Michelle Obama Gets Reporter Fired for Comparing Her to an Ape
"Univision host who compared Michelle Obama to characters in the movie “Planet of the Apes” alleged Thursday that he was fired after the network received a complaint from the White House. In a broadcast on Wednesday, Figueroa said, “Michelle Obama looks like she’s part of the cast of ‘Planet of the Apes.'” Figueroa made the comments as a photo of the first lady was shown on screen." http://www.washingtonstarnews.com/michelle-obama-gets-reporter-fired-for-comparing-her-to-an-ape/

She isn't smart enough or good looking enough to be in Planet of the Apes so I have to completely disagree with the reporter.

I remember the story when the guy said it and I seem to recall it was a reference to her wardrobe or hair style not her race.

You would think a reporter would be smarter than that. Well, I guess sometimes you can serve as a good example of what not to do to others. |

Planet of the Apes didn't have any Wookies in it. Hah But seriously if he'd made a comment like that about any conservative First Lady the libtards would cheer him on. And they'd let it slide. I guess the zero family consider themselves too elite to be mocked by peons. So they have to punish people for exercising the first amendment. |

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough For Love Lucky he didn't have to pay with his life, saying this was beyond stupid. |

but not a word out of the WH when people on the right are called Hitler.
Oh and Univision is running its own political commercials saying "vote for someone like me" and they are all Spanish or black people. Anyone else ever see ABC, CBS, NBS, FOX etc run their own add advocating people to vote? |

What an idiot. Dude, you work for Univision, which is the unabashed Spanish-language propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. Hell, the Dems parked Henry Cisneros there as COO after he got kicked out of office for lying to the FBI. That is how tight the connection is.
