Videos of Obama chewing bubble gum were doctored

This is the sad state of the right-wing blogosphere.

Team Tyranny has been on fire today with the emergence of 2 videos that purport to show President Obama chewing gum with all his might during a D-Day anniversary event. They painted the Commander-in-Chief as disrespectful.

Not surprisingly, it turns out both videos were doctored, and even an idiot can see it. In both videos, you can see the people in the background repeating their own motions, so it's clear the wingnutosphere just looped the clips over and over.

How babyish of them.

When the fascist Washington Times reported on this "story", at least one commenter called them out, saying, "Is that the video? The 5-6 second video run of him 'chewing', with the woman in the yellow hat who also appears to be chewing or exhibiting a facial tick, has been looped 5 or six times. Are you people really this nuts?" Yes. They are really this nuts.

The 3 remaining users of far-right website Free Republic have boasted of doctoring the video further. One Freeper suggested, "Somebody should photoshop the picture with him blowing a bubble." At least now if a photo emerges of Obama bubbling at the event, we'll know it was a fake too.

Is this what the conservative movement has become? Instead of coming up with fresh ideas or trying to fix their own broken movement, they spend their time trying to figure out how to make fake photos of the President of the United States blowing bubbles with bubble gum. That's their campaign strategy - when they're not swiftboating newly released POW's.
