Open Thread: Why, Free Republic, Why?
by Latoya Peterson

So here I was, blissfully disconnected from politics for the week, working on upcoming content for September, when Anna from Jezebel emails me this:
The fine Real Americans at the Free Republic have found Obama’s achilles heel: his Long Dark Staff of White Insecurity.
hoosiermama:
The only other thing that hit me was that Sinclair said BO was not circumcised. When my son was born in a hospital that was done as a matter of routine without even consulting us. Would the same be for Hawaii? OTOH People born at home or in some other cultures are not circumcised.thecodont:
A relative of mine was born (in a hospital) a couple of years after BO’s alleged birth date. He was circumcised also (as a matter of routine, not according to any family request). [...]MHGinTN:
You might want to make that call to a Canadian hospital …MHGinTN:
No…it would have been in Kenya….not Canada.
They really want to perform a dick check on the President.
See, I was just going to ignore this, figuring that foolishness of this caliber just could not continue.
But then again, that’s what I thought about the birthers.
