Dumb lists

How can "death panels" not be the #1 dumbest Republican conspiracy? Oh, because Bachmann trumps Palin for pure crazy. Got it.

Probably my favorite is the coin deal - a decision during Bush's tenure, which I suspect Bush had absolutely nothing to do with, is derided by the right as an outrage because Obama somehow is at fault.

Most bizarre is their claim that Obama is a Muslim - because, of course, that necessarily means he's somehow part of a terrorist sleeper cell. This was going on at the same time they were attributing nasty sound bites from his long-time pastor to him. To their credit, their "base" didn't seem to notice the conflicting lies.

Frankly, I think it must have been a difficult to whittle down the Republican wingnut list to just 12.

Dumbest quotes of the 2000s. Once you eliminate the celebrities, guess which side of the political spectrum is massively over-represented?

Speaking of dumb...

Really, fox? The word "allegedly" is so big that it's inappropriate for the President of the United States to use it? Here's some actual news for you - some of us really do want a President that has some intelligence and can effectively articulate his thoughts.

Speaking of dumb, guess which party things this statement is logical?

I want the President to fail, so I opposed his attempts to help the country. Those attempts were a failure, so he's a failure. But they actually succeeded, which is why I deserve all of the credit for them.

Of course, expectations of a political party are pretty low when they decide that this is a more pressing issue than ending wars, fixing the economy, creating jobs, improving healthcare or re-installing safeguards against the next financial collapse:
