There IS racism involved in the Birther and a few other movements.
There... it's out there.
However, to proclaim this as unique or particularly bad is absurd. Bush faced identical Hitler signs, and even had hanging effigies of him, well before the election. The Left even made movies about how lovely it would be if someone assassinated him. Finally, the Truther Movement is identical to the Birther Movement in it's blind distrust and stubborn steadfastness against all evidence.
This is absurd to proclaim how bad the pot is while ignoring (or even embracing) the kettle. There are people even on this thread who are discussing the racism while defending the Truther movement.
In my opinion, we would all be better if the media ignores the ridiculous extremes or at least stop giving them "balanced" coverage like there's something worth reporting.
