Snopes in the Tank, Again
Snopes “debunks” the “myth” that any Fannie Mae advisers had anything to do with Barack Obama campaign had an/Freddie “myth.” Must be seen to be disbelieved. Coming next:
CLAIM: Barrack Obama attended Trinity Lutheran Church for 25 years, during which it’s preacher, Hezekiah Cartwright, reportedly screamed “God damn the USA” and accused the federal government of inventing polio.
STATUS: False.
During election seasons, emotions run high and people are understandably eager to believe and forward emails that would ordinarily make them more skeptical…
[Four more pages of irrelevant smarm.]
This particular email is wrong on every count. The Army has barracks, but no one named “Barrack” is running for office, nor have we been enable to locate any church in Chicago called “Trinity Lutheran” or any preacher named Hezekiah. Mr. Obama has not been a member of any church for more than 20 years. “God damn the USA” appears to be cynical take-off on a popular song by Lee Greenwood called “God Bless the USA,” whose message is pro-American, not anti-American as the email suggests.

I almost didn’t realize this was a satire. Snopes’ political ‘debunkings” aspire to be every bit as objective as NBC News.
