Reptilian does describe her. I couldn't care less if people made fun of Michelle Obama's looks or Obama or anyone else I like. Just because you're a woman doesn't mean you get special treatment when you become a public figure.She does look a bit like a reptile, so I don't see saying she does is a problem. If she didn't, it would be.I notice that a lot of liberals like to bust on Ann for how she looks like a man in drag. What's up with that? Aren't liberals all about the acceptance? Shouldn't her apparent gender (if you really think she looks like a man in drag) just be "ok", shouldn't it be a non-issue? I'm pretty sure if conservatives were saying the same thing about a liberal commentator the "-ism"s would be flying like crazy.
It's okay for a liberal to call a conservative woman a drag queen, or fat, or hideous, or skanky, or any other name that would normally send that liberal into a tizzy.
See, the evilness of conservativism removes the normal protective barrier that overlays protected classes. Thus, virtually any slur is acceptable when used against a conservative (free of the pangs of conscience).
It's hypocritical, but what did we really expect?
Here's a good example of how it works:
Ann Coulter has earned every bit of criticism. She looks like a reptile to me.
See how the fact that Ann Coulter hasn't played the liberal ballgame opens her up to any sort of attack? And, not an attack on her WORDS OR IDEAS, either. An attack on her physical person.
Now, I am not an Ann Coulter fan, I think she's a shrill, hysterical hate-monger. But I don't feel a need to attack her on the basis of what she LOOKS like.
Another word to define this behavior would be HYPOCRISY.
