    Where did the Soros/Socialist IslamoNazi Theory Come From?

    There's a group of rogue wingnuts out there that seem to believe some pretty far-out, ill-informed tripe:

    1. George Soros is the primary backer of Obama's campaign and Obama is reading from Soros's script.

    2. Iran will get their nuclear weapons if Obama is elected

    3. Russians will get more of Eastern Europe

    And the list goes on. These are the same people that don't like McCain, but seem to still believe that Saddam had WMD ferried across the Syrian border.

    I want this Obama/Biden ticket to succeed if for no other reason to prove to these people that nobody's trying to slip them a Marxist enema. And to shut them up for a while.
