Tavis Smiley: What did birthers give us? Ignorance

No clearer words on the matter than what Smiley says here:

Even judging by the comments, some people continue to embrace lies and stupidity. You cannot prove anything to them. Facts are just more meaningless fluff to them. So, let us ignore them and move on. Leave them to die with other dead ideas. There are Darwin Award nominees who haven't yet chewed on the power line. Screw 'em. We don't need them.
