re. the above, three comments:
Wow.
Really?
No seriously, you’re joking, right?
I have more than a little to say on this subject (I could practically make a career out of Lou Dobbs, not to mention the cynical, ratings-scavenging scumbags at CNN who continue to let that geriatric ass-lizard spew his ill-wind on the public airwaves during prime time), but being surprised, or appalled at the number of people who endorse this horseshit, these so-called “Birthers”, is like being astonished at the number of people who see starbursts when Sarah Palin is on the screen. It’s unbelievable and it’s very embarrassing, but this is where we are right now: this is America. It’s insane out there, and it would be unbearable (bordering on tragic) if it weren’t so fucking funny. These are actual adults who presumably work for a living, and are capable of forming words, yet they are willing to accept (embrace!) the notion that Obama’s birth certificate is a sham. The only thing, of course, that is a sham is the straw-grasping strategy that these losers are left with. Their party failed them (and the rest of us–thanks for that!) and what we’re witnessing is the adult equivalent of taking the ball and going home. It’s ultimately a rather simple matter of grown ups acting like little kids and the best thing to do with brats when they act up is to ignore them. But since these are adults, who can vote, and exercise their 2nd Amendment rights, this ridiculousness should not be ignored, but actively ridiculed. Often, and loudly. Let’s turn this idiocy into a righteous celebration.
Enter Bill Maher, who continues to do what no prominent Democrat is witty, intelligent or brave enough to do. That is, tell the truth.
Get some Bill.
