Politico’s Glenn Thrush on a shocker of a poll done by Research 2000 for Daily Kos: “A whopping 58 percent of Republicans either think Barack Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. (28 percent) or aren’t sure (30 percent). A mere 42 percent think he was. That means a majority of Republicans polled either don’t know about — or don’t believe the seemingly incontrovertible evidence ... presented over and over ... that he was born in Hawaii in ’61 ... When do we start a serious dialogue about the birther movement being a proxy for racism that is unacceptable to articulate in more direct terms? In all 77 percent of Americans overall think the president is actually an American.” Are you proud to be an American, too?
