Conservatives have vivid imaginations regarding black people

their thoughts are filled with all sorts of lurid fantasies...

Wonkette calls attention to this elaborate fiction about Obama's mother-in-law practicing Santeria, which is currently the #1 blog at Townhall.com...

This is how it happened. Marian Robinson became increasingly frustrated as her husband, Fraser Robinson, was hobbled by multiple sclerosis in the late 1980s. The family pastor prayed with her and counseled her, but �she turned to Santeria in a desperate hope,� Michelle�s friend said. �Michelle put her foot down when she heard that her mother took her dad to ceremonies where they did spells and trances, and sacrificed animals, chickens and goats I think. But Marian was desperate and kept going anyway, even when her husband was to sick to go with her. I don�t think the president knew anything about this earlier because it was before they met. Michelle and Craig (her brother) wanted to close the book on this and never talked about it again after their father died in 1991.�

Her mom believes in animal sacrifice, secretive rituals and demon powers? Psh, that�s nothing. My mom believes in an all-seeing zombie Jew born from a virgin with magic powers.

:applause: :rofl: :applause:

Edited to add: I'll stop complaining about Nancy Reagan's astrologer if the wingnuts will stop claiming Marian Robinson is a Santeria.

4. Santeria may seem exotic to some, but it is practiced by

many people. I can believe that Mrs. Robinson may practice Santeria. What I can't believe is that President Obama would be upset about it.

Spells and trances? You should hear a friend of mine describe the Charismatic service the pastor at our Catholic Church leads every Thursday.

5. Oh really?

So what else is new? I'm originally from Louisiana where casting spells and trances, and sacrificing animals (preferably chickens and goats) rank right up there with readin', writin', and 'rithmetic (naughting and double naughting).

Please do try to keep up with the rest of us Mrs. Robinson.

6. Welcome to the world outside your narrow field of view, conservatives

It's about time you learned there are other ways of looking at the world.

Now, concentrate on that birth certificate!
