The End of Birthers

Anderson Cooper more or less calmly and methodically takes down a birther. The birther in question seems like a good guy in the sense that he's well spoken and apparently served his country with some distinction. However, its arguments like his, and willfulness in holding false beliefs in the face of facts like his, that lead me to conclude that birthers are simply racists who are looking for any thing at all on which to peg the ideas that President Obama is "too different", "unamerican", "not like us", all of which really amount to the fact he's not a caucasian male.

 

 

At any rate, this is the last post on the subject you'll see from me.
