It is in very poor taste, and un-American and antiquated and hearkens back to the worst of human history. That doesn't mean it was a tragedy... nobody died... but it was GROSS. The Academy should not have asked, though they have the right to do so, and she should surely have not accepted.

(53,661 posts)I wondered if the other thread was a parody of something from Freeperville or Dittoheadland because it had every sneering RW remark. We know the RW hates both the Obamas, but their attacks on Michelle are always overreaching and frivolous. I don't know if it was for real. This OP does have a rebuttal of the sneers, so it's not Meta.

Something happened. For some people, something happening is just another excuse to get all upset and unglued and act like the 'event' was somehow actually important.
Meh.
