Given the source of this story (on two levels), I decided to look for who's talking about this. I found Breitbart, Infowars, pjmedia and Heat Street. I've not found anything outside that approximate range of legitimacy. The story has not come up on Snopes yet (maybe not popular enough for anyone to have bothered).
Do you think that the echo chamber is going to get any more outrageous before its done?
