He bullied a little girl, lied in his book about an ex-girlfriend, and bribed his preacher to keep quiet.
This just keeps getting better and better!

Some people will believe anything they read on the internet. Even if it has a disclaimer at the bottom such as:

"The author, Klein, has been accused of writing untrue statements, but if these stories are even partially true, Obama is going to be in trouble."

A quick search on Edward Klein shows the quality of his work is dubious at best.

It never ceases to amaze me how fanatics (left, right, religious, atheist, or otherwise) will seek out non credible sources for information simply because it aligns with what they WANT the truth to be (regardless of it actually being the truth). If you're that set in your beliefs that you're incapable of changing opinions anyway - why bother seeking false information out?

Especially when it's so easy to call him on stuff that actually matters.

Doesn't matter. A cult member isn't going to get elected over a Christian in the U.Sof A, even if he does try to play up the the evangelicals at a commencement.

that's OK, republican candidates through their ideological donors like the Koch brothers and the Dobsons have spent tens of millions of dollars paying people to say ridiculous and untrue things.....and do it very loudly.....

Intensity of support or opposition can have an impact on campaigns. Currently, 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17 (see trends).
