You wanna know who the birthers are, and why? This photo sums it up (warning: offensive)

[Faygo Kid]

This was posted on one of the countless birther threads on Free Republic. I post it under the philosophy, Know Thy Enemy. This is who they are, and why they do it, Donald, and you know that damned well.

No, of course it's not about race. Like hell it's not.

1. These racists are disgusting

scumbags.

2. Yuck.

Disgusting, but people need to see this stuff to realize who those idiots are.

Out of curiosity, where was this found?

11. It shows up only at FR

back in 2009 acccording to tinyeye.

[Curmudgeoness]

3. This is really at the bottom of the barrel. Although I don't see it

as anything more than disgusting, I do hope that they intend this as a sick and demented joke and not what they think is the truth.

BTW, that is one of the shittiest photoshop jobs I have ever seen.

4. Yeah, America has no racists. Another WTF moment. These racist fools are disgusting. n/t

5. Palpably more offensive than the old "Nixon asshole" pic due to the racial overtones....

...still I cannot support censoring it, only using it to expose what a bunch of racist, ignorant, scumbag cumspots the Tea Party and their birthers are.

I always liked the Nixon asshole pic.

6. They are a bunch of racist freaks...

and even the more moderate republicans remain silent.

:puke:

7. Very well written

I sense a good propagandist is behind this one. It speaks to a certain type.

8. No need to show that here. nt

9. + Does NOT belong on DU

[lamp_shade]

10. +1 It's disgusting.

[Bigmack]

12. I'm torn....

I don't need to see this pic to know they are assholes, but I'm not so sure the rest of Murika shouldn't see it. Then the "average American" would know just how far the 'baggers are over the line. I'll bet even some of the people who might giggle at that picture would realize, in their hearts, that it's over the line.

How about a 20 second TV spot with all the insulting, racist photoshopped pics the RW has circulated on it. With the message... "Are the people who made these pictures what America is all about?" Over and Over...

17. Thanks. I hate it too. Hate it without question. That's why it's here.

I feel terrible about offending anyone here, but I think all need to see it. You can't sugarcoat this kind of hate. It needs to be aired out.

[Faygo Kid]

13. I posted a warning. If you don't think this kind of hate exists, turn away.

I think there is indeed a need to show this here. Better know what we are up against.

I could show lynchings, WWII ovens, and more. But I don't like it, either. I don't post this because it's pretty. It's what you need to acknowledge out there.

[DevonRex]

14. Thank you. It needs to be seen.

Sometimes we're in denial about their hateful racism. Well, I'm not since I have birther bagger relatives.

[Faygo Kid]

15. Sorry about your relatives, but thanks for your post.

I'm 60 later this year, and proud to say my remaining relatives are grateful for unions and stuff like Social Security, Medicare and Pell grants that have made this nation what it is. Oh, and they all worked harder than hell throughout their lives.

I'm proud of all of them. Mom was the first woman in the U.S. to win the War Production Board award in WWII while working on airplanes at Packard in Detroit, and was a Dem all her life. Maybe I ought to post her story on DU, but I'm afraid she will just get a couple responses, and that's not good enough.

[DevonRex]

16. I'd love to read it

So please tell her story.

[anneboleyn]

19. I think so too -- it is offensive, but that is who we are dealing with -- and Trump knows it

He is such an opportunistic creep -- he doesn't care about selling his soul to the birthers if they will vote for him. I have heard commentators on various political shows try to claim that the birthers aren't motivated by race, but it is so clear that they are absolutely fixated on this issue. Ugh. That "photo" is just appalling.

18. It's not barbed wire, and it's not a very good photoshop job. n/t
