You make the ridiculous claim that "by the numbers [Obama]is primarily white and then black and then Arab....he has chosen to denigrate only one aspect of his pedigree, the white. Arab and black are both treated very nicely."

Given that his mother was white, and had no Arab ancestry, and that his father was from Kenya, with no Arab ancestry, from where do you get (just like that psycho druggy woman from the McCain rally) that Obama is "Arab"?

I love how the same dim bulbs who complain that the media "makes stuff up" (because they don't like the truths that get told) are actually the mopes who are making stuff up.

Obama had a Bud Light, Biden had the non-alcoholic beer. Gates had a Sam Adams and Crowley had a Blue Moon.

Palin's makin' stuff up infected you too?

High praise indeed to have one's reasoning and judgement criticized by a Birther!

Obama didn't teach law at Harvard.

He taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago.

Several states and local police depts have been found guilty of (or admitted) racial profiling in county or state courts. So when you hear some digusting schmuck try to pretend it doesn't happen by saying there's never been a suit by the US Justice Dept, you know he's more interested in the spin than the reality.

Also, racial profiling is a charge that has impact across a department, so you wouldn't charge a particular officer with it--you'd deal with the whole group. There have been many successful suits where depts either were found to have (or admitted to having) written or officially stated policies of racial profiling, or where the statistics were so overwhelming it was clear that's what was going on in practice.

The Truthers were the sad mopes who, all evidence to the contrary, were absolutely certain that the US was somehow behind the 9/11 attacks, or at least knew about them in advance and did nothing to stop them. Crazy, right? Blessedly for those of us in the reality-based community, they went away, or at the very least shut up. Their seat at the sicko table has been taken by the Birthers.

What makes this all the more delicious is that it wasn't that long ago that every one of today's Birthers was seething with righteous indignation about the stupid, unsupportable claims of the Truthers. The Birthers have become just like those they hated so.

It would be interesting to be present when a Birther realizes that he/she is just...

So Obama was sued, and retained counsel to defend himself--in what sludge pit does that constitute an interest in keeping his birth records (which he'd already released) secret?

As the embarassment level rises, and the dissonance grows, you're going to see greater and greater anger about this, directed outwards towards Obama instead of inwards where it belongs. Obama won't have lifted a finger to help these poor souls avoid their shattering shame, and they'll hate him all the more for it.

Some of the lowest wattage posters here keep asserting that Obama has exerted great effort and gone to great expense to keep his Hawaii birth records secret, but no one has ever produced any evidence of that. In fact, he's posted his birth certificate on his "Fight the Smears" web site.

Why the continued assertion of something that's not true? Why the eagerness to be stupid?

Here's some information you can use so you can stop saying embarassing things. (You may not know enough to be embarassed, but at least you can spare those of us who know from having to feel bad for you again and again...)

People such as Bill O' Reilly, Michele Malkin and Ann Coulter are the farthest things from JOURNALISTS. Because they're not journalists, it helps if they anger people, because that only gets them more publicity. The one thing they cannot afford is to lose people's attention. They don't need, or care about, credibility, because if you stay credible you give up the shock value you need for ratings.

Credibility, for a journalist, is everything. Once credibility is lost, the way to make a living is lost. If...

"Geese, what an embarrassment!"

...for being the embarassment you complain about!
