Obama supporters in birtherism-banner blunder

If Barack Obama carries the key swing state of Ohio in November, it won’t be because he and his supporters know how to spell.

Today, at a Republican rally in Powell, Ohio, an airplane pulling a banner attempted to capitalize on Mitt Romney’s “joke” yesterday in Michigan about not needing to show his birth certificate. The Democrats have responded by accusing Romney of having joined the “birthers,” and the airplane banner continued that theme.

Unfortunately, the supporters who sponsored the banner – MoveOn.org, as reported by a Los Angeles Times reporter onsite – failed to do a spell-check before take-off.

“AMERICA IS BETTER THEN BIRTHERISM,” it read, incorrectly substituting “then” for “than”.

The rally was the first time Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, have appeared together and the last public event before the pair head to Tampa for the GOP convention.

There are far too many people around this site that don't know the difference too.

Hmmmm: "... that don't ...", or, "... who don't ..."?

Just wondering!

I agree. The topic scares them because they know there is something fishy with the BC. I think their lame attempts to shame us into silence are having the opposite effect.

When I have been in a group of mixed political company and the topic has come up, liberals were surprised that they couldn’t shame me into silence by their ridicule. I politely but firmly stated that we have not seen the genuine BC. Sneering remarks about whether I believe he was born in Kenya were met with the answer that I do not know where he was born because the BCs that have been shown in public are fraudulent.

I tell liberals that I don’t know what the facts are and neither do they. They usually are shocked by this. Often they resort to “Everyone knows that...” or “Any rational person would agree that...” or “People who are concerned about the BC are distracting us from the important issues...” or “People who dispute the BC are racists/haters....” All of these are deflections from the the discussion of whether or not Zippy has a valid US BC and what might be on it that he is trying to hide.
