Michelle Obama said recently, "For the first time in my life I am really proud of my country."
Ladies and gentleman I have just attacked Michelle Obama.
Because in today's political climate attributing words to their original speaker is dirty pool.
So the next time a Democrat tells you something like, "Michelle Obama said it should be a priority to heal the sick children of America," you should admonish them for their ruthless attack on Mrs. Obama!
"How dare you repeat what she said like that! Have you no shame!"
"But Mrs. Obama stands by her statement that the sick children of America should be healed," you say.
Well how are we supposed to know which statements she stands by and which statements shouldn't be repeated by anyone, at anytime, ever?
And what if we're asked? "Did Mrs. Obama say, 'For the first time in my life I am really proud of my country.'?"
If I answer yes I am attacking her! If I answer no I am lying! Do I say, "I cannot confirm nor deny any previous remark made by Mrs. Obama, Senator Barack Obama, his campaign staff or any Obama supporter."?
If I direct them to Wikipedia and they discover she said, "For the first time in my life I am really proud of my country," am I guilty of indirectly attacking Mrs. Obama?
I have a better idea, why don't we all openly discuss what the candidates and their wives say on the campaign trail and then use the information we've gathered through intelligent dialogue as a basis for our decision regarding who we vote for come November! Sure it's radical, but I think it's just crazy enough to work!
Oh, that's right, you Democrats are all about free speech as long as it doesn't harm your candidate or oppose your beliefs.
I'll start working on another plan.
Darn it, I really thought I had something there with my idea of using information to help us choose a candidate.
