So sorry to hear about your decision that the Constitution and Obama’s eligibility is a distraction. A distraction from what?
I once knew a person who was unable to walk and chew gum at the same time apparently that feat was too distracting for him, he had a narrow one track mind. He also could not drive a car and listen to talk radio at the same time, it was too distracting for him. He exhibited his lack of ability to multitask in all aspects of his life. He was a liberal who wanted the government to take care of him and he never questioned authority. He seemed happy with his limited abilities and didn't even realize his handicap. I guess ignorance is bliss. He was succesful in his own mind but others saw him as a tranquil slave to authority who would have fit right in in the movie Idiocracy. He would have been a fine lemming for the Nazis or current Commies. Most Freepers are not so limited, but it appears some are.
Hard to mount a cohesive offensive when a quarter of your ‘troops’ are practicing walking and chewing gum at the same time.
And it isn't so much that you are “walking and chewing gum at the same time” as the fact that what you are walking towards is an ambush laying in wait for you - chewing your gum like a cow chewing its cud - and just as obliviously.
Palin said it was “a distraction”. She was correct.
Now eat crow and like it.
It was that they insisted that anybody who didn't join them in chawing down on a big stick of gum and going for a walk into birtherland was an enemy of the Constitution and to be disparaged, called a traitor, their allegiance questioned, called an “Obot”, etc.
Clearly the birthers had a lot more on their mind than just going on their merry way chewing gum and tripping all over themselves. They wanted us down in the dirt and mud with them and Orly Taitz and Trump and all the other filthy little piggies.
