Obama, Andrew Sullivan and Palin

A funny thing is happened last week. President Obama quoted almost verbatim an Andrew Sullivan blog post where he said that Churchill didn't condone torture. It turned out to be woefully inaccurate as Churchill encouraged it in some cases.

Here's what's really interesting: Obama is quoting a man who writes erroneous information on his site right next to posts about Trig Palin being born to Bristol and not Sarah Palin. Sullivan's been on this extremely creepy conspiracy theory for months.

It's funny, the right side of the blogosphere has been smacking down our own for spreading the rumor that Obama wasn't a citizen and thus can't legally be president while Obama quotes a hack journalist in prime time who wallows in conspiracy theories on a daily basis.
