One thinks of rats scurrying off a sinking ship.
Meaning the new exodus of birthers from birtherism. Fox News now says in a blog post that it hardly pushed the birther issue at all. Wonder how folks got the idea Fox did that? Oh yeah: by watching Fox.
And Rush Limbaugh says he “warned people this was a dead end.” This is the same Limbaugh who recently said there were “legitimate citizenship questions” about President Obama.
Granted, some on the right were starting to distance themselves from this absurdity even before Obama finally released his long form birth certificate last week. Witness Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoing a bill that would have required presidential candidates to provide proof of birth. Perhaps the few remaining grownups on the right begin to fear the effect of being defined by cartoon characters and cranks.
But let us not dismiss the birther imbroglio without calling out the bigotry at its core. Yes, that word will bring howls of protest from people who will declare that race had nothing to do with their demands for Obama’s original birth certificate.
And I believe them. Or at least, I believe they believe what they are saying.
Thing is, bigots do not usually stand up and say, “I am a bigot.” They hide this from themselves, much less from you or me. Indeed, Mel Gibson, last heard telling his girlfriend she would be raped by a pack of effing N-words, just said in an interview that he is not a racist.....

Speaking of race-baiting bigots ......
you know what? I really dont even care anymore...put up or shut up. Show us one racist statement ever made about his color, -vs- his policy, or STFU
“President while black”
ha...funny
Just the headline made me laugh.
No, I don’t object to his skin, stupid Kansas City Star. I object to his hatred of our country, his hiding of the facts because we should just believe him, his ineptitude, his support of Wall Street banksters, his bailouts, his bows to foreign tyrants, and I can on and on.
Yawn....
Leonard. I thought you knew better.
Uh, NO!
Presiding while Marxist!
THAT is the problem.
As I recall, it was Hillary Clinton’s Campaign that first broached the subject of OBAMAO’s eligibility.
Yo Leonard, get some new pages in your playbook, brother!
The Single Wing went out of fashion long ago!
Well, I hate to say it, but the new COLB is even more of a forgery than the old one.
And unlike the first COLB, this time Obama took responsibility for forging it.
Bit of a distraction with the Bin Ladin hit, which Obama has been playing to the political hilt. But I daresay the Birthers are NOT going to go away. Because Obie still has a forgery problem—worse than ever. Now he can’t blame it on some joker who put it up on the net without his explicit permission.
Sorry Leonard. It’s presidenting while incompetent! BTW add your name to the journalisting while incompetent list you boot-licking hack.
Presidenting while being a no good commie rat saboteur of America. Trying to degrade and destroy the best of America. If Obama was your garden variety white commie he wouldn’t get away with half of what he does
Leonard Pitts is the stupidest and most racist of the affirmative-action Pulitzer winning columnists, even including Eugene Robinson. The local paper used to carry Pitts, but he was too stupid even for their leftist editorial page.
This paper is good for promoting bigotry it looks like.
Hey Leonard,what about Barry’s white half? Oh,I forgot. The black half cancels out the white half. Barry is a black man!
Leonard Pitts Jr. is a one note piano player. Racism! Racism! Racism!
