Ammunition for latest FB stupidity: Obama’s alleged push for ‘girly hats’

The story is sweeping the Internet: President Barack Obama is trying to emasculate male Marines by making them wear a girly cover with their famed dress uniforms. The only problem? It’s not true.

Big surprise that this is being pushed by Fox and the Post.

For shits and giggles, check out the comments posted here:

I love the ones that call him a Muslim but the one that takes the cake is the woman demanding Congress *veto* him out of office. lol Oh, and several people did helpfully post a link to the Stars & Stripes article, but who would believe such a liberal, commie rag.

Inform that moron that Dan Daly was one of the nation's greatest war heroes, a two-time medal of honor winner, and a guy who, with his eyes blindfolded and one hand tied behind his back, but wearing his "girly hat," could kick the moron's ass seven ways from Sunday.

for my own good - the blogger refers to President Obama as "the First Gay President" - as if that's a bad thing!

Anyhow - he featured this story with a link to the New York Post. The first comment offered several links to sites debunking this story. It didn't make any difference - all the following comments piled on Obama anyways.

It says it right there on his Kenyan birth certificate.
They found it in Benghazi.

OMFG

(Maybe I had better add this in light of what happened earlier)

I think the new ones look better. Either way, it's time for all Marines to wear the same hat.

That's always more manly -- bigger car, bigger gun... However, that one thing is usually smaller in those who insist on bigger and flashier. Am I right, ladies?
