Seems that Obama wasn't the first American President to be questioned about his place of birth.
Chester A. Arthur, the 21st POTUS, was accused by democrats of being born in Canada.
One of the original birthers even wrote a book about it!

So for those of you keeping score:
If you accuse a white dude of being born in Canada: NOT racist.
If you accuse a black man of being born in Kenya: Racist.

Tail, really? WGAF? You need to quit fixating about Obama, and liberals. Chester A Arthur was president from 9/19/1881 through 3/4/1885. Do you realize how idiotic the comparison is?

If you're keeping score black on black violence was predated by white on white violence.
Billy the Kid was shot by Pat Garrett on 6/14/1881. White on white violence. And nobody said it was a problem.
Big Lurch murdered Tynisha Ysais on 4/10/2002. Black on black violence. And people say it is a problem. They must be racist.

Guess that makes Obamas paternal grandmother a racist ... though "accuse" isn't quite accurate ... it was her innocently casual statement that she was present at his birth in Kenya and saddened by the haste in which he was whisked away to Hawaii where his maternal grandparents lived that initiated the whole "birther" dustup ...

C'mon man.
You can't miss the point by THAT much without doing it on purpose.

It's not to show a precedence or to say what is worse.

It's to show the liberal knee-jerk response of shouting "racist" every time something disparaging is said towards a person of color.

Did the birther in chief ever apologize to Cruz for questioning his Canadian birth and legitimacy as a Presidential candidate...or that Cruz's father was a part of the plot to assassinate Kennedy?

...that's the company tail is choosing to keep by exhuming that tidbit...
