Washington Times Runs Anti-Obama Monkey Birther Ad


ChattahBox)—The Washington Times, a conservative right-wing newspaper owned by Reverend Sun Myung Moon, recently ran an offensive full-page anti-Obama birther ad depicting three images of apes. The ad with racial undertones, says that President Obama is a usurper and a British citizen, under the British Nationality Act of 1948.

As noted out by Think Progress, the ad makes little sense, besides being racially charged:

“The Center for American Progress’ Ian Millhiser points out that if this rule were actually applied to the presidency, every foreign nation would have the power to remove the President of the United States simply by granting the president citizenship.”

2. How far are we willing to let these typed of publications continue without fighting back?
The publication of this POS, makes it look legitamate to many people. This is not an election year and Republicans should not be engaging in this type of tripe.

and giving it a thumbs up in PMs back and forth.
but of course they're too cowardly to come out and be open and honest about how they really think.
