Apparently tired of being wrong about current events, Jim Hoft has dredged up a video from the 2008 campaign to attack Obama for saying that his father served in World War II. Here's the shocking video that Hoft claims the “state-run media never followed up on”:
This, like most other things, confused Hoft, who wrote:
That's weird. His 'official father' was a 10 year old Kenyan at the end of WWII. Who's he talking about?
While his father - or his 'official father,' as Hoft calls him -- did not serve in WW2, his grandfather (on his mother's side) served in Europe during the war. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that's who Obama was “talking about.” Though most people would chalk this up to a simple case of Obama misspeaking, conservative bloggers like Hoft thrive on asinine conspiracies, so they need to suggest this is some kind scandal.
