[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

They say that it was a family story, that the uncle was a great uncle whom Obama called uncle, and that he participated in the liberation of a subcamp of Buchenwald, not Auchscwitz. Worse than misspelling potato, but not a big deal.

He is an empty suit with maroons writing his campaign material. HE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT!!!!!

Lucius,

Yes, just a few little errors ... but the punch line was not so much about his “uncle's” wartime exploits but his mental problems. He was using his uncle to make the claim that America does not care about its veterans. He made his “uncle” the crazy vet in the attic.

Well, if the linked article is correct, then what "they say" is still a lie because his uncle didn't have any hand in liberating an extermination camp at all but a labor camp called Ohrdruf, which a PLATOON from the 89th Division held for all of 3 HOURS until the infantry took over. Assuming that his "uncle" happened to be in that very platoon, and horrible as it undoubtedly was, it would hardly have been enough to send him to the attic for six months unless he had serious mental problems to begin with.

In other words, lies from beginning to end.

To quote the article -

The punch line is that Obama will make sure that America’s fighting men and will get all the mental care they deserve.

That’s it. That’s the punch line. That’s the reason for the fable. That’s what American fighting men are good for: a story line for a health care pitch. And the combat vet is cast in the eternal role that the Liberals have created for him: the crazy uncle in the attic.
