Yeah, the protestor did say that, and I was pretty skeptical about the guy's comments given:
a) the fact I've met FirstLady and have a pretty good idea what her and Cory are all about,
b) it flat out doesn't make sense to insult someone who is on assitance because they're severely handicapped. I don't know many children that would do that let alone adults,
c) the individual lacked credibility himself.
I wasn't there to get into it with these people, I wanted to see first hand what was happening down there and what kind of discourse was happening and form my own opinion on it instead of relying on the media (social, professional, otherwise). Its no wonder the movement is dead. These people were not organized, articulate, or working towards any sort of result.
It was odd how that comment was one of the first things to be part of my experience there, especially because of my connection to this place and FL herself.
