Birther Chain Email Uses Fake AP Story To Question Obama’s Citizenship

If you thought 2010 was the future, think again. A phony new email chain letter — one of the antiquated viral sort leftover from the AOL era — is claiming that the case against President Barack Obama‘s citizenship has reached the Supreme Court, based on a forged and typo-riddled Associated Press “report.” The birther movement seemed to lose steam in the year since the 2008 election, but this new email spreading takes the accusations to a new level of ridiculousness based on fake news done poorly. And those typos!
