IT'S PAST TIME TO INOCULATE CONSERVATISM AGAINST THE BIRTHERS
While the birthers are certainly lunatic fringe, your statement
"And the fact that no other president or presidential candidate in history has been asked to “prove” they are citizens is a personal insult to Obama."
is incorrect. McCain went through the exact same thing in early 2008 - lawsuits over his eligibility to serve as president due to his birth in the (then) Panama Canal Zone, demands to see his birth certificate (because there was no record of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone Health Department's bound birth registers), etc. All of this was carried by the MSM including the WaPo, and the NY Times.
Had McCain won the presidency rather than Obama, I have no doubt that the Birthers would still exist. They would simply be associated with the other party.
