5. GOP birthers have now gone after two of their own minorities.

Perry's sympathies for the birther cause have emerged at a dangerous time. The collection of right-wing conspiracy theorists who claim Obama is unlawfully holding office because he wasn't born stateside have recently begun flinging accusations at two high profile, non-white Republican politicians.

The hysterics over Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, the son of Cuban immigrants who's widely touted as a possible vice-presidential nominee, and Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, suggest the cause isn't fuelled by partisan politics, but something more sinister.

7. Thanks, pampango (& others who replied).

I noticed RawStory had a teaser at the top of its page about Turdblossom's open warning to Perry that he shouldn't be connecting himself with "nutbag" birthers. So, his interest is in protecting Jindal & Rubio, primarily.
