Birthers Of A Nation

Birther   \bərth-ər\  noun

A mindless automaton whackjob conspiracy theorist racist so filled with fear of a black man in charge of the country that he or she believes, despite vast amounts of evidence to the contrary, that Barack Obama is ineligible for the Presidency of the United States because of a vast conspiracy to hide his actual birthplace outside the United States of America.

Coward   \kou-erd\  noun

An elected official who refuses to go on the record denouncing the fallacy that is the “birther” movement and therefore, through their complacency, perpetuates the myth as reality to the nutjobs that are looking for validation in any form they can take.

*****

Keep in mind, for the “Birther Theory” to be true the conspiracy has to include falsified records from, at least, the White House, the State of Hawaii, Hawaii’s Department of Health, The Honolulu Advertiser and The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reaching back to 1961.  My own debunking theory states that if this were actually true, why would batshit crazy Alan Keyes not have used it during his 2004 campaign against Obama for the Illinois Senate seat?  Why wait until Obama’s elected President and Keyes is just a lone wingnut in the wilderness?  Do you think Keyes would have waited for the second opportunity of losing an election to Obama before bringing it up?  He’s crazy, but he ain’t that crazy.

 Mike Stark of firedoglake.com has a great film of himself chasing Birther  supporters on Capitol Hill.  Watch as he tries, in vain, to get actual members of Congress to go on record denouncing the Birther movement.   My favorite part was when the one Congressman started to literally run away to the overdubbed theme from “Chariots Of Fire”.  Hope you enjoy!

Who said Congress moves slow?
