re: #12 reine.de.tout

At this point, I’m absolutely convinced that the Birther insanity is being perpetuated by barely concealed racism. These are people who just can’t stand the idea that a black man has been elected to the presidency, but they have a vague sense that it might not be OK to come right out and say that. So instead, the suppressed racism is oozing out in this kind of craziness.
