From Birchers to Birthers... an open letter:


Dear Birthers,

… please go away.

At this point, we don’t care whether or not the President can produce a birth certificate and frankly, at this point, we don’t care whether or not he is a natural born U.S. citizen. It’s over. He won. Maybe this was something to be investigated during the primaries but not now. And no, we don’t want to hear how it’s the media’s fault for not looking into this in a more vigorous fashion earlier on. You all knew they were in the tank for the guy from jump street so don’t whine about it now.

This whole thing is such a loser. What’s the end game? That Obama is forced to step down as President? Awesome. Mission accomplished. Now excuse us while we remain holed-up at BwD world headquarters subsiding on MREs and tequila out of our earthquake survival kit while watching a 24/7 two-week run of “The Burning of America” on every single cable news channel with live reports from L.A., Chicago, Atlanta and Detroit. Proud of yourselves? Hey, look who gets elevated from the America’s ribbon-cutter-in-chief to the post of the most powerful man on the planet. And better yet, look who is now promoted to “a heart beat away”. Nice work, children. That was a real service to the country.

And do you think any national Republican candidate would ever again get anything resembling a fair shake from the other side or the media? Take the unhinged savagery unleashed upon Sarah Palin and her family and multiply it by about 10.

When there is plentiful ammunition provided in the very legislation crafted by Congress to derail both cap and trade and health care reform, you all instead wish to indulge in these paranoid/delusional fantasies that 9-11 was an inside job and that Obama is a crypto-Muslim and thus expend credibility capital on this crap. Proud of yourselves?

Maybe now you realize that elections have consequences and that considering the present alternative, McCain may not have been such a bad pick, afterall.


Just so nothing got lost in the mix and so that we are crystal clear in the sentiments which we wish to convey… go away. Just. Go. Away.

Sincerely,
The editorial board of Beers with Demo

Where did all of this come from? Did someone big get on the birther bandwagon? I thought that idiocy was confined to some nuts on Free Republic.

Hey, when did winning on the battlefield of ideas work out?

'Dawg, if I understand you correctly, you're sore that not enough American voters bought the Republican brand in '08. The brand, my friend, was damaged goods.

I've covered why it is McCain lost to Obama extensively at BwD and when McCain was offered an opportunity to strike out on his own with respect to the advent of Bailout Nation, he fell right in line, instead, with Bush and Obama.

The "battlefield of ideas" was devolved into a gluttony of "Me too".

May I suggest the President got a free ride through school as a "foreign " student, that is the reason this may still have some life. Keep up the good fight, and now I'll go have a beer myself.

GDw, Thanks for stopping by and thanks for commenting.

I stand by my reasoning in my post. In the immortal words of Tommy Lee Jones' character in "The Fugitive", I. DON'T. CARE.

Again, what is the end game?

Stopped by your site and voted "yes", anyway. ;)

As I commented earlier, I only need to know one fact, that the Honolulu Star ran a birth announcement. You cannot argue away that fact and it is too absurd to believe that a conspiracy can reach back in time some 47 years. Case closed.
