Our current crop of "Republicans" operate in a fact-free environment, David- those few left with brains are too gutless to condemn the loonies in the party. Perhaps this sort of thing should be expected from demagopgues to whom winning elections by pandering to peoples' paranoia and ignorance is standard operating procedure.

But what's more disturbing are the numbers of presumably intelligent human beings who BELIEVE this bullshit in the face of conclusive evidence that it IS bullshit.

God Help America.
