re: #157 Lidane

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.

It’s not so much that you have to be a racist, as that you have to be colossally stupid. I assume it’s possible to hate Barack Obama for being black, without being so completely without critical thinking skills that you buy this insane narrative.
