Michelle Obama Fat, Binging On Burgers In Cartoon On Breitbart Site
And NO, I didn't post the cartoon OR the Breitbart link.

Michelle Obama is depicted as overweight and binging on hamburgers in a cartoon on Andrew Breitbart's Big Government website.

The cartoon, which also appeared on Breitbart's Big Journalism site over the weekend, references Obama's campaign to encourage healthy eating and fight obesity. In it, she is drawn with a double chin and plump cheeks. She is drawn saying, "I've stepped up my efforts to control America's eating habits by telling restaurants to lower portion sizes and fat content." While she says this, she is eating one of a plateful of hamburgers.

President Obama is shown next to her, with huge ears but no excess fat, eating one of a tiny number of vegetables.

"Michelle, I want to get re-elected," he says. "What you're doing is only going to annoy a lot of people."

"Shut up and pass the bacon!" she replies.

1. Sounds very racist to me
Not surprised, considering the source.
You'd have to travel a long way to find a more beautiful woman than Michelle Obama, but then again, people like THAT tend to dehumanize and denigrate women. It's just what they do.

7. That is called professional dishonesty and it is ALL THE GOP KNOWS.
They have turned lying and distorting events into an artform! And to think, it all started with Foxnews and the 2000 sElection! Sad sad sad.

8. The funny part.
Edited on Mon Feb-14-11 07:22 PM by RandomThoughts
What annoys people is not what someone says, it is usually their own contradictions they see when something is said.

Most annoying is internal. Although that brings up a great quandary, as phrased by doctor who talking about the cybermen, do we have the right to show them, to let them feel?

That is why that one song says 'you can't fight the tears that aren't coming.'

One way to avoid internal conflict and pain, (the truth hurts effect) is to close your mind to feeling and thought. And if you do not hurt people in your existence, that is ok. It is ok for some people to just live the life of trying to do better as they know it in their heart, even if not perfect.

But if you have some social responsibility or effect, then the internal pain of knowing things, is better then the effect on many not knowing those things might cause.

The more given, the more expected.

So in that, the learning that occurs when you have social responsibility is the sacrifice everyone that learns pays. Empathy can have great joy, but also some sorrow since that can help you find who needs help and support.


And pass the bacon is usually used by people that are talking about an old social rule, not a spiritual rule, that was in the Old Testament about pigs being unclean, and not eating pork. It is a targeted marketing attempt against groups that still think on those rules, to invoke the macro of those teachings in them.

By saying someone says 'pass the bacon' you get everyone that thinks of pigs unclean, to react with a visceral response. It is used as a smear without any meaning, only spending the thoughts in some person or group.

Still don't believe some are trying to put some to sleep?

For those that think 'walked into the door' means someone is in the dark, you don't see the meaning of that comment.

12. I used to be a cyberman when I was a kid
they needed to be small, as I was...

Walking among the elctrons I could feel the energy of paper in the wind

I don't think I was paid well but did have beer

Vagrant is a band as the gravel in a glass!

14. You just don't "get" conservative humor.
Requires having your development arrested.
