He claimed he was in Europe during WW2 shooting footage of liberated death camps, when in reality he never left the US making Signal Corps propaganda films. In speeches he spun plots lifted directly from old movies like they were reality and people ate it up. But heaven forbid a DEMOCRAT misspeaks on such subjects. People tried to pounce on Obama when he said his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz (actually it was Buchenwald, and a great-uncle, but clearly such outrageous lies make him unfit to lead). Hillary got it for her "sniper fire in Bosnia" gaffe, but admittedly that was the fellow Dems as much as the GOP. And don't even get me started on Kerry and Gore. Also, the D&D crowd hearts Ron Paul. Duh. Oh, it’s been A-OK for Republicans to embellish war tales since Reagan.
