As usual, Twitter is prescient.
The only Strange Mythologies they are Eager Beavers to write about (and write about, and write about, and write about) are from the right.

They correctly assumed the press would try to make hay over “birtherism” and Donald Trump, since he’s campaigning with Mitt Romney. Print media started early.

Hmm. It’s funny how some people must disavow thoughts, however absurd, and others get a pass on having to disavow, you know, terrorist acts.
RT @meredithdake: I'll get up-in-arms about Romney not disavowing trump when Obama disavows domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

Romney is responsible for everything Trump says, but Obama isn't responsible for anything said by Rev. Wright, you racist. @RBPundit

And continue to try to paint the GOP as full of weirdo wingnutty wingnuts with nutty wings.
@BuzzFeedBen I don't think it helps. I also don't think it hurts.This is a story because liberals are OUTRAGED about it, and few others.

People believe odd things. For example, there are WEINER TRUTHERS — but few in the media seem to care about THOSE odd beliefs.

A substantial fraction of Democrats, like 35%, used to believe some form of 911 Trutherism, like that Bush *let 9/11 happen.*

For reasons I couldn't guess, the liberal media doesn't seem very curious about the silly, often repellent, mythologies of the florid left
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 29, 2012
I don't think many people give a shit. At all. The media keeps asking, "Can you believe people believe this?"
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 29, 2012
Stop stomping on their false narrative pushing and the caricatures they have painted in their own heads. Sheesh!
Trump was on CNN this afternoon and host Wolf Blitzer, of course, tried to focus on the “birther” stuff. Trump? Wasn’t having it.

Blitzer: "You're beginning to sound a little ridiculous." Trump: "You're ridiculous." Really, this happened.
— Rick Klein (@rickklein) May 29, 2012
Best thing EVER or BEST thing ever?
Blitzer goes after Trump's rationality, Trump goes after Blitzer's viewership.
— Rebecca Kaplan (@RebeccaRKaplan) May 29, 2012
If you're not watching the Blitzer interview of Trump on CNN, you should start. NOW.

Trump: What I speak to Mitt Romney about is jobs, what I speak to Mitt Romney about is China

"We don't have to go into old news," Donald Trump says after Wolf Blitzer asks about Hawaii fact-finding mission.

Best end of interview ever. Wolf Blitzer to Trump: Do you have anything to add? Trump: "No not at all." Cuts to commercial.
— Chris Moody (@moody) May 29, 2012
For the record, I asked Mr. Trump for an interview but his spokesman said they'd rather wait for the live interview with Wolf.
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) May 29, 2012
Thank goodness! Greatest interview ever. Alas, it was too much to hope for a George Will slam as well.
His Twitter feed was actually totally on point this afternoon, some tweeted while the kerfuffle with Wolf Blitzer was happening. Multitasking!
In '08, @BarackObama said that Bush adding $4T to the debt was unpatriotic.http://bit.ly/pEd2Ww @BarackObama has already added $6T.

The greatest commodity to own is land. It is finite. God is not making any more of it.

At the end of the interview, he should have yanked off his microphone and shouted “The Donald OUT.”
