The entirety of the hysterical right wing opposition to everything this President does is founded and nurtured by good old, ignorance-based racism. The “afterbirthers” will never, ever be satisfied by any standard of proof the President provides for his citizenship because the President is a Black man, and Black people are NOT Uhmuhricuns! Them darkies don’t worship Jesus like real Uhmuhricuns do! No sir, they practice witchcraft they brought over here from Africa. They snuck an African into the White House, so you can be sure that the next thing they’ll do is get rid of our Christian Uhmuricuh and replace it with darkie paganism!

I really wish I was engaged in hyperbole here, but I’m not. As you know from seeing image after image of the “teabaggers” (nearly all of who are also afterbirthers,) they believe pretty much what I just laid out. They are convinced of what they say, but they are becoming increasinglty frustrated by the failure of their “real American” brethren to get out the white sheets and crosses and drive that African out of the White House, so it appears they are about to go on a new tack; exposing the President’s family as a bunch of heathen witches practicing black (no pun intended) magic.

Let’s have a look at what afterbirther Kristen Atkinson has “discovered” about Obama’s family.

After being mercilessly made fun of by Wonkette, a conservative blogger desperately wants people to take her claim of “African Voodoo” inside the White House seriously.

Over at Townhall, the conservative opinion outlet, writer Kristen Atkinson claimed on Saturday that “The Obama White House is abuzz” over his mother-in-law’s allegedly odd behavior.

(How she knows this? “A close friend of Michelle’s.”)

She goes on to claim that Michelle’s mother had turned to Santeria when her late husband was gravely ill, and that recently, fretting for her health, she’d invited an old friend over and conducted some kind of ritual.

In steps Wonkette, snarky as ever.

This story and all of its quotes are true. Jane Mayer of the New Yorker is one helluva reporter and would never make up something this incendiary. Oh… what is that, Intern Riley?… It’s from Townhall, not Jane Mayer of the New Yorker?… THEN IT’S EVEN TRUER.

Of course, blogger Atkinson has a reputation of factual, credible reporting to defend (wait … does she?) … And defend her claim, she did … In, well, this rambling quaff of a tirade:

I posted a very serious article recently in Townhall.com about witchcraft in the White House, and later realized that your website had made a farce out of it. I saw that your staff and readers made a lot of extremely cruel comments about me and my story. Why are you people so rude? Does anybody take anything seriously anymore?

Do you really, truly, seriously think it is OK for a president to use a forged birth certificate? Do you actually believe it is appropriate for a man who was raised a Muslim to pretend he is a Christian and go to a church for 20 years with an anti-American preacher? Do you really want a president who was brainwashed by communists since he was a child, up through university, to hate America to be our president? Do you think that it is fine if a family member of the president defiles the White House with voodoo? Don’t you know what fate could befall our nation as a result of allowing Satanic forces to gather over the White House?

After 8 years of a president sent by God to lead the American people and rescue us from the horrors of 911 and Islamo-fascists, it now boils down to this? How incredibly tragic. You folks don’t really seem to understand the extreme peril that our nation confronts. Stop making fun of me. Take off your blinders! Wake up!

If God sent us the moronic monkey, then America is as damned as the Rev. Phelps claims it to be. But putting that aside, reflect for a minute on Atkinson’s response. Is this not the prose you’d expect to find in the diary of a miffed fourth-grader? Goddamn, you almost want to call her teacher and tell teach that the poor kid is being bullied mercilessly.

I am seriuosly disturbed that a measurable number of Americans are infantile racists, but the proof couldn’t be any clearer. Yes, Atkinson and her sorority of stupidity are a minority of us, but they are, as I said, a measurable minority, and no way should a society with an educational system worth anything at all be producing such human garbage.
