Chuck Fraud fact checks President Obama on use of bayonets

[fried eggs]

In a new display of fail, Chuck Fraud fact checks a comment that Obama did not make:

Actually, Mr. President, Marines still use bayonets
As NBC’s Chuck Todd reports, while it’s true that the U.S. military doesn’t count on bayonets as much as it did a century ago, the weapon is still “actively used” by the U.S. Marines, according to their web site, noting that the rifle attachment as a “weapon of choice when shots can’t be fired.”

When did President Obama say they are no longer used? I must have missed that part.

1. Exact quote: "We have fewer horses and bayonets"

Not none. Fewer.

I've heard this talking point going around. Apparently Fox News "fact checked" the president on this one last night. Very lame that Chuck Todd picked it up.

17. +1000

2. If it's Tuesday

Chuck is wrong again.

[spanone]

3. hey chuckles, he said fewer.....

[ProSense]

4. Wow, these

clowns are really in the tank for Mitt. It's becoming pathetic.

[randome]

8. No, Todd just wants to be noticed.

He's a sad boy when no one pays attention to him.

[Spazito]

14. No, he lies, he's a perfect match for his buddies, Romney/Ryan n/t

5. Someone needs to fact check Schmuck Toad

Schmuck is so quick to carry Rmoney's coat that he might as well call himself "the help".

[Barack_America]

6. That's right, fact check the President's joke, rather than Romney's lack of military knowledge.

I think we should start a daily "Media Idiot of the Day" thread to highlight shit like this.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

15. that just reminded me of one of the great websites

Media Whores Online, I truly miss that one

[MjolnirTime]

7. Obama said nothing about their use. He just noted that we needed alot more of them in 1916.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. I don't think President Obama claimed they weren't in use. He said there were fewer of them.

[OldDem2012]

10. Hey, Chuckie....in today's modern combat scenarios, how often are bayonets used in combat?....

Chuckie, it's good to know how to use one just in case, but you never want to get close enough to an enemy to have to use it. You would know that if you had ever served in the military.

[John2]

11. Yeah

The pundits are at full force trying to save Romney. Todd is wrong on North Carolina. The GOTV is at full force in North Carolina. Romney is behind in actual votes by 21 percent. You can't call a state for Romney when he is playing catchup on some assumption white conservative Democrats are the people voting in Early voting. The turn out is heavier than 2008.

Another thing is President Obama was correct on what Romney said about Detroit. He was against Government bailout money. He wanted them to go Bankrupt and the Government guarantee them money even if they fail. Does this sound familiar? He wanted a Bain Deal for them. So the factcheker for MSNBC can take a hike.

12. How many Iraq / Afghanistan casualties have been by bayonet, Chuck?

What a massive dumbass...

[lonestarnot]

13. Chuckie Toad, the devil look alike wannabe, is a waste of time and money and breath.

[Spazito]

16. It seems Mr. Todd's understanding of the English language....

matches his interpretation of the numbers. Fewer = None; Obama ahead = a tie.

[PuppyBismark]

18. The President said FEWER horses and bayonets, not no horses & bayonets

It seems the that understanding English and listening are not capabilities of the right wing. President Obama never said we have no horses and bayonets, just less, as we have less naval ships.

Perhaps one of the teachers the RW laid off could come back and teach these idiots to read and understand English, but I doubt it.

[yellowcanine]

19. Wow, you know Obama really scored if they are stooping to this bs.

Losers backing a losing candidate......

[WinkyDink]

20. And THIS, people, is the BEST they can do!! (Does Chuckie fact-check Mitt?)

[NightWatcher]

21. this is what the rw is hanging everything on this morning

See see here's a bayonet, neener neener.

FEWER ya bunch of schmucks, FEWER
