Party identification and racial resentment are perhaps the two most strongly held contemporary political attitudes. But one might protest, no authoritative sources associate Obama with foreign birth. Wrong. The New York Times and other mainstream media are not considered authoritative sources to most birthers, especially compared with many low-level conservative political operatives, or their like-minded social networks.
The NYT is certainly full of themselves! Weren't there a few published articles about a Kenyan-born Senator from Illinois? Perhaps not NYT, but not low-level journalism.
And anyone who considers NYT to be authoritative needs medication, especially when their comments are not provided with authenticated proof. They continue with their racism ploy to discount any objective questioning.
I seem to recall that in 2004, when 0 gave the big speech at the Democratic convention that nominated Kerry, that much of the TV coverage was all about how wonderful it was that a man born in Kenya was now a US senator.
Does anyone else remember that, or am I dreaming?
