The last four years have brought the craziest and most far out conspiracy theories in my life time and I've been voting since Nixon.
Let's list a few. There is a lot of entertainment value in these "theories". Many make me chuckle and some cause me to laugh out loud to the point of tears. And I wonder, who could possibly believe this stuff, then I realize.......
He was born in Kenya but his mother knew he was going to be president so she telegramed the Hawaii papers to get fake evidence to be used 45 years in the future that said he was born here.
Why I laugh: She was so sure he would be president, she named him Barrack Hussein, a name everyone can relate to and would want to vote for.
Obama took a trip costing $200,000,000.00 a day and used half the Navy as an escort.
Why I laugh: No one could possibly believe that, except, it seems that just about everyone on the right did.
Obama ended the "work requirement" for welfare enacted under Clinton.
Why I laugh: First, it was Republican governors that asked Obama for a work requirement waiver if they could come up with a plan to get more people on welfare - jobs. Second, most Republicans who have never been on welfare don't believe there is a work requirement. Republicans on this board prove that. So what was Mitt talking about?
Obama is going to declare "Martial Law" and take over the country.
Why I laugh: Because it's funny.
We got Bin Laden because of Mitt Romney or Bush torture.
Why I laugh: Mitt Romney? Hilarious. Bush torture? Bush said he didn't care about Bin Laden, didn't think about him. Abolished the agency dedicated to finding Bin Laden. Republicans say it was a "ruse" or he didn't mean it, which would mean he was lying. Point that out and Republicans say, "All politicians lie" about everything. Well, perhaps you shouldn't vote for them?
Obama is a Muslim.
Why I laugh: Because his wife is Christian, his kids are raised Christian, he spent the majority of his life going to Christian churches. And, it seems most of his family was atheist, yet he "found Christ". Something right wingers hope for everyone in the world, except for just that one man.
No one remembers Obama from Columbia College.
Why I laugh: Because of stories written by people that knew him there, including his roommate and all the pictures. Especially the ones with the almost "Angela Davis" hair.
Obama funneled guns to the Taliban for the CIA when he was a student.
Why I laugh: I'm guessing this is part of the reason the right believes he funneled guns to Mexico, because he did it before. I don't know what else to say. Both are too stupid for words.
Barack Obama said the troops "whine" and that "Nobody made these guys go to war."
Why I laugh: Because that statement came from humorist John Semmens, who writes satire on the news. Get it? "SATIRE". I once linked to satire on what right wingers believe about the Constitution that came out of the Onion. It was "satire". A "joke". And yet, right wingers on this site insist I used the Onion as a "news source". At first I laughed it off thinking they were "joking" with me, but now I know, they weren't joking. And they believe Obama said this about the troops. There is so much they believe.
So what are some of the other conspiracies I missed. I really do like humor.
