We earlier ran this post by TMV coblogger Dalitso Njolinjo about his anger, rage, dismay and hurt as an African-British man in seeing President Barack Obama have to show his birth certificate — and Trump’s and some GOPers’ responses.
Now here is what in effect is Part II: The Onion’s Baratunde Thurston’s You Tube about the birther issue, Obama’s producing the birth certificate — and Donald Trump. NOTE: TMV adheres to newspaper standards in the language on the site. We have waived it only two or three times over the years when it was used in an important video and the language was not gatuitous. This is one such video. So: Advisory. Some adult language.
NOTE: This video is now making the rounds on sites such as The Huffington Post, Crooks and Liars and Oliver Willis.
