This is either great performance art or a case study of the effects of hate media.

Either way, you gotta see pretty much the only video proof of Rick Santorum being the sane one. Enjoy.

1. Charleston, SC?

Eh... it's been done:

She must be confusing reality with a 32 year old TV movie...

2. Snopes has this covered.

Origins: This October 2013 article about President Obama supposedly firing "four top ranking military officers" after they refused to detonate a nuclear device "in or near" Charleston, South Carolina, isn't a real news item. And neither is its follow-up which posited that Russia had successfully test-fired a ballistic missile in "direct response to President Barack Obama's attempt to destroy Charleston" as part of a "false flag attack."

Both items are just more fictional "Sorcha Faal" sensationalism originating with a single disreputable source, the http://whatdoesitmean.com political conspiracy site, of which RationalWiki says:
Sorcha Faal is the alleged author of an ongoing series of "reports" published at WhatDoesItMean.com, whose work is of such quality that even other conspiracy nutters don't think much of it.

Each report resembles a news story in its style but usually includes a sensational headline barely related to reality and quotes authoritative high-level Russian sources (such as the Russian Federal Security Service) to support its most outrageous claims. Except for the stuff attributed to unverifiable sources, the reports don't contain much original material. They are usually based on various news items from the mainstream media and/or whatever the clogosphere is currently hyperventilating about, with each item shoehorned into the conspiracy narrative the report is trying to establish.

3. Ohhh, I'm well aware she's full of bat guano and other preservatives . . .

. . . I just thought her delivery was funny. Almost comical. That pronounced hellfire-and-brimstone delivery is the stuff of Brother Love!

(thanks for the backstory, BTW).

4. Explanation from Snopes - Generals in charge of the Nukes got in trouble

For several scandals including rampant cheating on tests. The RW whackos extrapolated it into Charleston SC almost getting nuked by Obama to ..... uh .... create a new war. Sorry my brain rejected the thought of trying to explain these dumbasses.

5. The video doesn't show his response.

So.... till I see it, I'm gonna assume he agreed with her.
