How else would you explain that some people are closed-minded when it comes to Obama's citizenship, which has been resolved enough times to satisfy a moron, but closed minded in the opposite way when it came to McCain's citizenship?

Because they are morons, not because they are racist. There is no evidence to support that.

There's as much evidence that they're racists as there is that they're morons.

Prove it.

well, that's a good point. But the extreme obstructionism of these people does not, frankly, make sense to me otherwise.

Because they are Constitutional nutcases, not because they are racists. Oh, and they listen to G. Gordon Liddy and Rush on right-wing radio.

if they so believe in the Constitution, why don't they believe in the Supreme Court who enforces it (and who verified Obama's birth certificate and eligibility?)

These people are not expressing discontent with Obama's policies, which would be fine; they are against him, personally, against the evidence. It's like they can't believe that this person of mixed heritage represents the good ol USof A to the world.

(shakes head)

There is no evidence to support that notion.

Maybe not, but this is the feeling I get from their rhetoric. I'll have to think on this some more, I guess.

Cloud · 04-14-2010, 04:54 PM

okay; maybe they're just very persistent garden-variety nutcases

and not the first president to be investigated for not being a natural born citizen either, apparently.

Maybe it's just so incomprehensible to me, that I label these people with the worst thing I can think of. That's probably a mistake on my part.

I think if his father was from Sweden these people would be making the same claim, regardless of his color.

I do not. Maybe I don't have any proof, but I still feel that way. Is that a blonde moment? Dunno, but feel free to blame that, if you want.

I will not blame you for anything. Like I said earlier, I respect your opinion. I only said something because that has become a mantra that Left-wing nuts would wish everyone would adopt. I don't support it. People stand and die on their own merits, regardless of color.

Cloud · 04-14-2010, 05:48 PM

because it was me that made the claim, and Merc called me on it. Maybe it isn't true. Maybe these right wing conspiracy theorist nuts aren't racist.

Maybe.

Conspiracy Theorists know no bounds in race, religion, or whatever. They are everywhere.
