More right-wing nutters, Meta-Conspiracy edition

Apparently there's a growing divide amongst wingers. The growing chasm is between the "Birther" movement (similar to the 9/11 Truther movement except they're convinced Obama is not really a U.S. Citizen) and those on the right who are utterly embarrassed by the Birthers. It's all pretty amusing. Here's where it gets really fun, the anti-Birthers are concerned that the Birthers are actually a left-wing conspiracy to discredit the right. No, really -

Meanwhile, the Birthers’ persistence has prompted another, competing conspiracy theory on the right.

“I’m not a conspiracist, but this could be a very big conspiracy to make conservatives disgrace themselves,” Medved said.

A commenter at Balloon-Juice aptly notes,

When you can’t tell your ideological buddies from the spoofs, the spoofs have won.

Indeed.
