Online Birthers Are From The South

Sorry kids but it won’t rise again.

A look at Google Trends is certainly illuminating. The top ten states where people are searching on the phrase ‘Obama birth certificate’ are:
1. Louisiana
2. Mississippi
3. Colorado
4. Oklahoma
5. Alabama
6. Tennessee
7. Arkansas
8. Missouri
9. South Carolina
10. North Carolina

North Carolina is the only one of those states the President won in 2008, and it was very close. He won Colorado too, my bad. Still…

    Except for Colorado, he won that one too. I guess Tancredo is picking up the slack.

    “How is Texas not on there?”

    They were all searching on “Osama berth sertifikate.”

    (OK, I know that’s a cheap shot…)

    Not surprised to see Oklahoma there near the top. They have given us Tom Coburn and the other moron, Inhofe. Even the Democratic reps are blue dogs. It’s an entire state of Fox viewers, with every county going for Palin in 2008.

    It’s just a substitute for saying what they REALLY think.

    The difference is, those people are outliers in the Democratic party. The GOP stokes the racist stuff.

    Yes. The Dems have a lunatic fringe. The GOP has a lunatic mainstream. I’m still searching for the GOP’s non-lunatic fringe. Theoretically it may well exist. Somewhere.

    There’s a fair amount of liberals in the areas that actually have internet. The ultra conservatives there use telegraph.

    Malkin moved to CO. I’m sure she had some followers.

    I agree with Zython. Actually, Harris County- where Houston, went Blue. A fair amount of liberals live here. Austin, which is considered outside of Texas to be the most liberal city in Texas, had the largest Ron Paul fanbase in the state. Obama didn’t win in Austin either.
