Inhofe: There aren’t any ‘normal people’ in Washington.
During the 2008 campaign, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin famously remarked that “small towns” represent “the real America” where people are “pro-America.” Last month, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) suggested that “MoveOn.org people” are not “real people.” Following in their footsteps, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) told a local radio station in Oklahoma today that he looks forward to getting back to the state because there aren’t any “normal people” in Washington:
INHOFE: Well I was in town last week there, in Okmulgee, and I’ll be back this weekend to Oklahoma and look forward to visiting with the normal people that I find in Oklahoma because there aren’t any here in Washington.

Once again, conservatives see Muslim conspiracy in an administration logo.
Earlier this year, conservatives developed a conspiracy theory in which the Obama administration manipulated the redesign of the Missile Defense Agency to incorporate the Islamic crescent as part of a “submission to Shariah by President Obama and his team.” In fact, as Richard Lehner of the Missile Defense Agency told Fox News, the logo “was used prior to the 2008 election.” Now, the right-wing has worked itself into a fit over another Obama administration logo, this time claiming that the logo for Obama’s Nuclear Security Summit has the “kind of crescent moon you see on the flags of Muslim countries,” in the words of the New York Post’s Michael Goodwin. Goodwin’s argument has been echoed in the conservative blogosphere and, not surprisingly, was picked up by Fox News.

Sarah Palin paints the President as a foreigner and calls his policies: ‘Un-American’ at Boston Tea Party rally — The conservative movement will do everything they can to keep trying to paint Obama as a foreigner. The Birthers are still here as you'd expect because proof means nothing …
