There is so much evidence that the president has lied about his birth and other aspects of his personal history, that to NOT be a birther would be wacko.
Doesn't the MSM know that the new standard for journalistic excellence is to be a birther? If they don't like birther, how about being a bonafider? Lets research those bonafides journolisters! How about it? Waiting. . .
The MSM lives in their own bubble, just like career Washington politicians. So no, they do not know. They believe they can create news and fact and stuff it down the populous throats.
Almost every I know is now ‘a birther’. They are high level professional people, some former high level federal officials. They all know that a giant con is and has been underway. This is often a subject at social gatherings and no one laughs it off now. In fact those that did not pay attention in the early stages are now looking for more and more answers.
Like you said - it is now those that are NOT birthers who are the wackos.
