The "Birthers" are getting bored...

So they are aiming at a new target, Kamala Harris.

Birthers Are Back And Taking Aim At Kamala Harris

Right wingers are already queuing up their magic lie machine to claim Senator Kamala Harris is ineligible to run for president because she isn't a "natural born citizen."

Sharon Rondeau at a Z-list right-wing site called The Post & E-Mail thinks Kamala Harris might not be eligible to be president.

the self righteous Jews that threw Christ to the cross. Kinda like the evangelicals of today.

I may be mistaken and gladly accept correction if needed. Thanks.

Jesus was crucified by the Romans. His crime was being a potential political opponent of Rome - hence the charge posted on the cross "King of the Jews."

The references in the Gospels (predominantly Matthew) to Pilate bending to a mob calling for Jesus' crucifixion seems problematic. It is difficult to imagine why a Roman governor would be at all concerned with the views of a subjugated people.

The charge of "Christ killers" is one of the earliest forms of Antisemitism.

that in order to be a "natural born citizen" one or both parent must also have been born here.

Not that they were necessarily born in the US.

They have essentially created out of whole cloth a new type of citizen, the natural born citizen, which is distinct from just being a US citizen. It's never been recognized that there is legally any distinction other than that naturalised citizens can't become President. Quite frankly, we should eliminate that restriction just to get rid of these stupid birthers!
