I'm going to be really pissed if I find out that I'm the only one without x-ray vision.

It's not exactly see through, but is form fitting. I think it broadcast beauty, without broadcasting sex.

Having said that, the male mind is very good at reading between those lines, and see no reason for minor to to broadcast that to married, mostly old men.

Can you see her ass? Can you see her underwear?

No, you can't.

The dress is obviously designed to be two layers; sheer on top, and opaque underneath...

Some did, but the posts got deleted as off topic. And it's low how Drudge, Hannity and others pushed the misrepresentation to national audiences when they knew differently, e.g.,

YouTube - Ignorant Ass Drudge & the Freepers Have Media Running Obama Photo That Doesn't Show What They Say

Especially scumbaggy, it's pretty clear it was meant to scratch bigotries, given the teenager inaccurately appears white from behind and with him letching and ogling her, which triggers the old stereotypes and social prohibitions of bigots regarding black men and white women, aggravated here by an older married black man who is POTUS doing so upon a supposed shapely teenage white female.

Quite frankly, they are pieces of shit IMO for doing that. Hit jobs are par for the course in politics, but I draw lines when the attacks stand to do more harm than just political and bring out crap society should--and most decent folks want--to get past insofar as societal relations. This attack also hurts decent minded conservatives because now that the real context has been shown to prove it was a false hit job, it popped up the heads of the bigots that lurk under the cloaks of conservativism and all decent minded conservatives will get targeted with guilt by association. And the talking heads and FOX that played this dishonest and nefarious hit job will again be painted as being their 'spokesmen.'

That's true, depending on how a media outlet or pundit leans, it is unfortunately common that the bias will show. This particular case did involve a larger angle of the ugly old race stuff that IMO merited throwing water upon ASAP, so in that regard, I think this was a good one to expose quickly for society's sake. But even beyond bias, US media very often leaves out of context stuff as it is anyway out of sensationalism, laziness, larger interests in bullshit stuff they would rather air to increasingly dumbed down audiences, etc; hence, why I find US media increasingly a poor source of news if that is what one really seeks.

hmmm

if this was a righty there would be thread on here, and in the end if it was a righty the entire lineup on MSNBC would run it also

hope your indignation will actually apply to all in politics and not just obama bashers
