Well, what do you do if you are Mitt Romney and you need to distract the public from your shady business investments as revealed by Gawker, your continued failure to release your tax returns, your vice presidential candidate’s stated position that rape victims should
What’s your problem?
not be allowed abortions, your party platform’s position that rape victims should not be allowed abortions, your vice presidential candidate’s attempts in the house to end medicare, and all those other pesky little issues that come up during a presidential campaign? Make a birther joke!
You can watch it here. Actually, his comic timing has improved and the crowd of imbeciles behind him were howling with laughter and snapping pix on their phones, as if it were actually a funny line, or a political point scored.
I find this very disturbing. Mitt knows the whole birth certificate thing was bullshit. The crowd knows the whole birth certificate thing is bullshit. For years, morons on the extreme right wing of the Republican party have brought lawsuits, have proposed bizarre conspiracies, have run the whole birther thing into the ground, and it is absolutely the stupidest conspiracy theory ever. There is more evidence for Bigfoot, Area 51 and the Loch Ness Monster, than there is that Obama was born anywhere except Honolulu, Hawaii, in August of 1961, exactly as his birth certificate says.
And yes, I’m saying imbeciles, and morons, and a whole bunch of other pejorative terms which mean really, really stupid. Because the whole joke is “Ha Ha, we were stupid.” Seriously, it doesn’t make Obama look bad that your cretinous, petty, ankle-biting trumped up charges hindered him for 3 1/2 years. It makes you look bad.
Same with the teleprompter jokes. Anybody who knows what a teleprompter is knows that that whole line of attack was nonsensical, and yet you persisted. Mitt knew. Mitt uses a teleprompter.
I can argue with Libertarians long and happily. We don’t agree about economics, we don’t often agree about politics and we have a fundamentally different view of the relationship of the individual to society, but at least they have thought about what they are saying.
People who say “HaHa! Birth Certificate!,” or who are considering voting for Romney in November, have the IQ of a vegetable.
