   @benfell @zoowar I never understood how the "foreign-born Marxist Muslim" thing ever got going. Besides the kind of birth cert that was readily available, there were birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers. Was his family supposed to have planned his election since the #1960s and not have had the foresight to actually let him be born in USA? #bizarre and #stupid, IMO.

     If I recall correctly, that was the substance of the defense against the birther allegations until Obama released the long form.
     
     I guess what we'd have to say is that birtherism was always an obsessive--not in any way rational--challenge of Obama's origins, which in my mind, is as convincing a display of racism as one can find.
