It’s been about two years since TMV has given out one of its Get A Life awards to a person, group of publication but now we will give a chair — actually, let’s make it bigger, let’s give a sofa — to The American Thinker for running an article that is a quintessential example of of a Get A Life recipient.
It seems the website ran a photo “proving” that Barack Obama must be a Muslim because of the way he held up a finger.
Now, many American so tired of knee-jerk partisan lash out politics that tries to negatively define someone might be tempted to offer a different finger to this kind of article. But could this photo now REALLY be proof that Obama is secretly a Muslim? (Implication: he may be somehow a mole, working to undermine the US in the war on terror).
Actually, no, the website No More Mister Nice Blog did a bit of research and discovered that if that photo is proof, then there are lots of photos out there that prove that Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Gov. Scott Walker, Sean Hannity and other conservative heroes and heroines must also be secret Muslims as well.
GO HERE to see the proof NMMNB has unearthed. And if the finger in the air means someone’s a Muslim, then you better include this guy:
It seems like there are more moles than at my parents old house on Tallwood Road in Woodridge.
The way our partisan politics works, I fully expect to get emails saying 1)the photos of the Republicans are doctored 2)the photo of Obama was a secret signal while the photos of the GOPers were photos taken out of context 3)how can your site be called moderate for criticizing conservatives (who are trying to purge the party of moderates) and sticking up for that Kenyan born Muslim (and yes we had an email saying just that).
TMV proudly now takes its Get A Life Award out of storage and presents it to a more than worthy recipient.
