      The Birthers are nothing more than a reincarnation of the Swift Boat Liars.

      Yes it is a small group of dangerous people, but it is enough to get the media interest and enough to incite others to keep the story alive.
      And yes they are "nutty".

        Thank you Roland. The more people debating this "issue" the more credence it gets. We need more in the media who tell it like it really is.

      A much larger group of people than the birthers spoke up much more loudly and vigorously against the Iraq War.

      The SCUM (So-Called Unbiased Media) couldn't seem to find them.

      But these wackos, who shouldn't even register as a blip on the radar, are on every channel.

      Some librul media.

        Unfortunately,

        This small group of whack-jobs includes some very prominent "news" personalities: Hannity, Beck, Dobbs.

        Pretty sad how this type of conservative scum pervades our society: I wonder what Walter Cronkite would think?

        What has Ted Baxter had to say about this birth certificate baloney?

          Not only does it include those media personalities but they are the primary disseminators of this phony story. They may not have created it but I bet 90% or better of the birthers heard it first from one of those 3 or Limbaugh.

      ok, i think that we've been exposed to enough of this nonsense. from now on anyone who say that Obama has not proved he was born in the U.S. I say we make them prove they were born in the U.S.
      by that i mean i want to see their "original" BC. if they can't produce it then we should start deportation hearings to send them back to the planet they came from. if we can deport enough of them we can make a giant leap forward in the human gene pool.

        I say we declare them enemy combatants and ship 'em to one of the black sites for interrogation. (j/k)

      It's amazing how once Chris Matthews says it, it's true.
