Perhaps, those of us who see the birther movement for the absurd march to obscurity that it is, shouldn’t be so quick to want it to go away.

It’s obvious that Mr. Obama is smart enough to know that any response from him on this birth certificate circus, will only fuel the fundies and the fear mongering.

He cannot give it credence.  He cannot acknowledge the absurdity of it.

So, while the idiocy rages on, it keeps the fundy focus off other REAL issues.  Not a bad thing.

The birth certificate issue is only one of the rightwingnutjob agenda bullets.  We have “issues” being presented here like how many assistants and people Mrs. Obama has on staff (yep, that snob who always closes his comments), and other interesting (not) problems they continue to have with the new president.

How can people who call themselves intelligent or sensible or logical in any way, find this birther issue anything but completely absurd?

I find two good reasons for lefties to leave them be… first, because it gets more bizarre as time goes by and second, because it provides some of the most entertaining fodder, since Sarah Palin stepped on stage.

Fight on Birthers.   And remember to follow Taitz all the way.  She’s a hero, that’s for sure.
