What is your attitude about the Birthers?

[bluestateguy]

[Jennicut]

1. I go back and forth between laughing at their lunancy and being frightened by it

[Ikonoklast]

2. I want charlatans like Oily Tights taking all their money.

It will be just that much less they can contribute to nutjobs like Palin.

And they are getting more and more delusional in their rantings. Makes them all look like loons.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. They're idiots. Period. (nt)

[NYMountaineer]

4. They're a bunch of losers

With too much free time on their hands.

Problem is, they might provoke the next Timothy McVeigh into action. Call me naive, but it wasn't until the last two years or so that I realized how many seriously mentally ill people there are in this world (9/11-truth-Planet-Nibiru-Operation-Bluebeam-FEMA-Camps-Reptilian-33rd-Level-Freemason-types).

The far right lunatic fringe could be the closest thing we have to Al Q'aeda in this country.

I laugh at them plenty, but they could still cause a major mess if we don't keep on the ball.

11. You mean the over thruster I purchased is phony?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

30. I bet you want a refund on your dilithium crystals, too, Don't Cha???!??

:rofl:

[scheming daemons]

5. Other: They're worth a good laugh... but there might be a Timothy McVeigh among 'em. Keep watch

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Other-- they are yet another distraction at a time when...

we should be focused.

There's just too much important stuff going on now, and the "birther" bullshit just gives them a way to get out of working on it and taking some responsibility.

[RandomThoughts]

8. +1

[Hekate]

7. They're dangerous, because they are part of the lunatic fringe that breeds violence...

Republican politicians who refuse to repudiate them now will act terribly surprised if one of their number shows up waving a gun at a Democratic politician.

[Number23]

9. Other. They are harmless, but I sure as HELL hope they are being monitored.

[smalll]

10. Funny, irrelevant amusement. The Birthers are like our Fraudsters of 2004 --

Orly Taitz is their Bev Harris. A lot of sound an fury sigifying nothing, except on certain corners of the internets.

[LAGC]

12. All it takes is one angry birfer in the military...

Who truly thinks Obama isn't really his commander-in-chief and decides to do something about it...

[jberryhill]

13. That is precisely what they are attempting to inspire /nt

[billyoc]

14. 2 and 3.

[bottomofthehill]

15. They are nuts pure and simple

Crazy people

[sandnsea]

16. They aren't dangerous because of a birth certificate

The ones who are dangerous will find an excuse to act out their rage. As long as they're traipsing around after a birth certificate, it keeps them "off the streets" so to speak.

[old mark]

17. Encourage them. I want RW'ers time money and effort going to

all the ridiculous causes they can have foisted off on them. Anyone stupid enough to believe this bullshit deserves to be taken. Just how stupid this is is now being proven by the fact that even members of congress are getting in on it.

[Trajan]

18. 2 and 3 ....

together ....

[Raine]

19. Whiners and crybabies

they need to suck it up, we won and they lost! We put up with an illegitimate MISadministration for 8 years so .......... get used to it crybabies! :evilgrin:

[Adelante]

20. 2 & 3 nt

[saltpoint]

21. If this is the only thing they got,

they need to settle in to 8 years of judicial picks by Barack Obama.

They're idiots.

[JTFrog]

22. Irrelevant Racists, just like the PUMAs. n/t

[mitchum]

23. They are grasping at straws, but how else does one build a strawman?

[justiceischeap]

24. I'm really worried about this onslaught of crazies coming out of the woodwork

My biggest fear is that they will somehow take over. A lot of them are homeschooling their children, who aren't learning things correctly and some day they will take over. The birthers, the teabaggers, the xstian right... just frightening.

[TheKentuckian]

25. I mostly think they are the disrespectable fringe of batshit

and believe FOR THE MOST PART, that this keeps some very idle minds and hands busy.

Obviously, you keep an eye on 'em as you do all the unhinged, but since they make teabaggers look like "intellectual elites", it is difficult to foresee them doing anything that moves the big picture much.

29. Harmless like 911 Truthers

a lot of noise, a lot of "smoking guns", a lot of hate but in the end destined for internet anonymity.
