Yes, Birtherism is back. That idiotic article at breitbart.com by Joel Pollak has opened the door for the Birthers to come rushing back in, babbling incoherently.

Actually, this craziness never really went away; if you’ve read any right wing blog for the past four years, or the comments at Fox News or Free Republic, you know that the Birther delusion is deeply rooted in today’s right wing psyche. That’s why the breitbart.com article set them off in such spectacular fashion. The right is heavily invested in portraying the first black President as a dangerous, angry, un-American radical “other” from somewhere else, probably Kenya.

Here we see two spokesmen for the politically-connected American Family Association, Buster Wilson and the execrable Bryan Fischer, spouting Birther craziness and conspiracy theories while complaining that they’re being labeled as “Birthers.”

And at the far right propaganda site Daily Caller, wingnut attack clown Jim Treacher (real name: Sean Medlock) has latched onto a new technique: he’s going to call anyone who criticizes Birthers “Birthers.” Yes, even President Obama himself: Why Was Obama a Birther Until He Decided to Run for President?

Treacher’s tweets today are bizarre and childish, as usual:

@silviobreckman Obama was born in Hawaii. If you have proof to the contrary, Birther, let’s see it.

@silviobreckman Because you think Obama was born in Kenya. Prove it, Birther.

@BigPapa1849 @silviobreckman Whatever you say, Birther.

@BigPapa1849 @silviobreckman Prove you’re not a Birther, Birther.

@BigPapa1849 @silviobreckman If you want me to stop calling you a Birther, all you have to do is ask, Birther.
