Some things are true even if Michelle Malkin says them. If she said the sun rose in the east you wouldn't say it didn't happen merely because someone you disagree with politically said so.

actually, I suggested that if pan thinks Obama is a "fucking idiot"..he should prove it with something beyond "gaffes" that every candidate makes during a course of a campaign (misstating the current location of a speech, misstating numbers, etc).
Such gaffes are commonplace and far different than intentionally misleading the voters:
Clinton: "I remember landing under sniper fire....(in Bosnia)"
McCain: "You can walk the streets of Baghdad safely...." (while wearing body armour and surrounded by troops and blackhawk helicopters....his proof that the surge was working.)
loquitor....do you think any reasonable person would conclude that Obama was referring to the 57 states in the OIC (because he is secretly a muslim) as Malkin/Limbaugh inferred when he misstated the number of states he had visited?
I would suggest the Malkin (Limbaugh, et al) puts out crap like that "57 states in the OIC" inference (or the Rachel Ray wearing a keffiyeh in ad ad) for one purpose...to feed the ignorance and/or prejudice of their readers/viewers, who jump all over it (including pan, who initially posted the "57 muslim states", before wisely deleting it.)
