I am not in Bush’s political corner but things like this need be nipped in the bud. When confronted with one of these demodummys, slap them down, hard. He should have pointed out she was probably 5 when this happened so she probably got her inferior ideas from some leftist professor. He could then have followed it up with a slap at Hitlery who voted for the war and inquired if she knew that or was just omitting it.
Your premise is right on; need to nip this in the bud. Otherwise, for example, you get lies like “hands up, don’t shoot” being repeated.
