Serious question about the right's charges of Obama treason

Where do they get the idea that he has committed treason? Is it just a bunch of conspiracy loons running away with themselves, or has the president taken actions that the right points to and says "treason!"

I don't get it.

...President Obama is all evil. No need for any facts or actual crimes, the fact he breathes and is sitting in the White House is sufficient grounds for their orgasmic impeachment fantasy. It's like Christmas to the great unhinged...the ultimate present that they dream about every day and night. Sad fact is that the rushpublicans could probably bring charges and ram them through the Judiciary committee and House (no real charges needed...see the Clinton inquisition) and probably have the votes to impeach, but there's no way this farce goes anywhere in the Senate. It's a wet dream that the wingnuts will scream for more and more often as they see their grips on power and reality slip away...

"Almost since Obama took office, the US has aided terrorist groups financially, with arms, and militarily as was the case in Libya. Since the bombing campaign in Libya to overthrow the Gaddafi regime, this Administration helped destroy the Mubarak regime in Egypt and replace it with the Muslim Brotherhood. As we have seen this year, the Egyptian people didn't appreciate this and demanded their American backed radical Islamic government be replaced.

Obama demand that Libya's Gaddafi and Egypt's Mubarak be replaced by radical Islamic governments only helped to destabilize an area already constantly in chaos. President Obama has been helping terrorist organizations acquire the governments in many countries throughout N. Africa, the Mid-East, and Indonesia since taking office."

So basically they are grasping at the straws of Washington's usual business and spinning it very, very hard. The article also actually criticizes the patriot act and the NDAA! ...as tools of a socialist dictatorship.

It's the fevered dreams of people that know something is terribly wrong, but have no idea what it is... but it probably has something to do with dark people and socialists. Whatever boogeymen they've been hearing about from their parents, who fell for the same crap.

I mean, they've pretty much be charging treason since his first day in office.

I'm not sure what this week's special is.
