Quite hilarious... although nothing beats the Barack Obama article.

"Barack Hussein Obama II (allegedly born in Honolulu,[1][2][3] August 4, 1961) served as a first-term Democratic Senator from Illinois (2004-2008) and then, along with his running mate Senator Joseph Biden, won the presidential election[4] after twenty-three months of campaigning, raising and spending an unprecedented $650 million, most of which came from anonymous donors. An apparent Muslim, Obama could use the Koran when he is sworn into office.[5]"

You beat me to it Angry

Nonetheless that is a hilarious article, probably more so than the Reagan Cold War article. Its most amusing how they do not believe he was born in the United States, and most importantly consider himself to be Muslim. Silly conservatives!

actually nearly half the article is devoted to "proof" that he is a Muslim, including spurious and outright ridiculous claims such as "Obama has chosen the Secret Service code name "Renegade". "Renegade" conventionally describes someone who goes against normal conventions of behavior, but its first usage was to describe someone who has turned from their religion. It is a word derived from the Spanish renegado, meaning "Christian turned Muslim," "Obama uses the Muslim Pakistani pronunciation for "Pakistan" rather than the common American one," and "On the campaign trail, Obama was reading "The Post-American World" by Fareed Zakaria, which is written from a Muslim point-of-view," which is absurd, as the book is from a Muslim point of view ONLY in the sense that Zakaria is a Muslim. The book isn't about Islam at all, and Islam isn't used as the frame of analysis.  And even if it were true that the book was from a "Muslim point of view", reading it wouldn't make the reader Muslim. Many Christian theologians read the Koran, but that doesn't result in their conversion to Islam. You could make a stronger case that anyone who read The Kite Runner was a Muslim.
