When Fox News reported that President Obama’s daughter, Malia, had elected to attend Harvard University after taking a year off from school it seemed an innocuous enough story. However, their audience proved nothing is off-limits when attacking a black president, his wife, and his children.

After the right-wing propaganda network masquerading as a news agency reported that Malia (who can’t so much as look at a school or even wear a t-shirt without becoming the target of insane right-wing harassment), will be going to a good school, conservatives lost their minds and responded with such vitriol that Fox had to shut down the comments section on the article.

Malia decided on Harvard after visiting at least a dozen colleges, ultimately deciding to attend the school where her father earned his degree. Before she does this, she will take a year off school like many young people choose to do before going to college.

There’s nothing controversial about this at all. She did nothing wrong, but if you were to judge from the comments that flooded the website soon after the article went up, you would think she performed an abortion while marrying two undocumented immigrants inside a church while taking the congregants’ guns and stomping on a flag. Readers called her a “n*gger,” a “monkey,” an “ape,” and made it very clear that her skin color is something they consider important in determining her worth as a human being.

Here are just a few of their comments:

This is just one example of the Right attacking President Obama’s children. Malia became the subject of assaults after it was rumored that she had a couple drinks at a party while visiting Brown University. Whether or not she did is unknown, but conservatives decided that a.) she’s guilty and b.) for doing what many teenagers do, she is literally the devil. Another time, a photograph of her wearing a t-shirt featuring the words, “Pro Era,” the name of a rap label. When she was younger, conservatives even photoshopped an image of the President touching Sasha inappropriately, then presented it as fact. Sadly, it was well-received by the right. Malia can’t even get a job without being smeared as an “affirmative action loser.”

Malia Obama is a classy lady and it’s disgusting that Obama’s more hateful critics can’t so much as have the decency to avoid attacking his children. The Obamas have faced more irrational bigotry than have any other presidential family in history — and this is certainly not OK.
