Note the thinly veiled racism behind each of these conspiracy theories.

I hear that Trump is shopping for a new wife in Eastern Europe. He has asked Putin to help him with this. Also, many people have told me he has the beginning of Alzheimer’s. He can’t remember from one day to the next what he said the day before.

If only one could – after years of peddling a race-) conspiracy theory– walk up to a lectern, declare Obama was born in America in a few breaths and walk away without consequences.

Sorry, Donald Trump, that is not how it works.

Unfortunately with the media’s short attention span now focused on explosions in Chelsea, that may be exactly how it works.

This conspiracy-mongering reminds me of the Nixon administration.It is called a mind fu*k.
If you say something three times publicly it will remain a fact in some folks mind for ever.

I think my personal favorite in this batch of tinfoil hat stuff is, “Obama isn’t smart enough to get into Columbia and Harvard.”

  1. Obama attended Punahou School in Hawaii. It takes one of two things to get into Punahou: money or lots and lots of smarts. Obama’s family didn’t have money.

  2. President Obama attended Occidental College in L.A. for a year before moving to Columbia. Occidental and Columbia have an understanding for exchange years.

  3. Barack Obama was President of the Harvard Law Review in 1990. He was a law student at Harvard. Knuckleheads do not get elected to edit the Harvard Law Review.

  4. President Obama taught Constitutional Law at U of Chicago’s Law School. Chicago would not hire him without the J.D. from Harvard.

On the other hand, Dishonest Don is an (unwelcome?) alumnus of Penn. He transferred to Penn from a NYC school (Fordham, I think, but I don’t care enough to look it up) after Fred Drumpf made a yuuuge donation to Penn. It has ever been thus: University administrators and lawyers are better test subjects than white rats and prostitutes. There are some things white rats and hookers just won’t do for money.

That’s EXACTLY how it works, because that’s how it’s worked since he announced his campaign.

But if is how it works, lie rinse and repeat lie. This is what in the 20th - 21st century is called building your voter base. Today’s Republican party has used the fringe for their claxon call of bigotry for years. What’s sad is that the some of the base know this and don’t care and some believe in the Gospel of White is Right.

“Just the place for a Snark!” the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
“Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.”
Lewis Carroll: The Hunting of the Snark, Fit the First. (Emphasis added.)

What’s the racism behind the Scalia one? Anti-Italian? :slight_smile:

That Obama (the black President) has his “enemies” murdered. That was the bottom line rumor/lie.

There is no truth in the mouth of a liar.

This man is the ultimate progenitor of what I like to call The Hive Lie.

Other hive liars include Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, Sarah Palin, Betsy McCaughey, etc., etc.
