The "birthers" are primarily made up of America's dumbest, most backward citizens. They exist for our continual amusement and mocking.  ;D

I gotta say I'm pretty shocked at the coverage this issue is getting on MSNBC.

between 50 and 80% of repubs believe he's a foreigner.

MSNBC is addressing the topic in depth, 2 times an hour, and saying the same thing every time.  "the crackpot conspiracy theorit nutjobs..."

They're actually lending some credence to the concept, they look desperate.

"Desperate" about what? Do not agree at all. As I stated previously, these people are a continual source of comedic entertainment. And if 50 to 80% of repubes actually believe this nonsense  :o , that is highly newsworthy.

If you watch cable news all day, of course you'll see the same stories repeated. Try watching something else or turning off the tv and reading a book at some point during the day, 240.  :)

58 percent of Republicans either think Barack Obama wasn't born in the US.
Have you seen the 'town hall' meetings?   Several times in the last week, they've broken down into 'birhter rallies'.

I think it's silly.  But the organized precision of the media to put this theory down is hilarious. 

I do a lot of reading.  My comment was about the organized attempt to shit on this theory, instead of just ignoring it as the silly thing that is is.  Twice an hour, all day long, we hear about how wrong these birthers are.  For 2 weeks now.  it's a lie, we got it.  why keep harping on it?

ah, what's the poll from this week - 58% of repubs either aren't sure, or don't believe it.

It's obviously silly, but it means that 1 in 2 republicans actually doubt his citizenship.  Watch the news, guys.  it's been on nonstop, this silly poll.

And if you have seen video of these rallies, particularly in the south, you'd understand.  Hundreds of loud idiots screaming "he's a fuuuurrrrigner!!!'

Poll: 28% Of Republicans Are Birthers, 30% Undecided

Poll: 28% Of Republicans Are Birthers, 30% Undecided
By Eric Kleefeld - July 31, 2009, 9:09AM
A new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll finds that 77% of Americans believe President Obama was Indeed Born in the United States, with only 11% saying he was not -- but there's no clear verdict among Republicans.

Among Republicans, it's a much weaker plurality of only 42% who say Obama was born in the U.S., with 28% saying he was not, with a very high undecided number of 30%. Among Democrats, the number is 93%-4%, and among independents it's 83%-8%.

This means that for Republicans to openly admit that Obama is indeed a natural-born American citizen, they risk alienating a significant chunk of their loyal base. And on the other hand, they could scare away independents by humoring the tin-foil hat crowd.

Late Update:: Another thing to point out is that Birtherism is heavily concentrated in the South. Only 47% of Southerners say Obama was born in the United States, 23% say he was not, and 30% aren't sure.

i hate to tell you, but a TON of repub congressmen are scared to piss off this 'birther base'.  look at their answers.  They are scared to commit to saying Obama was born here. 

I think you're underestimating just how many nutjobs think he wasn't born here.

You don't need to disprove something that someone pulled out of their rear end.  I'd want to see the underlying data and how the poll was conducted before giving it any credence whatsoever.

No wonder the left-wing media is running with this.  it makes obama look like gold and the far-right look like sore losers.

so lets take that 100 ppl sample size and see its % size of the population

100/55068 just for you 240 i know math or logic isnt your strong point and you get .00182 rounded up.

this comes out to .182% of the population size...hahahahahahahahah ahahahah fuking idiot like I said bro youre dumber then dog shit and I prove it time and time again...LOL usually its just not this easy  ;)

Polls are always just samples.

How many people are polled during one singular poll during a Presidential Election vs. the number of people who actually vote.

I'd bet it's about the same percentage.

well thats assuming the only polled registered reps, which again we dont know b/c the reputable ppl at research2000 didnt state the paremeters of their poll...who knew right  ::)

If they did what I suspect and simply asked and took the first 100 ppl that said they were a rep then the population size would be much much greater...and the % much much smaller...

How else can you determine that a someone is a Republican if they aren't registered?

I guess I see what you're saying, but in reality, the percentage is still probably about the same as a sample from any other poll conducted.

you simply ask when you call them or distribute the paper again the reputable ppl at research2000 failed to state the parameters of their research so this is up in that air...

I would like to know how it was conducted and the exact question asked as well as the parameters of this research so i could rip it apart as well. Most ppl have no idea how easy it is to unintentionally skew a poll let alone intentionally...

most zogby's use 1010 as the magic number to get the input of 305 million americans.

So 100 people as an evaluator for (305 million x 21 percent) might be a little low, but not that much.

bump it up to 200 and it would actually be accurate.

You know, when I started following this about a year ago, I thought Obama was born in Hawaii and was a U.S. citizen, just not a "natural born Citizen" due to his father not being a U.S. citizen. Now, I believe it is more likely that Obama is an illegal alien born in Kenya than just a plain ole U.S. citizen born to one U.S. citizen and one foreign national on U.S. soil.

Otherwise, what does Obama have to hide? Just release the docs and end the speculation. Maybe Frank Marshal Davis is the babydaddy and Obama IS a natural born Citizen.

the issue has taken a lot of steam away from the right-wing anti-healthcare message.

between clunkers and birthers, healthcare is getting less attention.

obama is probably happy about that.  Rich repubs complaining that too many poor people are getting $ for their cars?  How's that playing with moderates?  ;)
