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.
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?
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.
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.
