What’s Wrong With This Anti-Romney Birther Airplane Banner?


Posted on August 25, 2012 at 11:32am by Madeleine Morgenstern

One day after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney quipped that “no one’s ever ever asked to see” his birth certificate, a plane towed a banner over his Ohio rally declaring “America is better” than “birtherism.”

The problem? The banner contained an elementary grammatical error: It used “then” instead of “than.”

Yep, it seriously says "America Deserves Better THEN Birtherism." @emokidsloveme: @jaketapper It seriously says "then" instead of "than?"

The Obama campaign rolled out similar “birther” accusations Friday, including producing a 16-second web video saying the country doesn’t need a “birther-in-chief.”

While there’s nothing to suggest the Obama campaign had anything to do with the banner, it‘s not the first typo to befall the president’s re-election effort this week: A photo of him posing with several students to spell out “O-H-I-O” swapped the “H” and the “I” for “O-I-H-O.”
