I had a feeling this thread would end up looking like this...

Can she tell Miley Cyrus to wear longer shorts? I'm sick of that ad. Thanx.

Right-wing Nut Jobs. There is no trace of "conservative" left in the hysterics, even though they like to imagine otherwise.

While I get the impetus, I disagree on any "point" awards. I disagree that executive orders are the way to handle such matters, pressing though they be. I disagree with the characterization of "complacency" as there is far more nuance to governing in this environment - and since clear evidence demonstrates POTUS has actively pushed forward LGBT causes. I agree that it is not enough and that POTUS could be bolder on any number of subjects. But now I stray too far afield. Bottom line for me is that this heckler wasn't prepared for the strength of personality (which I admire greatly in women) that is FLOTUS, and that her request of EO was senseless in the matter. In either event I wasn 't giving out "points".

Hey, look at that, when you confront a real-life troll, even a lefty-troll, the butthurt response comes out just about the same as when you confront an online troll!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE, MICHELLE

Under Obama, everyone who works for the federal government is gay.

<i>Hmmm.</i> Reading a bit deeper, if indeed said heckler was merely requesting an EO specifically to intervene in fed contracting, then I retract the "senseless" and EO portions of my comment post haste. All else I let stand.

As you were.

11% of Federal workers are LGBTABC...XYZ 11% of private employees also.

Add 'em up, there's your 22%. Math!

Maybe the real Yahoos hadn't yet gotten their talking points from the wingnuttosphere.

Reminds me, I need to go remind Hoft that he needs to pay up. We should bug him, endlessly, about being a shameless welsher.
