On the one hand, conspiracy theories have been present at plenty of these events: Alan Keyes got a prominent role at the 4\/15 D.C. Tea Party and a rapper who yelled &#8220;Where&#8217;s your birth certificate?&#8221; got big applause at the 9\/12 march. Medina herself had spoken out for secession &#8212; not a conspiracy theory, but a pretty fringe issue. It took &#8220;trutherism&#8221; to take her down. But I&#8217;m curious to see how the fringe will interact with the GOP as elections get closer.<\/p>\n<p>Check out &#8220;Fraud&#8221; after the jump:<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-76480\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/dbPKneYFyWM\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/dbPKneYFyWM\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your daily dose of unsettling anti-Obama filmmaking &#8212; &#8220;Fraud,&#8221; a movie with a trailer and not much else, consisting of interviews with attendees of the 9\/12 march on Washington and found footage of images such a small girl waving a &#8220;where&#8217;s the birth certificate?&#8221; sign.
