For Those That Find Birtherism Passe: Blogs Report On Obama’s ‘Brain Surgery Scars’

A lot of the times we miss out on the latest and greatest Barack Obama conspiracy theories that aren’t being promoted by legitimate presidential candidates. This is especially true ever since I started blocking emails from my aunt who was positive that Obama held a “Pimps and Ho’s Party” at the White House (Sorry, Aunt Becky. If you’re hosting Christmas this year, you’re gonna have to call me by phone about it). Anyway, thank goodness for Wonkette picking up on this article from The Daily Mail. You’d think we’d be annoyed at the British tabloid printing unsubstantiated rumors about our president, but how else would we know about Obama’s sinister brain surgery scars! Now that’s an awesome conspiracy.

The Daily Mail piece collects some theories from bloggers who noticed an odd pattern in Obama’s hair in pictures of he and George Lopez. Not content to ask the obvious questions (when and why Obama was hanging with George Lopez in the first place?), the bloggers dug deeper and realized that the hair pattern was clearly a scar from brain surgery.

“Ben Hart, a blogger for Escape The Tyranny a website which presents itself as a Social Network & Forum For Conservatives, said: ‘Obama’s almost done with his first term, and we still know almost nothing about the background of the President of the United States.

‘Whatever happened to create that scar, it was clearly something serious. Was it a brain operation? Has it affected his thinking?

‘No one is allowed to see his birth certificate. He is just one big mystery man, which adds intrigue to what that huge scar is all about.’

He also said that surgery might explain why the President gets lost speaking without a teleprompter, and posted a video of Obama struggling through a speech, repeating his words and getting lost mid-sentence.”

My first question was why the most powerful man in the world couldn’t get his hands on a surgeon who wouldn’t leave noticeable scars. But then I realized Obama probably used some cheap surgeon…in Kenya!

I had some more questions but, unfortunately, I got distracted by The Daily Mail’s photos of Christine Hendricks in a nightie. Hopefully some legitimate, real, totally serious presidential candidate will pick up this story and talk about it on every news show ever for three weeks straight so that I can learn more.

Wow – Jon is a sexist. Not cool.

Well, it’s about as plausible as the birther argument. Somebody makes a baseless accusation, then it’s Obama’s burden to prove it false.

Nice for throwing your ‘nice Aunt under the BUS.

A story, on a web site feature, about a British newspaper article, covering the rantings of anonymous bloggers. Wow, nothing compelling penned on the bathroom wall down at the Applebees this weekend?

How could anyone believe those scars are from brain surgery?

Sheezwiz…..everyone knows those scars come from a widely known ritual in Kenya right after a baby is born!!!!

Ridiculous. Obama could no more have brain surgery than he could have a hysterectomy.

Of course. You of all people should know that I am already circumcised.

Another MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is exposed — we all know he’s been programmed to destroy America, but who’s the controller this time ? Chinese communists ? Soros ? Union Bo$$e$ ? Crazy pelosi ? the kenyan government ? Hugo chavez ? ACORN ? — or is it ALL OF THEM ?

Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything while reading these or I’d have a damaged computer to tend to, haha.

I’m sure Jon knows this was tongue in cheek as well, hence the tongue-in-cheekiness of this article.

This looks to be nothing more than silliness. I don’t believe that the conservative mentioned in this article believes actually any of this. I think cjd ohio 1 got it when he said tongue in cheek. The Daily Mail article seems to be tongue in cheek. Conservatives are smarter than that.

Well, the majority of them anyway ;)

I feel another right wing conspiracy coming on.

jon , are you targeting obama’s citizenship and religion, because media matters says you are by posting this article

Given how often we see Obama’s mug on TV I can’t imagine when he would have been able to get brain surgery in secret.

The reason there are countless conspiracies about Obama is because we really don’t know anything about him. No president in US history has kept more of his life secret from the public than Barack Obama. If he wasn’t black and liberal he would never be allowed to get away with his secrecy. The media would demand to see his college transcripts, etc. I have a feeling we’re going to learn some amazing things about this guy in about 20 years. Stuff that would’ve rendered him unelectable had the public known.

If liberals were smart, they’d shout this story from the rooftops, making Conservatives look even more idiotic.

Well, I’m a liberal and this is pretty much my favorite wacky anti-Obama conspiracy theory to date. This is hilarious. Secret brain surgery?! Come on, man!

Barack Must Go

I heard Barack has a prototype of the ” If You Can Think It, You Can Read It ” Mohamed’s little home koran implanted in his head. This way he can act like he’s lost a contact lens five times a day and no one will be the wiser.

Thanks Jon for that Christina Hendricks link. Booooing! :)
Oh, another reason why the teabaggers are stupid. There’s the other one about Obama not really being in a photo with his grandparents.

LOL.

Why does Mediaite publish this type of garbage. People should right to their sponsors and tell them yo stop advertising here because they are tainting their brand being associated with the trash peddled on this blog solely to make money.
Contessa

omg, this is definitely my favorite new obama slander (actually it would libel, of course), but weirdly, that guy standing with obama looks like eddie fisher (one of liz taylors husbands) and he’s been dead a long long time, so along with brain surgery let’s add time traveller.

It’s actually George Lopez, a comedian. Basically, birthers are a joke. :)

The scars is from where they removed the “666″ from his head.

First there was TOTUS. Now we learn that Obowmao is actually golfing in Hawaii and we get the android version for day to day Anti-American issues.

The scars are from a botched circumcision.
billwhit1357

LOL, love it! Obama has certainly proven something is not right with his brain. Maybe it was his being raised in the muslim culture. Seems like that screws most people up. Or maybe he is just more a Global Citizen instead of an American Citizen, fits him much better. Lets kick him to the UN and get him out of our hair!
Color Me Badd

No that is where he has his 666 birthmark.

They picked this gem up from The Blaze, home of the Glenn Beck Worship Hour!

Of course, it has been echoing around the loony bin for sometime.
