Apparently some people got bent out of shape about Michelle Obama’s comments on C-Span, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.”
Here’s what Bill O’Wildy said on his show with regards to Michelle’s remarks:
You know, I have a lot of sympathy for Michelle Obama, for Bill Clinton, for all of these people. Bill Clinton, I have sympathy for him, because they’re thrown into a hopper where everybody is waiting for them to make a mistake, so that they can just go and bludgeon them. And, you know, Bill Clinton and I don’t agree on a lot of things, and I think I’ve made that clear over the years, but he’s trying to stick up for his wife, and every time the guy turns around, there’s another demagogue or another ideologue in his face trying to humiliate him because they’re rooting for Obama. That’s wrong. And I don’t want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there’s evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that’s how she really feels — that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever — then that’s legit. We’ll track it down.
Wow, I’m almost speechless. Of course, he doesn’t flat out say “I would consider lynching Michelle,” but he came short of saying it. Besides, Fox commentators have a history of taking things out of context in order to justify their warped views on reality, so it doesn’t hurt to give them a taste of their own poison. This is Bill O’Reilly we’re talking about here, so they’ll probably let him slide with this one.
