Last week I noted that it was not out of bounds to tie the birther movement with the town hall mini-mobs; that it was not a “conflation” as Politico and others claimed, as they tried to ding Democrats for bringing the birthers into the town hall story.

And guess what? This week the good folks who attended the town hall forum hosted by Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) pretty much proved my point when they roundly booed Specter's rather obvious observation that the President of the United States is “an American.”
