Holaaaaaa Conspiracy Theorists! Well, someone got loose from Fox News again this week. “Straight” news chick Heather Childers found a really juicy story on one of those right-wing conspiracy websites that she thought Fox views needed to hear about. But, since the story is laughably moronic, she had to play it the Fox News way.
Instead of saying it was interesting or it needed to be investigates she just asked for everyone’s “thoughts” that Obama had threatened to kill Chelsea Clinton if Bill or Hillary told anyone Barack was born in Kenya. Apparently asking for “thoughts’ on Twitter is the equivalent to repeating an internet rumor on air with Fox News’ patented “Some people have said…”
So, here are some other conspiracies and bullshit stories that Fox News anchors want their viewers to hear about, but they can’t actually talk about on air…
@BretBaier: “Story: Barack Obama fathered two black kids.” Thoughts?
@JulieBanderas: “Source: Hillary Clinton pregnant with Vlad Putin’s love child.” Thoughts?
@GretchenCarlson: “NBA star admits Obama likes to move hard left.” Thoughts?
@SteveDoocey: “Reports: Former high ranking Kenyan official: ‘Obama born in Uganda’” Thoughts?
@NeilCavuto: “Wall Street Journal proves conclusively Mitt Romney is barely even Middle Class.” Thoughts?
@AlisynCamerota: “Rick Santorum: ‘Cali universities no longer teach American History’” Thoughts?*
@CarlCameron: “Owner of gay bar in Sheboygan: ‘Obama is gay, he was a regular here!’” Thoughts?
@MonicaCrowley: “Shocker! First Lady Michelle ‘beat the shit out of’ Dennis Kucinich” Thoughts?
@EricBolling: “Sources: Joe Biden to get new hair plugs before the election.” Thoughts?
@LindaChavez: “Story: Obama plans an elite Blacks Only federal police force in second term.” Thoughts?
@JudgeNapolitano: “Sources: Obama wants to expand Supreme Court to 21 members in second term.” Thoughts?
And that’s just the stories they were pushing this morning. Very sincere apologies will be coming tomorrow for their “inappropriate” tweeting of “rumors” but they got the word out.
*Actually, Santorum DID make that claim.

In other news, Wednesday’s “One and Done” episode of I’m With Stupid covered a lot of ground. Jayman talked about his great victory over DiGiorno Pizza, but his frustration with some other Social Media sites. There was a little TMI, and then Matt-Man shared some thoughts on people ordering virtual strangers to “accept” Jesus into their lives. Then short discussions about Mitt Romney’s big(ish) wins on Tuesday and Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino’s motorcycle accident. Then, we launched a few Molotov Mocktails.
All that and so much more so check us out! You’ll be happy you did!

There is no conspiracy theory too lame to be hypothesized by the rabid anti-Obama crowd.
Bu I suppose that might be a perfectly rational way to respond to such an anti-American/un-American/non-American/communist/fascist/Muslim/atheist/non-human like Barry Soetoro...
Monica Crowley could possible be right. I could see it happening. I hope she has video.
But they are "fair and balanced"
Obama is an Islamic terrorist robot sent back in time to destroy our country with soulful flair... thoughts???
My favorite Fox headline was from a few years back:
"OBAMA/BIDEN
OSAMA BIN LADEN:
Coincidence?"
I didn't know what to make of it. Was the implication that it was going to win the Democrats' votes?
Matt-Man: But, their formula does work with a certain segment of society.

Katy Anders: Sometimes they have to make up their own lame conspiracy if they can't find any good ones online.
Jay
Mike: That video would definitely go viral!
Jay
Beth: They totally are!
Jay
Beer: That pretty much covers it.
Jay
Katy Anders: That was a great one. I also loved the "Terrorist Fist Jab" line back in the day too.
Jay
Since when did news become an acceptable interactive editorial? Ugh.

The Beans: Nobody seems to remember, but I think it started when Bill Clinton had Vince Foster murdered. :-)~

I have no idea about this. hahaha
Howard Kurtz on CNN ripped into Heather Childers this morning on his "Reliable Sources" show.
