WaPo: Birthers are an embarrassment to mainstream Republicans.


We knew it all along ...


Link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/23/AR2009072303071.html


Mainstream Republicans who want the issue to go away are having a tough time stamping it out as the so-called "birthers" resurface, with assists from talk show host Rush Limbaugh and CNN's Lou Dobbs.

Some who had initially dismissed the claim as a laughable political sideshow now wonder whether it's gotten out of control.





WAAAH!! No fair!!

5. "Mainstream Republican" is an oxymoron.
And most of them are pretty moronic, too.

7. Mainstream republicans, eh?
They're the ones who destroyed their own 'moral' credibility with serial peccadilloes. Now they're shredding what's left of any intellectual credibility they may have had. It is to



LMAO.

8. Even Scartbutt..say they like "barking sea lions"....
"They would rather be like sea lions barking at waves," he said. "Instead of trying to figure out what's happening to their country ... they embrace conspiracy theories, and they make themselves look like cartoon characters."

12. which mainstream: the FDR-sabotaging one, the McCarthyite one, the coup- and war-happy one,
the Northwoods one, the Iran-Contra one, the anti-school, -environment, -gun-control, and -poor "human slug" Contract on America one, or the American Mussolini one?

16. Washington Post once again coddles the right
They should know by now that there is no such thing as a "mainstream republican". I can think of maybe 4 off the top of my head that would even qualify for "sane republican" and if you remove the people I'm related to the number is down to 2.

:D
