Tara ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I truly believe there is nothing -- literally nothing -- that will make the birthers happy.
I heard a clip on NPR of a woman asking someone in the whitehouse(can't remember who) about "Why they didn't prove he was an American" and she just got louder and louder and more and more hysterical. I mean, she truly believes that this country is being taken over by malicious forces. It was a little scary.
For them I think the unicorn is red. Good point, Tep. But remember, he didn't question anyone's lineage, for five years in Hanoi(although to be fair to him, this is one crazy bus he didn't get on. So, ok, points for that.)

Sarah Palin?

Birthers would be funny if they didn't seem to be gaining traction in the mainstream. Among people who'd be furious if anyone dared suggest they needed to prove their citizenship.
Does Chicago count as Real America?
Real America, yes. Real Midwest, no.
Good lord, I'm older than the President.
It's just six months, but damn.

That's how I utterly silence my conservative relatives: I require they pass the same litmus test they're demanding of Obama before *speaking to me again*.
Total, echoing silence.
I have no patience or tolerance for this, and have been LOUD in public in decrying it. I'll continue to do so, too.
It's revolting.

Haven't even Bill O., the Coulterbeast, and Michelle Malkin said that the birthers are batshit crazy?
Has anyone seen any non-white birthers? I'm wondering if "not really American" is just their way of saying, "not one of us white folks" without getting automatically dubbed racists.

I think the right wing is particularly susceptible to the crazy these days. There is such an anti-media streak that some of them only trust the echo chamber right wing media. I've run into this with relatives. You can't trust any source except FOX shows, because CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, AP, Reuters, BBC, etc... are all liberal. And don't even mention NPR.
