Please, Mr Custer

Just when you thought it couldn't get any stupider:

President Obama's children's book, "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters," hit shelves this week to a bit of unexpected controversy.
At first glance, the 31-page book—which features short profiles and illustrations of American heroes like George Washington and Jackie Robinson—doesn't seem like it could stir up much debate.
But Obama's decision to include Native American leader Sitting Bull didn't go over well with the headline writers at Fox Nation, a Fox News website. Their initial take: "Obama Praises Indian Chief Who Killed U.S. General." (At the time of this writing, the headline has been changed to read: "Obama Praises Indian Chief Who Defeated U.S. General.")

Let me get this straight: Robert E. Lee kills United States soldiers and the cultural conservatives hail him as the heroic leader of a lost cause; Sitting Bull does the same thing and he's now a bad guy, unworthy of admiration.

Naw, those Teabaggers ain't racist...
