LA Times Reporter: What’s Worse, Obama’s Auschwitz Lie Or Republicans Pointing It Out?

Seriously.  That’s the question this ponce from the LA Times named Stuart Silverstein is asking about Obama’s Auschwitz gaffe:

What’s worse, Obama’s apparent gaffe or the RNC pouncing on a Holocaust-related historical mistake for political advantage?

What, Republicans aren’t supposed to point it out when Obama says stupid things?

Also, gotta love how he throws in that “Holocaust-related” jab in.  As though it were somehow vaguely anti-Semitic to point out that Obama’s uncle didn’t actually liberate Auschwitz as Obama claimed.

Just another proud moment from a member of the fair, balanced and objective media.  Honestly, sometimes it’s almost like these people work for the Obama campaign or something.

The guy liberated a different camp.  Why the fuss?

(I see the fuss on a different thread.  Never mind the above)

I know the Obama faithful love to exonnerate the messiah from pretty much everything, but come on.  This is a terribly inauthentic moment from a man who is supposed to be authenticity personified.

I mean, if he’s so flippin’ proud of his uncle how does he not know what prison camp he helped liberate?

Of course this is the same LA Times that had a hissy-fit when McCain misspoke about Al Queda in Iran.

There’s also a problem here, JPE, with this reporter criticizing Republicans for pointing out something stupid Obama said.

Have we really reached a point where we can’t even mock stupid things Obama said without suffering pursed-lipped condescension from the media?

After 8 years of listening to you liberals howl with mirth every time Bush reached a new level of verbal flubbery, I find this highly hypocritical.

Harvard grad.and presidential candidate with no grasp of the truth!  This is a big deal.  Can you imagine Mccain saying this the cries of senility would be deafening.

Rob:  It’s all about protecting the Obama image, no matter what.  If Bush or McCain had said the same thing, the LA Times and the MSM would crucify them!
