    OK, who taught them the word "usurper"?

    Is that lawsuit referenced at the bottom ongoing? I seriously cannot comprehend that our president is forced to spend any amount of energy or resources refuting these claims. Sad.

    I gotta go Breitbart, if only because beating up on the birthers is a little like beating up on that "slow" kid down the street. Plus the obvious attention-grabbing ploy of using monkeys is an instant disqualification. I mean, c'mon you ninnies. At least throw a noose or something in there to up the outrage factor.

    "How can a person who is born a British subject be president of the United States?" Because he was born in America to an American citizen mother. Guess who else was once a British subject: George Fucking Washington, shit-for-brains. Please remove your stupid DNA from the gene pool and if you don't like the US of A you can Git tha hell Out!

    Fucking denigrating. I can't stand this kind of bar-lowering claptrap.

    This is the exact sort of thinking that fuels UFO conspiracy theorist garbage. I mean, the Egyptians couldn't have possibly built the pyramids and all those great monuments, right? But they're there nonetheless.

    And we couldn't possibly have a strong, intellectually gifted black man as a President, so it's gotta be a big ol' conspiracy going back more than six decades, right?

    NO. Egyptians built the pyramids, Oswald killed Kennedy, and our president is an AMERICAN.

    Andrew Breitbart merely sounds like he's got the stick from his high horse wedged far up his ass.

    @MissNormaDesmond: I think the birther ad is pretty blatantly dishonest as well, since it seemingly ignores the Fourteenth Amendment's definition of a natural-born citizen and cites to the "Law of Nations" (?!) instead. Can they really be THAT bone stupid? Okay--yes, they can, but I think this ad is a cynical and dishonest means of hoodwinking the bone stupid.

    @Atilla the Bun: I don't buy that. I think that Birthers may be trying to convince themselves that Obama's not a "citizen" and therefore "can't be president," sure, but I also think that's a reaction to a black guy becoming president in the first place. They know he won the election and they know he's a citizen, but they'll fight him to the bitter (and sad and really fucking crazy) end.

    @Atilla the Bun: I always picture Bill O'Reilly going home at night and just laughing his ass off. Same with Beck and Limbaugh. They all remind me of Dusty Rhodes in A Face In The Crowd. I'm sure they look down on the idiots who believe in their crap. They probably go home and say to their unfortunate wives "can you believe these idiots keep voting to cut taxes on my rich ass? Christ, they're too stupid to even vote for their own interests."

    @muppet_baby: I absolutely think race is a huge factor in the birther movement; if Obama's father was an Irishman, it wouldn't be an issue. But racism and stupid aren't exactly mutually exclusive character traits; I think there is a lot both going on.

    @ParahSalin: I know I'm over-commenting here but...I so agree with what you are saying. Beck, Hannity ad Limgaugh all strike me as snake-oil salesmen/charlatans/actors. A friend of mine who shares my "leftist" political beliefs laughs at me when I get my hackles up over these guys, because he says "you know it's just political showbizness." The problem is that there are real, live, impressionable people out there that don't get the distinction. And the fact that some of those people are my parents makes it personal to me. My parents honest to god belive these people. They don't have any kind of irony or cynical filter when it comes to FoxNews. And it sickens me to see two otherwise good-hearted, pretty smart (though not "wordly") people fall for this shit.

    @Atilla the Bun: My parents drank the Republican Kool-aid with gusto, but they never watched Fox News. It kills me that Fox News and the Republican overlords have hypnotized the low information voters of this country into believing that tax cuts on the rich are the political equivalent of magic beans. It's sad that most middle class people believe this country can't make healthcare affordable because it's so crucial that the Riches only pay 35% taxes. I understand that when you're making $100 million dollars a year, paying that extra $15 million in taxes would be a hardship, but the alternative is that we become a third world economy. The people who scream the loudest about patriotism will just leave after they've finished destroying the rest of us.

    Can't affirmative action apply for advancing either race or sex? So, by argument couldn't Ann Coulter's comments about requiring affirmative action to get a "paper hat" job apply to herself, but I guess she is too smart to see that one coming.

    Also, as a proud paper hat jobber, I take offense at Ann's comments . I cannot wear any other material than paper because I am allergic to felt or cloth when I wear my hat for work.

    @watson2001: I've read what Ann Coulter calls her "writing." If it weren't for the time-honored affirmative action of hot chicks that put out getting whatever they want in life, Ann Coulter couldn't get a job writing up the yard sales column for the local weekly gazette.
