Despite frequent assertions from the right that he is an incompetent, inexperienced, failure, he has somehow managed to lure Fox News and innumerable Republican politicians and pundits into his web of deceit, reducing them to nothing more than his unwitting lackeys.<\/p>\n<p>The talk about whether or not Barack Obama is a citizen of the United States with a valid birth certificate to prove it has accelerated in recent days. Fox News anchors and guests are ratcheting up the speculation as to his eligibility to serve as president. The Birther Brigade, led by conspiratorialists at WorldNetDaily, believe that they are on a crusade to rescue America from an evil, dark-skinned, interloper, but now another leader of the white-wing suspects something <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/donald-trump-oreilly-karl-rove-video-2011-3\" target=\"_blank\">even more insidious<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Karl Rove:<\/strong> Barack Obama wants Republicans to fall into this trap because he knows it discredits us with the vast majority of the American people when they do.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. All the talk of Obama&#8217;s birth certificate is part of an over-arching plot to bring down the Republican Party. And with the vast majority of that talk emanating from Republicans you can see the danger inherent in this brilliant scheme. Obama has GOP candidates, Fox News analysts, and much of the Tea Party effectively doing his bidding as they sabotage their own agenda. Just last night on the Bill O&#8217;Reilly program Donald Trump escalated his Birther rhetoric:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;People have birth certificates. He [Obama] doesn&#8217;t have a birth certificate. He may have one but there&#8217;s something on that, maybe religion, maybe it says he is a Muslim.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Who knew that Republican presidential candidates could so easily be suckered into phony White House plots? Who knew that the president Rush Limbaugh refers to as a <em>&#8220;man-child&#8221;<\/em> (a synonym for <em>&#8220;boy&#8221;<\/em>) could execute such a sophisticated strategy to destroy his enemies? And who knew that so many supposedly intelligent, conservative, patriots would succumb to his scheme?<\/p>\n<p>Who knew? Only the omnipotent Obama. And maybe George Soros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Kenyan, socialist, terrorist sympathizing, tele-prompted President is apparently also a devious, evil mastermind.
