Obama Lies About Holocaust for Political Gain.

Obama’s uncle did what? By see-dubya • May 27, 2008 09:50 AM CBS:

Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.” Purple Avenger, blogging at Ace of Spades:

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. Either Obama’s uncle served in the Red Army, or he’s spinning Clintonesque lies about Auschwitz to sell his government programs. Hey, it’s for a good cause…but it’s not enough for him. It has to be personal. It has to be all about him.

It’s like Bill Clinton whining about those Arkansas church burnings he witnessed as a child–church burnings which never actually happened.

I think the Obamessiah just out Tuzla’d Hillary. The man is…nefarious.

There is no “Uncle”, Kenya didn’t fight, Mom was an only child:

Ann Dunham was born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas[3] while her father was in the military.[4] She was named after her father,[3] who reportedly gave his daughter and only child his name because he had wanted a boy; however, she was referred to as “Ann”

So, as President, Bush had some people stranded in attics for 5 days during Katrina and was all but tried for treason. A Democrat keeps Obama’s Uncle in the attic for 6 months and this is the first we hear about it? /s

Why not? It makes as much sense as America liberating Auschwitz.. :)

From a Chicago Tribune profile of Obama's mother:
The education of Obama the would-be politician didn't begin, of course, until after his birth in 1961, in Honolulu. But the parental traits that would mold him — a contrarian worldview, an initial rejection of organized religion, a questioning nature — were already taking shape years earlier in the nomadic and sometimes tempestuous Dunham family, where the only child was a curious and precocious daughter of a father who wanted a boy so badly that he named her Stanley — after himself.

“I do know that black troops ended up in graves registration so it’s not unlikely that a black soldier would come home in sorry shape. Just not as a liberator of Auschwitz.”

True ... very true. But the grandfather in question is likely the white sheep of the family .. not the grandfather out of Kenya.

It's really a non story. It says nothing about Obama.

"...maybe his bio-dad had a brother in the American Army as part of the Kenyan Expeditionary Force??"

I wish you people would get your history straight. Obama's uncle was originally born as the son of slaves in the 56th state of Alaska, but later became a Tuskegee Airman which is when he liberated Auschwitz, before coming home to march at Selma. It was here he first intimidated Barak's typically white grandma. He later died of AIDS and syphilis as the result of a covert experiment by the US Government.

How Obama's uncle liberated Auschwitz ping, or lying about history for the greater good of your political needs ping.

One senses in this story Obama was going for a double play. Get the vets with his pledge to help those who suffer from war, and get Jewish Americans to see him as a direct descendant of those who liberated the death camps. I thought it was bad when he threw his granny under the bus, but this is especially bad taste.

No more egregious than the rest of his lies frankly. Team Clinton would jump on it except their lies are legendary.

I'm confused. I think it says a great deal about him.

D’oh! The media has got me believing Obama is black. I didn’t think about his white side.

Still, I’d love to know this uncle’s unit.

Rush is all over Barry today about his Memorial Day speech...does he even know the meaning of Memorial Day??? RUSH: If McCain had ever made one of these gaffes, he would have been run out of the race.

“It should be fairly straightforward to ascertain whether Obama’s uncle served in a unit that was ever anywhere near any of these places during the Liberation.

Somehow I doubt it.”

I doubt it too. However, I am convinced the pajamahadeen can uncover the messiah’s relations unit - if it exists as well as his service dates associated with it.
