Michelle Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in her heart and mind she inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.

George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

Many people know what Bush did.

And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

Bush was absolute evil.

Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

Bush is a psychological prisoner.

Bush has a lot to worry about.

Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.

Brad, you’re an excellent example of why some mothers in the wild eat their young. Congratulations on so clearly displaying for us the perils of defying natural selection.

Michelle Obama grew up in a working class family on the South Side of Chicago. That’s a documented fact. So, yes, she can empathize with working people who struggle for paychecks. It’s amazing how you can dismiss the hard work of a young woman who succeeded at both Princeton and Harvard Law. Why is it so easy for you to not acknowledge the effort that took or the triumph of that challenge? Why is her rise not worth lauding?

If you did your homework, you would have learned that Michelle Obama left a major law firm to take a much lower paying job with the City of Chicago. After succeeding at that job, she took an even lower paying job working for a non-profit.

You don’t understand what life is like for many people of color in the United States. It’s easier to pretend that you do and then make ill-founded judgments because you lack the appreciation of experience or deliberate ignorance that a simple trip to the library would end.

I’m a man. I don’t know what it’s like to be a woman. If I were writing about women, I would research their perspectives before I presumed to know every thing.

Do you have any real friends who are African-American? Did you talk to them before writing this hit piece?

Reality check: claiming supporters who are black, white, and brown is not being racist. It’s recognizing the fact that people of different backgrounds are coming together.

I recall Dr. Martin Luther King dreaming of a day when black and white children would be able to play together. Was his “I Have A Dream” speech racist?

Moreover, your implication that Michelle Obama is somehow anti-white is interesting. Where’s your proof? Oh, that’s right you don’t have any. The mysterious tape was a hoax. (What Republican race-baiters don’t seem to understand is that the only one in 2008 who use the term “whitey” are white people trying to paint someone black as racist. That is a term from the 1960s. It’s not in use by African-Americans for the last 30 years. You won’t find it in popular cultural or colloquial speech.) The slice and dice job of her senior thesis was debunked.

(Have you ever commented about the Republican Southern Strategy? What about the well documented cases of Republican voter suppression in black communities?)

Then there’s your statement about her marrying a “half-white” man. Well, obviously, someone who is racist wouldn’t marry someone who is the object of her alleged hate.

You may want to do a little research to understand that the majority of African-Americans have European ancestry. You know, like Martin Luther King, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle, Chris Rock, etc. So, did it ever occur to you that Michelle Obama has white ancestry, too?

There was thing called the One Drop Rule that nice racist people but into law that any person with 1/64 African ancestry would legally be considered black and subject to segregation and other horrific laws. The famous case of Plessy v Ferguson that legalized segregation was about a man who was 7/8th white but considered “black” being forced from sitting in a “whites-only” section of a train.

When most, not all, white American refused to associate with mixed-race people, they were embraced within the African-American community. Have you seen a picture of Adam Clayton Powell or Thurgood Marshall? Have you ever read about Walter White, the blond, blue-eyed, fair-skinned head of the NAACP?

BTW, “brown people” is a term that many people of color have chosen for themselves. For instance, Indian-Americans claim that for themselves as do many non-white Latinos and mixed-race people. Check out Ultrabrown.com, a site for Indian Americans or read the book “The Soul of Brown People.” Your revulsion at the term just shows your willingness to not understand that other Americans don’t share your world-view and the presumption that your perspective is “normal.”

Finally, if you want to try to pass off John McCain as a man of the people, it would be pretty hard considering he has 9 houses, had a private lake built because he wanted to fish, and, through marriage, is worth $100 million.

Let’s not even get into how McCain was a serial adulterer who dumped his first wife for a younger, blonder, and richer woman. We could then talk about how McCain called Cindy McCain a c*nt in public. (What kind of man calls his wife that? Especially in public? I don’t know of anyone in my life who has ever referred to his wife as that or another women. Maybe I’m strange, but that’s my family and circle of friends taught to respect women. and never use that word.

That’s not to say that I don’t have sympathy for the McCains who were the victim of vicious racist attacks by the Bush campaign in 2000 when Karl Rove spread rumors that the McCains’ adopted daughter was John’s black lovechild. When that occurred, did you write to denounce those attacks?

But back to your attack on Michelle Obama, how long do people like you think if you keep up with these attacks that Cindy McCain won’t fall under the microscope? Didn’t she commit adultery, steal another woman’s husband? A woman who had suffered a horrible, crippling injury and endured painful and therapy? We could also talk about Cindy’s history of drug abuse and criminal history of writing forged prescriptions to score some drugs.

But ignoring the failings of Republicans is pretty easy. The Bush family’s history is interesting: Preston Bush was such a good friend to the Nazi business establishment; George W. Bush went to Andover, Yale, and Harvard (amazing how a C-average student could be admitted to such prestigious Ivy league schools. Thank god for rich guy Affirmative Action); and fought addiction with alcohol and cocaine; Neil Bush is constantly involved in business scandals and the occasional dalliance with herpes carrying hookers paid for by the Chinese military; and then there’s Jeb Bush and the great job he did with raising his children, all of whom have criminal records from stalking to stealing drugs to feed a drug habit.

Now that my Big-Eyed Boy is in summer day camp, it’s been really wonderful having the entire day available to write more in-depth stuff. Unfortunately, I first need to catch up on mental down time.
