One thinks of rats scurrying off a sinking ship.
Meaning the new exodus of birthers from birtherism. Fox News now says in a blog post that it hardly pushed the birther issue at all. Wonder how folks got the idea Fox did that? Oh yeah: by watching Fox.
And Rush Limbaugh says he warned people this was a dead end. This is the same Limbaugh who recently said there were legitimate citizenship questions about President Obama.
Granted, some on the right were starting to distance themselves from this absurdity even before Obama finally released his long form birth certificate last week. Witness Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoing a bill that would have required presidential candidates to provide proof of birth. Perhaps the few remaining grownups on the right begin to fear the effect of being defined by cartoon characters and cranks.
But let us not dismiss the birther imbroglio without calling out the bigotry at its core. Yes, that word will bring howls of protest from people who will declare that race had nothing to do with their demands for Obamas original birth certificate.
And I believe them. Or at least, I believe they believe what they are saying.
Thing is, bigots do not usually stand up and say, I am a bigot. They hide this from themselves, much less from you or me. Indeed, Mel Gibson, last heard telling his girlfriend she would be raped by a pack of effing N-words, just said in an interview that he is not a racist.....

Another silly anti-whtie racist allowed to spew venom by the so called mainstream media.
Should be corrected to read...President while 1/4 black and 100 percent not a natural born citizen!
Hey Pitts....I dislike his WHITE half policies just as much as his BLACK half policies.
IDIOT!
My problemS with Obama have absolutely NOTHING to do with the color of his skin.
What I absolutely cannot understand is how this racist pig earns a living!
His writing is not worth a warm bucket of spit!
What else I cannot understand is why the Florida Tiny Union (thank you Billie!) continues to publish his drivel!
ATTENTION, RACIST PIG! WE LOATHE PRESIDENT OBAMA BECAUSE OF THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER, NOT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN!
Obama is NOT BLACK. He is at least half WHITE.
I find there only one thing too: Leonard Pitt demagogue.
Mr. Pitts may well be too stupid to know that he is a racist. Oh, to be as blissfully ignorant as Leonard Pitts! Life could be so simple.....
Leonard Pitts is guilty of writing while stupid. He’s a repeat offender for sure.
“I believe they believe what they are saying.”
It’s amazing the way the left can alway devine what the other side is thinking - even though the other side may not know that’s what it is thinking.
Hmm, that’s extremely interesting in view of such names as Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, Herman Cain, Michael Steele, and Allen West - all of whom just happen to be Black (and, by the way, have legitimate birth certificates).
The Obamanites don’t have an ounce of objectivism or integrity to share.
RACISM: Because if you call it anything else you might have to debate it.
The Race Card is the only tool in Leonard’s bag.
I see that overrated, pompous shrimp Bob Costas is showing off his progressive cred once again by showing racist favoritism toward blacks.
So glad this east coast dyed in the wool lib is out of St. Louis, and back among his own kind. I’m thinking Traitor Kerry must be a pal....
Even if all the birthers are stone cold racist, that has nothing to do with Obama’s eligibility. Racist birthers will not transform a fake multilayered BC into a real one.
Another whining about being Black article.... boring.
So, because a guy who uses the N-word thinks he's not a racist, that means that people who never use the N-word, don't care about color and would have had the same questions if Obama's dad was from Stockholm are definitely Klan-loving bigots.
Man, this guy is a bigoted moron. Moreover, how in the world do you go to work every day thinking, "It's my job to write about race, just race and nothing but race." Giving him a Pulitzer is like someone who can only sing one note winning American Idol. The sad thing is, he probably thinks he's way smarter than Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, etc., because he knows how to write about one thing endlesssly and they don't have the sort of laser-like focus he does.
