<p><em><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial;">by Patrick Appel</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.newmajority.com/birthers-ignorance-is-no-excuse">This</a> is amazing:</p>
<p class="blockquote" style="margin-left: 40px;">According to Public Policy Polling (PPP), a North Carolina polling firm, <a href="http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_NC_811424.pdf" id="aptk" target="_blank" title="only 24%">only 24%</a> of self-identified Republican voters in the state believe Barack Obama was born in the United States.&#0160; 47% do not believe that Obama is American born, and 29% of Republicans aren’t sure. One part of PPP’s data might reassure sentient readers somewhat:&#0160;<em> 7% of those who voted for John McCain do not believe Hawaii to be a part of the United States</em>.&#0160; Now perhaps this is just another irrational expression of Obama hatred.&#0160; But, it may also be older voters who never quite absorbed the news that our 50th state is indeed our 50th state.</p>
