GOP site calls for torture of Obama
Wired reports:
The Sacramento County Republican Party hosted a graphic this week comparing Obama to Osama bin Laden, with the caption “The only difference between Obama and Osama is BS,”The Sacramento Bee reports. The text of the graphic adds, “Waterboard Barack Obama.”
The site — an official GOP site — recycles many already-debunked lies about Obama, attributing to him damaging quotes that were actually fabricated by other Republicans, such as this one that was invented by the Arizona Conservative, which claims that Obama refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance with an equally false quote: “I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides. There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message.”
