Obama's Uncle

Barack Obama is being accused of lying about the deeds done by his uncle who served in WWII:

...Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz...

CBS News, which published the report of Obama's statements, didn't bother to do any fact checking and clearly has little knowledge of Auschwitz and the liberation thereof. Ace of Spades did the work that the mainstream media just wouldn't do:

Auschwitz of course is in Poland. It was liberated by the Red Army on Jan 27 1945. Poland, on most maps is usually placed to the east of Germany, although we may need to investigate the geography textbooks the Messiah used as a child...

The Allies were wrapping up the battle of the bulge in late January of 1945 -- the Rhine crossings were still well into the future when Auschwitz was liberated. The first, the Remagen railway bridge which was discovered intact, was crossed on March 7 1945.

Of course it goes without saying that the media has thus far failed to call the Messiah on this apparently obviously outrageous lie. Unless Obama's "uncle" was serving in the Red Army, its a pretty safe bet he was many hundreds of miles from Auschwitz on its day of liberation.

The press scrutinizes every tiny detail of every Republican statement. It would be nice if they would do the same for Democrats.
