In the past few weeks, we've noticed an uptick in the chatter in the wingnut world about whether President Obama is a native-born American, therefore eligible to be President. The lunatic far right has been foaming at the mouth, deluding themselves that the President was not native-born, and they have some allies in the right-wing media. The usual suspects at Fux and on hate radio are fanning the bogus allegation, despite multiple official confirmations of the authenticity of his birth certificate, and two birth announcements in Honolulu's newspapers in August 1961. CNN's despicable Lou Dobbs insinuated on July 20 that evidence had not been presented about the President's birth certificate, despite his own network's debunking of the right wing smear 3 days earlier. Last month, Rethug Rep. Mike Castle was verbally assaulted by a loon at a town hall meeting, who insisted that the President was "born in Kenya."
Maybe the best remedy, aside from commiting these loons to a psychiatric institute, is laughter, and Jon Stewart has the goods.
