Birthers, Truthers, Race-ers!

By Tony Katz

Recently, I appeared on MSNBC with Contessa Brewer to talk about President Obama, Donald Trump, the birth certificate and its political fall-out.  It was a good conversation, with a very solid back-and-forth in making our points.

During the conversation, Contessa made mention of the popular meme that people are obsessed with the birth certificate because of race.  As the left sees it, if Obama was white then no one would care about his birth certificate.

I then countered with a thesis of my own, which is wholly based on their magnificently erroneous assumption.  If those who question the birth certificate are crazy, and if those who want more information are conspiracy theorists, and if there are those who are completely consumed with Obama’s birthplace, then you could replace the birth certificate with something else and see if the same rules apply.

Thus, I coined the term “Race-ers.”  Race-ers are those people who are completely consumed with race. They are the ones who believe that any opposition to Obama, his policies or him personally, is solely based on the racism of the opponent.  As political correctness exists only to silence opposition, the Race-er uses racism to silence their opposition.  Further, the Race-er sees racism everywhere.  Nothing can be judged on its merits, as the merits (for the Race-er) are simply insignificant.  My colleague at Pajamas Media picked up on this in an article he wrote yesterday.

After the election of Obama, the Main Stream Media spoke in wonderful prose: A black president in America!  Racism is over!  Who knew it would be Obama, and that same Main Stream Media, that would not only keep it alive, but encourage its use as a vicious weapon against free speech and political dissent?

Obama Must Not Win!
