Sometimes I wonder why the Republicans (especially in the South) so often gets pegged as a bunch of backwards racists. Things like this help me remember. Only 42% of Republicans think our President is an American citizen. Amazing. I guess these people can't believe their lying eyes.
Conspiracy theories are like plastic spiders: fake, scary, and essentially harmless - but also impossible to kill. This birther madness will never end. It is going to be their Bush v Gore, except infinitely less legitimate. It is a demonstrably false belief (with creepy xenophobic and racist undertones) that will give any Obama detractor a reason to invalidate not just his policies, but his entire presidency. Sigh.
