Have you heard that President Obama is a gay murderer?

The other day I wrote about the creepy underground smut generated by the wingnut fever swamps about president Obama’s mother, and I mentioned the similarly pathological attacks on Bill Clinton as a murderer back in the 90s.
Well, it looks as though President Obama hasn’t escaped that one either:
In his latest “report” for WorldNetDaily, Corsi ponders whether Obama joined Jeremiah Wright’s church in order to meet other men at “The Down Low Club,” all confirmed by a source identified as “Carolyn,” who said Wright “helped Obama hide his homosexuality” and warned that people may have been killed to cover-up Obama’s dark, gay past.
