The remarkable poll result was just the latest indication of how the-world-is-flat-type of conspiracy about the president’s birth certificate has thoroughly infiltrated the Republican Party and conservative movement in America, to the point where nearly half of Republicans believe the lie. (Take a bow Fox News.) To the point where half of Republicans don’t think Obama is eligible to hold office.
But note that there were two peculiar things about how the Times handled the revelation....
Plus, anyone being honest with themselves knows this whole line of 'birther' nonsense is just racists freaking the eff out about a black man living in the White House.
Is anyone surprised 47% of Republicans are eager to board that train?
And if so, why?
