Help me understand 'birther'?
I mean really. What is their goal? Is it really genuine or are these people just genuine wackjobs?

1. I think their goal is to unseat Obama by "proving" that he is not a naturally born citizen.

11. Of course, anything that introduces doubt in his leadership. Corp. sponsored

2. They hate Obama
and want him gone. They believe any negative nonsense that floats through the Internets.

They are also genuine whackjobs.
