WND columnist Ellis Washington -- who has not been shy about likening Obama to Nazis -- threw an additional smear into the mix in a Jan. 17 column, claiming that "I see Barack Obama mimicking the fascist and socialist policies of President Wilson," later going on to reference "the fascist and socialist legacy of Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Carter." George W. Bush, meanwhile, merely has "utopian tendencies."

Another WND columnist who likened Obama to Nazis, Erik Rush, declared his contempt in the headline of his Jan. 22 column: "Mussolini inspired optimism, too."

And Jack Cashill is still clinging to his conpsiracy theory that William Ayers ghost-wrote Barack Obama's first book. His Jan. 15 WND column asserted that an article that Obama purportedly wrote in 1983 containing grammatical errors "should put an end to the charade that Barack Obama wrote his 1995 memoir 'Dreams From My Father' unaided," adding that "Ayers had the means, the motive and the ability to jump start Obama's literary career, and Obama needed all the help he could get." Missing, of course -- as has been missing all along -- is any actual evidence that isn't speculative or circumstantial.

WND hasn't let the inauguration get in the way of its bogus obsession over Obama's birth certificate. A Jan. 18 article by Bob Unruh failed to acknowledge the simple fact that WND's own reporting found it to be authentic, still pretending that there are legitimate questions about Obama's "eligibility" not raised by people who aren't Obama-haters like themselves.

An italic-littered Jan. 20 WND column by Alan Keyes and fellow birth certificate obsessive John Haskins keeps up the fight by claiming, "Now steps onto the stage of world history a man apparently quite conscious that the Supreme Law of the United States prevents him from being president of the United States," adding their contempt for Obama's supporters: "Like the sophisticated, educated elites in Weimar, Germany, they long to live under what they presume will be a benevolent dictatorship."

1. Even before he was sworn in?

That's hilarious. They sound to me like they need changing. They're cranky because - I bet - they're all red and chafed.

Poor little things.

2. There were calls for Obama's impeachment on Election night

as the polls closed. :crazy:

3. That's rich

Even before they were confirmed losers, they were behaving like confirmed losers.

Well, it's good that they started early because they're gonna get A WHOLE LOT OF PRACTICE.

4. What do they have against education? "Educated Elites"

My guess is that their readers are not educated so it is pandering to sell the rag.

WND was founded in 1996 by Joseph Farah. In 1991, after resigning as editor of the Sacramento Union, Farah co-founded the Western Journalism Center, known for its promotion of conservative causes, with James H. Smith, former publisher of the Sacramento Union.<2> In 1994 and 1995, foundations controlled by conservative financier and former owner of the Union Richard Mellon Scaife gave $330,000 to the Center.<3> By May 1997, Farah set his eyes on the internet and set up WorldNetDaily as a project of the Center. In 1999, WorldNetDaily.com, Inc., with offices in Cave Junction, Oregon, was incorporated in Delaware as a for-profit subsidiary of the non-profit Western Journalism Center with the backing of $4.5 million from investors.<4> As a result, Farah and the Western Journalism Center possess the bulk of the WND stock, but the remainder is owned by about 75 private investors. In August 2001, Business Week cited Farah who claimed WND had begun to turn a profit.<5> Currently the webpage has a staff of approximately 25 people.<6>
