An anti-Obama ad appearing on DU says that NewYork has the largest mosque in the U.S. and it

harbors "terrorists" like the Boston bombers, and Obama holds it up as a model

Of corse I didn't click on it, but do they really believe that folks on DU would look at that bullshit?

We DO occasionally mention Republicans by name & use other political terms, so the 'bot places the ad among politically engaged people. The poor 'bot can't tell whether or not we're trying to praise Jeb or bury him, after all.

Buy a star & that crap will disappear.
