Obama Derangement Syndrome: A New Low
Who else, readers, but Michael “Darth” Savage, could find a way to set the bar even lower? I was just on my way home from the grocery store, listening to “The Savage Nation” on FM NewsTalk 104.7, when I heard one of Savage’s looney-tunes callers suggest that “the real reason” Barack Obama’s going to Hawaii is not to visit his ailing grandmother, but to murder his ailing grandmother.
Savage’s reaction? He said, “I hope you’re wrong about that, but I was thinking the same thing.“
Apparently, “Darth” Savage and some others on the looney-tunes fringes of the right wing have a conspiracy theory that Obama’s not really a US citizen, and that his trip to Hawaii is supposed to somehow enable him to deal with this difficulty. Perhaps he’ll get his hands on some crucial evidence and destroy it; maybe there is a cache of fake documents in Hawaii that he’s going to collect; and just maybe he’ll kill his grandmother while he’s there, to prevent her from “telling the truth” about his lack of US citizenship.
Readers, what can you say about this kind of garbage? Every time I think I’ve heard it all, somebody like “Darth” Savage proves me wrong.

That’s guy’s a nut job for sure, but his listeners are already of his mindset, so it’s not as if he’s swaying anyone.
