The Birthers Are Crazy...

I'm sure by now you've heard of the birther movement and how effing stupid it is. But what's truly scary is that I've personally spoken to people who I view as intelligent (in most instances) who are skeptical of Obama's birth place*. I do believe that we need to put this issue to rest, but I don't think the media is doing a good job of doing that... at least not in this example:



The reporters come off just as crazy as the birther lady. They would have been much better taking it down a nouch and let her dig herself in a hole. Instead they immediately go on the offensive and end up sounding a bit ridiculous.



*"A whopping 58 percent of Republicans either think Barack Obama wasn't born in the US (28 percent) or aren't sure (30 percent). A mere 42 percent think he was." [source]

Oh, and in case you haven't heard, the movement has now produced a Kenyan birth certificate. [Love this line: "Oddly, the same people who are so skeptical of Obama's Hawaii birth certificate are willing to accept this new document despite many flaws..."]
