Freepers Not So Good At Distinguishing Fantasy From Reality?

Now, everybody gets fooled every now and then, so I don't really want to make a federal case out of this.

But look: this is an obvious fake. And it seems to have taken the Freepi quite awhile to figure that out.

I wouldn't even point it out if it weren't for the fact that, as you read down the list of posts at Free Republic, you basically get "Obama: Antichrist", "Obma's Nazi Civilian Corps," "William Ayers Wrote Obama's Books," "McCain Leads Election Race!," "Axelrod Backed by Russia," and so forth, and you think "my God what is wrong with these crazy people?"...and then stuff like this video pops up in the middle of it all, and suddenly a unifying hypothesis suggests itself: these people just have defective bullshit detectors. Maybe it's not just politics...maybe they just aren't very good at distinguishing fact from fantasy in general.

Maybe that would explain all the Bigfoot posts...
