And, before we even get into whether or not the Birthers are hypocrites, when did their "movement" come to the fore? summer 2008. And, it started with the PUMA's. And the Democrats quickly distanced themselves from such claims. Who was it who embraced it full force and used it as their mantra ... and still do? I know who use it, and at the end of my post, I acknowledged that they may still be hypocrites, but, for now, they are simply just wrong. I'm not a Birther. I disagree with their claims. I don't consider Obama anything other than a natural-born US citizen. Did you see where I discredited the Democrats because it started with them? Know why? Because, to me, it didn't matter. It started with the PUMA's. They were wrong. The Birther Movement took over, and they were and are still wrong. We know where it started. Its been discussed before. The woman who pushed the issue was Linda Starr.. or Linda Sue Belcher. Its quite an interesting story. http://opengov.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Where-s-Linda-Starr-the-Inventor-of-the-Birfer-Story/7665-4049 The thing is, though, I made no mention of the Democrat Party, but you felt compelled to defend it. Instead of agreeing with what I posted - since you have yet to make any assertion that I was incorrect on anything in that post - you had to come back with something other than what was stated. Now, I admit to my fair share of tertiary discussions, and you have to admit that I get my fair share of criticism for those tertiary discussions. You want to take this route and discuss the beginnings of the Birthers, go ahead. I had no interest in who started it, or why, just when it was started. Is it hypocritical for you to defend the Democrat Party when they were swift to distance themselves from the Obama Birther shit, yet don't defend the Tea Party for distancing themselves from the "teabagger" moniker once they found out it had an offensive - to them - connotation? Probably not. (Edited to fix a formatting error.)
