That's very funny. A legitimate question that is more pointed toward Obama's economic philosophy is misconstrued to be birther rhetoric.

Oh that made me laugh. AND it made me sad.

Too scary and sad to be funny. I had to link it on FB, I have a lot of liberal family....who have probably never heard the word keynesian either.

I like it when smart, tolerant liberals make fools of themselves.
This reminds of when Sean Hannity sent some of his staff out to New York City and said Obama is for- and he inserted some McCain policies. Then the reporter would ask "What do you think of that?" 'Oh it's wonderful it's great etc... time after time.
Then they did the reverse. They said McCain is for- and they inserted Obama's policies. What do you think? Then these people would say 'That's a terrible idea.' It was hilarious.

Hilarious, but a little like shooting fish in a barrel. I wonder what annoyed people more, seeing another sign which (as far as they knew) questioned the President's citizenship, or realizing they'd been punked. If they realized it.

@DavidM: "This reminds of when Sean Hannity sent some of his staff out to New York City and said Obama is for..."
I wonder if they tried the same thing on McCain supporters. Probably would have worked out about the same, which says a lot about us, the electorate, but not much of it's good.

Om my GOD! Are there that many stupid people. I know the word Keynesian but ask for a major description true I could not give it with out searching on WIki but I frigging know the difference between Kenyan and Keynesian. Come on people ask a question if you do not know. Do not just open you mouth and spew!

I’ve seen similar video of Jimmy Kimmel taking a poll on ‘Repealing Women’s Suffrage’. There was one point where this man interrupted to inform the ladies that Women’s Suffrage gave them the right to vote (and run for office).
It’s funny at first until you think about what it all really means, uneducated masses.

Or all the people who signed up to repeal the First Amendment because nobody should be able to hurt another person's feelings.

George Smathers attacked his Senate opponent in 1950.
"Do you know that Claude Pepper is known all over Washington as a shameless extrovert? Not only that, but this man is reliably reported to practice nepotism with his sister-in-law, and he has a sister who was once a thespian in wicked New York. Worst of all, it is an established fact that Mr. Pepper, before his marriage, habitually practiced celibacy."

Hillarious!!

@Andrew: Would YOU trust someone who deliberately practiced celibacy?
