The Birther cretins are reaching their target audience. They only need a few to "respond".
They are using our airwaves to peddle their coded message. Joan Walsh (on Hardball nailed it).

Their message is this:

he's NOT like "us"
he's foreign
he's the result of a white woman sleeping with a black man
he IS a "secret moooooslim"
he's not a legitimate president


and without so much as a wink-wink-nod-nod, they have thrown down the gauntlet, in hopes that someone "out there" will "know what needs to be done"..

They don't really care about the damned document (which HAS been produced many times)... They are only latched onto this "issue", so they can remain in the spotlight, sending out urgent coded-pleas to some loony out there who is willing to act.

8. Nope... Just thought the quote fit with the subject matter...
In other words, "we're not going to actually tell anyone to do something, but we ARE going to SUGGEST it quite strongly."

6. I saw one of those huge billboards
today that read, "Where is the birth certificate?". It was on a Pennsylvania interstate. These people are dangerous.

10. The OP's point is that they're planting the seeds of assassination
....in a way that leaves them with "plausible deniability".

Just like the pro-lifers don't take responsibility for Scott Roeder.



The birther enablers are creating a monster they can't control... and they are doing it on purpose.


All it takes is one or two nuts that "gets the message", and it's November 22, 1963 all over again.


THAT'S why the "birther thing" is dangerous, and not just something to laugh at.

13. "November 22, 1963 all over again..."
Maybe there's a reason they never dropped the wiretaps after all, eh?

15. Fact Check
has a link to a Certification of Live Birth. Is that the same thing as a birth certificate?

I had to go to the New Jersey DMV a few years ago to renew my driver's license. I had some document from California with an official looking seal, but they gave me a hard time because it wasn't a birth certificate. (Wish I could find it now.)

20. I love all the concern posts. "Well, I had to show MY birth certificate for..."
Your post is just like seven or eight others I've read on here today.

"I do believe he was born in the US, but I had to show MY birth certificate for blah, blah, blah"

You are totally transparent.

14. Now it makes sense. The GOP wants to kill the President.
I think Ms. Walsh may be on to something. That explains why the GOP is pushing this crap so hard.
