UPDATE: ONE OF MY COMMENTERS CONFIRMED THAT ChrisTwire.org IS INDEED SATIRE! THANK DARWIN!
But because so many on the extreme religious right have accused the president so often of ridiculous thing (he's not American, he's not a real Christian, he's gay, his wife is a tranny, etc. etc.), this website seemed to fit in with their fevered fantasies about Mr. Obama.
Yesterday, one of P.E.'s commenters, "Ducky's Here" mentioned this, but I thought he was kidding.
Then I found this on the intertubes:
Obama is Infecting Christians with Ebola To Destroy Jesus and Start A New Age of Liberal Darkness
I'd never heard of "ChrisTwire.org so I wasn't sure whether or not it is a real organization or a parody.
I hope it is a parody because if it's real and people truly buy into this sort of paranoid swill, we're a doomed nation.

Must be a slow news day that you use a never heard of rag quoting something so ridiculous no one would believe it.
To think that a president who has accomplished nothing in six years can infect people with something other than hate. Get real.

You obviously didn't link to the page. ChrisTwire.org has thousands of followers. Even if it had only 10, that would be a national disgrace. But thousands?
skudrunner: "To think that a president who has accomplished nothing in six years..."
Same old bullpuckey written by someone who wouldn't give President Obama any credit for anything he accomplished because, well, we all know why, skud.
skudrunner: "...can infect people with something other than hate."
If you can come here and give us hard evidence and actual quotes by Mr. Obama where he's inspired hatred in the American people, we'll believe you. But I'm guessing that what you've written comes from a deep and bottomless pit of actual hatred, not an imagined one, because at the very least I have your own words written here to prove it.
Bitterness and anger are very unattractive loads to carry on one's shoulders, bro.
you let that skud leave his anti-Obama rants here all the time. he says obama accomplished nothing and ignores that the Rethuglicans conspired on the night he was elected to obstruct anything he tried to do. that skud doesn't remember that congress passes legislation not the president. congress to this day still obstructs the president's appointees. skud is the hater spreading hatred, not Mr. Obama.
shaw, ChrisTwire is satire. I just checked.
most asuredly it is a satrical site,as most asuredly Skud's rejoiner mimics satire rather than ration discourse.
When reality becomes absurd, 'fuck it and punt the ball', Moab Diechleer.
It is a satire. As noted Here , "Not the readership — which hit a high of 27 million page views in August — but the content, the opinions and the fake authors who write the stuff. It was a favorite of ultra
fundies, probably still is.
the topic, though, begs the larger issue; that the news as presented,especially Fox, has become such a parody of itself that it begins to reek of satire well before anyone can reasonably discern it to be a joke. The joke then is repeated until it has lost all sense of humor.
I think it is the reason we elect clowns instead of thinking humans.
it's no wonder shaw wasn't sure if it was a spoof or real because this is what the TeaGoPers write on their blogs.
"I don’t have any problems with Obama being a Bisexual, Kenyan born Muslim, what I am against is the fact that he is a inept, failed unAmerican, anti-American, Progressive, lying president, and his "You didn't build that" mentality and attitude."
