Had a Republican candidate (e.g., Dan Quayle) gotten as many basic facts wrong relating a family anecdote, the media would have been on the great uncle’s doorstep the next day demanding to hear the old man’s reaction.
The media would have been demanding to know from the great uncle how he felt about being used by his grand-nephew to clumsily make a point about veterans benefits and post traumatic stress disorder.
But, above all, the media would get to the old man in the hope of finding out that he supports the other candidate. But the obamafied MSM is terrified that it might find out that Obama’s great uncle has not seen anyone from that crazy branch of the family in decades and he has never known Obama (one more example of Obama’s extraordinarily dysfunctional family life), never had PTSD (another notch for Obama’s gaffe belt); greatly resents Obama bootstrapping his campaign onto the great-uncle’s military service; does not support Obama and intends to vote for McCain. (yikes! a senior not supporting Obama)
