I’m sure the messiah backspin on this lie will be as creative as the original.
For the record, five concentration camps were liberated by US troops, Dora Mittlebau, Buchenwald, Flossenburg, Dachau and Mauthausen - all occurred from April to early May 1945.
Hey Obama, MY uncle was with the American forces that liberated Dachau, and for you to use the horrors that these men witnesses for your campaign makes me effin’ SICK.
“He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic.”
Is this his “crazy uncle” Rev. Wright or a different uncle?

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.
After all, he wouldn’t be the first veteran to embellish his service record — that is, of course, unless his nephew is embellishing it for him.
Anyone game to check this out?
(politicians are so dumb! They think nobody can find out about their lies, and that nobody will check. They haven’t heard of the Internet yet, obviously: AlGore hasn’t told them about his invention good enough!)
Any mention of his uncle’s unit? Be interesting to see what experience he really did have in the ETO.
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.
