As President Obama prepares to travel to Denmark to pitch the U.S. bid for the 2016 Olympics, the White House is fighting back against Republicans who are ripping the bid to the bring the games to Chicago.
The White House blog today posts a point by point rebuttal of conservative talk show host Glenn Beck, saying he distorted the facts in an effor tto smear the U.S. Olympics bid.
"Last night," the blog says, "Fox News continued its disregard for the facts in an attempt to smear the Administration's efforts to win the Olympics for the United States.
"In the past, hosting the Olympics has been a source of pride and unity for the country, but once again Fox News' Glenn Beck program has shown that nothing is worthy of respect if it can be used as part of a partisan attack to boost ratings."
Beck is one of many conservatives and Republicans who are tearing into Obama for going to Denmark Friday to make the U.S. pitch or into Chicago as a corrupt and violent city unworthy of the games.
Some folks may think "why waste your time on Beck's lies and half truths?" Well it is like an infection the longer it (lies and half truths) festers without a stong antibody the more damage it does to the body.
