how did birth certificate qualification turn into "racism"?
If anyone disagree's with obummers policies they are by definition, according to progressives, "racist". They simply won't accept that you can dislike a persons policies while not caring what color he is.
Accusing the President of being a Kenyan and being a Muslim is not disagreeing with his policies.
Accusing the only African American President (and only that President) of being not being born in America and being a Muslim sure does sound racist.
So, not believing someone is automatically racist if they happen to be black? Does the left disagree with Bush's foreign policy because he's white? Do they accuse him of crimes because he's white?
The birther rumor came from a few publications calling him a Kenyan. In an interview while running for Illinois senate, he was called the Kenyan candidate. So, why is it wrong to wonder whether he lied about being Kenyan in an effort to gain something?
As far as the Muslim rumors, that isn't difficult to understand. His father was a Muslim and he did spend time studying Islam. While he doesn't have a habit of quoting the bible, he has quoted the koran on many occasions. He is quite friendly toward all Muslims while constantly criticizing Christians. Again, it's not a huge leap to wonder what his true religion really is.
