How to really shut up the Obama 'birthers'
Short answer: Amend the Constitution.
I say this because some of the commentary in reaction to the suddenly
resurfacing movement to prove that President Obama isn't a natural-
board citizen -- fueled in part by filthy-rich average guy Lou Dobbs
-- has blamed the Internet for providing the outlet that hateful,
xenophobic conspiracy theorists don't deserve. In his otherwise funny
and effective column today on Dobbs, The Times' own James Rainey makes
this rote statement: "I often hear from disgruntled readers that they
don't pay attention to the dread 'Mainstream Media' because they can
find 'the truth' on the Internet. Translation: Some blogger will
please them by propping up just about any cockeyed theory that they
hold."
