Rachel Maddow: Mitt Romney's birth certificate release feeds birther extremism against the President

[ProgressiveEconomist]

Of course! The timing of the release to Reuters just before Romney appeared onstage with Donald Trump at a Vegas fundraiser, couldn't have been more suspicious. The Romney campaign continually denies agreeing with Donald Trump, Orly Taitz, and the rest of those who wage unprecedented attacks on an African-American President, painting him as an illegitmate White House occupier.

But IMO it's more important to watch what people DO, and WHEN, than just to listen to what they say. Would that the romney campaign would be as responsive to press requests for the TAX RETURNS Romney gave to John Macain four years ago.

Have you heard any other news sources make the point Rachel made this evening?

Is the Romney campaign feeding red meat to the birthers. promoting extreme incivility and contempt for a President, and getting away with it in the media?

Here's the Fox "News" coverage of the romney birth certificate story: http://nation.foxnews.com/mitt-romney/2012/05/29/romney-releases-birth-certificate
