And the poster is spot on. Anybody calling the President a Marxist dictator is a fucking idiot.

But then again, there are people on the left who say similar things about Republicans. That's just as stupid, at least repressionally speaking.

Alot of conspiracy theories are just recycled year after year, with different names slapped on them.

Obama's birth certificate is one conspiracy theory. The idea that he will round up conservatives and put them in camps is quite another. You don't hear the latter much in the mainstream because it's even loonier than birtherism.
