The morans got fooled by the spoof Birth Certificate.
They immediately embrace some lone wingnut blogger who O’Reilly’s her way into Ayers’s face, and he blows her off with some snark.
The MSM picks up Breitbart’s ACORN non-story.
At what point do BJers start doing Spoof Activism?

@James K. Polk, Esq.:
It’s the latter. All they have to do is believe. It explains a lot when it comes to republicans, conservatives and the right in general. It’s like some fucked up version of peter pan and where “clap louder” comes from. If you do believe and clap loud enough the tinkerbell du-jour will come back to life and all of your wildest dreams will come true.

NOW THEY HAVE PROOF! NOBODY CAN QUESTION THIS!
On one hand, this is absolutely brilliant. On the other, we will certainly hear about this on Beck, Hannity, and perhaps even on Lou Dobbs. Or at least those of you who watch those shows so the rest of us don’t have to will hear about it.

I thought this comment at Will’s Examiner link (in the Sullivan thread) summed it up pretty perfectly:
I don’t think his heart skipped a beat when she said was a conservative blogger. I think it was more like one of those moments when you find money on the sidewalk.

I’ev said this a lot in the past – conservatives are the easiest people to con. All you have to do is call yourself a conservative and your word is gold to them. Likewise your word is also gold if you tell them what they want to hear, which is sunshine blown up their collective recta.

The Onion has had it pegged for a decade.
Who can forget THIS classic from January, 2001?
Bush swore to do “everything in [his] power” to undo the damage wrought by Clinton’s two terms in office, including selling off the national parks to developers, going into massive debt to develop expensive and impractical weapons technologies, and passing sweeping budget cuts that drive the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the street.
During the 40-minute speech, Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years.
This should have been our hint that we were entering a period of unspoofability.
Bubblegum Tate
So Poe’s Law obviously needs a corollary that deals with wingnuts instead of fundies*. The question then becomes: What is the name of this corollary?
*I know that wingnuts and fundies are frequently one and the same, but Poe’s Law deals specifically with religious stuff, and I’m proposing that we need one that deals specifically with political stuff.

Given that Ayers’ book was published six years after the one he supposedly ghost-wrote for Obama, clearly the pertinent question here is where Obama is hiding his time machine and how we can all get one.

This is the guy who proved that fascism is ‘liberal’. I thought originally that the ‘Liberal Fascism’ thing was kind of clever– if liberals are the real fascists, then the warmongers and racists on the right are just regular people. But now I see the light. He’s just very, veeeery, veeeeeeery dumb.

I don’t know why, but this made me think of the momentary Freeper rejection of Red/Blue in favor of calling themselves the Rainbow party. They were seriously pissed when someone told them what all those rainbow bumper stickers really mean.

And I have one in which both Bob Marley AND Eric Clapton cop to killing a sheriff, but oddly enough, not the deputy.
I also have another recording in which a San Francisco musical combo urges killing an entire class of people, to wit, “the poor”. But the GOP seems cool with that.

If you want a good laugh go read Althouse’s take on this–Ayer’s is being too clever by half. He’s hiding the truth right there in plain site–because he did write the book. Heh and indeedy also.

Given this level of stupid, I fully expect the result will be Goldberg, et al., claiming, “Well, if it turns out that Ayers didn’t write it, that’s not to say that Obama didn’t plagiarize Ayers.”

@Calouste:
I think it works incredibly well as a snarky response to wingnuts and “conservatives” who fall for transparently obvious satire and openingly mocking rhetoric. Very similar to how they believe that deep down inside–at Truthiness HQ–Colbert actually means all those whacky things silly liberals laugh about.
It also dovetails quite nicely with yesterday’s creation of “the “McNaughton.”

Yes, but did Obama go for the classic HG Wells model or the more up-to-date Tardis type? I think a DeLorean is out since they’re much harder to find these days, but if someone should happen to see one parked in front of the White House …
How can we get some of these brilliant investigators of the right wing to report on this vital story? Malkin is already experienced at peering into people’s windows — I’m sure she could get the scoop for us.

By the way, I think the title of this post is a clear frontrunner from “Best Thread Title of October”. If not all of 2009.

I honestly wonder what it would take to embarrass these halfwits. If Goldberg weren’t such an asshole I’d feel sorry for him.
WereBear
@Dr. Squid: True.
That’s because DFH’s use “concepts,” which fit together and lead to other concepts.
Conservatives use “realms.” There’s areas that are okay, like whatever your minister or Glenn Beck says. This lets them avoid “thinking,” which would only make the discrepancies in their head bump together and make their veins swell.

This sounds like pretty good news for John McCain.

Yesterday USA Today chose to run an article entitled “In Defense of Glenn Beck”, by none other than Jonah Goldberg. Do they actually pay the guy for this shit?

I e-mailed Ayers to see if he could shed any light on the story. His response:
“You’ve all lost your minds,” he wrote. “Best of luck in the twilight zone.”
I’m really beginning to like this Ayers guy. Stupid is mostly painful, but occasionally its hilarious.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Did she then carve a backward’s ‘B’ into her cheek as proof that Bill Ayers and/or his minions tried to stop her from posting the TRUTH!

Oh, man, I’d absolutely love it if everyone on Fox ran like mad with this. It’d be wonderful. It gives me visions of Shep Smith resigning on air, announcing he could no longer be part of the Fox travesty, and the other networks collecting a mother lode of video clips to air and make fun of.

This was over at Free Republic yesterday. I just assumed it was somebody’s fantasy written down while they were waiting for their delayed flight. But this blogger actually thinks she’s some conservative Nancy Drew who cleverly got the truth out of Ayers?

She asked him if he actually wrote the book the President authored. Her question had nothing whatsoever to do with Ayres in particular. Nothing.
None of this has anything to do with the people you’re pursuing in airports, or filming secretly, or otherwise stalking.

When I looked up Friends of Dorothy, I clicked this site:
http://wapedia.mobi/en/Friend_of_Dorothy
And speaking of gullibility (or something), it also says:
“In the early 1980s, the Naval Investigative Service was investigating homosexuality in the Chicago area. Agents discovered that gay men sometimes referred to themselves as “friends of Dorothy.” Unaware of the historical meaning of the term, the NIS believed that a woman named Dorothy was at the center of a massive ring of homosexual military personnel. The NIS launched an enormous hunt for Dorothy, hoping to find her and convince her to reveal the names of gay servicemembers.” [6]

These people … it would be hilarious, if they didn’t control the mainstream corporate media in America and basically still control Congress (not to mention my state’s legislature).
I mean, they don’t know what the Rainbow Party means, they don’t understand why everyone snickers at them for being “teabaggers,” and then they bring out fisting, which is either about Communism or, well, fisting.
Clearly, they lack the pop culture gene. Among others.
