Michelle Obama On AC360 – Live Blogging
I am ‘live blogging’ the Michelle Obama interview on Anderson Cooper 360 in anticipation some major news may break as Michelle stands by her man and takes on Rev Wright. So here we go!
10:02 PM Eastern: Michelle is introduced as a ‘steely’ woman – which implies some sparks are going to fly. First some background stories before the interview. Interestingly it is Michelle Obama plus Caroline Kennedy?
10:03 PM Eastern: Q1: Did Wright Betray You? Michelle dodged the bait and simply stated she was proud of Barack’s speech on race, hinting that Wright was opening the schism not helping.
10:05 PM Eastern: Q2: How painful was this, when did you become disillusioned? Michelle dodged again and slipped past the details only to admit it was painful and time to move on. Tries to end the line of questioning.
10:06 PM Eastern: Q3 Attempts at Detente with Wright have been rebuffed, but can you go forward with Wright out there? Michelle say they will soldier through.
Sadly a dud of an interview – OK, now onto good TV.
AJ,
Someone has linked your updates on the War on Terror for today on Littlegreenfootballs. Yipee!
Ugh LGF… Little Green Facists.
Vince,
Have you ever read Littlegreenfootballs or just read what others have written about them? You surprise me…what makes you call them facists? (I’m being serious here, I really would like your opinion)
In the first days after CJ started his Sanctimonious Racism-Free Campaign, I left this comment:

Another day.. another report on what we’ve found on google today..
And then the followers all patting themselves on the back about how non-racist they are.
My God .. this is getting old.
We get it.. YOU ARE SUPERIOR.. THE LEADER AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE NOT RACIST.
DOWN DOWN WITH EVIL EUROPE
Inshallah

I was in the middle of writing this one, when my account was blocked, so never got to post it:
re: #419 Fjordman
I agree with your rational argument 100%
What I find funny is how all these commentators are like.. “We can’t allow ourselves to be tainted by the likes of..â€
Well first of all… the commentators on this board werent the people who actually moved beyond typing on a keyboard and actually arranged an intercontinental meeting.
The people many of you are criticizing are the people who are CONCRETELY taking action and actually doing something to preserve the West.
That you sit there and pompously act as if YOU’RE the people actually doing something and it’s THEM who are disposable… what a fantasy you people have.
The CounterJihad group will continue on with its mission.. actually doing real-world things.. meanwhile you all can sit at your keyboards feeling quite self-satisfied that you denied them your non-existent and non-forthcoming labor.
You were posting on someone’s blog and you pissed them off. I don’t want to get into who was right and who was wrong – but a personal disagreement (and all blogs are, after all, very personal to their owners) hardly makes someone a fascist.
I’m not trying to get in on the fight, or to say you were wrong, really I’m not. I just think you’re being a little too hard on CJ than is called for. (And for the record, I’ve never posted anything on his site)
He’s purged 100s of people. Whatever he’s doing , it goes beyond a difference of opinion
Anyway he was slandering good peolpe inEurope and America and painting them as racist nazis. So yes, I spoke up against that.
Vince,
I am again confused…Are you defending the likes of David Duke and the groups that LGF has critisized? I know the articles of which you referenced above but I didn’t search through all of the comments to find the one mentioned above to see it in context to the other comments. I will do that when I have time, but I’m still confused on your post that was blocked. Who exactly are you defending?
And yes, he’s purged 100’s of people because as popular as the blog is they have an abundance of Truthy/soothie/preaching/norms. AJ did it here out of necessity and you accept that…
I defended VB specifically. And I opposed his “oh I look, I googled this image of a cross.. and it’s in this picture here with this guy who I have no clue who he is.. but it’s obvious he must be NAZI” stuff.
Does that indict me in your eyes as being David Duke- like? wow..
Vince,
Of course it doesn’t mean you are David Duke-like and I didn’t say that it did.
LGF has done many many posts on VB and they have hardly been as simple as googling a tiny bit of information. The posts have been extensive with links that confirm in LGF’s mind what they were posting.
You arguing that with him doesn’t make you a nazi and neither does him blocking you make him a nazi (as you stated). Why he would block you I don’t know…there are quite a few people who comment there who disagree with him vehemently and they continue to comment.
Vince,
3 pages of posts if you haven’t read them all.

I’m quite content with my info and my support for VB. I dont need ignorant rantings from CJ .
Vince,
There are places I will not visit any more due to their race/ethnic solidarity attitude. That attitude may work for Europe (I seem to recall something about an Austrian corporal). In America we think differently. We are into solidarity of ideas – no matter what the race/ethnic background of the speaker is.
LGF seems to agree with me on that.
There are places I will not visit any more due to their race/ethnic solidarity attitude
I know what you mean. I live in Chicago and I try to avoid the black neighborhoods becuase I am made to feel very unwelcome there. So for my own safety I no longer go there.
We are into solidarity of ideas – no matter what the race/ethnic background of the speaker is. LGF seems to agree with me on that.
Where you agree with LGF is with the sanctimonious notion that you think I need a civics lesson because I dared to say the people of Belgium have every right to support and vote for the VB if they damn well want to.
So now I need lectures because of that simple statement?
Vince,
For a few innocuous questions you doth protest way too much.
And by the way, where did you say…”the people of Belgium have every right to support and vote for the VB if they damn well want to.”
Is there a parallel conversation going on somewhere I’m missing because I really don’t understand why you’re acting like you’re being attacked?
Oh well, I’ll just choose to assume that VB is a very important topic with you and that it makes you “passionate.”
I’m not passionate about VB. I couldn’t care less.
I’m passionately annoyed with people who find “racism” everywhere.. especially in places where it is not. THAT is what drives me crazy.
I’m glad you’re so sure there’s no racism in VB. Let’s hope you’re right……………………
There’s racism everywhere. Get off your high horse.
Vince,
Man, are you touchy lately. Here is your comment:
“I’m passionately annoyed with people who find “racism†everywhere.. especially in places where it is not. THAT is what drives me crazy.”

Now you are contradicting yourself:
“There’s racism everywhere. Get off your high horse.”
I’d say the one on the high horse is You, Vince.
What annoys me about people who see racism everywhere is THAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. In other words, they have to bother everyone else about it.
My statement about racism being everywhere was to end the whining about vb.
And yes I do believe there’s racism everywhere which is why when I see you on your mission to demonize VB , i do see it as being sanctimonious.. after all has VB ever implemented policies that even approached those of the Democratic party in America? And how about the Republican party attracting all the rejectionist civil rights opponents in the 60s when the Democratic party radicalized?
Are you going to go on a little minicrusade against those parties and their historical connections to inhumane racism?
