They're off the hook.

Republican 'birther' rappers perform at 9/12 rally.<http://thinkprogress.org/2009/09/15/birther-hip-ho/>

Self-professed "Republican rapper" Hi-Caliber made an appearance at the anti-Obama 9/12 march on Saturday. Demonstrating his imperfect understanding of Russian history, Hi-Caliber railed against the "communist czars" he perceived to be operating in President Obama's administration. Not only that, the crowd cheered at a line questioning Obama's birth certificate:

We need tanks and hummers, not hybrid cars!
We need honest politicians, not communist czars!
USA, not the USSR.
We need more Ann Coulter and less Bill Maher.
[...]
I don't need another lecture from the Socialistic hypocrite.
Tuesday was your birthday, but where's your birth certificate?

Hi-Caliber has said his conservative views were formed by right-wing talker Michael Savage<http://mediamatters.org/mobile/research/200606070005>. "Here was this guy Michael Savage screaming and ranting and raving<http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-02-28/meet-the-republican-rapper/> about illegal immigration Islamofascism and you know it all started to click and make sense," explained Hi-Caliber to the Daily Beast's Max Blumenthal earlier this year.
