Strictly as a public service, the mainstream media have long pointed
out that those pesky folks who question where Barack Obama was born are
your typical knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing Neanderthals. You know,
the type of know-nothings who attend Tea Parties and other such sinister
gatherings.
So those deep thinkers must be stunned by the findings of the latest
ABC News/Washington Post
poll, which finds "about a third of so-called 'birthers'
nonetheless approve of Obama's work in office and express a favorable
opinion of him personally." Not only that, but as shown in the
accompanying charts
and questionnaire on ABC News's Web site, "15 percent of Democrats
say they think Obama was born elsewhere, as do 12 percent of liberals."
Democrats and liberals are birthers? Whenever life became
just too frustrating for Chester A. Riley, he'd exasperatingly wail,
"What a revoltin' development this is!" The talking heads at MSNBC, CNN
and other bastions of liberal thought must share that feeling today.
