Silly Season, Silly People

"Republicans appear increasingly to have concluded that poking at the allegation that Obama is a Muslim is less likely to blow up in their faces than they used to think.  This is a tweet from the RNC's new-media director, Todd Herman. UPDATE: Maybe not: The tweet is down, and the RNC says Obama's religion is a non-issue."  Ben Smith, Journo-Lister

First off, Todd Herman's Twitter, "Is Barack Obama among the 20% who think he's Muslim?" was witty, pithy,  and harmless (i am laughing here).  Yesterday I saw that the DNCC (or DNC?) is running campaign videos that blame Bush for everything; that's how desperate they are.  Now this even more pathetic clarion call (MSNBC's Newsvine picked up this non-story) has the Obamaniacs flitting about like cockroaches on a sugar cube.  This was the top listed comment when I was there. “ Can't wait to hear the RNC try to 'splain' this one away Mark! ;0) Republicans don't see any harm by furthering the false Obama-is-a-Muslim story. Just goes to show you... these right wing nitwits will stop at NOTHING with their attempt to regain POWER! Even if it means OUTRIGHT lying! We'll see how many of the right wing 'gofers' here at FR will have the actual b@lls to stand up and say that President Obama is NOT a Muslim! If memory serves me right... there was only (1) out of hundreds who showed the courage! #1 - Tue Aug 24, 2010 3:37 PM EDT ” What are the odds that Keith Olbermann also runs with this *gasp* scandal tonight? Or is he too one of the 20% who think Barry is an Imam?
