      Joan Walsh hits the proverbial nail on the head in this exchange, ESPECIALLY in the last few seconds of this clip.

      These "birthers" (and the republicans who love them) are despicable.

      But can he prove it? Some nutty cons on this site don't think you can make a good faith assessment of the birther movement. That is, you can't come to the conclusion that racism is involved. Miraculously, you can come to the conclusion that it's not about racism using the same type of deduction.

      It is obvious what this foolishness is about. Have any other President have a brith certificate issue 6 months into his Presidency before?

      The media help drive this foolishness by entertaining these idiots; and they do so believing it will have a negative impact on the President.
      Anybody with common sense knows that when something has been proven, there is no need to revisit it, yet the media does just that. These kinds of pachydermatous people should be ignored.
      What the media needs to do is expose these people for what they really are, RACIST, because this is the reality of the situation. These people who do not accept the truth are guided by hate and ignorance. That is what should be reported. Anything else is an insult to humanity.

      The literacy rate of the areas supporting the birthers,provides them a level of protection.Since the conservatives( republicans) are making such a big deal about reading all bills.The republicans should be given a reading test.Can you prove you can read by denying this garbage.Will you admit you can't read by supporting it.Are you pretending you can't read by remaining silent------------Meanwhile,Hiring people to dig greedy republicans out of caved in racial gold mine.Also hiring bus drivers.

      The racist people who work at Fox continue to play the race card to their viewers. Nothing will get done to fix all the problems America is facing as long as Fox is in buisness.


      Fox gives a platform for all racist to tune into on a 24 hour basis. They must be boycotted.

      It is scary when a CNN anchor joins the crowd.

      A NATIONAL BOYCOT OF FOX NEWS IS NECCESSARY. THEY ONLY REPRESENT HATE IN AMERICA.

      Chris is the man that Bill O wants to be. On the Real, Chris has the class and the argument with the intellect that Bill tries to incorporate in his style. Why has Bill not asked this question? As a matter of fact, I am ready to journal with you boys (AND GIRLS) now!

      This is a matter of race and where the Klan is deeply rooted, you are going to see insurgency and uprising and something short of Apartheid. States will be visited with racial violence and their will be fingers pointed. There will be civil unrest in America and this will not be a winnable war. There is first be an attempt to a merger, hopefully there will be a smooth transition, there will failed attempts for a hostile take over.

      THE LEADERS HAD BETTER GET THIS RACE THING UNDER CONTROL.

      THEY MUST FEEL THAT ONLY THEY MEET. (CRITERIA).

      IF THE REPS DON'T SPEAK TO THAT TEXAS INCIDENT IT IS GOING TO DESTROY THE PARTY, TRUST ME.
      BY THE WAY, WHY ISN'T MEDIA EATING THAT UP LIKE THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE THING?
