From the Texas Tribune’s coverage of Tyler, Texas’s birther representative, Leo Berman:
Though the Obama campaign produced a certificate of live birth from Hawaii, Mr. Berman was not swayed. “The latest rumor I hear, and I don’t know if this is true or not,” he said, “is that he’s used about 25 different Social Security numbers.”
Mr. Berman said he got his information from e-mail and online video clips. “YouTubes are infallible,” he said.
I remember watching people get worked up about the fact the first lady (Nancy Reagan) was so into astrology.
Today, we’ve got elected politicians with salaries paid by taxpayers who are treating an information source that contains 160,000 UFO sightings, almost 2,000 Jesus sightings and 291,000 9/11 conspiracy theory videos as “infallible”.
Hooray America!
