Tony Perkins, first a hate group leader and now a birther as well?

Just when you thought things couldn't get any more bizarre over at the American Family Association, the organization now seems to be fully adopting AFR radio host Sandy Rios' conspiratorial theories about President Obama being some sort of Communist mole.

Last week, Rios was on "AFA Today" making the claim that "there are tons" of Communists in government and surrounding President Obama in the White House and OneNewsNow was running a column she wrote suggesting that Obama is intentionally weakening America while "handing (the Russians) the tools to reclaim power."

And yesterday Rios was brought on to promote these views once again with Tim Wildmon and the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins on "Today's Issues." After she spun her theory, Perkins piped up to complain that the media was trying to marginalize anyone who raises these sorts of questions about Obama ... just like they do to those who question Obama's birth certificate, which Perkins claimed was a legitimate issue.

This has got to be the biggest endorsement for the birther movement yet.
