Seems like every time a conspiracy theory about Obama is debunked another pops up in its place. This morning, this one was being share amongst my Teabilliy/Republican friends:
Of course it was debunked right away, but its still making the rounds. Where would a post like this go? I think it would be great to have a section for dispelling “conspiracy theories”?
I notice that the caption is “HR 347 makes protesting a felony”
That darn Obama - blackmailing all those courageous Congress-critters into passing such a bill! It’s all his fault!
And that fucking pantywaisted liberal Nixon signing the original version, makes my blood boil, I tell ya!
That’s the general idea, yes.
Congressional Republicans, no less.
As the saner comments there note, this is a story from March 2012 that was debunked then.
The easy way to see if Facebook glurge is nonsense is to ask one question: is it about Obama? If the answer is yes, the post is certainly false. You can debunk them, reply with links to show what the actual facts are, and it doesn’t matter. We have a segment of society completely insulated from reality. If they see something and it smears Obama, they hit the Share button.
I hope all those people who were threatening Obama in that post got a visit from the Secret Service. What a collection of shitheaded morons
Yes, Max Blood is particularly charming. He preys all the time for Obama to die? Nice Christian he is. Smart too.
A new one already making the rounds of the conservative media, this one posted by Faux News on their website:
Obama wants Marines to wear “girly” hats
…and already debunked by the Marines with their response:
:smack:
Debunked? Did you read the comments there?
It had nothing to do with Obama. From the Marines
I’m pretty sure Exapno was mocking the comment that seemed to imply that the Marines were somehow independent of the government. “Keep your dirty government hands off my Marines.”
Actually, I took a look at the possible new male cover [I was guessing it was the one all the way on the right? ] and I actually prefer it to the old male cover. I don’t think it looks girly, I think the ones that have the exagerated outward swoosh of the top of the hat [it looks like it is at least 2 or so inches wider at the top than at the band] looks stupid. The more cylindrical one looks better.
I didn’t understand that either. The old version looks like a silly hat. The new version looks like an equally silly hat. Neither is masculine or feminine.
I might add that most of the responses to the Marines’ Facebook update are from people we really ought to have around here.
If I have a problem with the Marines’ dress hat, it’s that it completely lacks ostrich plumes, or wings, or at least a nice spike. They look like ice cream men in their current hat.
“Everyone agrees that the Marines are good at what they do. It is known that only private sector, for profit corporations are good at what they do. Therefore, the Marines are a private-sector, for-profit corporation.” [/satire]
All 3 would be awesome.
I miss the good old days - now this is a uniform you can be proud of.
And those are the Secret Police!
Ironically, you always expect the Secret Police…
