Exhausted from this spring’s tea-bagging, and unwilling to use their brain cells to actully provide constructive opposition to the president, right wingers are on to a new topic this summer: president Obama’s citizenship status. The “birthers” movement, complete with some congressional support, is calling into question the fact that Obama was born on American soil back in 1961 – despite overwhelming evidence supporting Obama’s citizenship – a birth certificate, statements from the Republican governor of Hawaii and the Director of Hawaii’s Department of Health testifying to the authenticity of Obama’s birth records, as well as birth announcements in two Honolulu newspapers.

At what point does the right simply embarrass itself to death? Jon Stewart takes them on – and makes sure that cable news gets what it deserves as well:

Barack Obama’s running the old “Kenyan prince birth announcement” scam. Here’s how it goes: You want to destroy America from the inside, but you can’t – because you’re a foreigner. So first, you gotta find yourself a good old American who’s willing to reproduce with you. Then, you have that child on foreign soil while simultaneously placing the birth announcement for that child in one of our “fringe states’” local newspapers – your Hawaiis, your Alaskas, your Pennsylvanias – you heard me. And then, you wait until this baby is a middle-aged man. Now the trap is set! You just sit back and let that child go out and win the election for President of the United States. Now here’s where the scam gets tricky: they can’t just win the popular vote. He or she must also have a strategy to win the electoral college vote. That’s what trips up most grifters. But if you pull it off, you and your puppet child can just sit back and destroy the fabric of the country that you both hate so much. It’s almost too easy.

Daily Show Goes After Birthers

Southern Poverty Law Center... from www.americablog.com

The SPLC, for anyone who isn't aware, is one of the nation's premiere organizations that tracks extremists such as white supremacists and the Klan. The fact that they're weighing in on this one is very interesting. One thing that I was wondering about, before I read the letter (below), was the "so what?" factor. Meaning, yeah it's absurd to say that Obama wasn't really born in the states, but so what? We won the election, and anyone who is going to be believe Obama isn't legitimate isn't going to believe us any more if we get rid of Lou Dobbs. And in any case, isn't Lou Dobbs permitted to be a bit of an idiot at times (often)? Then I read SPLC's letter. Do read the excerpt below. I did not realize that the birther rumors, like many of the rumors Dobbs promotes, have their origins in the racist right. That is why SPLC is getting involved, and that is a disturbing trend for CNN's Dobbs. An excerpt of SPLC's letter to CNN head Jonathan King:As he has in several other instances, Mr. Dobbs, in taking up the birthers' claims, is adopting an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that originated on the radical racist right. As Gawker.com has reported, this particular conspiracy theory was first developed by an open anti-Semite and circulated by right-wing extremists who cannot accept the fact that a black man has been elected president of the United States. Among its adherents was neo-Nazi James von Brunn, the alleged murderer of a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., this June. Von Brunn had helped spread the birthers' claims on the Internet and attacked the "dishonest & conspiratorial Media" for not taking them up. This is not the first time Mr. Dobbs has pushed racist conspiracy theories or defamatory falsehoods about immigrants. We wrote you in 2007 to bring to your attention his utterly false claim that 7,000 new cases of leprosy had appeared in the United States in a recent three-year period, due at least in part to immigrants. (The real number, according to of...

This is a must-see clip, a terrific sendoff for the wackadoodle Obama-birth-certificate nutjob morons. This is why, now that Uncle Walter Cronkite is no longer with us, Jon Stewart is now the most trusted name in television journalism.
