Columnist: Michelle Obama Was Born a Man, President ‘Spent 4th of July at a Mosque’...

[one_voice]

Renew America columnist Reverend Austin Miles apparently cited facts from the National Report, a satirical Onion-like fake news outlet, in his recent piece asserting that Michelle Obama was born a man and her husband spent the Fourth of July in a mosque.

“The best 4th of July celebration of all was the one held on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol,” Miles writes. “And how good it was to see shared patriotism, something we need more of. While America was watching this tribute to our country, Obama, according to news reports, spent his 4th of July at a Mosque and invited Muslims to be with him at the White House.”

Those news reports? Straight from the satirical National Report.

Later in his piece, he writes, “What did Joan Rivers mean when she called Obama Gay and Michelle Trans on national TV?” he asks. “Actually that idea has been bandied about for some time. There will no doubt be more to come. It is interesting to Google the name, Michael LaVaughn Robinson, who was born in Chicago along with Michelle Obama.”

1. Please tell me all of this was from a satirical site!

Can these people possibly be crazier?

2. Cool

I knows this is untrue but nothing wrong with transgenders.

3. I think it is a trick for the Obama's

to say something about transgenders that make them look bad

5. Possible

I just fail to see what the big deal is about a person being gay, transgender, what have you. We all share this planet and have to deal with the same things in life so why make it harder on certain groups? People need to grow up and realize there are many more important issues than who the hell someone sleeps with.

7. I agree

My mother wanted me to be a boy..her first child was a girl

I actually vacillated between boyish and girlish..

And when I dress in frilly clothes I feel like a gay man?? Why is that?

4. I was encouraged to explore this notion just last week

by a close friend, who is not stupid.
While I do believe the "theory" is absurd there seems to be many willing to embrace and repeat it (not surprising in today's America).
However, it is nice to read that there is a genesis story for the current meme, "The name Michael LaVaughn Robinson comes from a prank meme started years ago, jokingly asserting that Michelle was born a man.", the seed from which the current story grows.
At least that makes some sense.

6. Why Do They Keep Doing This?

Rethugs keep spouting all sorts of lies and nonsense trying to make Democrats and liberals look bad. Didn't they outgrow that kind of thing after junior high school?

8. Renew America is the bottom of the barrel for the right wing

It's where nutters sacked from the Christian Post for lying end up: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/01/09/lying-reverend-gets-fired-from-the-christian-post/
