@mikel1814 The birther conspiracy was an attack on the legitimacy of the presidency itself — not a debate over policy or plans. -
It was false, as I say repeatedly; this is not, as I say repeatedly.

Thanks for your comments. I've updated a portion of the story to add clarity one sentence in particular was missing. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-electoral-college-vote-isnt-just-about-the-electoral-col?utm_term=.gkR2Yk9xLQ#.bb4eBGlOk6 …pic.twitter.com/Fhge3PNbpj

/2 birther plot is fantasy, relies on racist assumptions. Emoluments clause is real, will be violated day 1. Analogy fails.

It is a discussion of how legitimacy claims continue forward if they're being pressed. I continually say they are not the same.

'members of the opposing party' went wrong. Every American has a duty to press POTUS to follow the law. Not partisans.

saying "despite its falsity" and "reasonably or not" does not pull this comparison out of the muck for you.

this is how I feel. Looks like equivalence.

I co-sign this co-sign. It may not be what Chris intended, but it's reeks of equivalence.

Just the reference to birtherism alone is weird.

you wrote they "plagued Obama" an absolute crap way to describe that, like a mistake plagued him or a bad decision plagued him
