Racist, anal retentive wingnuts never quit

Beyonce is the latest target of the haters. They're compelled to attack an outstanding, beautiful woman, and try to make her something "dirty."

On Twitter, conservative commentator Michelle Malkin posted a picture of the pop star performing at the Super Bowl with the sarcastic comment, “Cuz nothing brings us all together better than angry @Beyonce shaking her ass & shouting “Negro” repeatedly.”

While others criticized the Black Lives Matter themes in her song, “Formation,” others were appalled at her clothing — a bandoliered jacket and tights modeled after Michael Jackson’s iconic costume, along with fishnet stockings.

Anti-choice activist Lila Rose tweeted, “Beyoncé show could have been just as good if they had all worn pants. Beauty doesn’t need to be vulgar. Families are watching.”

I was supposed to be so outraged and offended by her performance last night. I still don't get why I am supposed to be outraged and offended. LOL.

4. Not a fan of malkin, but both the missus & I thought that Beyonce's outfit did nothing

for the cause of promoting her talent as a singer/performer. Rather is served to continue the objectification of women as sexual objects first, singer/performer second.

My two cents...

The act would have been "better if they all wore pants"? Why not a dress? Not just misogynistic, but also pretty damn prudish.

11. Malkin Is the "Haterest" of the Haters

Let's hope that she is never exposed to:

Ice Skater Kristi Yamaguchi: Trump supporter who wore skimpier outfits on family TV than Beyonce did on the halftime show

Lara Flynn Boyle: once named "Republican Babe of the Week" and showed a lot more skin in her role in Men in Black III

Britney Spears: even Paris Hilton thought she needed help in the modesty department getting out of a car. Don't anyone tell her about Spears' video of "I Wanna Go."

Megyn Kelly: some photos of her have crossed the line into soft porn.


But nobody ever accused Malkin of being fair or balanced.

13. As an old man with absolutely no sex drive at all. It was a good performance and she was HOT.

And yet the females at FauxNews will sit on a sofa with their leg open and the camera shooting up their skirts. That is intentional.
