Oh dear Lord. Someone on my Facebook is claiming Obama never met the caskets of military KIAs.

Barack Obama meets coffins of soldiers killed in Afghanistan


Thursday 29 October 2009 08.22 EDT First published on Thursday 29 October 2009 08.22 EDT


Barack Obama last night came face to face with the true cost of the war in Afghanistan, as the remains of 18 US soldiers and drug enforcement agents were unloaded from a military aircraft and returned to US soil.

***Edit to add: Someone else called the person out on this, citing to this very article. Her response was that it only happened once at the beginning of his presidency.

1. I just posted that link

2. But I thought Obama and Hillary murdered those people at Benghazi!

Why would they want to.....oh, I see. They didn't want arouse suspicion. Smart on them!

3. Remind them he went to Sandy Hook and met with

the parents of every child who was killed. The meetings were at the High School with to three families in each classroom. He spoke with every family member who was there. I would have been a sobbing mess after the first group.

4. I wouldn't want to even imagine Trump in such a circumstance.

I mean, the guy just oozes warmth and compassion with people.

5. They don't look up what they "know" to be true.

If your relation to them makes it impolitic to call them liars outright, chide them for heedlessly spreading untrue factoids that can be easily checked.

8. Just call them liars, or bald faced liars.

Those people don't respect decorum, they think that is weakness.

[Skittles]

6. they KNOW they can Google the facts

the problem is, they WANT to believe the garbage they hear - THAT'S WHY PROPAGANDA IS SO EFFECTIVE ON THEM....and yes, it is hard to believe there SO MANY OF THEM

11. It was lies by republican George W. Bush that sent them to war and death in the first place.

It was the refusal of republican George W. Bush to act on the dozens of intel warnings that led to 9-11.

13. I thought about it.

It's the ex-wife of a cousin so it's not like I have any real ties to this person.

But I'm just morbidly fascinated at the thought process of these people. Or lack thereof.

14. This is exactly why we can't have nice things.

16. I dumped FB six years ago. It was and is an absolute sewer. Everyone I know who is still

on Facebook argues constantly about politics -- and they argue, and they argue, and they argue...it is totally useless. In my experience, when they weren't arguing they were posting very obvious "boasting" threads about some vacation they took or house they were buying or incredible achievement, etc. It was very tedious, and I barely knew many of them (somebody I talked to a few times in high school isn't worth my energy now) so it was pointless to bother with it all. And the people who are my genuine friends don't use FB anymore either.

19. I've run into this countless times

They just move the goal post to the next lie, and then the next, and another. Until they just decide to call you a snowflake.
