Jamie Foser, Media Matters: Who’s behind the right’s base closure smear? — The right-wing media are accusing the Obama administration of playing politics with national security.

But by using a trumped-up allegation peddled by a discredited former McCain aide to smear the White House, Obama’s critics are guilty of the politicization of the military they claim to denounce.

The conservatives allege that, in order to secure Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson’s support for health care reform, the White House has threatened to close an Air Force base in Nebraska unless he falls in line.

The allegation is impossible to believe, though right-wing media figures have — with varying degrees of success — pretended to do so.
