Spencer Ackerman is in rare form in this post:
During President Obama’s Cairo trip earlier this month, the press corps finally uncovered the truth about President Obama: by saying “shukran” — the Arabic word for “thanks” — to an Arabic-speaking audience, he secretly converted to Islam. Today the story gets even curiouser.P.S. For those of you who might have missed the subtext, the above post was snark.German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited the White House today. And by the White House Communications Office’s own admission (!), this is how Obama began his joint appearance with Merkel. Remember, I’m not making this up. It’s from the official transcript:
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Willkommen.Like I said, I am not making this up. Barack Obama has now converted to German. Just like Andy McCarthy promised, his totalitarian-liberal instincts preordained this moment. Obama’s both a Nazi and a Muslim, an unstoppable Islamofascist Voltron. Destroy this mad brute!

It’s amazing to me that Mitt Romney brings up France as a scary comparison point to himself so often when he spent years there and speaks the language. It’s such a minor point, but telling. Of all the people running for president, Mitt Romney has to be the most aware that the rightwing caricature of ... (0 comments)Mother Teresa Doesn't Deserve Sainthood
Case in point. It’s amazing how all the famous/respected Catholic figures from the 1990s have turned out to be incredibly corrupt, isn’t it? I’m sure they’re somehow connected.

Yes I did, but it’s not to far from what you find on AOL.
it's funny. the wingnuts have gone so completely insane that now its hard to tell the parody from the true insanity

I feel used….

my subtlety claims another victim! ;-)
