World Net Daily’s latest issue with Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president? His MySpace page has his age totally wrong!

Arizona’s “open carry” law means it’s PERFECTLY LEGAL to bring a machine gun to an event featuring the president of the United States. INSANITY.

Hilarious. UPDATE: It appears that for the humor/satire/parody impaired out there, I must point out that the linked site makes fun of the deathers who’ve been out with their Obama=Hitler signs. Literally.

“Anyone watching the mounting rage over, of all things, health care – perhaps one of the most boring and complex policy subjects – has to worry that these people are going to try to kill Barack Obama.
