Via James Taranto, the folks in Findlay, Ohio, are none too happy with the Washington Post story on the false anti-Obama rumors allegedly infesting their fair city:
The Washington Post did a hit job on Findlay in its Monday edition. The story, "In Flag City USA, False Obama Rumors Are Flying," holds up this city and in particular, a few older residents of College Street, as prototypes of the sort of ultra-conservative, racist ignorance that Sen. Barack Obama is sadly forced to battle in his quest for the White House.The Post article by Eli Saslow shows the local people he interviewed as white, working-class, flag-waving patriotic, xenophobic - and utterly opposed to change.
With any luck, the Post will alienate voters in every swing state by November.
