Two Years Later, Right Wing Still posting the Occidental College April Fool’s Hoax as “Breaking News”

This just goes to show you that you don’t have to read in order to write.
Two years ago, a still-unknown party posted an April Fool’s Day joke that Occidental College had supposedly publicized Barack Obama’s transcript, revealing his supposed Indonesian citizenship and his supposed true name of “Barry Soetoro.” Two years ago, the fake “Associated Press article” was exposed as a fiction. But two years later, a bunch of illiterate right-wing chumps are still baaaaing right along and posting the hoax as breaking news!
The latest list of birther chumps:
American Independent Party candidate Leonard Foster of Nevada still hasn’t gotten the memo about this memo.
Conservative Watch News (logo: a watch!) has not been watching.
The Disclosure Project has a big picture of a pretty kitty cat, but that still doesn’t make the fake Associated Press story real.
Blue Eye View needs a website redesign and a new content provider.
Oh, you silly geese.

Many, but many are falling on April Fool’s Day joke, the truth that if you are carrying a blog or are a person who has access to some means of communication to spread your thoughts have to learn to analyze and wait and know disclose information

createdaftertheevent.com, gly.
Read the “about” page from that website and you’ll see the owner is very clear she had nothing to do with the letter and created her website after the hoax was circulated.
