Someone who finds intelligence boring has just accomplished one of my favorite sayings for people like yourself.

“Better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”!

You just keep proving this saying so true for you!

Melody, sounds more like a recipe to be induced into a long nap born of boredom.

From Anomaly to @ya’ll: Did anyone see this birther with a billboard on the Ed Show tonight? He’s loopy. The scary part is, there are quite a few birthers out there, just as loopy as this guy.

Tenn. why don’t you just take a nice long vacation and go talk to Al Gore. He lives pretty near you! You might learn some very intelligent things from one of the smartest people on the planet.

Matt, I don’t like this reasoning but here is the connection to people like this auto dealer. Obama not born here=Obama born in Indonesia=Obama is Muslim=Muslim is radical jihadist=Obama is enemy of America.

They are just deluded. Facts are: Obama born in Hawaii=Obama raised by Christian parent=Obama is Christian=Obama is both American and reigious=Obama qualified to be President!

No one wants to remember that Obama didn’t even meet his father till he was 10. They don’t want to know that he attended a Catholic run school in Indonesia. They don’t want to remember he was also raised by two grandparents from the heartland of Kansas. They don’t want to know that he earned his law degree from one of the best American universities on the planet. They don’t want to admit that he worked with some of the poorest people in the heartland in Chicago and made a great difference in their lives. I know. I worked with CCH who told me of many instances of Obama working with them to help the homeless and the poor.

These right wing-nuts are just totally deluded. Obama is more than qualified and prepared and intelligent enough to be President.

The right wingers can just get over it!

Facts are stubborn things. I also don't get the conflation of "birth certificate" and "jihad." What does one have to do with the other? I guess I'm making the mistake of trying to apply logic to something that contains none.

TN, I should add, it is not telling about your thoughts on race, but it speaks of the reason for your misunderstanding of Janine’s point.

“Janine says: …just look at the caricatures [sic] and the sentiment”

TN, the AND in her comment is important. Your response to it is telling.

I thought you were basing it on the caricatures. In that case, I guess most of these people would be racists also??
