White House spokesman Robert Gibbs wore a purple bracelet on his weekend TV appearances to show support for a 9 year-old girl who has cancer. But a deep thinker at Andrew Breitbart's Big Government didn't know the facts and thought it was to show solidarity for SEIU, or to send a “signal” to the union, and wrote up a painfully dumb, conspiratorial post about it.

Best part? Big Government refuses to update its post and tell its readers the embarrassing truth about the purple bracelet, which of course, simply confirms that Big Government is so dumb it hurts.

Behold “conservative journalism.”

UPDATED: If nothing else, the comments posted at Big Government are priceless as outside critics, clued into the truth, note just how badly the site botched this story.

My favorite:

WOW. What an EPIC FAIL of a post. How sad and pathetic.
An ounce of research as opposed to partisan knee-jerk-conspiracy-theory-over-reaction found here would show just how foolish the author and essentially every commenter here (not including myself) is. Disgraceful.
