Wingnuts dissing reality again

The wingnut blogosphere is operating a few facts short of reality once again. Someone posted a diatribe complaining that Obama dissed Medal of Honor winners because he didn't attend the American Legion Medal of Honor ball which was not one of the 10 official balls. Needless to say this has generated a whole slew of wingnut blog posts about how our new president is dissing the troops.

And you wouldn't believe what the 101st Chairborne, as John Cole calls them, are saying about our new prez or maybe you would.

At any rate, they're all spitting into the wind. And pretty soon (let's hope) they'll figure it out.

The American Legion sponsored the Commander in Chief ball this year which President Obama DID attend.

And guess what? The Medal of Honor winners WERE THERE. In fact, they lined up for a picture with the new president and you can actually see them in one of the pictures accompanying this article from Stars and Stripes.

What's really interesting is that comments pointing out the oversight in the post are edited or removed from the blog. Well, I guess the blogger is just fulfilling the expectations we've all come to have for the wingnut blogosphere ... creating their own reality because they can't deal with actual facts.
