Seaton obsessed over the Kochs here and at TPM for awhile. After seeing the Koch/Cato dispute playing out for the third day in my reader, I thought I should alert him. Came here to find him and when I couldn't, your comment was at the top of the list. Congratulations.

Plus someone else on another blog had already irritated me playing the 'white' card. I still do not understand how doing that is not racist as well -- and --I had to respond to your comment anyway.

Even if I concede that all birthers are racist and all birthers are white, it does not follow that all whites are birthers and racist. So will you please stop using it as an insult. It grows irksome and alienates people who otherwise agree with you.

Thank you Emma for this

Thank you Emma for this link.

This non-profit fight is going to be something to see!

I have no idea why Seaton has something to do with all of this!

I do know that the birther movement is mired in racism.

That is a fact!

Apparently, David Seaton isn't around here anymore. Do you want this new ball of string to chase?

You bring up an important subject for sure!

Conspiracy theories abound about yetis, and UFO's and ghosts and JFK's death and ...whatever!

Can you imagine, from the left and the right the amount of weird assessments of a Mitt Romney Presidency that would evolve over the first two years of his Presidency?

He was an anchor baby.

He wishes to make this country into a Joseph Smith nation.

He proffered a new energy bill that only applied (basically, whatever that means) to the states harboring LDS?

Oh I almost forgot.

Mitt is white.

Disregard my previous thoughts!

In reply to Mormonism and authenticity

On reading the above, I recalled that Will Wilkinson had once written something on growing up Mormon. That, in my mind, gives his perspective on Romney added value.
