Birther Freaks Jump the Shark

Almost impossible to believe even in your wildest dreams, but "birther" fantasies about President Obama's nativity have taken a bizarre and utterly preposterous turn into Willy-Wonka-scary-tunnel-territory...
“Birthers” are flipping their tinfoil hats over a new film that claims President Barack Obama’s father was not a Kenyan goat herder but rather a communist journalist nearly four decades older than his mother. The problem? It undermines a bedrock of birther lore: that the president is ineligible to be commander-in-chief. 
“Dreams From My Real Father,” a 97-minute film narrated by an Obama impersonator, weaves the narrative that Obama’s grandfather wasn’t a furniture salesman but an undercover CIA agent who convinced Barack Obama Sr. to marry his teenage daughter to hide the fact that she was impregnated by a 55-year-old communist named Frank Marshall Davis. 
The fake Obama narrator sets up the tale as the “the story I would have told if I were being honest with you.”
