Right-wing pundit falls for joke about the Obamas...

How stupid can right-wingers get?

Renew America Pundit Falls For Joke Reports Claiming Michelle Obama Is A Transgender Woman, Barack Obama Attending Mosque

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 7/10/2014 12:50 pm

Rev. Austin Miles, the Renew America columnist who last claimed that President Obama will soon round up conservatives, is out with a column today which begins by stating that the president "spent his 4th of July at a Mosque and invited Muslims to be with him at the White House."

Miles must be getting his news from the National Report, a satirical, fake "news" outlet similar to The Onion. Their Fourth of July-themed article, like other fake stories from the website, has gone viral among Obama-haters.

Miles then goes on to suggest First Lady Michelle Obama was actually born "Michael LaVaughn Robinson," a claim that is also sourced back to an article that is clearly a joke. Apparently, the First Lady was also a linebacker for the Oregon State Beavers.

and then I come across a right winger who claims mandatory implantation of RFID chips is in the ACA. Read it, you will see!!


That all started on a satire site so long ago. These people will believe anything, no wonder scammers are never short of victims.

One time when I even showed proof that it was satire the lady said, I shit you not..... They get it from somewhere so it has to be true.
