The Truth Does Not Matter

Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and other commentators on the left have had a screaming good time pointing to errors Republican politicians have made in criticizing President Obama’s response to the failed Christmas Day terrorist attack on Northwest flight 253 into Detroit.

True, Senator Jim Demint falsely said Obama has downplayed terrorism and doesn’t use the word terrorism any more. Representative Peter Hoekstra, among other things, falsely said the Obama administration used the term “man made disasters” instead of “terrorism;” and Representative Peter King falsely claimed Obama had banned the use of the word “terrorism” and had even failed to mention terrorism during his address to West Point. All of these assertions can, and have been, easily rebutted with numerous video clips showing Obama and Secretary Clinton talking about the threat of terrorism (as an example, here’s his speech at West Point).

And while it is reassuring for Olbermann, Maddow and their ilk to show us the clips that rebut these Republicans buttholes (doe a butthole really need rebutted?), it has no effect on the right-leaning mass of American voters.
