Who coined that term "Birthers?" I thought it meant those Texas Women who

1. Birthers are

RW nuts who think Obama just CAN'T be POTUS because he was born a furriner. He's not a natural-born citizen!

8. Well it's been everywhere and on the Politico and other Blog sites.

Sort of appeared out of nowhere in unison. I thought it was a Freeper thing until I saw so many posts on DU using the same term to describe those contesting Obama's Birth Certificate. It just doesn't fit...in my mind ...anyway, as a description of what the issue is for those RW'ers.

9. Yeah...

I'm trying to figure out what the next "-ther" theory is.

Toothers?
Poothers?
Loothers?
Fruthers?

I miss the days when conspiracy theories were genuinely interesting.
