Chart: Almost Every Obama Conspiracy Theory Ever
Barack Obama’s presidency has been an inspiration to many Americans—especially nutjobs. Ever since the first-black-president-to-be appeared on the national political stage, a cottage industry of conservative conspiracy theorists has churned out bizarro, paranoid, and just plain racist effluvia—some of which has trickled into the political mainstream. Below, we’ve charted some of the Obama-baiters best (i.e. worst) work. (Scroll down for more detailed descriptions of the conspiracy theories in the diagram.)

There are five stages in dealing with butter substitutes:

“I’d give anything for it to be butter!”
“I’m so depressed that it isn’t butter!”
“I’ve accepted that this isn’t butter!”

Long ago I came up with an idea for a product named “Gee, I Can’t Believe Your Hair Smells Like Butter.” I’m not sure what the product would be, but I’ve got the name ready in any event.

In Israel, medical marijuana expands with little controversy, government support
“When push comes to shove, and people see how suffering people are benefitting, I’m sure everyone will get behind it,” said Yuli Edelstein, Israeli Minister of Public Diplomacy, as he toured Israel’s largest marijuana growing farm, Tikun Olam, on Thursday and lauded the facility as an example of Israel’s technological and medical
advancements.
Tikun Olam literally means ‘world repair.’ We’re a wild tribe.

Remember the Huckster telling Christians not to vote for Obama?
Mittens is playing that tune now:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/02/mitt-romney-robocall-christians_n_2068596.html
Mitt Romney Robocall Warns Christians Obama A ‘Threat To Our Religious Freedom’
“Christians who are thinking about voting for Obama should remember what he said about people of faith: “They … cling to guns or religion.” And remember when Obama forced Christian organizations to provide insurance coverage that was contrary to their religious beliefs?
That’s the real Barack Obama. That’s the real threat to our religious freedom. Mitt Romney understands the importance of faith and family. That’s why so many leaders of the Christian community are supporting Romney.
They know we can’t underestimate the threat Barack Obama poses to our faith, our values, our freedom.”
Gail Collins mentions Seamus 60 times: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/03/opinion/collins-the-last-election-list.html?ref=global-home
This has been going on way too long. Stop torturing yourself! Whatever Colorado is going to do, it’ll do it on Tuesday. Clean the basement. Read a novel. Consider purchasing a new pet. If it’s an Irish setter, you can name it Seamus.
5) Forget about the fact that Mitt Romney once drove to Canada with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car.
If he loses, nobody will care. If he wins, we’ll have so many other things to worry about.
I meant ‘cite’ of course.
And I keep forgetting about that check box.
Sometimes I’m just too stupid to breathe I guess.
Will somebody please, for the love of Edesia, please tell me what is the difference between a gyro and a souvlaki?
I guess that should have been more like “for the love of Hestia”.
What’s the difference between a pat on the back, and a kick in the ass?
When a slice of bread lands on the floor, why is it always on the buttered side?
I dunno. Mythbusters screwed up the experiments. They dropped the bread slices from the top of their building instead of the top of a table. Dumbasses.
Maybe another Obama Conspiracy. His “commie/marxist Chicago thugs” closed it down. I bet “Chicago Dave” allowed ketchup on the dog. It’s an anathema.
Knife-buttered bread is no longer flat. Aerodynamics dictates convex (unbuttered) side presents the path of least resistance.
For more interesting results, use some sort of spray on butter. I wouldn’t recommend eating that stuff tho.
Gyro / souvlaki … I guess technically nothing, but gyros are served in sandwich form, whereas souvlaki is not? Other than that, about 4 letters. That’s my experience. Neither should be eaten on Sunday.

Fear Mongering at its Finest
“The Obama you’ve seen for the last four years is nothing like the radical man who will be unleashed for the next four. The first Obama term was just a small taste of things to come. Without having to answer to voters again, Obama will be his REAL radical self. Without restraint, Obama will ignore Congress, and govern by Executive Order. These radical Executive Orders from “Obama unleashed” will change America forever.”
“In a second term, with no voters to answer to, Obama will be free to wreck the American economy just as he was taught by a slew of radical, Marxist, American hating mentors — Barack Obama Sr., Frank Marshall, Saul Alinsky, Professors Cloward & Piven, Bill Ayers, and Reverend Jeremiah Wright. These aren’t liberals. They are publicly avowed radicals and communists.
In Obama’s second term I believe he will unleash economic Armageddon — the total collapse of the U.S. economy and our financial system.”

CDR went on an editing spree to teh WP article “Barack Obama presidential eligibility litigation” last night (17 edits in 7 hours), easily beating Mario’s measly two edits to the same article.
WP readers will now know that Kerchner v. Obama was not filed at some vague namby-pamby time like “January 2009,” but “2:50 a.m. EST on January 20, 2009,” dammit.
By comparison, slacker Orly Taitz didn’t file her suit until “3:27 PM PST,” by which time Obama had already started usurpin’ away.
Serious omission of his CDR-ness thankfully now corrected: “add my military officer rank, which was a legal brought point in the case, i.e., the commissioned officer’s oath to the Constitution”
Sorry, I had the wrong link for “17 edits” above, which left out his removal of the term “conspiracy theories.”

Comment from my friend Ed on Facebook:
500 reasons to vote for Obama and not Romney.
Perhaps a little late now?
No, a potential defendant.
But you see, if Romney wins, they will still delude themselves “he will start impeachment right away”, then “he will start impeachment after taking office in January”, then “he will start impeachment once he’s secured the support of enough members of Congress” etc.
I expect the first “Romney is a traitor” calls no sooner than mid-2013 (if he wins). Until then, they will still believe in their beloved “any day now”.

Charlie Pierce at Esquire:
Election Day: A Light at the End of Our Obstacle Course
it ends with:
For three days now, I have watched people wait for four and five hours just to get the right paperwork to fill out so they can wait another hour or two to cast their ballots. I admire them, but I admire them for themselves. I will not use their stubborn insistence on being heard to absolve the people who have turned the system into a blind and unreasonable obstacle course. No matter who wins today, this election has been a spiritual and a logistical embarrassment, and to borrow the courage and perseverance of these people as testimony to our collective greatness as a democratic people is an outright obscenity. We do not own those things, and we have no right to borrow them. We let all this happen to our country.
Ultimately, though, there is no other answer to the asinine way we have come to elect a president in this country than to revive the creative spirit of self-government by sheer numbers, to build a political commonwealth the old-fashioned way, by having so many people pitch in on the job that the people trying to get us to give up on the process become broken and dispirited and abandon their own work in despair.
Let Rick Scott do his worst. Let your right hand be your referee.

Ted Nugent Calls Obama Voters ‘Pimps, Whores and Welfare Brats’
Count Ted Nugent a sore loser: the vocal conservative rocker went on a disgruntled Twitter tirade after President Barack Obama locked up a second term last night. “Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless supporters hav a president to destroy America,” Nugent wrote in the first of a storm tweets. “So Obama still demands the hardest workers provide for the nonwotkers. Shared opportunities my ass,” he followed, before tweeting, “What subhuman varmint believes others must pay for their obesity booze cellphones birthcontrol abortions & lives.”
Calling Americans “soulless fools,” Nugent lamented the “economic & spiritual suicide” of re-electing Obama. “I cry tears of blood for The Last Best Place & the warriors who died for this tragedy,” he continued. He even went after the Supreme Court, writing, “So 4 SCOTUS idiots dont believe in self defense. Pure evil.” It all harks back to when Nugent was questioned by the Secret Service earlier this year.

Puerto Rico’s voters endorse seeking US statehood but ballot results raise questions
Questions like what will the flag look like?

lol i’ll get my sewing kit out right now
if you remember, mittens said he Would Support Puerto Rico Statehood Bid, Gov. Fortuno Says (8/30)
He pledged that if we ask for statehood on November 6… that he would provide the leadership necessary to complete that process,” Fortuño said, referring to Mitt Romney.
Any change would require approval by the US Congress, but no territory has ever been denied a petition for admission to the States.

Gail Collins is still writing about the dog on the roof:
If all else fails, strap John Boehner to the roof of a car.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/08/opinion/collins-happy-days-even-with-the-cliff.html
I’m super excited about the prospect of Puerto Rican statehood. I really hope they go through with it. While it would be a shame if the number of states and senators were no longer a nice, round number, I’d love to see a new state in my lifetime.
I’ve seen designs for a 51 star flag. It’s still pretty even. 3 rows of 9 and 3 rows of 8 adds up to 51.
Since Congress would have to vote on Puerto Rican statehood and Congress is still controlled by Republicans, it seems unlikely. I somehow don’t see the R’s creating a new state of Hispanic voters.
But, but… Marco Rubio! The Univision spray tan! Clearly, the GOP loves those people!
The avs weren’t always circles, right? I like it; it makes me feel like I’m in the opening credits for a ’60s sitcom.
Apparently the design for flags is at least nominally under the purview of the United States Army Institute of Heraldry.
http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us51star.html
They’d still have to come up with a reason for blocking it that didn’t sound completely stupid. From what I hear, territories applying for statehood are rarely opposed. I know Texas statehood was a huge hot button issue in the early 1840s, but since then it’s usually pretty smooth sailing.
Other things we’ll have to deal with:
♪FIFTY-one NIFTY-hon United States♪
♪From the thirteen original colonies…♪
Have to? I don’t know. This is Congress. It took New Mexico several tries and more than 50 years, largely due to fact that it had a majority Spanish and Native American population
http://www.nmgs.org/artcuar7.htm
My understanding of the recent election in Puerto Rico is that there were several questions regarding statehood on the balllot and there was some variance regarding the votes on the various questions. Also, the pro-statehood Governor was replaced by a pro-association one in the same election. At a minimum, I think there needs to be a clear and ambiguous vote by people of the island. Even with that, I can’t see the Republicans admitting a state where Spanish is an official language, but let’s them prove me wrong.
By the way, I have visited there several times and love it, especially the Rincon area at the Western tip.
I wasn’t aware of this video before. This is the original (I think) presentation that Jerome Corsi made to the Surprise Tea Party in Arizona, that launched the Arpaio circus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goZJDw5vCNM
Well who knows? They’ve spent years fighting a health care reform plan identical to the one they developed in 1993, so I wouldn’t put anything past them.
I dunno. Admission of a new state as controversy seems so 19th century.

A Version Used By Puerto Rico Statehood Movement
Reviewing the terms of the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850, alongside the Confederacy’s dreams of Southern Empire, I would expect the Deep Reds to be overjoyed at the prospect of a new southern state to exploit.
Apologies if everyone but me had already heard this, but I thought this is amusing:
Some time before Billy Graham endorsed Mitt Romney (but after Graham’s son wrote an op-ed saying “Sure, it’s OK to vote for a Mormon!”), his minions went through the Billy Graham Evangelic Association web site and removed six references to Mormonism, most notably this document. (Thanks yet again to the Wayback Machine)
Oddly enough, if you follow the non-archived URL, you’ll see that the page’s title remains: “BGEA: What is a cult?” But instead of content, you get, “Our apologies, but the article you requested doesn’t exist.”
Their explanation:
“We removed the information from the website because we do not wish to participate in a theological debate about something that has become politicized during this campaign.”
You’ll of course note that this is not the same at all as saying, “We removed this because we no longer believe that Mormonism is a cult.”
I wonder how long they’ll wait before they restore the page?

New conspiracy: Petraeus didn’t actually resign. Obama cut a deal with him/fired him so he wouldn’t have to testify about Benghazi.
It’s all over every single political board and news site. This one is going to get some legs, unfortunately.
Sent in an obot seductress to lure him to his own destruction? O the humanity!
I think I need more information on the quid pro quo for this deal.
“Hey David, if you resign in disgrace, in return I’ll… well, I don’t know, really. Say, could you use a nuclear power plant?”
How does his resignation prevent Congress from subpoenaing him if they chose to?
+1 …my point, made more explicitly.
You’d almost think these conspiracy theorists don’t always think it all the way through.
I’m waiting for ‘he did it because he’s a liberal.’
I’ve also already seen what I think was an implication that this somehow ties into the Secret Service agent’s suicide. I don’t visit the Bad/Ugly sites, so I don’t know if that’s actually a common theory already.
More pointedly, he *is* testifying:
“Congress intends to continue to investigate the incident, and Petraeus was expected to testify during a closed-door hearing next week before the Senate Intelligence Committee.”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/09/david-petraeus-resigns-cia-director-affair_n_2103094.html
You don’t have to go to the Bad/Ugly sites. Any news site that accepts comments is full of this malarkey.

10 best & worst educated states and how they voted
http://www.happyplace.com/19076/election-infographic-shows-most-educated-states-voted-for-obama
Nah, what the people are really clamoring for are replicas of your spiffy hat. I hear that its the new “Energy Dome”, 😉
The Give Us Liberty 1776 blog has an article: CHECK IT OUT! … THESE STUPID IGNORANT OBOTS CANCELED YOUR VOTE …
It has a video, mostly of young people waiting in line 2 hours to vote, giving their reasons for why they were supporting Obama. They seemed to have identified real issues that were important to them, not the nut case conspiracy theories of the “votes they canceled.”

This is the 4 or 5th post by this screen name, about overt violence, on her heavily moderated site. What responsiblity does a blog host have when it comes to speech such as this?
One wonders, in her quest for IP addresses, what she may be providing quietly to the Secret Service. I mean, maybe she actually works for the CIA, purposefully acting as a magnet to draw out all the crazies.
Well, I shouldn’t say too much and jeopardize her cover.
I see.
The link under the ‘Features’ tab works fine. It’s the link at the bottom of the page under ‘Quick Reference’ that is broken.

Obamanation 2.0! Time for a new WND poll!
Pretty humorous selections. And predictable results. And, hey, it’s a multiple choice poll! But now, in an effort to further hedge their bets, they require a login to vote. Booooo ….
Oh, and look, they are running a classic still,* proclaiming (yet again) the Death of America. The oft-born rumors of America’s death have been greatly exaggerated. Heck, I thought America was dead once, too; turns out, I was just in Nebraska. 😉
Blerg; went there and didn’t find the poll — is it only presented at all if you’re logged in?
I did, however, harvest an exciting new crop of pop-unders (“Are you SURE you want to leave this page without learning more about Phlogiston 390?”), and saw some great front page ads not labeled as ads, including the wonderful one about building my own home bunker.
But that’s not what I came to talk to you about today.
Folks, I want to tell you that Obama may have stolen — yes, Karl, not “suppressed,” but stolen — this election, thanks to the “dirty trick” of voter-not-ID!
Because, he won every state where voter ID has been implemented! As long as you don’t count Washington, Colorado, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire and Michigan! And WND doesn’t!
So, thanks to voter ID Obama lost in Tennessee and Georgia, which as the article points out, “do not traditionally vote Republican” once you get past the last three presidential elections and most of the ones before that.
(Surprisingly, the article doesn’t mention that in Indiana, one of the two other photo ID states, Obama actually squeaked by McCain in 2008. Not so surprising that they don’t mention Kansas, solidly red since 1968.)
I actually got a comment through moderation over at Orly’s site. I used a different name, intentionally going for one of those stupid, outlandish, patriotic names. So it’s the first comment, by “TrueAmerican1776”.
http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=362379#comments
Er, I meant to say Obama lost every state where voter ID was implemented
Blerg.
Did you hear the one about Obama’s Muslim ring?
So this morning, I see this tweet for a Family Research Council crazy:
Pres. Obama, who wears a ring that says “No god but Allah,” wins the Muslim vote 85-4. Get used to it. http://t.co/…
— @BryanJFischer via web
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/10/1160012/-Did-you-hear-the-one-about-Obama-s-Muslim-ring
Ok, well, now apparently it will be Morell, the acting director, who will be testifying. So, conspiracy proven. That’s that, folks…
Typical logical fallacy of confusing between correlation and causation. Obama would have lost in most of these states anyway but the republicans in charge decided to make it even more likely by suppressing the vote.
Poor people… And their hypothesis is furthermore flawed as the data do not support the claim
Even after they threw out a huge wad of evidence that contradicted their claim.
Voter ID continues to appear to be a solution in search of a problem.
Did Obama not also lose the same ‘Voter ID’ states in 2008?
It’s an EEG in search of a brainwave.
On “Above Top Secret” they are starting to go to work on Rubio:
From member eLPresidente:
Dunno. Works for me.
I see on Orly’s site that Texas and Louisiana want to leave the United States. Fair weather patriots.
To answer my own question …. Obama won Indiana in 2008, lost it in 2012. Indiana is one of four ‘strict’ Voter ID states. The other 3 went red in both elections.
So, is ‘voter ID’ then vindicated?
Nope!
Indiana passed Voter ID in 2005.
Dang wingnuts just can’t win for losing.
EX-cellent.

Not really. A handful of fanatics want to secede. It’s a pretty miniscule proportion of the population.
These calls for secession are just mind boggling. Do they not remember what happened last time states tried to secede?

MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD IN FLORIDA!
It turns out that in St. Lucie County, Florida, “only one precinct had had less than 113% turnout”!!!11!!one!!!
You can actually go to the county elections website ( http://slcelections.com ) and see the results!
Be sure to ignore, as so many nutjob sites have, this note!
But wait — even after the “two page ballot” part was pointed out to them, watchdogwire.com asks the totally valid math question:
In the comments, “Charles Wesley” politely responds:
(h/t to parody Twitter account “@bryanjfischer” for pretending to fall for this one)
Somebody I know who loves Allen West posted that on Facebook this morning. I pointed out him that if you actually counted the number of ballots which were cast, the turnout was 71%, not 142%.
Apparently the second voter card was all proposed amendments and a lot of voters didn’t want to bother with them and only filled out and cast the first one.
The manual recount of early ballots was done this morning. It led to a slight change in the final talley in West’s favor, but not enough to trigger a full recount.

Well, alrighty then.
I guess it’s just my home and business computers that have been affected.
I blame Orly. I get that she’s a hack, but can she actually hack?
Or maybe it’s because I’m in Texas…early secession groundwork?
This is what I get…

That is a lie already. His parents left Cuba in 1956. At the time, Batista and the Us gambling Maffia were still running Cuba.
Of course, all this is good news for John McCain, er, I mean John Hickenlooper.
I can understand Texas ….. but Louisiana?!? What would they do, hook up with Quebec? Or are they trusting Texas to let them be their new dead weight?
Yep.
Its all so depressingly familiar.
I wonder how much the new Republic of Texas would have to pay the Feds for the 3 million acres of land which the Federal Government owns in Texas, including about a half million acres of military bases?

They didn’t pay much in 1861. How did that work out?
It’s the story Rubio himself used to tell, until he was
caughtcorrected last year:Birthers say Marco Rubio is not eligible to be president
http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/national/article1197628.ece
Actually, I go to those forums and egg them on.
That article is one year old.
IMO, the point of the exercise is actually not to ‘attack’ the citizenship of Obama or Rubio. It is to try to establish doubt in the minds of the unthinking about the children born in the United States to illegal immigrants – the anchor baby issue.
‘They’ blow as much smoke as they can possibly can. Two or more kinds of born citizen. Jurisdiction means ‘legal’. Jurisdiction means already a citizen. Vattel is written into the Constitution. Minority opinion in debates over the 1866 Civil Rights Act are more authoritative than the actual 14th Amendment that replaced it. The IRS defines Citizenship law. etc, etc, etc. “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt” is the tool of the propagandist.
Picking on high profile ‘test-cases’ as they come up is much easier than finding an actual target. Once a significant portion of the population has been ‘converted’ they can then focus on anchor babies.
It is the responsibility of those who know better to ensure that ‘they’ do not get away with it.
gorefan: That article is one year old.
does that matter to those who think both parents have to be citizens for their child to be natural born?
the issue re-surfaced when rubio was thought of as a VP candidate
May 24, 2012 Obama, Rubio birthers should read the law
But what about Rubio? …… some do contend that Rubio is not eligible for the presidency. (The eligibility requirement for vice president is the same as president.) “Rubio is, quite simply, not a ‘natural born citizen’ by the accepted legal, English-language standard as it has been known throughout American history,” wrote WorldNetDaily founder and editor Joseph Farah in February. “He was born in Florida to two non-U.S. citizen parents.”
http://washingtonexaminer.com/obama-rubio-birthers-should-read-the-law/article/1312051#.UKD5BoW687A
Not really I was just clearifing, also it needs to be updated since Kerchner now includes Senator Santorum on the pile of candidates who are not natural born citizens.
Maybe it’s better to ask “Do those who think both parents have to be citizens for their child to be natural born” matter? The data from last Tuesday say “No!”.

Educating the Confused – Larry Klayman
Klayman
“That is why God did us a favor this week. He made it crystal clear that We the People must rise up and not rely on a Republican Moses to deliver us from the bondage and slavery Obama and his rising tide of supporters have in store for us. If we do not forcefully but peacefully act now, our freedoms and our republic will soon die and go the way of ancient Greece, Rome and other lost civilizations.”
Actually, He made it clear that his preferred resident of the White House is President Obama. People prayed to God to elect the righteous candidate and He obliged. Why Larry is somehow disagreeing with the Lord’s decisions is beyond me. Do they really think that they know better than the Lord?
Strange…

The fate of WTBC?
After its initial sine wave dive to oblivion, the looming election kept the Corsi’s opus on life support, trolling along at a steady sales rank of ~43,000 for most of 2012.
Now that the climax has come and past, the Drift Boat has run aground. It’s forum is dead, the last few holdout birfers disappearring days before the election (a few came back for defiant gasps, but have scattered once more). For the first time since publication, the forum is off the Most Active list.
Even the fresh material (Petraeus, Seal Team 6 sanctions, fiscal squabbles, election cleanup, secession fad) haven’t teased former diehards like Hermitian out of hiding. He’s gone on to more reliably echo-ey chambers no doubt.
The book has dropped to #63,000, and will continue to dive, until it finds a new bottom.
However, hold fast to your copies, friends. I predict WTBC? will ultimately command a premium price! (Well, depending on how many copies WND really printed 😉 ) Hardcore nuts never forget their passions. Researchers will be looking for copies for future theses. It will, unfortunately, live on as ‘secret knowledge’ to some. A curiosity to others.
The few people that do want, will really want it.
Give it 10-20 years. You may yet see a positive return on birtherism!
I don’t pity the fool who doesn’t secede from his birther family members in time.
I haven’t got all the way through it yet, but from what I’ve read so far that affidavit could be submitted as proof that Mike Zullo is a lying dumb-ass.
[Moved to the Open Thread. Doc]
Off topic, Canadian born rising Canadian-born Texas politician Ted Cruz sees no reason he can’t run for U.S. President. His definition of “natural born citizen” doesn’t include the idea of being born on U.S. soil. I agree with him on that point, “born a citizen” is my interpretation of the phrase.
sheriff joe wants a white house invite to discuss immigration with obama?
i would have an easier time
Arpaio would like to discuss amnesty — along with border security issues — with Obama “man to man” directly at the White House. He would also like to reach out to Hispanic groups he said have misunderstood his intentions and bought into the negative “propaganda” about him.
“I wish the president would invite me to the White House,” Arpaio told Breitbart News. “We’ll have some wine and beer, and light up cigars.”
hmmm i DO AGREE with one thing: Arpaio wants politicians to quit saying they “must secure the border first” before discussing other immigration issues, because he sees those words as code words to punt on issues in the interior that are just as important. “They’ll never secure the border 100 percent,” Arpaio said. “So it’s a cop-out so you don’t do anything in the interior.”
he insists he could have productive discussions with Obama. “I won’t even ask you for your birth certificate,” Arpaio quipped, of Obama.

Death of Key West man linked to Obama’s reelection
By SEAN KINNEY
A Key West man who told his partner that “if Barack gets re-elected, I’m not going to be around” was found dead on Nov. 8, with the words “F— Obama!” scrawled on his will and two empty prescription bottles nearby.
Henry Hamilton, 64, owner of Tropical Tan off Duval Street, was “very upset about the election results,” his partner Michael Cossey told Police Officer Anna Dykes.
Police spokeswoman Alyson Crean said a cause of death is awaiting autopsy results from the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office but said, “There’s absolutely no evidence of foul play.”
According to Dykes’ report, Cossey returned to the South Roosevelt Boulevard condo he shared with Hamilton after a late night of playing cards with friends and fell asleep on the couch around 6 a.m.
A friend of Hamilton had been worried about him and had a standing request to police to make welfare checks. Officer Pablo Rodriguez did just that and when he went to the condo, he woke up Cossey, prompting the discovery of Hamilton’s body in the bedroom.
Dykes reported finding two empty prescription bottles, one for Xanax and one for Seroquel, used to treat anxiety and schizophrenia, respectively.
Cossey told police Hamilton “has been very stressed about his business,” and the last time they had spoken was “when we watched the election results” on Nov. 6.
President Obama, a Democrat, defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney to win a second four-year term.

Top Georgia GOP Lawmakers Host Briefing on Secret Obama Mind-Control Plot
President Obama is using a Cold War-era mind-control technique known as “Delphi” to coerce Americans into accepting his plan for a United Nations-run communist dictatorship in which suburbanites will be forcibly relocated to cities. That’s according to a four-hour briefing delivered to Republican state senators at the Georgia state Capitol last month.
seriously? these people are anti-science when it comes to climate change & evolution but believe in mind control?
http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/11/georgia-senate-gets-52-minute-briefing-united-nations-takeover
In other Obama conspiracy news, Mother Jones has a disturbing article: Top Georgia GOP Lawmakers Host Briefing on Secret Obama Mind-Control Plot. The conspiracy theory is nothing new — Agenda 21, with the US being brought under a UN dictatorship, forced relocation of rural population to cities, mandatory contraception, and, yes, mind control (“a process known as the Delphi technique”). What is remarkable is that the GOP caucus of the Georgia state Senate invited a crazy person to brief them on this. And it included a brief video of Dick Morris endorsing the whole thing. Yes, that Dick Morris.
Hmm. As they say, great minds think alike.

OW! KKKlayman’s hood poked me in the eye!
Still, it was worth reading for the giggles LOL
The way he uses “white people” and “conservatives” interchangeably …. sieg fail!
How about this suggestion … if the wingnut LARP sessions they call “citizen grand juries” want a shred of my attention (note, I did not say ‘respect’), then they have to put forth some effort and throw in some cosplay. Get in the spirit, ye olde bastids!
Thanks. That was a good article you just posted, calling out Klayman for the hate-driven crazy kook that he is. My only criticism of it is that it didn’t delve that much into how his personal religious extremism is coloring his brand of kkkrazy. Make no doubt about it, Klayman is clearly part of what I consider the “American Taliban”.
I also consider folks like him to be a direct deranged product of what the Southern Strategy has done to foul our politics. Speaking of which, an excellent article on that, with the original audio capturing its creator, Lee Atwater, revealing the intended use and disguise of racism and dog-whistles in how he helped to cynically “reshape” the GOP into the hate-based model that dominates it today:

2. An analysis of whether the crazy has reached “Peak Wingnut” status, post-election:
http://simplyleftbehind.blogspot.com/2012/11/nobody-asked-me-but_9.html
I always thought that suburbs WERE cities, just, well, sub-urban cities. So what is the deal with that?
I guess if they are white and not conservative they must be “n” lovers or Jews or or Commies or something else that just doesn’t figure into his reality configuration.

Here is some of them message in the robocall. You can also hear it at the story link:
“Call me, maybe.”
LOL! 😉
Now that would be an irritating robocall!
Except, like all good comedy, Wonkette’s post is quite unfair. The Gallup post never mentions Nate Silver and says nothing negative about people who analyze polls. It just says that if papers stop funding polls, then the poll analyzers will have nothing to analyze.
I did find Gallup’s post a bit hard to understand, as in what motivated him to post this obvious point. My best guess is, they’ve heard a lot of their customers hinting that they can’t afford to fund Gallup in the future. Which would be a shame.
