Scarborough: Birthers "embrace conspiracy theories, make themselves look like cartoon characters"

[Contrary1]

NEW YORK - Six months after Barack Obama's inauguration, a persistent and noisy legion of doubters won't let go of an already debunked claim — that he is actually a foreign-born, illegal president.

The issue has flared again on political blogs, TV news shows and even a town hall meeting, widely circulated on YouTube, in which a Republican congressman was booed for saying Obama is a citizen.

Mainstream Republicans who want the issue to go away are having a tough time stamping it out as the so-called "birthers" resurface, with assists from talk show host Rush Limbaugh and CNN's Lou Dobbs.

"I've stopped laughing," New York Daily News columnist Errol Louis wrote Thursday. "Too many political and media leaders are deliberately fanning the flames of ignorance and fear, and they should be ashamed."

3. Well Scarborough would certainly recognize a...

Cartoon character when he sees one.
Because if anyone is a fucking cartoon character, it's that asshole.
Him and his sidekick... Mika Mouse!

Morning Joe Scarborough, is a freaking walking, talking, right wing, kool aid drinking, cartoon asshole.

He can kiss my big fat Irish ass.

4. Yea, the birthers are really annoying.

But if they're embarrassing the likes of Joe Scarborough and Errol Louis ... some clouds have a silver lining.
