GOP Bullshit Stories, Vol. LXXVIII
This one has been making the rounds:

Barack Obama is pissing on the graves of America's war dead by not attending the Memorial Day observances at Arlington National Cemetery. According to the Noise Machine, Obama is the only President to ever dishonor our veterans by doing this.

Of course, it's all bullshit.

Ronald Reagan skipped the Arlington ceremonies four times.

George H. W. Bush never attended at all.

You know who did attend every year? Bill Clinton.

President Obama is attending Memorial Day observances at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in his home state of Illinois, and Vice President Biden is laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns.

2. I posted this to get the Snopes link out
Sitting back and sniffing condescendingly doesn't help fight the smears.
