all kinds of things, made outrageous claims about her trip to China, with pictures trying to make her look bad.I was googling for more MO in China pictures to add to a thread here, and it came up about sixth in the results. A machine that is as vicious going after her as they are her husband. I've argued with some of the ignoratti from Day One about her healthy diet ideas to stave off obesity and diabetes in children, and the garden at the White House.
She was attacked for making the garden organic, by groups claiming she intended to starve Americans, and make them fat at the same time! And like clockwork, pictures of rows of watermelons on the White House lawn were posted. But it's not racist, you know.
I never saw anything this bad with Reagan or Bush. Hillary bashing came close. But the literal fact of her existance is seen as some kind of affront to the reichwingers.
But today I stumbled on a black online news blog that goes into many things we don't see posted here, stories that are never put out by M$M.

(33,390 posts)I'm afraid to google it. And I honestly don't remember anyone going after Laura Bush in this manner. Maybe it's poor home training? I don't know. I just know that even in my late 20's and early 30's if I had walked into my leftist parents' home and made a nasty comment about the then First Lady of the US (Laura Bush) my mother would have washed my mouth out with soap.
These people have poor manners and lack basic home training.

(82,383 posts)I consider attacks on FLOTUS to be pure racism, as there is nothing a FLOTUS can do that is offensive (except Barbara Bush's stupid remarks).
This is on par with their blathering about bowing to the Japanese emperor or touching the Queen of England. Nah, it's even stupider.
