RNC Chair Reince Priebus blames Obama for paying attention to the birth, saying, "...his campaign politics and talk about birth certificates is distracting him from our number one priority, our economy." Such disingenuous talk proves that the GOP and the Republican party are, from the top down, birther-brained.
David Gregory obseverved, on MSNBC, "Chairman Priebus was both high minded and low minded at the same time."
This creates a problem for the birthers. What new, thinly veiled approach to pandering to and encouraging racism will they come up with next?
My guess is that in the coming days, Obama's family will be attacked-- Michelle, their two daughters.
The haters who comprise such a large percentage of the right will find new ways to manifest their hate, their intolerance, their outrage that a black man is president, a black family is in the White House.
The TV shows Obama putting his arm behind Michelle's waist. She's wearing an orange jacket. I watch them, thinking, "how will the bigots spin his touch?" She has a tight fitting print blouse. "How will the haters turn an innocent piece of clothing into something ugly?" You can take almost anything and make accusations around it. That's what they'll do. Even Preibus's accusation is a dishonest, low, not minded, but low integrity response.
To me, the Obama White House's timing on releasing the birth certificate is smart. The adults in the country, particularly among independents, will now see how the birthers and the Birther panderers, like Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee, Michele Bachmann respond. Expect them to stay on message, repeating the meme chairman Priebus has put out, blaming Obama for the distraction.
But also, expect the 2012 campaign to be even more youtubey than ever. Shots of birthers in full florid display WILL be used.
Frank Zappa talked about how stupid is even more prevalent in the universe than hydrogen. The long form Obama birth certificate has eliminated the strange attractor powers of the questions of Obama's birth. Now the stupids, temporarily cast adrift, will be in a strange limbo until the corpstream media and word-meisters and necon think tanks come up with another attractor for them to, like lemmings, glom onto. This will soon come to pass. My guess is that Donald Trump will play a role. The clown gets around.
About the title. I couldn't resist the STFU thought. Making an equation seemed to take some of the edge out of it.
