I say, either someone is making excuses for their lies or they need a hearing aid.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">It&#8217;s a normal part of life to comparatively say that the glass is half empty and another to say the glass is half full. We enter into something completely different if another claims the glass is totally empty when we know for a fact that&#8217;s not the case. We are all entitled to our own set of opinions but, what  we are not entitled to our own set of facts. Let&#8217;s put some facts out there, shall we?<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><em><strong>&#8220;She hates whites, ever read her Thesis?&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">This is a statement made recently about Michelle Obama.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">If you haven&#8217;t read her Thesis yet, you can find it here.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><strong>http:\/\/obamaprincetonthesis.wordpress.com<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">I couldn&#8217;t find anywhere in the Thesis that Michelle Obama states that she hates white people. Not even where she hints that she hates white people. For arguments sake, let&#8217;s look at where these type of people might get this idea.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><strong>&#8220;Blacks must join in solidarity to combat a white oppressor.&#8221;<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">All by itself, this looks rather damaging to Michelle Obama, I can fully admit that. What we don&#8217;t see is the context in which she said it. Let&#8217;s expand it out to include what came before, and after that quote and see if it reads differently.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><em>&#8220;As discussed earlier, most respondents were attending Princeton during the 70&#8217;s, at a time when the Black Power Movement was still influencing the attitudes of many Blacks.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><em>Is is possible that Black individuals either chose to or felt pressure to come together with other blacks on campus because of the belief that <strong>Blacks must join in solidarity to combat a White oppressor<\/strong>. As the few blacks in a white environment it is understandable that respondents might have felt a need to look out for one another.&#8221;<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">This is a readily available tool for those that have no ethics. Pluck a sentence out of the middle of anything and it becomes whatever they want it to be.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">Did everybody see someone throw out the name of a right-wing hack and shock jock Michael Savage as a good example of their proof that President Obama is a Marxist and or Communist. You have to be kidding me, right?<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">Does this person know that Michael Savage has been banned from entering the UK for &#8220;fostering extremism and hatred&#8221;, along side the Phelps group and some KKK guy and a few others. You&#8217;ll find him at the end of the list, his real name is Michael Weiner. I just couldn&#8217;t make that shit up!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><strong>http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/uk_news\/8033060.stm<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">You can see where the UK reaffirmed that he won&#8217;t be coming to their country anytime soon.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><strong>http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-1390738\/Barred-Shock-jock-Michael-Savage-U-K-ban-reaffirmed.html<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">I&#8217;m not going to put any of his ignorant asinine quotes here. I refuse to read them again. I do know that anyone that uses him as a creditable source has to be a sac of skin that holds testicles. Just Google him if you want to see his sickening blathering. He has direct ties to WorldNetDaily website, that&#8217;s all anyone needs to know is that he hangs out with the conspiracy theory wackos.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">A nit picker stated out loud that the tax payers pay for the food for the President and his family. I have a link here from National Geographic that says she is wrong.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><strong><em>&#8220;but the President is billed for all food consumed by his family and his personal guests.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font size=\"3\">http:\/\/ngm.nationalgeographic.com\/2009\/01\/president\/bumiller-text\/3<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font size=\"3\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">This same nit picker also did some backbiting about the vacations the First family has taken. I&#8217;m guessing they think that Mrs. Obama should never leave the White House, ever. For people that fight so hard not to tax the rich it seems awful hypocritical to not want them to spend their own money. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"> Private trips are paid for by the Obama&#8217;s, including the average price of plane fair for the trip. Here&#8217;s a link last updated April 10,2007,to a pdf file titled, Presidential Travel: Policy and Costs.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><strong>http:\/\/assets.opencrs.com\/rpts\/RS21835_20070410.pdf<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">As time permits, I will be doing these kind of blogs every time I see these lies being spread. I encourage each of you to do the same.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">Big shout out for the small hand full of people that spoke out about lunacy that had reared it&#8217;s ugly head   on a blog here on the &#8220;Burst&#8221; recently , Thank you!!!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\" size=\"3\">I think the answers given by the blog host shows this person in a light that many of us had tried to draw them out into before and failed. Seems as though this person is further to the right than they have ever let be known. They have shown themselves to be teetering on the insane side with the conspiracy theory nuts. I&#8217;m elated.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"3\"><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\">Play nice kids, I wrote this late last night and don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll be around much today. My brother-in-law passed away. He fought the good fight for these extra four months so hard!! It&#8217;s rather hard to get past stage 4 lung cancer though. I&#8217;ve now lost 4 people in the last 3 years to this same kind of lung cancer<\/font><font face=\"&apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva\">. \ud83d\ude41<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OPINIONS and ASSHOLES and HACKS, OH MY!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,6,26,2,1428],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","category-friendburst","category-news","category-other","category-politics-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54752\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
