Mitt Romney has sunk to a new low, cracking a birther joke about President Obama while at a Michigan rally:

"No on has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised."

Hard to overlook the racial and cultural overtones, painting Barack Obama as a foreigner, an other. If Mitt Romney deserves to lose for no other reason, he deserves to lose for his blatant flirtation with birtherism.

Why is it considered so unfair to go after Mitt Romney for the rather strange beliefs involved in Mormonism, and why is Mitt so pissy over being asked about his taxes, but it's okay to continually (his son's done it, his favorite entertainer Donald Trump's made a cottage industry of it) hint that President Obama is a liar who was born in another country?
