He has also claimed that his grandfather helped liberate Auschwitz. Of course, it was the Red Army that liberated Auschwitz, but who cares about that?
Did you ever stop to think that his grandpappy was in the Russian (Red) army? I mean, it makes sense considering Berry’s Marxist tendencies.
his uncle.........
Obama’s comments yesterday, at a town hall in New Mexico, that his uncle had helped liberate concentration camps, and was among the “first American troops” at Auschwitz. The blogs and the Republican National Committee have hit Obama hard, criticizing him for not knowing his history — that the Soviets, not the Americans, liberated Auschwitz.
His grandfather was Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili (more commonly known as Josef Stalin).
Can you imagine the media outcry if this claim were made by Sarah Palin?
No double standard here.
“He has also claimed that his grandfather helped liberate Auschwitz. Of course, it was the Red Army that liberated Auschwitz, but who cares about that?”
In fairness he didn’t claim that of his grandfather, he claimed it of his great uncle who did in fact help to liberate a camp, just not Auschwitz.
