i’m not particularly sure anybody actually believes this stuff. not as actual facts at any rate.
more likely they just believe obama is bad, liberals are bad, scientists are bad. those “other people” are not to be trusted. it doesn’t matter if the particulars are right so long as those people are being denounced.
i also think people must be getting social “points” for this – some sort of positive reenforcement of the crazy. it definitely lets everybody know what side you are on.
Other people with early onset dementia. The smaller the town, the older the voters. The only reason people over 65 still have the vote is because right wing parties know they are their core supporters. Why, I only have a lawn so I can tell kids to get off it.
Back in the 1970s I had my suits made to order by a local tailor. The conversation was a little different in tone but not in general content. I can’t see anything unreasonable in LBJ’s comments given that he was ordering bespoke, and in reasonable quantities.
If I still lived within walking distance of a bespoke tailor, I’d still have my trousers made to order.

So kind of like how the presidential election is likely to be.
If I were a journalist, I would ask this woman why she knows so much about the availability of young, black cock for sale in the 80’s.
LBJ had a knack for crudely denigrating others. He was quoted as having said about Gerald Ford that “he couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time.” But the press lightened what LBJ had actually said: “he couldn’t fart and chew gum at the same time.”
Florida needs to up their game. Texas is really pushing the envelope here.
I remember a similar story from the UK. Quite recently. Except, you know, for the actually being true part.
Well, I disagree. Perhaps the originators of the various Obama myths are creating those stories as part of a very calculated smear campaign, and don’t actually believe, but they are supplying it to an audience who will believe it to the very core. I have talked to some of them, you can’t reason with them, and they aren’t faking it.
I assume she has first hand experience. (crosspost from www.obamaslashfic.com - I have no idea if this is a real site and I’m not clicking it to find out)
Presumably, though, you wouldn’t belch or refer to your bunghole…?
The first rule of bespoke tailoring is, conversations between you and your tailor are covered by client/attorney privilege.
Or as Schiller said, Against stupidity even the Gods struggle in vain (Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens).
Perhaps the explanation for Texas is that the gods have just given up and gone home.
Who said she was a Mayor of someplace? She’s not, and never has been. She’s running for Board of Education, after a career as a teacher. I’m not saying she’s not an idiot, just that nobody has ever been idiotic enough to elect her Mayor of anyplace.
Run, Fredtal, run! 
You all leave Katniss alone !!
Well, the um… headline? Who do you trust, Rob Beschizza or your lying eyes?
