Surprise fast food strike planned in St. Louis

8. The question of

"who made it up" was far from irrelevant to those who thought it was Obama's brain child.

Yeah, the rah-rah flag-sucking rhetoric was pretty overwhelming - the endless TV coverage of Loyalty Day parades in cities and small towns across the country, everyone prancing around in Loyalty Day tee-shirts, drunks vomiting in the streets after imbibing too many of the traditional Loyalty Day drinks at the local bars, horn-honking cars festooned with Loyalty Day banners, etc.

Except none of that happened. In fact, most people didn't know there was such a thing as "Loyalty Day", until some posters-with-an-agenda thought it was something they could pillory Obama over - the facts of the matter be damned - and immediately switched to Plan B (we can still blame Obama for observing Loyalty Day, despite the fact that his predecessors observed it in the same way for decades) rather than admit they got it wrong in the first place.

All in all, it was a great day on DU. The I'll believe ANYTHING if I can blame Obama for it folks outed themselves with great success - and, as per usual, refused to acknowledge that facts should stand in the way of coming to totally wrong conclusions.

It was a Massive Fail - and pretending it was anything other than a Massive Fail is even more amusing than the original blunder.
