I recognize that the libs are very, very sensitive about the BC issue. They have invested huge amounts of time in demonizing anyone who would question the birthplace of Obama. They invented the term “birther” to facilitate their campaign.

And the “birther” campaign has been an overwhelming success - at least up until now.

But when did “birther” become “racist”. Beats me. I’m pretty tuned in and I missed it. Too much time on FR and not enough MSNBC time I guess. I’m sure there’s a connection somehow. Maybe just challenging Obama on any issue whatsoever is racist. Could be.

They are not that upset. Barry has no problem pimping his BC coffee mugs for 22 dollars

Those on the Left don't have a problem even if he IS foreign born. Ideology trumps law.

That's what I was wondering....what does the BC issue have to do with racism? Doubling down on whiteness??????

Here's another article about "doubling down on whiteness"....this time it's the GOP that's doing that. From Aug. 15, Walsh: GOP has “doubled down on whiteness” - Salon.com

My first question, too. A birth certificate is part of the standard human documentation in this country. (Almost) everyone has one, regardless of race.

Are you kidding?

Anything not completely complimentary to Obama is, has always been, and forever will be racist.
