Latest Obama conspiracy theory being pushed by Fox News:

[Skjellyfetti]

Obama had secret brain surgery.

He has been plagued with questions and doubts concerning his background throughout his first term as President.

Questions like - is Barack Obama actually American? Is he a Muslim? Is he actually an alien from another planet? - have frequently been asked.

The next question circulating on the internet - has President Obama had brain surgery?

Internet blog sites, conspiracy theorists and forums are awash with rumours as to what those mystery scars on the president's head are from.

In pictures, Obama appears to have a long scar which goes up the side of his head and over his crown.

Some conspiracy theorists claim they are scars that you would see on someone who has had brain surgery.

Donald Trump did that while looking for Barry's birth certificate.

The Russians implanted a secret control electrode in his brain when he was being raised at a secret KGB orphanage in Kazakhstan. Contrary to popular belief, Obama is actually from Central Asia, the Kenya story is just a cover.

I wouldn't call that "being pushed by Fox News." I'd call it "being mentioned." There's a mention of something that's out there at places such as the Daily Mail.

It's official. Jelly is more extreme than JSO.

I don't know...I don't think a "news organization" should even mention things that aren't backed up by fact, unless they're editorializing. It's a theory shared by lots of people, but it's a yes or no fact that as far as we know isn't true so it shouldn't be reported. I think Hilary has a penis. I have this theory, others share it....that doesn't mean it is news

it's just completely lacking in any integrity...

"some people say..." which is a fox way of saying "our producer suggested that..."

See my hillary comment. I think Hillary has a penis because she is really ballsy. others agree with me. Just because people believe this does not mean it is true or news-worthy

I think Sarah Palin's "granddaughter" is actually hers, and the father is Vladimir Putin.

You're both confusing Fox with a news channel.

One, you're lying, two, are they really "pushing" this story as the Lib rags would have you believe? Do you really think Jelly picked this up by reading Fox News, or do you think perhaps he picked it up reading a Liberal blog?

Fox Nation has come up with a lot of ludicrous attacks on President Obama, targeting Obama's religion and citizenship. But they may be hard-pressed to top this one. Fox Nation is hyping a story addressing alleged scars on Obama's head linking him to some kind of brain surgery.

The Fox Nation piece links to an article in The Daily Mail, a British tabloid. Although the "scar" claim is backed by zero evidence, and the marks in question look like Obama may just be having a bad hair day, Fox still decides to encourage the absurd story.

The next question circulating on the internet...

Internet blog sites, conspiracy theorists and forums are awash with rumors...

Some conspiracy theorists claim...
Yes, just because FOX reported on the latest conspiracy theories circulating the internet, they are really pushing this brain surgery rumor.

If anything, AJ, once your eyes hit the, "Is he actually an alien from another planet? - have frequently been asked." line even the most peanut brained left wing wacko knuckledragger would have to admit that if anything, this was an article mocking these rumors.

You don't always have to listen to those voices inside your head, or believe everything Media Matters tells you to believe.

[Ivytalk]

Naw. His do-rag was too tight.

[Wedgebuster]

Well if he ain't really that good at basketball, and he ain't. And if he really ain't into rap, and he ain't. And if he really doesn't prefer white women, and he don't. Then is he really black? I really don't think so.

now that this post is online - how long before fox runs a story - "Is Obama Really Black?" Recently, a hot new rumor has been going around the internet that the 44th President may in fact not be black. Other variations on the rumor are that he is an "oreo" almost entirely stemming from his large collection of Michael Buble albums...

At least there is a discussion regarding the man having a brain...
The last guy clearly didn't have one to even chat about

So should anybody report that some people don't think Obama has a Hawaii birth certificate? The little Fox blurb linked refers to "conspiracy theorists" thinking something. To me, in typical practice, saying that "conspiracy theorists" think something is not exacty endorsing the idea.

Michelle Malkin has a funny take:

A couple of years ago I might have thought the alleged scar was a zipper that George Soros used to climb in and out of his Obama suit, but now that Gitmo’s still open, wars are ongoing, there are secret prisons in Afghanistan and the Patriot Act as well as 2001 tax cuts have been extended and deals with Republicans are being made, Obama’s rapidly diminishing base is theorizing it’s a zipper George Bush uses to climb in and out of his Obama suit.

I agree with Malkin. I need to go to take a shower.
