re: #98 SixDegrees

I’m sure you’re correct that such feelings aren’t universal. But for a whole lot of people, the whole nirth certificate thing is precisely equivalent to “He’s not one of use,” and just a short hop from there to even less pleasant equivalencies.

Groups like Stormfront are all over this and are promoting it like crazy - not because there’s any hope at all of having 0bama removed from office, but because it fits so snugly with their overall agenda, and because it only takes the smallest nudge to shove someone from nirtherism to overt racism if they’re not already there.

Conclusion; some birthers are racists, some aren’t… life is complex!
