It's to the point where I spend more time pointing out the theories folks actually have put forward, rather than discussing what I think, just because it really sucks when folks who are supposed to be on your side say something ignorant.
Anyways, Legal Insurrection has a post opining on the over-use of the Birther label, and one of the commentators (?) came up with something I didn't think of:
What if Obama's dad's race wasn't listed as Black (or whatever)?
What if he identified as "Arab African"?
As the fellow points out:
So any discussion of birthplace or religion are red herrings at best and more likely active disinformation campaigns, I submit. The real thing he's trying to hide is the detonation of his self-identification as "black". Half-white, seven-sixteenths Arab, one-sixteenth black just doesn't support the propaganda he's put out there for himself.
