Oh.. and as far as using the word "tolerated" goes, yes, I said it, and I'll say it again.
Those who run public forums, in my opinion, should have stopped tolerating the birther nonsense after it became clear how much nonsense they were putting out. Because it is absolute nonsense, it undermines the Constitution, and it makes conservatives look bad. It makes us look like a bunch of conspiracy kooks who can't even read a court case accurately.
Actually, those who run quite a few public forums did make that decision. RedState won't tolerate birthers. Mark Levin won't tolerate birthers. Rush Limbaugh won't tolerate birthers.
Again, you make my point for me. Toleration of dissent is a hallmark of American thought. And yet you come here trying to shut us up and shout us down.
