Birthers

[Eilonnwy]

I did not say that everyone who dislikes Obama is a racist. I said it's an underlying reason for the Birther movement. There's a big difference. There are people who cannot tolerate that Obama is in office because he is black and this is how they've decided attack it. In the video that I showed you the senator taking questions is against Obama, but accepts that Obama is a citizen. There are plenty of people critical of Obama who criticize based on the issues, and that's perfectly fine. But there are still people who hate blacks and hate that we have a black president. Don't believe me, just watch McCain/Palin rallies, a guy carrying a monkey with an Obama sticker, calling him a Muslim terrorist, or how about that song "Barack the Magic Negro?" The people behind the birther movement are the same people who touted those other things I mentioned.

And just watched Countdown where the go through the whole birther thing, it's a good video and shows how ridiculous this movement is. And their correspondent said, just as I did, that there are racial undertones to this movement.
