What is really scary is not the nutjobs that believe this nonsense, but the ones who don't but still aid in its propagation because they think they can derive political benefit from it if enough people believe it.

Trying to prove Obama was an illegitimate president, that he was not even a bonafide citizen, is still a thriving cottage industry. Socialist, Muslim, Kenyan, college dropout, the stories are not only absurd, some of them are even contradictory. My favorite is the one of how they planted false records of his birth in Hawaii while he was being born in Kenya so that when he was ready to take over the Presidency he would have his alibi ready. It boggles the mind.

But again, what is frightening is not those who accept this, or even those who deliberately generate it, but those who know better but choose to look the other way, who refuse to denounce it or even question it because they hope enough people will believe it to sway a close election. Its right up there with politicians who are not creationists refusing to say so for fear of alienating their fundamentalist allies. It reveals duplicity and treachery of a high order.

You would have thought they would have updated the threat, made them Eye-ranians or Ay-rabs, but no, they are still at war with the Commies. But we can get a bit of an insight into what these patriots are really after, and where they're coming from, by reading between the lines...

"While in post-production, the invading army was changed from Chinese to North Korean in order to maintain access to China's box office."
