Keep this in mind:

One Member of Congress is chosen for this award each year.

Oh my God, it`s true...How many hits of LSD did these people take standing with Hellary? What`s next, Michael Moore getting the Congressional medal of honor?

"Now hand me the purple heart while smiling or you will never see your family again!" " Yes Hellary"

It looks like in this case the story is factual - Hillary recieved an award, called the inspirational leadership award from an organization called the Military order of the Purple Heart.

But she didn't get a purple heart. The headline is blantantly false - a lie , in fact.

The first paragraph is a tricky construction leading the reader to believe that this is an outrage - that Hillary nominated herself and received a purple heart without serving in the military while burying a factual quote deep in the story.

This is really bad, dishonest, journalism on the part of NewsMax

I'm just about at the point that I think NewsMax stories should have an (almost certainly not true) warning.
