when they take a look at his manhood! O_o
Birthers have now decided that what makes a person a true, blue, red-blooded American is not the color of your complexion but how much foreskin you have.
Commenters (and circumcised Americans) over at Free Republic struck on a revelation yesterday: if Barack Obama has not been circumcised, then he must not have been born in the United States. Why? Because all of their boys were circumcised. The exchange is amusing:
<See Link for full exchange>
hoosiermama:
The only other thing that hit me was that [Larry] Sinclair said BO was not circumcised. When my son was born in a hospital that was done as a matter of routine without even consulting us. Would the same be for Hawaii? OTOH People born at home or in some other cultures are not circumcised.

What is perhaps most disturbing about the birthers discussing Obama's penis is a deeper obsession with black male sexuality. In Nancy Tuana's book, Revealing Male Bodies, she talks about the historic origins of white male obsession with black male genitalia.
THIS is the Republican Base? A bunch of irrational racists who are in the closest which shows through their penis envy?
That was quite possibly the most bizarrely amusing yet offensive thing I've ever read. Dammit, now I'm pissed off. I hope these losers die in 2012 (just kidding).

Please, these are the far right loons, do not confuse them with us. Even people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin rebuke these nuts and tell them they need to shut up. Consider these right-wing extremists with the Westboro Baptist Church if you must lump them with anyone.
Just as there are liberal extremists, there are conservative extremists. o.o
... *face palm* ...
Aren't all Jews circumcised?
Isn't this like saying all Americans are tall?
Did make me lol at work then proceeded to roll eyes at article. XD

Really? I need quotes, and proof of quotes. Stat.
Edit - Not that I don't believe you, but god damn, knowing this will give me an ounce... no that's too much, a millimeter extra of hope in this country, to know that these bastards have some. SOME, bit of rationality in their tiny pea brained heads.

I don't have any proof per se, but I do listen to Sean and Rush frequently and Levin when I work late, and I've definitely heard Sean say something along the lines of they don't have any proof and need to just drop it unless they have actual proof or something. I'm sure I've heard Rush and Mark denounce them too, but I think they ignore them more than Sean, and Sean only mentions them when they get too active. Despite what you think of them, they're not all that far right, well, at least not loony rightists, they just strongly disbelieve in liberalism just like most liberals strongly disbelieve in conservatism.

I know not all Republicans are far right loons. But their BASE is. Just like the Democrats' are bunch of tree huggers suffering from white-liberal guilt. 
No, I assure you the birthers are not the base. Believe me I am very conservative, and the birthers are just a very small percentage of Republicans. Actually, to tell the truth, I'm a conservative first and a Republican second.

See, this is why Media Matters always ends up with egg on its face when they pull this. Because like most detractors of Rush Limbaugh, they either no sense of humor or simply don't care. Out of context? Doesn't matter (some of the more politically-involved might recall how the media lambasted Rush for the 'grandmother-dog food' comments that were made sarcastically).
Behold some examples:
Story #8: Andy McCarthy's Brilliant Piece on Obama's Honesty
RUSH: Oh, that birther thing, you know, the birth certificate thing. Andy McCarthy wrote a brilliant piece on this whole birth certificate controversy at National Review Online. Really, he says, it's not about the birth certificate. It's about Obama's honesty. He hasn't released his law school records, his law review records, his Columbia records, his university records. He hasn't released a lot of things. This thing could easily be shut down if Obama would just release the birth certificate. You remember the Drive-By Media and the Dan Rather business? Dan Rather, faked documents. Mary Mapes and Dan Rather faked documents to show that Bush skipped out of National Guard service, and they ended up giving Daniel Rather an award! They circled the wagons. Peter Jennings and Brokaw, they gave him an award for great work. They circled the wagons.
They made it up, and now, "This is just a bunch of kooks. The birthers are just a bunch of kooks" and so forth, and everybody being told to avoid them and so forth. Obama could shut it down. There has to be some reason he doesn't want people to see that birth certificate. Maybe it's dual citizenship, who knows. But, as McCarthy points out: The birth certificate is not the point here. The point is we have a president of the United States who will not tell us who he is. He spends 20 years in an insane pastor's church who practices black liberation theology, which is basically African socialism, and says he didn't hear what I said. We have a president who doesn't want people to know him. We have a president who wants people to know only the public vision or version that we get when he goes out and makes these speeches with the god reverb and echo behind him.
Story #2: It's the 50th Anniversary of Hawaii Statehood
RUSH: This is the 50th anniversary of Hawaiian statehood today, August 21st. I actually remember this, as a kid. The 50th anniversary. I was eight years old. Hawaii is, of course, famous for lots of things. Hawaii Five-O, grass skirts, leis, the flower necklaces (I didn't mean to confuse the two: Leis and then flower necklaces), hoola hoops. Hawaii actually morphed into Kenya one take in 1961 and then reverted back to Hawaii the next day. It's an amazing place. Hee-hee… That will get 'em. That will just get 'em! When they hear that one, "Oh, no! Limbaugh's encouraging the birthers again!" (And here's Media Matters playing that same clip, just to show you they don't know anything about humor. Link.)
Story #3: Moammar Khadafy: The Original Birther
RUSH: I'm looking for something on Moammar Khadafy because you won't believe this, folks. By the way, Khadafy was the original birther back in -- no, he was -- back in 2007 he predicted that Obama would go soft and deny his Muslim roots and become too white. I found it here. September 2008, it was a YouTube clip, Khadafy insists Barack Obama is a Muslim. "Obama suffers inferiority complex. It might make him behave whiter than the white. He should be proud of his African Muslim identity." Moammar Khadafy, and to me, that qualifies as the original birther.
Given that it's a one minute clip out of a 3-hour radio program, I wouldn't be surprised if it was sarcasm taken seriously (more recent example: people seriously think Rush is calling for resegregation of buses: it's just silly how they actually take it seriously.)
Also, given how Rush has repeatedly lampooned Obama's apparent lack of caring of his brother's poor conditions in Kenya, the satire becomes more apparent.
RUSH: It's not about his party. It's not about his country. It's about him. He doesn't really give a rat's rear end about the Democrat Party, either. It's about him. He's bigger than any of it. "Oh, come on, Rush. You're a little over the top." Oh, really? Obama doesn't give a damn about his own stepbrother still living in a hut in Kenya, a six-by-nine-foot hut! Less than $20 would double this guy's annual income. George Obongo Obango Odingo Obama or whatever his name is, is still living in a hut. Obama hasn't even sent him a sign to put inside: "Hut, Sweet Hut." Hut! Hut! His aunt in this country is facing deportation. He doesn't care! He won't give his brother a nickel, a dime or whatever -- and his poor aunt in Boston, may be here illegally and is facing deportation.
What makes these Democrat hacks in Congress think Obama gives a damn about them? They're only useful to him as long as they're doing his bidding. Otherwise, he doesn't care. Let me ask you something. If you were president of the United States and the news hit that you had a half-brother living in squalor -- living in a hut, a six-square-foot hut with a dirt floor with no air-conditioning -- would you do something about it? Would you at least dispatch the Meals on Wheels program? He hasn't done diddly-squat! He was in Africa, wasn't he? He's been in Africa. I know he didn't have time to visit. He didn't want the photo-op. If I had a brother living in a hut, I'd take care of it before I became president of the United States just on humane principles. For crying out loud, he doesn't give a rat's rear end about the Democrat Party.
