David Frum has this one right. That is "paranoid fantasy" at best.

I don't think that the majority of people really think the President is an Indonesian Muslim (although he has ties/roots in both), but I certainly agree that he supports policies that make him look like a thug, and he has had several racist moments--as well as attending the church of a flamboyant racist for many, many years.

It's not beyond the pale to find such characterizations on a blog, which are usually chock full of exaggerations, hyperbole, satire, etc. I've read a LOT more vicious drivel about Bush, Christians and conservatives, and if you ever bother reading the comments under CBSNews articles, you know what I mean. (I'm sure other sites have the same trash.)

I'm just a little surprised that you're presenting that video as if it shows something shocking--as if it's "exposing" something terrible about those in the tea parties. That's the worst you can come up with?

If you're shocked by that, I'd hate to see your reaction after listening to a Michael Savage show.
