The other side has still lost their fucking minds

Last edited Fri Aug 24, 2012, 02:14 AM - Edit history (2)

I was looking for movie gun references on the net, for like Blade Runner and Minority Report, and I fell on some fucking birther conspiracy that I've never heard before.

Apparently some former Marine named ?"Jim “Race Bannon” Bancroft says that he met Barack Obama in Hawaii back in 1980 and he told this guy that he was born in Kenya. Have you heard such a thing? http://www.facebook.com/aznyx7/posts/471595272866223

The Freepers are behind this shit, of course and it's all over the birther circles on the net.

I swear, I can't wait for The President to get reelected so these motherfuckers heads can explode.

for awhile I thought they were just going to drop that line of attack as more of their own said it wasn't working very well around educated people. Then they considered their base of voters and decided to keep it intact and vibrant.

takes the name of a cartoon character from 45 years ago may be a just a tad on the sketchy side. That may be just me, though.

I got nothing to help them out of this darkness. All too soon, thanks to Alex Jones, Ron Paul will deliver a horde of addle headed voters over to Romney.

Pretty lame. Even if he's telling the truth, all it means is that Obama lied or misspoke.

At this point birthers aren't even amusing. Just boring. They need to take a page from the truthers and periodically up the batshit factor to stay interesting. The crazy train needs fuel to keep rolling along.
