Latest GOP claim -- patients with macular degeneration must go blind in one eye before getting help with the second eye, because that disease disproportionately affects white people, and Obama hates white people, right?

Again, it's total bullcrap. As the link indicates, this went from an old report about a British case, to a completely uninformed opinion piece, until it magically became "fact" in the wingnut world.
