It doesn't take a genius to understand that birtherism is all about racism. But now that real (?) people (the republican darling, trump) are going forward with this garbage, it is time to call them out. every single time they say it.
Has anyone ever noticed that the case for birtherism is always about the response? In other words "why doesn't he produce the birth certificate" (he has), etc.
But the one thing that has angered me in all this is no one asks the obvious question of the trumps of the world: Why are you asking for it? What information, what single iota of data, has led you to question the citizenship of the president of the united states anyway? Why does he have to prove anything? Why do you only ask the question of the black man?
AGAIN, WHY ARE YOU ASKING THE QUESTION TO BEGIN WITH?
If there is anyone who should have their citizenship questioned, it is you, birther. Why do you hate America? Maybe it's your treasonous calls for secession, or your condemnation of the democratic process whenever you lose.
But the bottom line is -- we have American troops who are putting their lives at risk every single day. And you are attacking their morale, attacking their confidence, by suggesting that the Commander in Chief is some sort of Manchurian candidate, an illegal President.
Then, when members of the military are in harms way in Libya, you ignore the risk they are taking and hammer Obama, saying he should have...whatever is the opposite of what he is doing that day.
You hate America. You demoralize our troops. You are a racist.
Unless, of course, you can provide me one bit of information that leads you to question Obama's citizenship OTHER THAN the fact that he has given up on addressing the conspiracy theories of loons who will never be satisfied.
I said that to a guy in my neighborhood who had a "secede'' bumper sticker on his truck (I live in texas) and who had started rambling on about Kenya. He shut up.
