Now the Birthers Have a Hilarious Bogus Obama "Birth" Tape

Now the Birthers Have a Hilarious Bogus Obama "Birth" Tape: It really does feel like the Obama Conspiracyverse has moved on from pure birtherism to the theory that the president's real father was Frank Marshall Davis. So I welcome this flashback from Vice, a video from a crazy person who thinks it's proof that Barack Obama was born in a Kenyan hospital in 1961.

It's so damn debunk-able, it hurts. First, notice the curious closing shot of the Kenyan flag, which is placed (for some reason) at the foot of the bed. A calender earlier in the shot -- also, hilariously, zoomed in on as if the videographer is trying to find the Cloverfield monster -- tells us that we're in 1961.
