Some People Wonder: Is John McCain the Manchurian Candidate?

There have been heaps of rumors circulating on the internet about Barack Obama. "Some people are saying" that Barack Obama is a Muslim Manchurian Candidate. Now the Washington Post has adopted FauxNews "journalistic" standards: the WaPo is reporting on what "some people are wondering".

But, they have chosen the wrong candidate for their "Manchurian Candidate" scenario.

In a nutshell, a "Manchurian Candidate" is a former POW who was tortured and brainwashed by his captors. After the war has ended, the American people welcome him home as a war hero. But this former POW is a ticking bomb; he's part of a plot to betray the United States. He has no memory of his brainwashing; nor does he have any conscious knowledge of his part in the plot. When the moment is right, his masters will trigger his hidden indoctrination: then he will execute his mission and betray his country.

Only one of the Presidential candidates matches the Manchurian Candidate profile.
