re: #67 reine.de.tout

I would like to know how many of the people responding didn’t even know there were questions about Obama’s birth or citizenship until they got the poll question.

This has been news in blogs, but I haven’t seen this in newspapers or on TV. Did the pollsters only poll people who follow blogs?

Reine, unfortunately nirtherism has been getting attention on TV and in the news by people who treat it as if it were a legitimate question. Lou Dobbs, Michelle Bachmann, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and the ten republicans who were co-sponsering a nirther bill are just some of the ones I know about.

Chris Matthews interviewed one of those GOP nirthers and utterly destroyed him—Charles had a post about it. Jon Stewart did a segment on them as well.
