Is it a coincidence that the folks “baffled” by the birth certificate nonsense see the racism card as “bogus?” Those that seek to delegitmize President Obama will do so until he is no longer black, just as those who seek to delegitimize Bishop Gene Robinson will do so until he is no longer gay.uffda51https://www.blogger.com/profile/11395027089123943228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-66633016173368589572011-04-28T09:35:08.351-07:002011-04-28T09:35:08.351-07:00Aww, c'mon IT; the racism card is just as bogu...Aww, c'mon IT; the racism card is just as bogus as the birther card.
