The New York Times profiles Andy Martin, he man responsible for the rumor about Obama being a Muslim. Martin has a "moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character" according to a psychiatric evaluation, so that explains a lot. But it doesn't explain this ditty about Fox News:
[A]n appearance in a documentary-style program on the Fox News Channel
watched by three million people last week thrust the man, Andy Martin,
and his past into the foreground. The program allowed Mr. Martin to
assert falsely and without challenge that Mr. Obama had once trained to
overthrow the government.An examination of legal documents and
election filings, along with interviews with his acquaintances,
revealed Mr. Martin, 62, to be a man with a history of scintillating if
not always factual claims. He has left a trail of animosity — some of
it provoked by anti-Jewish comments — among political leaders, lawyers
and judges in three states over more than 30 years.
