Peace Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I get why the fat kitty line would be offensive. As far as the Pig face B word part I'm at a loss. Michelle actually does have a piggish grill, and I'm not sure if you got wind of her early in the primary before her handlers made her over, but she really is an angry pissed off B word, so I'm not sure why that's out of bounds. Perhaps you could shed some light on this. As to your "stones" comment, I can only assume you're projecting. Setting aside accuracy problems, her appearance is relevant how? Do you see your remarks as sexist? Did what she say relate to her "fat kitty and pig face" as you say? M Obama gets an appearance e v a l but Barack does not? Or other male politicians?

They ragged on the Clinton females too (Hillary and Chelsea)... Then the same people tend to cry foul about the whole lipstick on a pig (taken out of context) thing. Go figure. Sad because the sexists will always try to put a strong and powerful woman down by knocking thier looks then rally around the good looks of the ones that come of as ding bats.

Rob's House Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Setting aside accuracy problems, her appearance is relevant how? Do you see your remarks as sexist? Did what she say relate to her "fat kitty and pig face" as you say? M Obama gets an appearance e v a l but Barack does not? Or other male politicians? I see why you would think so, but no, the comments aren't any more sexist than telling a man he lacks the balls to do whatever, because you wouldn't tell a woman she lacked the ovaries to do as such. As far as appearance e v a l for a politician, she isn't one. She's just an angry B word that I find repulsive and I find it soothing to speak of her in such terms.

Then the same people tend to cry foul about the whole lipstick on a pig (taken out of context) thing. Go figure. Sad because the sexists will always try to put a strong and powerful woman down by knocking thier looks then rally around the good looks of the ones that come of as ding bats. As far as the Clinton females, a lot of those you speak of, like the SNL cast and writers that ripped Chelsea were libs. And for the record, I thought they all should have been horse whipped for going on TV and making fun of a 13 year old girl for being ugly. Michelle Obama, however, is a grown woman who likes to throw stones and is hideously ugly, and I'm tired of hearing how "beautiful" she is or how shapely her mannish arms are [thank you LABF]. I may have erred in referring to her as "piggish" and for that I would like to apologize, not to any of you because I don't owe you anything, but to myself, because I want to be as consistent and accurate a person as I can be, and if I'm going to make a metaphorical connection between Michelle and an animal I think a baboon has a far more striking resemblance.

Rob's House Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 So you condemned Limbaugh when he referred to Chelsea as a dog, right? I'd want to know the context, but if he said that outright, then yes I would. I'm always skeptical when someone attributes something like that to Rush because he so often gets taken out of context. There was some dildo on here last week posting lists of these bogus quotes, most of which were either tongue in cheek or parodying something someone else said, and this (*^*&%^$^#was trying to pass them off as straight up comments.

Booster4324 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) That's not cool. He should be ashamed. FWIW, I think Letterman's joke about the Palin daughter was tasteless, if not allegations of rape as some claimed. Family, like here, should be off limit in politics.
