Former Tea Party congressman Joe Walsh took to his Twitter account this morning to criticize first lady Michelle Obama for planning to attend the funeral of young Chicago shooting victim Hadiya Pendleton.
In his first of two tweets directed at the first lady, Walsh wrote, Heartbroken Michelle Obama attending funeral of Hadiya Pendleton. I guess the other 553 murder victims didnt break her heart. (1/2)
Walshs follow-up tweet reads: Most of the 553 Chicago murder victims in 2012 & 2013 were young black males. Is she attending this funeral to make a political point? (2/2)
Fifteen-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was gunned down January 29th just a mile from the presidents Chicago home.
Pendleton was in Washington, D.C. a week before her death for President Barack Obamas second inauguration. She performed in the parade with her high school band.
Pendletons story has received national coverage, and the young teen has become a symbol of Chicago gun violence, drawing national attention.

(25,253 posts)He's worse than a has-been. He is a never-was. Don't give this guy the time of day. I hope he doesn't start showing up on the cable news networks now - but he's a perfect candidate for Faux I guess.
Not only is he a nobody, but he's a nobody who's message has been catapulted by a DUer in DU ...
Oh well ... there is a fascination with idiots here ...

(23,550 posts)Tammys really unique to me, Walsh said before the show. I dont normally get involved in politics. Shes someone who really cares. It doesnt matter who shes running against. I would be here. Shes a breath of fresh air.
Duckworth stood beside Walsh, wearing a black t-shirt with the name of Walshs first band, The James Gang. Later, Duckworth told Your Ward Room Blogger that her favorites Eagles song is Hotel California. That was a good answer, because Walsh joined the band on that album.

(1,805 posts)I just made the mistake of stopping by HuffPo and reading this and couldn't wait to see what the DUers have to say. What a total scumbag this sorry excuse for a human being! I still cannot fathom how he won in the first place! Does he get unemployment or any money for losing his job?
I had to laugh though...your comment reminded me of my daughter's first husband, somewhat affectionately known as Spacey Kacey, who actually wrote in the Eagles Joe Walsh for President sometime in the 1990s. Hadn't thought about that (or the ex for that matter) in a long time. I have no doubt he's still crazy after all these years!

Just another pathetic attempt to discredit the President and First Lady.
