“Birthers” – A Hysterical Gestation

I began a recurring feature a few weeks ago entitled “Science Can’t Crack Stupid”.  I considered adding the “birthers”, those who believe Barack Obama was not born legally in the United States, to this category, but these people go well beyond stupid into the insane.

This issue, debunked long ago during the campaign by the non-partisan Factcheck.org, has resurfaced as a distraction to mask the fact the Republican Party has no pertinent policy or logical answers of their own that will provide any kind of economic or healthcare cost relief to the American public.  Instead, the hate mongers and obstructionists from the Right have made a call to arms to all their wing nuts to put down their cream of wheat, start cheeking the meds, and take up the cause. 

Remember this poor soul?

 Well, apparently they pulled her daughter away from Jerry Springer re-runs and Jon and Kate.

 If this wasn’t so sadly pathetic, it would be comical.  Ok, I admit I have gotten a few good laughs at their expense.  Once again, the Republican Party is exploiting the least among us for their own agenda, and these unfortunate people have no idea how they are being used.  Funny how propaganda works. 

As the fervor builds among the followers, those conservative hate-spewers of the airwaves are right there to stir the pot.  Fortunately, these entertainers are no more cognitively savvy than their audience.

As I always say, let them keep talking.  It worked for Sarah Palin and her intellect to nowhere, and it will work here.  The lunatic fringe always gets the attention, and in this case of hysterical gestation of a ludicrous conspiracy there is no exception.  These people will eventually get tired and go back to their television sets and will remain blissfully ignorant of the political party who believes life begins at conception and ends at the birther.
