I am fairly sure that many who are Birthers are Birthers for political reasons rather than racist ones.

The only political reasons to be a Birther ARE racist. You have to literally suspend all disbelief and think that a United States Senator was able to fool the Secret Service, FBI, NSA, and CIA when he went through his security clearance checks. You have to believe that a man with an American mother isn’t an American. You have to believe that somehow, Barack Obama went back in time and forged a birth announcement in the newspaper and that the State of Hawaii is complicit in the plot.

It’s naked racism and xenophobia. There are no other reasons to be a Birther. Period.
