"US to honour Indian rape victim as woman of courage" -- right-wing spin

Here'a a non-right-wing version of the story.

http://en-maktoob.news.yahoo.com/us-honour-indian-rape-victim-woman-courage-040034328.html

The right-wing spin on this is that John Kerry and Michelle Obama are honoring a woman who cheered 9/11, is a big fan of Hitler, and it probably won't be long until the stories are saying she drinks the blood of Christian babies.

I don't want to link to any of that garbage -- it's easy enough to find it if you Google "kerry obama honor woman courage". What I've found is either right-wing dreck, or the plain story, but I haven't found any debunking.

I'm guessing it's all BS, since I automatically distrust anything the likes of Michelle Malkin rant about, but it would be nice to have some debunking if the right-wing spin isn't true.
