ONE REASON THE FREAKS ARE COMING OUT

Their views are reinforced by major right-wing publications that are basically making shit up. Consider this article in The American Spectator.

Obama the Destroyer



You can figure out the point from the title but what you can't tell is how the whole piece is based on lies like this one:
He [Obama] would stop paying for missile defenses.

This is a LIE. Here's the truth:
Pentagon seeks $1.2 billion cut for missile defense

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon said on Wednesday it was seeking a $1.2 billion funding cut in missile defense spending for fiscal 2010 and set its budget request for the Missile Defense Agency at $7.8 billion.

The cut was lower than the $1.4 billion reduction initially announced by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

Pentagon documents said the program would be restructured to focus on rogue state and theater missile threats. The Pentagon said it would eliminate an increase in ground-based interceptors in Alaska but called for more research and development funding to improve defense against long-range rogue threats.
