Right-Wing Viciously Attacks FLOTUS for Shopping at 'Target'

By John Amato

The amount of vitriol being spewed at Michelle Obama from the right-wing paparazzi is really getting gross now. The beltway media remains mum about these vicious smears by the wingnutopia and its appalling. Evey step she makes there's always a John Birch conspiracy theory attached to it by these jackasses. TMZ better move over because did you know the First Lady is really Lady Gaga?

Right-wing media have attacked Michelle Obama for going shopping at Target, claiming she went " 'incognito,' Lady Gaga-style" and asking, "Who does she think she's fooling?" Right-wing media have previously attacked the first lady for everything from promoting health initiatives to wearing a red dress at a state dinner.

It's just getting creepier as the election approaches.

Limbaugh: "It Has Gotten So Bad, They Had To Send Moochelle Out There In A Lady Gaga-Type Getup. She Went Shopping At Target." During the September 30 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh said: "It has gotten so bad, they had to send Moochelle out there in a Lady Gaga-type getup. She went shopping at Target." [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 9/30/11, via Media Matters]
Malkin: Obama Went To Target "About As 'Incognito' As Lady Gaga." In a September 29 blog post, Michelle Malkin attacked Obama for shopping at Target, writing that Obama was "about as 'incognito' as Lady Gaga's outfit at her younger sister's graduation." Malkin went on to call the first lady "the glamour queen" and further stated that Obama's Target visit was "[t]o counter the negative diva buzz" and that it "[l]ooks like she left the bling at home." [MichelleMalkin.com, 9/29/11, via Media Matters]
The Blaze: "What Luck!" Obama "Wasn't Snapped Without Make-Up, With Messy Hair Wearing Sweatpants To Do Her 'Everywoman' Shopping." A September 30 post on The Blaze stated:
Our First Lady has sooome luck. Not only is her hubby the leader of the free world, but just as the Obama camps [sic] is desperately looking for a way to relate to America's Average Joes, a staff photographer with the Associated Press just so happened to be there to document her recent Target shopping jaunt.
[...]
What luck! Obama also wasn't snapped without make-up, with messy hair wearing sweatpants to do her "everywoman" shopping... like some of us who will remain nameless.
Exit question: I could see a quick stop in at the local Target store as something that might happen out on the campaign trail. But who really believes Michelle Obama left the White House to pop in at the Alexandria, Va., Target because the East Wing ran out of paper towels? [The Blaze, 9/30/11, emphasis in original]
Weasel Zippers: "Honestly, Who Does She Think She's Fooling?" A September 29 Weasel Zippers post titled, "Pic of the Day," stated, "See, Mooch is just like us!" and showed a photograph of the first lady at Target. The post went on to ask, "Honestly, who does she think she's fooling?" [Weasel Zippers, 9/29/11]

I guess they're cranky. It's the idea of having Mitt Romney running as the 2012 GOP nominee because Chris Christie has continually rebuffed all their slobbering man-crush pleas. Poor right-wingers, they need a nap. Because really, Michelle Obama is in their crosshairs? She has been nothing but a model First Lady. It's a creative game they have of just making stuff up. I'll try it: If she disappeared from sight for a few weeks Beck would say that she must be hiding in a cave in Kenya practicing some ancient voodoo mojo to undo Christianity in America so we'll be more susceptible to becoming Marxistsocialistheavens.
Try your own hand teabircher thinking. It's shockingly easy.

Really? - :O

I'm sorry but it is all ridiculous in my opinion. Just like the attacks Michele Bachmann has had to endure and how mean the left was to Palin when she ran for VP and after. That door swings both ways. You cannot attack the right when the left does the same thing...or this ANOTHER double standard?

It's not a double standard - JS

It's apples and oranges. Both Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin put themselves in the spotlight when they decided to get into the game of politics, leaving themselves open to questioning and comment. Whether those comments are in bad taste is a different story, but they knew very well what they were getting themselves into before they got in. Do I think that they are overly picked apart because they're women? You betcha. However, I do think that these two particular women do and say enough to get blasted on to divert the regular attention females get in the spotlight which is usually based on what they're wearing, how much weight they may have put on, and other various silliness based on their appearance.

Michelle Obama is guilty of nothing more than being the wife of the president. She didn't necessarily ask for this attention (and the Obama children didn't either) and wouldn't be getting it if she wasn't BO's wife. Personally I think she's a great First Lady, and her message of get off your butts, move around, and eat in moderation is one that especially Rush Limbaugh should be supportive of AND follow. Guess that wouldn't make good radio then. The more M. Obama gets picked on, the more it looks like they're really grasping for straws on something... anything to attack. It's a childish desperate stunt.

I don't believe Michele Obama - sm

didn't know what she was getting herself into. When you are the wife of the president of the United States....you are in the spotlight. As for Obama's children...I have never heard anything negative said about them.....unlike the horrible things that were said about Palin's children including her Downs child. Yes, Palin and Bachmann are politicians, but I do believe Palin's wardrobe was nitpicked as well, her children ridiculed, and jokes about her handicap son were made. If that wasn't way over the top, I don't know what is.

I admire Michele Obama for her wanting kids to get fit, eat right, and exercise. But you have to practice what you preach. I highly doubt all the fine restaurants and parties, etc. that the Obama's attend have strictly healthy foods. Also, and I mean no offense as I have a booty as well, it seems rather comical for her to promote fitness when she has a very prominent back side of her own. When you talk about helping the poor and bash the rich and then you show up to charity events in expensive clothes that could feed those people for a whole week...you are gonna get picked apart. That is the part of being in the spot light...as the first lady usually is.
Both Beck and Limbaugh picked on at least - mthead

debunked. I have no links at this time; however, it does not make what I am suggesting any less true. If someone was really interested I guess they could research. I personally think there are many more important issues that should be talked about, but they would require using our brains. It is so much easier to bash people and doesn't take much thought. BTW, talking in generalities here, not MTs on this board.

does it have to be debunked? I agree--not worth it. Probably could find the debunking in the archive, though. Shortest memories ever! They really should go into professional recycling.

Okay, if you like Michelle that's fine. She's pretty, seems nice (although I don't know her personally so can't say for sure). But facts are facts. She is not spending just her own money. The documentation is there. It's making news in liberal papers and even overseas - and the white house is not denying it. Seems the only people denying it are here on this board who will support them even though know what they are doing is wrong. So, here is some documentation.

"While the President and his wife do pay for some of their personal expenses from their own pocket, the website whitehousedossier.com says that the amount paid by the couple is 'dwarfed by the overall cost to the public'."

There is more. I have not found anything that says these claims are not true. If it wasn't true I wish Michelle would prove that everything she spends is her own money.
