re: #143 Petero1818

I suspect many Birthers are racists and many racists are Birthers. I do not believe it is a prerequisite by any stretch and I am fairly sure that many who are Birthers are Birthers for political reasons rather than racist ones. To be honest I think it is far easier to say that Birtherism is borne out of idiocy and desperation than it is to say it is borne out of racism.

I think the racism leaks from some of the more slimy birthers and it gets on them all. Sort of like how bacteria and viruses spread.
