Birthers Need to Come Out and Just Admit They Have a Problem w/ a Black man Being President
This "controversy" has become extremely stupid and riddled with heavy racial overtones. Their claiming he's not a citizen is another way of saying he's "not like us, so we don't want him to be President." All of this "I want my country back in White hands." (italic emphasis mine). They need to stop hiding behind an argument and come out and admit the racist views they have. And the MSM giving these crackpots credibility doesn't help the situation.

5. Right on, Bullet!
This lilly white chick knows it's all about the racism, the birthers are just smarter at hiding it than Brian "why is he still employed?" Kilmeade.

7. It's not that he's black...
It's all that 'palling around with terrorists' that he does.
Who wouldn't hate that? :eyes: They are nuts.

9. It's also about ideology and getting what they want
Racism is a big motivator, but it's not the only one. I'm convinced there are birthers who don't care about his race, they just don't want anyone that's not a right-wing extremist being President.

11. I don't think it's because he's black,
I think it's because he is a Democrat and he is going to be making changes they can't handle.

12. It doesn't help when various axe-grinders who aren't from Fox like Dobbs or Lynn Samuels pile on.
It helps give the thing a little more media "credibility" far beyond what it would deserve.

13. I disagree. Right-wingers claimed Bill Clinton and Hillary killed Vince Foster
Edited on Wed Jul-22-09 06:09 PM by Redhead Irish
And other fabrications.

There is always a cuckoo group that accuses the biggest Democrat at the moment of something outrageously false. See John Kerry and the Swifties, and Al Gore and the creation of the Internet.

14. They don't have to admit anything. We KNOW that's what their real problem is
It's pretty transparent.

16. If the media didn't report it then it would be silent
The media needs to be gagged on this one because it is unfair. OK what's fair about politics?
