David Corn and Howard Fineman joined Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball to discuss the latest birther tactics, this time a birther bill in the Arizona State House of Representatives that would require “an original long form birth certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician and signatures of the witnesses in attendance.”
