Right-wing lies about Obama are greeted by willing believers

AS my gramma would say, Oy Vey... The list of nutty fabrications about Obama, his administration and Democrats is long. Here's a small sample from FactCheck.org: • Obama intends to force a complete ban on all weapons for U.S. citizens through a United Nations treaty. Total paranoid fantasy -- Obama has actually broadened the number of places where citizens can carry guns. • Barack and Michelle Obama surrendered their law licenses to avoid ethics charges. Another big lie. • This dictatorial president has issued 900 executive orders, some creating martial law. Wrong -- he's signed 139 executive orders, none establishing extraordinary powers. • The government bought 79% of the vehicles sold by General Motors in June. Nope, completely false. • The Democratic National Convention hosted a Muslim prayer service while rejecting prayers from a Catholic cardinal. Another falsehood -- the Muslim service took place in a park and the cardinal gave the convention’s final prayer. • Obama plans to deny emergency brain surgery to patients over 70, do away with the National Day of Prayer and get rid of the White House Christmas tree. Once again, lie, lie, lie.
