[Trigger warning for racism, sexism, ablism.]
"I can't really tell for sure, but a number of people are abuzz about this video of Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Hussein Obama Idi Amin Dada. The consensus seems to be that the First Ms. Thang is saying to hubby Barack, 'All of this for a damn flag.' (She said this about the American flag—you know the one brave men died for.) Wouldn't be surprised if that's what she said because we know she hates America and previously said she wasn't proud of our country until Obama had a chance to become Prez. Looks like that's what she said, but I can't tell for sure. I would need a deaf person or other expert lip reader to confirm. Watch and see if you agree (like I said, even if she didn't say exactly that, we know she's thinkin' it)."—Rightwing asshole Debbie Schlussel, on the latest pearl-clutcher scandalizing the conservative blogosphere. Media Matters has more here.
Hey, Debbie—don't look now, but in the middle of your sneering racist screed at the First Lady, you also managed to slight every female soldier who has fought and died for her country. Whoooooops!
P.S. Not all hearing impaired people are "expert lip readers." FYI.
