Can we create a catalog of false outrage incidents?
Just out of curiosity, I was wondering how many different examples of "false outrage" that we could name? The population of the list may be greater than we would initially think. I'll start.

1. Obama appointing Czars.

42. Obama should be fighting repeal of DADT every step of the way.
Oh, wait. You want fake outrage for OTHER people.

Ah, gotcha. What an honest motive for a thread.

18. Obama is taking a vacation.
So many iterations of that, it isn't funny. That includes his wife daring to travel anywhere outside of DC. It's sickening. Only Presidents with an "R" after their name are allowed to take a few days off to spend with their families, apparently. And, only First Ladies who are married to a President who has an "R" after his name can move about the country and world free of criticism, it appears.

34. First couple's eating habits.
Bowing to foreign leaders, sending back the bust of Winston Churchill, "too much" golfing, hip hop barbecue, chicagoland, state dinners . . . just too much fake indignation to list.

Republicans and their media establishment are very good at creating anger and then directing it to their own advantage.

When right-wingers feigned outrage because Obama ordered mustard on his cheeseburger instead of ketchup.

44. Obama spent $200 million per day on his trip to India.
With 3000 people in his entourage,dozens of navy ships and thousands of aircraft. How fucking stupid do you have to be to believe that one?
