Example: [Collected via email, February 2015] Did Sarah Palin, while on the Glenn Beck program, say that vaccinations caused homosexuality? Origins: On 5 February 2015, an image of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was posted to the Facebook page Stop The World, the Teabaggers Want Off, along with a quote purportedly uttered by her during an appearance on the Glenn Beck Program on 28 January 2015: There's a connection between vaccinations and homosexuality. Anybody with eyes can see that. It doesn't take a doctor to figure that out. But the former Alaska governor said no such thing. The Stop the World Facebook group is a satirical one that frequently attributes fictitious quotes to conservative politicians. On 1 January 2014, the group claimed Palin made offensive comments about white privilege, and on 13 January 2015, the group attributed a dubious diatribe questioning Michelle Obama's feminine qualities to Mitt Romney. The group's disclaimer page notes its material is satirical and intended for entertainment purposes only: This page is for entertainment purposes. It is NOT meant to be taken seriously. It is primarily satire and parody with a mix of political memes and messages.
