Most insane, over-the-top political claims you've ever heard? |
|
They can be conspiracy theories, statements about Obama/Clinton, or just nonsensical statements in general. Here are some of mine:
Obama's father is Malcolm X Bill Clinton's BJ directly caused 9/11 Videogames caused the Beltway sniper attacks because the snipers said "I am God" and some games have a "God mode" Bush is the second coming of Christ Obama is the Antichrist

Think about it. Would Jesus wipe his hands off on the back of the one who caused 9/11? Especially when the hands that touched him were "dirty"?? No??? I think that Jesus would have washed the man with the "dirty" hands feet!!

3. I remember bush1 saying we'd be up to our necks in spotted owls, and out of work for every American |
|
if Clinton, with his environmental-wacko running-mate, won.
That's up there.
The death panel thing.
Sheesh, anything Michelle Bachman or Michelle Maulkin or Ann Coulter has ever said...

25. You can find news stories |
|
on any subject depicting an incident supporting your side of an issue every single day.
The fact is the violent crime numbers that include violent gun crime has been on the decline overall in recent years.

9. "The greatest communicator"...??? |
|
I never understood anything he said. I would try really hard & think to myself, "I'm pretty intelligent... why don't I understand what he's saying?"
It always sounded like gobbledygook to me...

Glenn Beck's God triangle! Priceless.
Socialists intend on pushing social justice by using the religious people because they have so many morals....and that's why the healthcare bill was passed.:eyes:
To be honest...I'm not exactly sure how that went.
All I got from that was Socialists take advantage of those who believe in God and have high morals to push their evil agenda to ruin America...
:rofl:

13. Glad I'm not the only one to encounter that insane "Obama is Malcolm's love child" shite. |
|
Edited on Thu Apr-01-10 05:21 AM by BlueIris
I've seen two web pages claiming that. One appears to be built around this insane premise. It was...surreal.
Some of the Crazy Tales I've encountered:
Bill Clinton intentionally let Osama escape in order to create 9/11 and therefore screw over Bush's presidency.
Hillary Clinton killed Benazir Bhutto.
Obama was born in France (actual statement made!)

34. That Bill Clinton murdered hundreds of people. |
|
Someone sent me an email way back then with a list of people who had been killed by Bill Clinton and I was just floored by the outright nuttery. This was during the time that that old asswipe Falwell was peddling his videotape about the evils of Bill Clinton. Man, he was practically frothing at the mouth in his hatred of all things Clinton.

36. I asked an anti-choicer once if she thought the women who got abortions enjoyed getting them? |
|
Because that is what she was insinuating to me.
She answered in the affirmative.
Conversation over.
