First Lady Bashing Gone Wrong

Check Out The Picture The Wingnut Base Is ‘Outraged’ Over

Oh those silly wingnuts.  It must have been a slow Fox ‘News’ day when they came up with this one.
This picture, showing the president with his hand near his heart is meant to cause an uproar of outrage among the imbeciles who frequent pages like Nation In Distress.  The First Lady, looking as stern as can be with arms folded, just refuses to acknowledge the country they think she hates.
It took me all of three seconds to notice the painfully obvious fail.  See if you can spot it:

That’s right, it appears that NOBODY else has their hand over their heart.  Does that mean that all of those service men and women hate their country and only the President cares?
That doesn’t quite fit the mold, does it?
The simple truth is that this is just another reason for the right to spew hate over nothing.  It’s another opportunity for the ignorant buffoons who don’t have three seconds to spare to call Michelle Obama a Wookie or “Moochelle.”
How very clever.
This isn’t the first (or second, or third, or fourth) time a picture like this has appeared.  They are either taken completely out of context or blatant photoshops.
The most famous has to be the “left hand over their hearts” photo, that can still be found circulating through wingnut covens and pages:

This obvious bit of photoshop went so far as to move the President’s lapel pin to the correct side, but forgot about his buttons.  That and a simple search for the original image makes this one especially ridiculous:

My personal favorite is the “getting off of Air Force One holding hands” conspiracy theory. Wingnuts claim that the Obamas are some sort of arranged marriage between a trans-gender woman (Michelle) and her gay husband (Barack).  To prove it they claimed that the only way they could be seen holding hands like a “normal” couple was via Photoshop:

Oh my.  You would think that with the resources of the Federal government at their disposal that the Obamas could have done a better job of faking this one. Here’s an original picture of their arrival that day.  Amazingly, Michelle only has two hands:

Dislike for politicians is an American tradition.  Satire about them is something political cartoonists have been doing for a couple hundred years.  This, however, is intentional defamation for the purpose of creating more hate, if that’s possible, towards a President who has done more for this country than the last three Republicans combined.
Luckily, only the painfully stupid will buy this crap, giving the rest of us plenty to laugh at them about.

Editor's Note: July 25 -2015
We had an anonymous reader ask why we were so mean on this post.
Sorry to disappoint you but we are not the mean ones here.
This post is about how the wingnuts treat the First Lady  - and 'mean' would be an understatement.
Normally we do not respond to any anonymous comments (we will not post any anonymous comments, ever), as a matter of principle.
However here either the questioner is naive and misread the post or a wingnut troll wanting to whine that we are being mean to them.
So we responded to the naivety  with a factual answer.
If it was a wingnut troll all we can say is tough, you are mean and ugly people and will be treated accordingly.
