They’re Back! (Birthers Redux)

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the rational political waters…

Having earlier been shamed into hiding by the actual existence of the President’s birth certificate, the Birthers have now re-emerged with a new chant. No longer able to hold steadfast to their claims of “He’s a Kenyan!”, a new charge now emerges.

On the day of the Alabama and Mississippi primaries, the big news of the day had nothing to do with the surprise victories of Rick Santorum.  The real news was the Public Policy Polling results of GOP voters from those states:

.

“Do you believe that President Obama is a Christian, Muslim, or are you not sure?”

Mississippi GOP Voters:            Alabama GOP Voters:

Muslim……….52%                        Muslim……….45%                              

Christian………12%                       Christian………14%

Not Sure………36%                       Not Sure………41%

.

Come on, guys! Are you kidding me? A practicing Muslim? Is this really the best you can do?

Do you really want to be associated with those that can only be characterized as either morons or bigots?

There are a host of very defensible reasons why you may not like – perhaps even detest — our President. And nearly all of these reasons fall into the broad category of “reasonable.”

What happened to honest, conventional and intelligent criticism? You know, the “he’s too liberal… too inexperienced… inconsistent… apologetic…professorial… fiscally irresponsible…wrong on foreign policy…damaging to our values…etc.”

Obama the Muslim?

Really? You’ve got to do better than that.

Please.
