Offended because the cartoon wasn't making a political point other then to denigrate appearance of FLOTUS.

And yes black women in particular have been unduly subjected to this kind of treatment over many years.

What I find offensive is the total lack of policy discussion by everyone, politicians, pundits, and the voters. Its a presidential election year and we are discussing a retarded cartoon that appeals to lowbrow voters.

You either voted for Kasich or Sanders. I'm leaning towards Kasich.

Memes made by Trump supporters are too stupid and primitive to actually "offend" anyone with an IQ greater than that of a potato.

So it's not "offensive", more like annoying since it again puts the reality of the stupidity of Trump supporters in people's face.

It's just a "cartoon", but the mind behind it thought something and wants to convey a message. And this is thinking that is about on the level of an 8 year old, so basically like 90% of the Trump supporters.

When the criticism goes into:

We have zero qualms with the fact that she has chosen to pose for nude photographs and is an immigrant in the United States (something Trump himself is not in agreement with, as his “build a wall”/ “Mexican immigrants are rapists” rhetoric makes clear).

You really can't take the criticism seriously. Just another political junkie on a rant.

Offended? No.

I don't understand the cartoon. It certainly isn't funny to me. And I see no reason to subject Michelle Obama to any disparaging cartoon(s). Leave the wife and kids alone.

I also wonder if the cartoonist is trying to say Michelle is a strong woman and Ms Trump is some kind of lightweight trophy wife of no substance.

The cartoon is just muy stupido. As you say, Trumpsters will love it.

Policy? Republicans are post-policy. They haven't needed it so they don't have any-

Most people don't illustrate their hypocrisy in the same post.

"If you're not upset about this Michelle Obama cartoon, you're part of the problem"

I'm upset that Michelle Obama is obviously more masculine than her fey husband and I'm also upset that some douchebag trigglypuff princess thinks they can bully me into denying the obvious.

Parody poster, right?

Not offended at all. Not going to vote because I don't agree that no means I am part of the problem.

But Michelle Obama is the pinnacle for conventional respectability

No, no she isn't.

But Serena takes it to another level.

Serena is hot as fuck, imo. That booty and thighs!

I think the author is pulling at straws especially when the author states trump is against immigration. Try again. He's against illegal immigration which you would think congress would be completely behind seeing as it's illegal.

But this is a political cartoon, rarely are they funny and most of the time not true and very disrespectful.

Not offended, but it is mean-spirited.

That said, it's a political cartoon.

Oh no. Now I'm part of the problem.
This, exactly. I'd add tasteless - nothing Mrs. Obama has done warrants being attacked in this way. Unless maybe one counts the many "for the first time I am proud of my country" comments that lead me to think screw you, lady.

I find Michelle Obama rather meh, neither particularly attractive nor particularly unattractive. However, it's worth pointing out that her "extensive list of accomplishments" is limited to graduating from two Ivy League schools and not screwing up her husband's reign.

On the other hand, if Homer's picture is of Melania Trump then I don't find her attractive either. I prefer women to be a bit less Stepford Institute plastic edition. (Here "a bit" means "a lot".) But c'est la vie. Like most others here, I just don't care.

Wow your meet up with swamplizard had made you full out liberal.

I do agree with what you said and the previous post that Trumps wife is a pretty nobody model is a bit offensive too.

*werepossum assuming its a very close race and voting 3rd party = throwing your vote away how would you vote? Hillary or Trump?

From the article -

We have zero qualms with the fact that she has chosen to pose for nude photographs and is an immigrant in the United States (something Trump himself is not in agreement with, as his “build a wall”/ “Mexican immigrants are rapists” rhetoric makes clear).

1. It was not nude. Not Playboy (old style), more like Maxim.

2. Mrs. Trump WAS a LEGAL immigrant. NOT the same as ILLEGALS.

Let try it again. LEGAL =! ILLEGAL. They are NOT the same. Not hard to understand.

Let me ask straight guys this. If you can only save Melania or Michelle and then you can have your way with her. Which one would you save? There you go.

Yes I am offended. I have to live in a world where emotionally damaged people like the cartoonist get to shit on other people public ally and suffer no real consequences thanks to my he fact the poor emotionally damaged bastard can't be held accountable because he is captured in a state of robotic sleep. He piles a ton of garbage at my door, spreads hate and contempt and all I can do is forgive. He depends on me not losing it. Wonder if he has the courage to do one oh Mohamed.

Real courage is not blaming a cartoon for inciting violence just like not blaming the woman for inciting rape/sexual assault because of the attire she chose to wear,

when some religious leader tells you it is OK because you are defending your religions honor or excusing sexual assault because she wasn't dressed/behaving modestly enough.
