I don’t read nutty far right sites or blogs unless someone posts a link to something in particular, but I have seen a bunch of variations of this claim on facebook and the like.
Some claim Obama is gay and has elaborate stories about guys he worked with who claim they made sweet sweet love, ton of various versions of this.
Others claim Michelle is a man in drag, or a pre or post operation transsexual and their daughters are not his/hers biologically. Some of these go into even more offensive detail.
If it weren’t for these nutty detailed theories I’d say it was just random slander(not that it would be worthy of slander even if it was true) pandering to a hateful audience. I can’t remember any claims Bush was gay, or any other president in recent memory.
I think it is pretty progressive America has it’s first black, gay, non-citizen, muslim, antichrist, Kenyan president!
EDIT:I know it is total bullshit BTW so need to refute it. I was curious where this nuttery is coming from, and why Obama.
Hilariously if you type “Michelle Obama is” into a search engine the top suggestions are a man, transgender, etc.
In 2006 David Koch walked past a classroom where the students were watching Menace II Society, overhearing the critical “I’ll suck yo dick!!!” scene. In late 2009 he heard that President Obama had used cocaine in high school. Soon after, he accidentally heard his limo driver through the intercom listening to R. Kelly’s ‘Trapped in the Closet.’ He got an idea. But then his brother said that even Glenn Beck fans might have trouble believing that President Obama was secretly an adulterous little person. So they decided to go with the other thing.
Searching the internet for this has been highly amusing, check out this site which has tons of rock solid(heh heh) evidence of Obama being gay, I mean they have a photo of him giving a guy a fist bump in the oval office! Also amusing is their claim he is a drug addict too.
From what I can tell it all comes from a guy named Larry Sinclair. Back in 2008 he came forward and claimed that then State Senator Obama consumed cocaine and engaged in sexual acts with him in the back of a limo. He appeared to be one nutty guy and not part of a smear conspiracy unless something else came out that I don’t remember.
Yeah, those recurring Rick Perry is Gay rumors are generally quashed by his Democratic opponents. Because we don’t want to demean our gay friends by associating them with that Aggie idiot. (He was a Yell Leader & still occasionally assumes the position.)
This thread is the first I’ve heard about it, so I guess “the deal” is that the people who start the rumor can always depend on plenty of people to circulate it by asking “what’s the deal” about it.
The Larry Sinclair thing was in the news at the time since he was having press conferences and shipping his story around. Not that people took him seriously. I didn’t remember the details till I just googled it but I remembered enough to know that I heard it at the time (for instance didn’t remember the guy’s name).
I think it’s the other way around. But his Islam faith is exactly why he has to hide his homosexuality, it all adds up. Otherwise he could be even more hip and trendy as the first openly gay president as well.
At least with here there is actually some evidence. Such as letters she wrote to another woman with statements such as “I wish I could lie down beside you tonight & take you in my arms.” or “Most clearly I remember your eyes, with a kind of teasing smile in them, and the feeling of that soft spot just north-east of the corner of your mouth against my lips.”
Obama is an effete, weak, limp wristed momma’s boy. And an iron fisted tyrant. So him being gay is just obvious. They probably would’ve called Bill Clinton gay too, but even they have limits to their suspension of disbelief. So they settled for Hillary instead.
The deal is that people are weird and insane and sometimes hateful. The stuff these people say about Michelle Obama also manages to be kind of racist, since I think they see a black woman as unfeminine. In short - the deal is that dumb people are dumb. Film at 11.
