Can I add that I'm really getting tired of the endless stream of personal insults aimed at various politicians' personal appearance, race, hair, clothing, etc...

I mean, really? We're going to sit around and mock how someone LOOKS?

Free Republic is a political discussion forum. It SHOULD be beneath us as a group to stoop to such juvenile tactics as I see increasing here lately.

Do we REALLY have to insult Mrs. Obama's appearance like a clique of nasty 14-year-old girls? Aren't there enough POLITICAL problems at stake with this administration???

Please, for the credibility of this important and terrific site, STOP the personal insults already!

Nerdier than 98%, I can see that. The answer is NO, NO and NO. The personal attacks will not stop and I have to question your real motivation. MO is fair game. End of story.

Please realize the press keeps shoving Mrs O down our throats as the most beautiful, gorgeous, stylish clotheshorse to ever come out of the USA. I think a huge majority of the posts insulting her appearance are in retaliation for treating us unsheeple as blind AND stupid.

Some of the horror displayed by the women on this forum is in part a reaction of “she’d look so much better if she wouldn’t do this, or did this instead”.

I agree 100%. Insults, name calling, and personal hatred serve as diversions from serious discussion of issues, and they're also bad PR for the conservative movement. Thoughtful, fair minded people aren't going to react positively to political discourse of the Jerry Springer variety. There are enough real political differences to argue about without introducing counterproductive personal venom. Our conflict with the left is political, not personal.
