I like to read thinkprogress.org every couple of days, but I don't think they're in the same league as wnd or others. They're pretty silly at times extrapolating offenses from statements that I don't think have much merit but they don't manufacture a bunch of insane nonsense like these right wing sites that have become exposed for how much of a joke they are. The sad thing is that there are still a large base that will follow wnd and continue with these nonsenses.
holy crapobama is a dolphin!!!!
The original was Obama sitting behind his desk in the oval office. These guys are gooood.
"There's something fishy about Bush."
Holy Crap. You know what a good poll would be? Take a poll now of the dems who still think 9/11 was done by Bush and 2018 take a poll of repubs who still think Obama is an illegal alien. See how much they change and let the mockery ensue.
Crazy isn't limited by political affiliation, only flavored by it.
Is this a rolyaTy original? I like it
Consistency from day one.I honestly don't know. I do know that if this evolves into something substantial it could amount to a massive black eye for us, which I'd sincerely prefer not to see. I'd just like to see some verification. I also am practical enough to know that I probably never will and that the debate will continue to evolve into more name calling rather than a calling for facts.

I actually think in both that poll and the "birther" polls that there's a sizable group that don't really believe their answers but just want to stick it to the other side's guy. No way to prove that of course.'rolyaTy said:
Roll Call was not the first to do this math. At one time the amounts were closer I believe. And I really just meant similar in terms of degrees of magnitude, since the Right was acting like $2 million was some obscene figure.But please do keep it up. Playing "gotcha" about descriptions of legal fee totals on a message board is definitely helping you folks come across as sane and rational.'TinHat said:
The Gay and Lesbian community might take offense to that as it seems exclusionary
In the same poll 30% of Independent voters and 19% of Republicans responded the same way. Perhaps the baseline for bat#### crazy is 30%, with an addtional ~11.5% that will modify their crazy level based on implied group-think.'rolyaTy said:
Is it good that only 18% of republicans blame the jews?
crazy is the new normal.
Knock that down to 31%. I thought they said The Juice.The idea that "The Jews" started the recession is ridiculous. We all know that
I thought it was when George Bush defaulted on all of those mortgages...
I still don't understand how Alvin Greene won that primary. That might be the most painful interview ever.
That's what they were chosen for.
As has been stated before, there's two different stories here.Story 1: Is the Obama presidency unconstitutional? Questions remains as to whether he was born in this country!
Love posts like this. Important -- really?
Thanks, golddigger.
Just for my own edification, I'd be curious to know if that bc is really layered, and if so, what is that telling us? Any photoshop experts out there actually looked at this and can comment?It would seem to me that BO is just yanking the birther's chain by giving then more ammo if it is in layers.
I'll bet that outstanding places like ITT Tech does, but I don't know for sure.
Tim, you really need to learn how to use qualifiers. I would start by learning how to use the word some.
Daily Kos maybe?
I seem to recall Dan rather promoting a forged document during the W era.I also recall certain left-wing sites comparing Bush to Hitler, or saying he was behind the 9/11 attacks, or that he went in to Iraq as a favor to his oil buddies or because Saddam tried to kill Daddy.'TobiasFunke said:Yeah. Or just more generally, when they've been as transparently insane as the far right is today.So you're asking what conspiracy theory from the left rivals that of this one from the right?What I meant was don't just give me the website name. Tell me about an instance when they've been as divorced from reality as the right-wing nutjobs claiming forgery are today.
Media Matters (even though I know the person who posed the question will disagree)But MoveOn is the worst. I have them in my Facebook newsfeed and I love the unintentional comedy they provide.
Looks like someone is going to crack the top 5.
Honest question. I don't know #### about photoshop.
We did these, or at least some of them.The Rather story was bad journalism by one guy or one network on one story, not thousands of people acting like utter lunatics. it was more like the Hitler diary fraud than this.The 9/11 truthers are from both sides of the aisle, or neither side. It's not a left-wing movement. It's more a fringe "don't trust your government!!! Jesse Ventura type movement.I seriously doubt any web sites actually compared Bush's actions as president to Hitler's reign. They may have engaged in the same hyperbole you hear from lots of people who invoke Hitler for shock value (I see Obama posters with Hitler mustaches every day), but not as part of a serious analysis.The Iraq rationales were the same- simplified or hyperbolic explanations of rational, though probably incorrect, arguments.This feels different to me. Maybe it's just my political leanings, but I don't remember anything rising to this level of insanity from a large chunk of the political fringe.
5 pages of "this is over, please stop posting"1 page of "which side is to blame for keeping the story alive1 page of Pickles rating postersI was out all day. This was put to bed, right? Oh wait....I see 7 pages since yesterday.
Obviously, both of us define insanity relative to our own political positions.
So what is it like to be so delusional? Were you really not in the United States during the Bush years?
It's telling us that it's an optimized PDF and whatever software they used broke the document into distinct sections because some areas can be saved using less bits than others.
I see that.
