A new low

Pam Geller argues, based on alleged polygamy by President Obama’s father, that he is illegitimate and therefore — well, I can’t even bring myself to type out the non sequitur that follows, so I’ll just paste it:

In 1787, illegitimate children had different rights. There is no way the founders of this great nation intended for an illegitimate child of a foreign bigamist to attain the highest, most powerful position in the new land.

Of all the weak arguments I’ve seen birthers put forward in support of the fantasy that Obama is an illegitimate president, this really represents a new low. It isn’t easy to make me feel sorry for the guy — please, stop doing it.
