard sins EVAR. ---

That’s so strange, to me. Michelle Obama is, I think, one of the prettiest First Ladies we’ve ever had. I mean, I know that they’re saying it because they’re suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome, but still… ---

They’re really really REALLY REALLY monumentally stupid. So are the comments from IMDB threads, YouTube videos, and your local newspaper’s online comments section. Though, come to think of it, the link you’ve provided is somewhat a combination of the last two on my list, which makes it stupidity squared. Welcome to the internet. I’d start you with a course on Geocities to get acquainted but that’s closed down now. ---

> [@Equipoise](#): > > They vote Republican, you silly.

As the OP points out, this would be in poor taste. ---

> [@leander](#): > > This is some sick shit. And Fox wants to be taken seriously? See, I don’t think they do. Rather, they want to be as profitable a business as they can, and they’ve hit on a very successful formula that in large part includes pandering to right-wing nutjobs. They’re not being taken seriously all the way to the bank. ---

I’ve seen worse on the Dem side. Though not on CNN or MSNBC sites. Worse than these asinine coments on the Fox News site was [this photo put up on the GOP’s new website.](http://rawstory.com/2009/10/gops-facebook-photos/) Granted, it was put up by an anonymous Facebooker but it stayed up on the GOP site for 5 days. Do you know what this means? It means FOX and the GOP are all for free speech! ---

But where’s the outrage and condemnation from the right? I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - the GOP has elevated hyprocrisy to previously unimagined heights. These assclowns would take a dump on the American flag while fellating Osama Bin Laden if they thought it would make a point about how evil Obama is. ---

Michelle Obama is easily the hottest first lady since Jackie Kennedy, but is it really the worstest evil evar that a bunch of losers said she’s ugly, and moderators allowed it? ---

Not the worstest evil evah, no. (Though the losers are clearly spewing racist nonsense, not just calling her ugly.) But I think the OP’s point is more about the fact that an ostensibly reputable news organization is appearing to endorse and even encourage such comments. My take on it is that nothing they do surprises me as long as the cash keeps rolling in. ---

Somehow the first time I didn’t notice the word ‘evolution,’ which is clearly a code word. The other stuff? I’m not seeing racism. I have an equally visceral reaction to Anne Coulter, who, if I didn’t have all those negative associations, would probably strike me as pretty. ---

It means FOX and the GOP are all for free speech! Seriously, go check that out, and then remember how, when a MoveOn member put up a video comparing Bush to Hitler (a video that was removed in less than an hour, I believe), the right wailed and screamed about the awfulness of the left. It’s still brought up to this day! ---

> [@bup](#): > > Somehow the first time I didn’t notice the word ‘evolution,’ which is clearly a code word. The other stuff? I’m not seeing racism. The implication pretty clearly is that black folk are lower on the evolutionary scale than white folk. But, of course, the reality is pretty upsetting to these racists: people with brown skins, living in the White House, and running the country. ---
