It appears that with each election there is more gotcha for the simple fact that there are more idiots running for office.

This.

I totally agree that these are not simple mistakes. I believe they are a concentrated and organized effort to get the message out there - to plant the "seed" in the brains of the idiots who want to believe that President Obama is a terrorist sympathizer.

Same thing with the amniocentesis or birth control issue or comparing President Obama to Hitler. Like scratchNsniff says, you get that genie out of the bottle, let the gullible RWNJ's take the bait, and then make a half-ass attempt to correct yourself.

They know exactly what they're doing.

Oh and Obama and the rest of his lefties have never used that phrase. That might as well have been his slogan. Ridiculous.

Good for you! In my experience, the fundies had more troubles with their children. I have two ministers in my family. One's southern baptist and the other is some weird denomination that he invented. Guess whose kids ended up on dope? Guess whose daughters had premarital sex and showed up preggo in high school?

Yes, THEIR kids, and all this after they openly criticized my parents, for years, with "reasons" why myself and my siblings were doomed, because my parents weren't bible bangers. Thing is, none of us had kids before marriage and none of us ended up on drugs.

My point is that children who grow up in repressive households are more likely to end up in trouble. It's just an opinion though, so don't get your knickers too twisted.
