We had one here on FR. He insisted McCain would be disqualified by being born in the Canal Zone. Haven’t seen much of him lately.

It would appear that Mr. Graham is having acute birther anxiety. Why else would he write such a poorly researched article.

Perhaps I am giving him too much credibility. Maybe he is just stupid.

No. The difference is that McCain made his long-form birth certificate available, and Obama has not.

"Birther" refers to people who are filling in the blanks with theories because the definitive documents are not available. Whether the documents lead to conclusions of natural-born citizenship or not becomes a point of fact. Short of the evidence, "birthers" are forced to fill in the blanks with Obama, but not with McCain.

McCain can and has produced a valid birth certificate.

Obama hasn’t/can’t.

That’s the difference.

In answer to the article headline ... I personally am a "birther" for every single candidate across the nation in any given election year who desires to be titled POTUS. Pure allegiance and pure jurisdiction are a Constitutional *requirement* for this office. Those of us who patriotically love our nation are "birthers" no matter who is running. We don't pick and choose who we'll hold to the Constitutional requirements based upon whether or not we "like" a given candidate. That mind-set is clearly unpatriotic, and I might add, liberal.

“Yesterday, Public Policy Polling released results of a poll showing that 42 percent of Republicans nationwide do not believe Barack Obama was born in the United States.”

It has yet to be proven one way or the other.

I rather equate the birthers with the truthers. Both sides have their nut fringe. But the truther nuts require a special kind of bat-guano conspiratorial loonyness!

Are There John McCain Birthers, Too?

Count me in.
