Today is President Barack Obama’s 49th birthday, which, since his ascent to the presidency, has become somewhat of a faux holiday for the birther movement, who don’t seem to believe this is his birthday. In celebration, CNN released a poll showing that a quarter of Americans believe the President was not born in America. To Chris Matthews, this quarter of Americans is “the worst kind of citizen.”
Matthews tore into the long-debunked birther movement in his “Let Me Finish” segment today, calling them “the most un-American of people” for discriminating against the President based solely on, as he puts it, “not because of where he was born, but because of what race he was when he was born” (it is to be assumed that Matthews doesn’t mean the 31% of birthers that approve of President Obama, according to a recent ABC poll). He outlined the blatant fallacies in the general birther argument– the fact that we have seen a copy of Obama’s certificate, and the slim likelihood that there were “people around in 1961 who wanted to create this presidency 49 years later, who were determined to have someone who was only about to be born elected to lead this country.” “They know full well the President was born in America,” he concluded, “they just want to destroy him personally.”

OMG...It’s her again. Why can’t she just stay home?
Where’s the birth certificate, Chris?
when you are a racist, in your mind it’s always about race.
I hate it when Tingles is menstruating.
Sounds like an admission that Obama is not who he pretends to be.
Chris Matthews: beware of flying spit.
Barry’s “tingle” has turned Chrissy into a real drama queen.
“long-debunked birther movement”
Oh really? That is news to me.
If anything, it becomes more obvious every day that Obambie was not born in Hawaii.
We need that BC.
Just show us the birth certificate and all this will go away.
Poor, poor Chrissy. He knows better. He’s just trying to distract us.
Gotta watch it with the sound off, though.
Is it definite that Obama is 49 years old?
If Chris Matthews were an honest individual rather than a paid shill, he’d have to admit he doesn’t even know what our President’s legal name actually is.
“They know full well the President was born in America,” he concluded, “they just want to destroy him personally.”
No, they don’t, no one knows for sure. And if “destroying him personally” is what we have to do save our country, so be it.
Chris Matthews is the worst kind of talk show host--he substitutes one-sided whining for reasoned (even if subjective) discussion, and clearly dislikes those who don't share his retarded worldview. And he can't get ratings.
