But that's exactly what the Right's done, building him into some kind of hero - overlooking his contradictions and dishonesty and overall ignorance - in order "to serve some political agenda". Turnabout's fair play.
I could care less about this really, but it cracks me up to watch the politicians who were all about this dude now painfully try to distance themselves as the myth they built comes crashing down to reality. It's Joe the Plumber (or Sarah Palin even) all over again.
