The part I find both funny and sad is when my coworker showed me the article last Friday, the first thing I did was google "Obama's 50 Lies". The first link was to snoopes.com that did a pretty good job of debunking at least 48 of the 50. With the last 2 being kind of questionable still.

Yet some of the other links that displayed from rightwing blogs had headings of "Obama's 50 Lies -- as verified by snoopes.com".

If I called him unpatriotic, my words carry no weight in the public sphere, but if a group of Republican Senators did, it would be different. I guess McCain should start complaining about the comments made about him here on the UT?

>>>>>>In principle, I agree with you and I'd be extremely bent if someone questioned my patriotism. The weird thing is that Obama brought this up without anyone questioning his patriotism. Goes to my earlier point in that Democrats, at least the left-leaning ones, seem to believe they have to constantly state their patriotism even when not under duress. To me, that signifies insecurity.
