Obama, Democrats suing to block military voting in Ohio? [font color=red]Update: No[/font]

blather, blather, blather

Breitbart’s Mike Flynn and these military groups assume that the lawsuits intend to restrict access to the military to the Friday deadline, the same as everyone else in Ohio.

Update:

So no, they aren’t trying to block military members from getting to the polls, but arguing that since the polls will be open anyway, everyone else should have access to them as well. A couple of commenters think this will be a “logistical nightmare,” but the logistics aren’t really that scaleable. Having the polls open for a few would be the same as having them open for many. There may need to be few more election judges, but those positions are voluntary anyway.

Next.

1. Wha??? They're bitching about access to polls being published FOR EVERYONE instead of JUST military?

Republicans REALLY are HATE -full.

2. To his credit, Ed Morrissey corrected that rumor.

The Romney camp is the one who started the meme - that the suit was about Obama trying to disenfranchise military voters. Morrissey just called bullshit on it once he dug in a little further and found out what it was really about.

3. Romney is spreading this lie today on his Facebook page.

He's in biiiig trouble if even HotAir is saying it's bullshit!

This could be the Romney lie that really backfires on him. Stay tuned.

4. This very thing about HotAir is one of the reasons I will go there every now and again.

They can be just as infuriating as anyone, but stuff like this shows that they are calling it like they see it. Honesty in politics is welcome to me, whatever your political positions.

5. I thought it was Michelle Malkin's site.

Which surprised me - as she doesn't have that much character. This 'correction' is making the rounds this afternoon - and I give them credit for nipping it in the bud - from their chief cook and bottle washer, no less.

What a stupid rumor to start. Commander in Chief suing to disenfranchise the military vote? You gotta be a special shade of stupid to believe that in the first place.

6. They do hang with her.

Michelle's site is her name, though -- no space, dot com. I only go there to get bloody boiling. From Hot Air I can generally get a hit of actual political analysis, enough to keep sorting through the malarkey and bullroar.

And yes, this rumor is insane. Mitt grasping at it like a drowning man doesn't make me angry at him as much as pity him a little. Only a little.

And then I saw conservatives using Gabby Douglas' Kellogg's deal to attack the President, and I went right back to bloody boiling again. These people, I swear.
