BIRTHER
12
Definition
Pronunciation: //ˈbɝθɚ//
noun
- (rare) One who gives birth."[…] she couldn't be an "easy birther.""
- (slang, derogatory, US politics) A believer in the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States (2009–2017), is not a natural-born US citizen, and was therefore ineligible for the presidency under the United States Constitution (Article II, Section 1)."I confess I do have some sympathy for the "birthers," though. As an outsider, it's hard to distinguish between the zany arguments that get official approval by the conservative establishment --- things like Bill Ayers, Michelle Obama's infamous "whitey" tape, the claim that Obama is a closet Marxist --- and those arguments that are considered beyond the pale."
- (slang, derogatory, US politics) More generally, anyone who questions the eligibility of a candidate for office based on their citizenship status."[see title]"
verb
- (slang, derogatory, US politics) To question the eligibility of a candidate for office or the location of one's birth.
