What has the world come to when Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly represent the rational side of the Republican Party?
Though the House just voted unanimously to affirm that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, conservative members of the U.S. Congress have played a significant role in making sure the allegations about President Obama's birth certificate remain in the news. But its been pundits like CNN's Lou Dobbs who have done the most part to fan doubts about Obama's citizenship by giving airtime to proponents of easily debunked myths.
However, some of the conservative movement's most notorious and recognizable media personalities haven't jumped on the Birther crazy train. On Monday, Bill O'Reilly joined those media conservatives -- like Ann Coulter, who dissed them on Friday -- who've bailed on the Birthers.
