Yep.

[blackdwarv.livejournal.com]

Mostly true, though the rate at which we are killing muslim girls has decreased immensely under this administration...

Plenty to go around:

Boko Haram is fighting the Taliban? Yeah, didn't think so.

Sorry if you think we should just turn Afghanistan back over to them. Obama inherited both those situations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

LOL

he's the great inheritor

Any criticism of the Democrat ruling elites is distraction! LOL@YOU

[dexeron.livejournal.com]

Well, we wouldn't want to let any event in the world pass without taking the time to turn it into a criticism of the White House, now would we? Wouldn't want a serious crisis to go to waste!

[trog.livejournal.com]

Or maybe we just want to scale back the hypocrisy some... you know, like not having the wife of the guy who has murdered plenty of girls with flying death robots act like she gives a shit about THESE little girls.

[dexeron.livejournal.com]

You seem to be privy to Michele Obama's innermost thoughts. Please, continue to enlighten us as to what she does, and does not, give a shit about.

Or, you know, keep whingeing about "Any criticism of the Democrat ruling elites," as if most liberals here haven't talked, at length, about their dislike of Obama's continuation of the drone program.

[trog.livejournal.com]

What the fuck does "whingeing" mean? jesus fucking christ on a stick

[dexeron.livejournal.com]

"Whinging" with an extra typoed "e."

[icelore.livejournal.com]

Oh no, someone made a typo and left and extra 'e' in a word - I can see where that would totally derail you.

#BENGHAZI 4 EVER LOL!
#LOGIC FAIL 4 EVER HURR TO DA DURR!

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

For whatever reason, the whole "thing" of holding magic marker made signs irritates the crap out of me, and to see the first lady of our country doing it makes me roll my eyes.

I'm probably just old.

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

There are limits to it:

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

Ha!

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

I blame Bob Dylan.

[cinnamontoast.livejournal.com]

So retro.

[soliloquy76.livejournal.com]

Tu quoque fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque) at its best. Putin would be jealous.

[trog.livejournal.com]

Pointing out hypocrisy is not a logical fallacy.

[soliloquy76.livejournal.com]

So what's the point of putting this image next to the one of Michelle Obama? Does he think she supports the killing of innocent Muslim girls? Or that she genuinely doesn't want the safe return of those taken by Boko Haram? There's no hypocrisy here, just a cheap attempt to hijack an awareness campaign by someone with an ax to grind. There are better ways to raise awareness about the reckless drone program.

[trog.livejournal.com]

It means it's ridiculous for someone whose husband actively murders little girls to join a movement to save little girls while still supporting her husband. It's an attempted political hijacking and it's ridiculous and disgusting. It would be like if George Bush came out against government spying. You'd be like, WTF?. See?

[soliloquy76.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get the logic. The key component here is that there's no evidence that Michelle supports killing Muslims girls, nor does there seem to be evidence that she supports a reckless drone program, thus no hypocrisy. Now if Barack Obama were holding up the sign, you and this guy on the right might have a point. Either way, it's still textbook tu quoque.

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

whose husband actively murders little girls

This is where you either have comprehension errors or are willfully ignorant. Try harder.

[wight1984.livejournal.com]

"actively murders little girls"

That's misleading at best...

[mantriddrone.livejournal.com]

no its not and for you to suggest otherwise is laughable.

[wight1984.livejournal.com]

The statement is presented without appropriate context and makes dubious use of both the term 'actively' and 'murders'. You'd have to be wildly biased against Obama to even begin to think that it was a fair description.

[ice-hesitant.livejournal.com]

Apparently most of the kidnapped young people are Catholic.

Also, Boko Haram kills the boys, not the girls. Objection with the girls is to kidnapping. I'm pretty sure Obama hasn't been kidnapping Muslim girls.

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

Oh ye of little faith! Obama has been kidnapping Muslim girls and forcing them to get US citizenship so they could re-elect him, Duh!

[catlin.livejournal.com]

They are however talking about selling the girls as slaves, and raping them, and forcing them to marry the members of their gang.
