Freedom of Speech Rules Out Freedom from Stupid 0

It is to be ashamed.

Congressman Castle inadvertently gives Birthers a platform.

The video of the June 30 town hall meeting on health care reform shows a woman toting an American flag and her own U.S. birth certificate asking why people are ignoring the president’s birth certificate. She said Obama is a citizen of Kenya, not the U.S.

The crowd applauded and cheered as she yelled, “I don’t want this flag to change! I want my country back!”

Castle, attempting to correct her, said, “If you’re referring to the president there, he is a citizen of the United States.”

If you want to see the video, follow the link to the news story. I decided not to embed it after inspecting the YouTude poster’s other offerings. We’re talking serious wingnut here.

If Mr. Obama were pink like me, this birther fantasy would be unimaginable–and unimagined.

You know it and I know it.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
