This is fascinating. A Republican using the birthers, who are in bed with the Teabagger movement, to tar his opponent. Remember, the birther conspiracy theory - that President Obama wasn't really born in the US and thus is not constitutionally eligible to be president - was highlighted, and well-received with a standing ovation, at the recent Teabagging conference in Tennessee. So it's actually quite interesting that McCain is trying to use the fringe in a negative way, rather than embracing them. Then again, they don't quite like him anyway. But still, it means McCain suspects that Arizona Republicans aren't as fringe as the birthers and possibly the Teabaggers.
