Lyin' about Obama: Rick Santorum Plays Along with Bogus 'Obama Is a Muslim' Charge

Remember when conservatives embraced things like facts?

Believe it or not, there was a time when right-wingers made rational arguments based on real-world facts. A few still do, but the overheated world of wingnut radio and television (That's you, Rush. And you too, Sean.) no actual facts are necessary. The truth is whatever you want it to be.

Which brings us to a Rich Santorum town hall meeting in Florida today where a woman stood up and declared that President Obama is "an avowed Muslim" and not legally the president at all. Naturally, some in the crowd applauded. Whoo!

And what's Santorum's response to this bit of delusional baloney? In a phrase, a big Santorum fail. Brave ole Rick failed to challenge or correct the woman's statements.

By now, we've come to expect a certain amount of nuttiness on the Right. But Santorum is not delusional and he's not a nutcase. He is, however, playing ball with the Republicans who are.
