Delaware Congressman (and Hamilton alum) Mike Castle, one of the 8 responsible Republicans who voted for Cap and Trade, was recently accosted by a wildly misinformed woman who shouted that Obama is a Kenyan citizen, and then, bizarrely, demanded that Castle lead the crowd in reciting the pledge of allegiance. In an additional weird detail, the woman brought her own birth certificate in a plastic bag, and describes it in detail... perhaps unaware that birth certificates can vary by state.
Note the crowd's reaction when Castle defends the President's citizenship- which has been clearly verified (see here for a ridiculously in-depth look at the Prez's birth certificate).
The "Birthers" as these folks are known, appear to be staking out a pretty strong position within the GOP community, and getting regular play on talk radio and Fox news. Props to Castle for standing up for the truth against a hostile crowd of his own party.
