A wartime commander-in-chief, no less.

Genuinely outraged by President Obama’s styrofoam cup salute to U.S. Marines? Many are and rightly so. The White House posted a video of it to its Instagram account. Did they “manufacture” these gut reactions to the video?

Citizens are honestly upset and enraged by the contemptuous action. But you must be wrong! According to our Smarter Than You media and Beltway betters, y’all are just wingnutty nuts with wings, rubes.

Deranged. And silly.

They are deranged and hate filled. RT @CapehartJ: The silly way Obama made the right mad — again. http://t.co/VwUEFY3AEC

How dare you be passionate in an unapproved manner?!
@snarkandboobs You're not allowed to tweet about the not allowed lectures.

How dare you not submit to The One and his optics-hating?
Could have more to do with the fact that the photo was posted by the WH.

24 hours later, I'm still stunned the White House would post Obama's "Latte Salute." Why? http://t.co/1RonfIPU2P pic.twitter.com/3m3SQ7igvW

Seriously.
And then came New Republic’s Brian Beutler who wasn’t content to just ridicule Conservatives; He had to diminish and demean service members as well.

The pitiful “but Bush” spin was swiftly quashed last night. But he had more.

The things @brianbeutler doesn't know about military courtesy and tradition could fill the Library of Congress.

Obviously, the #LatteSalute isn't going to alter my vote. But holy God, liberal media, you are begging for it. http://t.co/eofQU6ERYt

Unreal.
Funny, this “silly” matter seems to be taking up a lot of liberal media’s time.
In addition to claims that "deranged" conservatives are obsessing over the latte salute, MSNBC and ABC sure have spent a lot of time on it.

Gee, we wonder why?

Ding, ding, ding! Deranged? Trite? No, the problem for the liberal media and those who fancy themselves Smarter Than You is that Conservatives can now fight back and go on offense. Hard. They can quash false narratives and pitiful spin attempts (like the absurd attempt at a Bush comparison) immediately. Libs wanted to screech “But Bush” and have people cower and shut up.
Not anymore. Your control? Lost.
Speaking of driving narratives, Dems should be running scared from this now too:
Oh, gosh. I want to mail Beutler's piece to every service member and veteran with a big "Democrats think" on it: http://t.co/eofQU6ERYt
— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) September 24, 2014
Yes, sir.
A question for the oh-so-wise ones:
Hey @BrianBeutler, if #LatteSalute is totes fine, how much you want to bet Obama will never salute with something in his hand again?
— RBe (@RBPundit) September 24, 2014
Bingo.
And then there’s this:

Amen. Can you see 2016 from your contempt-filled bubble, media? We can.
