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.

Wow! I'm glad there is someone out there who knows the difference bettween what white people say and what they are thinking! This guy has God-like qualities.

OK Mr.Pitt, I'm thinking of a number. I'm going to tell you a different number. Can you please tell me what the number I was really thinking was? That, and I swear I left my car keys on the kitchen table. Can you tell me where I really think I left them?

Anyone who calls Obama “black” is showing racist tendencies....totally disrespecting his white mother.

Obama is a mulatto.

They never stop, do they? I’m 58 years old, blond hair (what’s left of it), blue eyes with three second cousins who are blacker than stovepipes and welcome in my home anytime.
This writer is just a compliant fool incapable of an original thought in his racist skull.

This guy is an idiot. FoxNews barely wanted to touch this issue and just because Rush had questions about this didn’t make him a “birther”. Most who questioned the president’s eligibility wondered why Rush and others wouldn’t make a bigger deal out of it.

No, Mr. Pitts. Enough of the race card. Your idol made this an issue by first producing that fake COLB and then he took two years to produce this new document that some believe is also fake. There will still be questions because your industry, the media, didn’t perform due diligence and give him the same kind of examination that they gave Sarah Palin and all Republicans. Your colleagues could spare 30 dumpster-divers to send to Alaska but they couldn’t find one or two to do the same in Chicago? Nonsense! If there are questions about this man, your idol never cleared them up. Why won’t he release his college records like every other WHITE president has done? Whining “racism” only makes you and everyone like you look foolish. If it was good enough for white presidents, Mr. 0bama doesn’t get a pass because of the melanin content of his skin.

Leonard has a niggardly attitude toward the Constitution and obeying law.

But having an excuse has become so comfortable.
And of course, racism is the GREAT excuse.

They’ll never give it up.

Who would want to spend $8 to spend an evening with this silly fellow? If he received the Pulitzer Prize, I would hope that the Pulitzer family is upset.

On the other hand, his piece does illustrate a form of paranoia that might be of clinical interest to someone studying paranoia. To people interested in having a President with rooted American values, his piece offers nothing whatever of consequence.

And by the way, while he is running after a cause, he might be better advised to look more closely into the background of Obama's purported father.

Leonard Pitts has mastered the fine art of writing racist stuff that libs and many indies just lap up, while cultivating the misperception that he himself is a non-racist.

He reminds me of the fundamentalist preachers who beg for money in front of the cameras, then order up a hooker or two for the night.

Pitts just proves once again that he is a hammerhead. We’ll give Mr. Pitts a polygraph, and ask him if we was going to call any critic of Obama a racist no matter what they said. I’ll bet my mortgage that the answer is yes. Just another affirmative discrimination nitwit.
