lots of crazies in this country

Poll: Majority of Republicans are birthers.

A new DailyKos/Research2000 poll reveals the shocking news that 58 percent of Republicans sympathize with the far-right birthers. Twenty-eight percent don’t believe that President Obama was born in the U.S., and another 30 percent aren’t sure. The birther sentiment was strongest amongst people older than 60 and people living in the South. Politico’s Glenn Thrush asks, “When do we start a serious dialog about the Birther movement being a proxy for racism that is unacceptable to articulate in more direct terms?”

I had such high hopes for this country once we finally voted in - by a large margin - an intelligent, article, charming president.
But, obviously, the low lying fruit haven't gone away - and they're getting lots of media attention.
