the rightwing czar

A great piece over at Legal Insurrection looks at how the Democrats might start wishing they weren’t pushing the Birther story so hard. What they thought was an excellent way to destroy the public perception of Republicans (likely to distract them from Obama’s healthcare reform blowing up in his face), might end up backfiring:

Kuhn plays it a little coy, but he basically has it right. Media Matters, Think Progress, and a host of left-wing blogs all became obsessed with the Birther theory and movement in the past month, as opposition mounted to Obama’s health care plans. What better than to distract attention.

But it is backfiring. It’s like telling people not to think about something, which virtually guarantees they will think about it.

Oops?
