Never underestimate the ability of a tiny fringe group of losers to ruin everything.
For the last couple of weeks, we've all been laughing heartily at the wacky antics of the "birthers" -- the far-right goofballs who claim Barack Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii and therefore the job of president goes to the runner-up, former Miss California Carrie Prejean.
Also, when Obama was sworn in as president, he forgot to give his answer in the form of a question.
And yet, every week, the chorus of conservatives demanding to see his birth certificate grows. It's like they're the Cambridge police, Obama's in his house -- the White House -- and they need to see some ID.
And there's nothing anyone can do to convince these folks. You could hand them, in person, the original birth certificate and have a video of Obama emerging from the womb with Don Ho singing in the background ... and they still wouldn't believe it.
Which raises the question: Why, in this country, is it always the religious right that won't take anything on faith?
So far, the reaction from Democrats is to laugh this off, and I understand why. If you seriously believe that President Obama is an African sleeper spy, get out of your chat room and have your house tested for lead.

The a-hole needs STFU
There are a few who I would personally view as nuts. But they are few.
Most are simply not being intellectually honest or consistent. This is a very easy trap to fall into where the issues involve very, very strong emotions and beliefs.
We've all been there.
We'll all probably be there again someday on some other issue.
Never underestimate the ability of a tiny fringe group of losers to ruin everything. ... Perfect definition of the demcorat representatives in Congress plus the ‘one’ crapping in the Oval Office bathroom.
So “generally mistaken,” or “nuts” equals “not having faith in Obama.”
Are you beginning to understand the mess you’ve gotten yourself into?
Those who had/have ‘faith in Obama’ probably happily voted for him thinking a rabid but inexperienced leftist could be a successful President.
I have no faith in Obama to do anything other than make all the wrong decisions.
I’m trying to get you to understand that critics of “birthers” are confused.
The failure to release documents is a fact. Calling attention to it is neither mistaken nor anything else critics are yelling about.
You’re trapped, and so is everyone else in your camp, from Ann Coulter to Bill Maher.
Well it could be stopped imediately if Obama would realize all of his reorceds but for some reason he;’s rather keep them all hidden so all of these questions keep being asked. When exactly did it become a crime in America to ask questios of it’s leaders?
Well, it seems we disagree.
I suppose we shall just have to wait and see what happens.
LOOKS LIKE WE ARE AT THE FIGHTING STAGE!
STE=Q
Well, in all fairness, the “Get Out Of Cheney’s House” faction turned the debate quite a bit back in ought one.
There are a helluva lot of people in this country who know he probably is technically not qualified to be president, but either think it’s quibbling or don’t care cuz they like him. This reminds me of the “Socks” Burglar National Archives affair.
I expect some people will try some test cases based on refusing to show their BCs to the government on the grounds that if the man occupying the white house didn’t have to, neither do they.
If it’s not required for the president, it’s not required for you.
WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AND TO DEBATE ANY ADMINISTRATION!@!@!!~!~!~~!!!~~~!!!!!!!
He really looks to me like old Hugh Hefner, I bet he was born in that Playboy mansion whorehouse, and why he has the job he has today.
this is their mantra, they all have orders to keep repeating it
And we are all white racists
Why? Answer: Judge Carter in California and Major Cook in Georgia!
Allan Keyes case will soon be heard by Judge Carter ( a Marine who served in Viet Nam). Judge Carter has said that the facts of the case will be heard, and he will not consider any petitions for delay or dismissal.
In Georgia Major Cook's orders to deploy were rescinded hours before his court hearing. To have orders rescinded is highly unusual and has implications for their entire military. I suspect Obama and his gang are feeling rumblings from the members of the military.
The sudden rash of article trashing the birthers is a move to inoculate the citizens against what is bound to come soon.
"And we are all white racists and domestic terrorists"
