Drudge canned outrage smear of the day: "OMG! Obama is raising funds off the heat wave!"

Fresh off teaming up with Michael "Savage" Weiner to smear Justice Roberts over his epilepsy, the GOP's online boy wonder is back at with another round of stupidity.

Citing a headline of "Obama campaign fundraising off heat wave?" from the Washington Examiner (owned by rightwing activist bajillionaire Philip Anschutz), Drudge links to this shocking, shocking story:

"President Obama’s campaign has issued increasingly urgent fundraising pleas, and the latest appears to capitalize on the record heat sweeping through the mid-Atlantic and Midwest.

“Keep cool while you’re canvassing this summer,” the Obama campaign tweeted Saturday evening. The message contained a link to a $30 Obama tank top. “Our Vote Obama Tank Top is a stylish and fun way to show your support,” the campaign says.

The campaign was pushing the tank tops as record heat combined with a loss of power following storms to create a humanitarian emergency in several states."




Yes, you just totally know these shirts weren't made months ago, are not the typical type of campaign gear we've seen for decades, and are purely the latest effort in a lib'rul plot by evil Democrats to exploit human misery.
