Attacking The First Fan

Obama is trying to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago by making a personal pitch to the IOC in Copenhagen this week.

Obama will join First Lady Michelle Obama and other administration officials in pitching Chicago to the International Olympic Committee on October 2, spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

No other U.S. president has ever attended an IOC meeting.

Chicago is vying for the Summer Games against Madrid, Spain; Tokyo, Japan; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Leaders from Brazil, Spain and Japan are expected to also make an in-person pitch.

So it's unprecedented, but certainly not out of the ordinary, since other world leaders will be there. But because Obama is doing it, he must be attacked for, well, whatever idiotic reasons the Wingers have now, which according to Malkinvania is "Evil Overlord Obama is silencing dissent from patriotic Chicagoans who hate the international sham that is the Olympics."

No, really. That's the logic. TBogg takes it from here:

It's a slow news day and Drudge is grasping at straws because wingnuts need something to HATE HATE HATE or they can't get out of bed before 11. So today it was the Chicago Olympic Organizing Committee asking the local Fox affiliate to not run a piece detrimental to acquiring the Olympics and THIS IS CENSORSHIP!!! and THE CHICAGO WAY!!! because the organizing committee is in Chicago which is where Obama is from when he's not from Kenya. Also. Jesus is involved. And probably ACORN.

This would not have happened under the Palin Administration.

I swear if Obama Derangement could be harnessed as an energy source, we could power suns with it.
