The fact that I did not believe one of the most obvious lies of this administration makes me closed-minded now? Essentially what's happening is that I was RIGHT, and you're scrambling to come up with a way to criticize me for it. How absurd.
Your quip about "where I get my views from" is just as stupid. I heard about the incident, and BHO's false explanation, off of a standard mainstream news report. I "got my views" from my own analysis of the information. Hard as it may be for you to believe, not everyone needs their news sources to coach them on their political views. Some things, like the falsity of the video explanation, are obvious without even much thought, much less a need for someone leading me to that conclusion.
It just really shows how far you have to grasp at straws to have an argument about this subject. If you're going to try to paint my skepticism of anything this administration says as closed-mindedness, you could at least pick a subject I wasn't unquestionably right about.
