83. I've been absolutely outraged and disgusted by the Birther 'Joke'
Mon Aug 27, 2012, 11:57 AM
Aug 2012

and all the implications of it- Chris Mattews' response to it is the ONLY appropriate one that I've seen! It is THE Only appropriate response to such a disgusting and irresponsible tactic by a Candidate that wants to represent the United States of America.

It is a SHAMEFUL moment in history and for the republican party.
