For your consideration: what a few other rightwing activists have said about the birthers
Presumably, there are mainstream Republicans in Missouri.
If, by chance, there are semi-reasonable conservatives out there on the interwebs, wondering how they might address the fringe elements of their party actively supporting these birther theories, we offer the following clips for your consideration.
Radio talk show host Michael Medved:
Birthers "crazy, nutburger, demagogue, money-hungry, exploitative, irresponsible, filthy conservative imposters" who are "the worst enemy of the conservative movement." He added, "It makes us look weird. It makes us look crazy. It makes us look demented. It makes us look sick, troubled, and not suitable for civilized company."
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, which recently sued to block Hillary Clinton from taking her position as secretary of state:
Fitton said he hadn't "seen any credible evidence Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen eligible for the presidency."
"If people understood better what the law is, I don't think they'd be as concerned as they are," he said.
Conservative activist David Horowitz:
The conspiracy theorists are "embarrassing and destructive"
Just a few things to think about.

Mainstream
From the prominence of the elected Republicans in the "Birther Caucus" and the silence of the others, can we assume that the term "mainstream Republican" in Missouri is a synonym for fringe right wingut?
