ace dear, it's a little baffling that you persist in attempting to erase the obvious racism that animates the birthers. it's less baffling that you do so using false equivalences and weak logic. the motivation, though...that's mysterious.
i would wager that you support the birthers because you see them damaging obama. to that end anything goes. but maybe in this case even someone as utterly partisan as you is discomfited by who this anything-goes approach can get you into bed with.
i would be too were i you. racism is an ugly thing.
as for the equation of the birthers with political opposition to george w bush---that's laughable. not even worth mockery. not worth anything at all.
on the other hand, it's refreshing sort of to read you acknowledging the centrality of pandering to stupid people in the activities of gingrich et al. you'd think that would pose a problem for your own conservatism, cause you to question its appeal and examine how you use it.
