The problem with believing that Barack Obama is a secret radical pro-sharia totalitarian Islamic Maoist instead of a run-of-the-mill center-left Democrat is that it can lead you to repeat very self-evidently silly stories. (Well, that is not the problem. It is a problem. The problem is more like 'it's stupid and racist.') That is why, when ABC's Jake Taper Tweeted a picture of the flag at the World Trade Center site being put away for the night, according to traditional flag code, various right-wingers interpreted his picture to mean that President Barack Obama demanded the removal of the American flag prior to his appearance at the site, because... he hates America?"
