No matter what you think about President Obama, lay off the kids.
Also, don't slam the dog or the vegetable garden.

Sasha? Malia? They are little girls. Anyone attacks them....they are going straight to hell. DU, we need to do what happened with the Freeper thread anytime we see it. Get thee to the local and national media with your links and ensure they see the shit spewed by bigoted haters.

It's one thing for people to ignorantly go after President Obama's birth certificate or call him a socialist or even say things about Michelle. BUt leave the kids alone!!!

6. here's what one fucking racist said in reply
"The elephant in the room is the kind of negative black self-racism that keeps them — voluntarily — in the figurative and literal ghetto."

Oh reallly!! Was it self-racism that got Byrd dragged to pieces behind a truck, you motherfucking assholes??

Did the black security guard die at the Holocaust Museum die of gunshot wounds from a gun wielding white supremacist geriatric? Or from self-racism?

These people need to be exposed and basically have body politic in America make a choice of "with them or against them".

7. The conservative movement
Has evolved into a weird hodge podge of religious extremism and racism. There is no longer any other ideology other than hate of the other.

9. i hope so. I don't remember many "trig" posts or other crap here
I think DU doesn't allow that kind of deplorable behavior. Do you disagree? If so, what is your evidence?

11. i consider all family members as "civilians"...
if someone decides to enter the arena, then they are fair game.

their family was most probably dragged into this. i would leave them alone.

i'm sure many could disagree.

that's just how i see it...

10. Yeah, no kidding. The children are never fair game.
It's why I didn't participate in the bash-Palin's-kids threads here or anywhere else.

12. Are you talking about stopping this here at DU?
Or is this a call to arms to go forth and protest this when it happens "out there"?

Or is this a post of something that is so non-controversial and obvious, that it is a blatant attempt at greatest page status?

15. this is a call for us to self police better based on what we have just seen...also
it is a call to realize we can be the people who as a group push an issue like Free Republic's slam of Malia. If this kind of stuff gets pushed to other blogs by DU'ers then it has a chance to make it to the public arena watched by the "non activist" types around the country.

16. I personally wasn't a big fan of attacking the girls at all.
I can't say I NEVER EVER made a post late in their time as "first daughters" when the one was clearly following in her father's footsteps vis a vis the drinking....but in general didn't just take pot shots at either kid even after they were visibly campaigning for their daddy in 2004.

19. the Bush twins made it easy...
they were seen drunk and partying everywhere. They brought the publicity on themselves. These little girls are never exploited by their parents and should be left the hell alone. I agree that Palin's kids and all other politician's kids should be left alone as well. But then again...the politician shouldn't exploit their kids for political gain either!

17. do you even know what that means? If I said
People who make fun of Malia are condemned to Gehenna and the lake of fire where they will be tortured by Dick Cheney for all eternity....that would be hyperbole.

20. So what contingent of DU has been attacking the Obama kids,
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 01:22 PM by LWolf
that you need to threaten them with Hell, O Gatekeeper?

For the record, while I have been going after Obama for a couple of years now, I have never said anything negative about the wife, kids, dog, or garden. As a matter of fact, you may find, if you dig, that they are the recipients of the only positive Obama-related comments I've ever made.

Somehow, I've found things substantive enough about the center-right president to object to that I haven't needed to resort to birth certificate and socialism fantasies.

Are there really DUers doing any of the above that you need to lecture and threaten them with hell?

What, exactly, are you rallying your "troops" FOR?
