re: #14 philosophus invidius

Here is a big difference, though: it’s true anyone could fall for a hoax at one time or another, but there’s a huge and influential corner of the internet that seems to be built around floating all kinds of unsubstantiated rumors.

They pursue a Higher Truth: that Obama hates America, that he is out to ruin our country, take away our guns and turn us over to secularist Islamist terrorists who will ban Christianity and force us into FEMA camps for transgender reorientation, forced gay marriage and mandatory abortions.

Anything that furthers that Higher Truth is fair game.
