Where do people get these crazy ideas?

In case you wonder how right wing tropes become conventional wisdom shared by the masses, here’s a good illustration:
President Obama held a press conference earlier today, and he said he still wants to close the Guantanamo Bay prison facility, but he doesn’t know how to do it. He should do what he always does: declare it a small business and tax it out of existence.It will be gone in a minute. Be gone in a minute! One month! Be out of there!
That’s especially rich coming from a multi-millionaire entertainer, don’t you think? I’d imagine he too sees himself as a “small businessman” — after all, he employs a bunch of servants.
