Did Glenn Beck rape and murder a girl in 1990?

Making some silly and unfounded statements is one thing (like truthers or birthers). I don't think you can compare an inane conspiracy theory about Obama to this.

Ummm ... birthers are proclaiming that our President is an illegitimate traitor who intends to destroy America. Rapists get prison terms; traitors get the death penalty. And let's not go too deeply into the racial context of declaring that a black man doesn't have his papers; the birther take on Obama has a deep, sympathetic resonance with Jim Crow. I guess you'd have to not be an American to call that "inane," EMFM. It's specific, targeted, and it blows a dog whistle on a frequency that evokes a particular response from its intended audience.

If you think Anonymous has crossed the line of good taste, that's well and good, but to then say that the falsehoods and hysteria whipped up about President 44 are "inane" cuts the legs out from under your argument.
