Example: Someone once told me Obamacare was selfish for naming the program after himself.

Go!

The Vatican could end the Great Recession if they weren't so greedy. All they need to do is sell everything that they're hiding in their treasury and catacombs and the economy would be back to normal

Freshman year philosophy. Good times

In person still has to be an elderly neighbor I talked to in 6th grade (who I believe is now in a nursing home) who told me that she was voting for Obama because McCain supported abortion and Obama did not.

-- John Kerry will make gay marriage legal if he is elected president.

-- Women can't get pregnant from rape because the adrenaline shuts down the process, thus rape exceptions are unnecessary. (Heard that one in high school and college from several Baptists well before Akin's comments)

-- One aspect of Obamacare is that doctors will be required to let sick old people die instead of treating them.

1. Camouflaged, vampiric space lizards want our energy, run the New World Order, and Bush Jr. is one of them.

2. A DARPA station in Alaska directs hurricanes into political foes of the U.S. state and can trigger earthquakes.

3. Without enough racial segregation, our descendants will interbreed and thus become primitive "bushmen."

People who blame every one of the nation's problems, real or imaginary, on the lack of Protestant indoctrination in public schools. These folks are everywhere!

"Jews control the world". Not surprisingly, this is a claim which, more or less subtly, I have heard or read several times.

That Obamacare allowed the president to form his own army.

This lady I work with literally said the Secret Service's Colombia prostitution scandal would not have happened if not for Obama being the President.

There are many I've heard, but the most memorable one is this:

"George Bush Sr. was a moderate."

This I suppose.

Of course there is the "Obama is a Muslim, Kenyan Socialist" claim as well

I guess it's more of a scientific claim than a political one, but the radical feminist on DU who claimed that circumcision increases levels of aggressiveness in males and is directly linked to more rape and is a tool of the patriarchy has to take the cake.

For a solely political one, it's tough to pick just one, but one that stands out was a comment on some news site about the coming end of DADT claiming that this would lead to the reinstation of the draft.

One time I heard someone claim that Chelsea Clinton was conceived in rape.  I forget who said it, though.  Rush Limbaugh, maybe?

A ton of stuff from FSTDT, but I think this one really stands out:
