As Twitchy reported earlier, Team Romney is offering a chance for a dinner with Donald Trump. The Left quickly swung into absurd action.

Two days ago, @realDonaldTrump was pushing more birther conspiracies. Today, @MittRomney is hosting a funder w/him http://t.co/ywpf2gAo

Will @MittRomney endorse birther sentiments at his fundraiser w/Trump? http://t.co/ywpf2gAo

Could this be why is @MittRomney campaigning w/Birther Trump? MT @DylanByers: 'Birtherism is great for business'. http://t.co/DIojtyVE

Oh, dear. The pitiful “birther” label. That’s all you have, Democrats? November is looking good. Paging Brad Woodhouse, DNC communications director! This seems like good meltdown material for you…and here he is, natch.

Trump is peddling new birther conspiracy crap & @MittRomney's raising money with him? Guess a man who can fire people at will knows no shame

As Twitchy reported earlier, the intolerable Joan Walsh also cried about it.
