West Virginia GOP delegate accuses Obama of flashing secret muslim hand signs

Del. Tom Fast of Fayette County, WV

Fayette County House of Delegate member Tom Fast, representing the 32nd district, is standing firm in his belief that the President is a Muslim. Not only does Fast believe the President is a Muslim, but that he also uses Muslim hand signals in photos. Fast is using religion and his Christian beliefs as a means to pass legislation. Delegate Fast believes that the United States was founded on the basis of Christianity, and West Virginia, and the country should once again put Christian values and teachings at the forefront of government.

and the debunk:

In both clips, President Obama can be seen briefly making a quick spontaneous remark to a fellow attendee (who had since passed out of the camera frame) and making a gesture that is clearly one of "pointing" or "finger-wagging" and not a surreptitious "Muslim gang signal." No one else captured in the video can be seen expressing obvious "disapproval" or "contempt" at President Obama's gesture or remark, and if other African leaders can been smiling or reacting with amusement in the video, the most obvious reason is because President Obama said something humorous at that moment.

Also, this guy has a history of being a rightwing asshat:

Despite three weeks of little sleep, Kutil and Hess knew they wanted to adopt TiCasey. “We were in love with her from the get-go,” Hess said. “She was this really special little being.” But it wasn’t up to them. Shortly after she was brought to their home, TiCasey’s court-appointed attorney, Thomas K. Fast, came to make a routine visit. Fast’s behavior struck Kutil and Hess as distressingly unusual. He declined offers to take off his coat or to hold the baby, Kutil says, and, by her clock, left after just seven minutes.

Fast then filed a motion with the circuit court in Fayetteville to order the Department of Health and Human Resources (the D.H.H.R.) to “remove child from physical placement in homosexual home.” The motion described the Kutil-Hess household as “comfortable and physically safe for the infant” where TiCasey “seemed to be doing well.” It then stated that children reared by homosexuals were more likely to be sexually or otherwise abused and to become homosexual themselves.

How can someone at that advanced stage of blithering idiocy even figure out the concept behind toilet paper?
