Surprise! Right-wing blogger stands by his manufactured Obama quote
November 20, 2009 12:43 pm ET by Eric Boehlert
On Thursday, the prevaricating Gateway Pundit claimed Obama went on CNN and bragged that, "I've restored America's standing in the world." GP then mocked "The Arrogant One" for his massive ego. But oops, that's not what Obama said. Here's what he said: "We've restored America's standing in the world." [Emphasis added.] A little different, right?
But it's been more 24 hours and Gateway Pundit, supposedly one of the leaders of the conservative blogosphere, has not updated his original post or headline, let alone posted a correction to acknowledge that yeah, he doctored Obama's quote.
Behold the right-wing blogosphere, where manufactured quotes, even those involving the POTUS, are welcomed!
We are dealing with Generational Hate that has been passed down from their Fathers.
We are Fighting an Enemy that has no regard for the Truth.
How can the Facts have any meaning when your Opponent is this Uncouth?
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
They can't even get consistent in their Obama Derangement.
Is Obama too arrogant, or too humble for bowing to the Japanese Emperor? Are we supposed to believe he's this extremely arrogant man who then goes around bowing inappropriately?
