Obama Falsely Claims Audience Booed Gay Soldier at Fundraiser

Obama Falsely Claims Audience Booed Gay Soldier at Fundraiser:

Even after it was thoroughly debunked, Obama mentioned it anyway to drum up dollars at his ritzy $35,800 per plate Facebook fundraiser tonight.

Jake Tapper and Ed Henry live-Tweeted the speech

... An individual, via those in attendance, hollered at the health care story and the audience rebuked them. Two men booed the gotcha question posed by a gay soldier and they were so strongly rebuked for booing that the audience’s hisses and shushes overpowered the volume of the rude men’s outburst.

I’d say that the President “grossly misstated” the true nature of these incidents, but that would be inaccurate. It was a lie to willfully misstate that the actions of a couple of individuals were instead from the entire audience.

In the meantime, this same President, so eager to condemn conservatives for what two individuals did (do we know if they’re even conservatives?) was silent when 500 men from guest of honor Trumka’s group stormed a port, took hostages, and damaged property (don’t forget, Trumka sat with the First Lady at Obama’s jobs address that same night).
