14. No, let this be what they run on. Not the economy, health care, etc., this.
Let the Freepers and PUMA huddle together, and think this is a winning strategy.

We stick to the issues, and watch out for Rove's machinations, and push back where warranted, and we can win.

25. HE mentions a Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama bornin Canada
August 23, 1961, to be exact. Vancouver, BC, Canada is the supposition

He gets that nonsense from Rense and a phony COLB posted there:



Note the signing authorities are "Dudley Doright" and "John Kennedy".

29. Vancouver, BC, Province de l'Ontario. That COULD be Dudley Doright's signature, though.
It's SO convincing, except the JFK signature is obviously forged by Larry Sinclair.

Otherwise, perfect.

39. Wow, this is pathetic.
"I have been reading for some time about Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate controversy."

The first sentence from that crap opinion piece told me all I needed to know. Lame. And the "proof" he cites is that fake ass birth certificate you posted? Just wow... these people are completely brainless, it seems. :freak:

2. Boy will my friend down in TX be pissed to hear about this.
Way to show off that the MSM in Texas is just as incompetent as the national MSM. Texans have enough going against them what with the dubious honor of having produced the current Idiot in Chief.

3. It doesn't matter. His birth in Hawaii is legit, so there is no there there.
If anything it will confirm that he was born in the United States of America, unlike John McPain!

Could it be that McCain is not an American citizen?

Just saying.

This story is all over the friggin' web. Google Obama birth certificate and you're led to pages and pages of the BS crap. I'd rather see a DU truth thread on this get high on Goggle and other search engine lists so that someone who's not as familiar as we are can be linked to at least one website that tells the truth on this.

44. Oh, getting "Barry Soetoro's" birth certificate.
Larry Johnson and friends are claiming that Lolo Soetoro adopted Barack Obama, (giving him Indoeian citizenship), and that Sen. Obama's real name as a result is "Barry Soetoro". He's also claiming the GOP has a copy of the birth certificate and that's why, for the good of the party, he has to withdraw his nomination and step down.

No, I'm not making this tripe up

19. This is stupid. His mother was born and raised in Kansas.
He is a natural born citizen through his mother and I believe that the courts have held that a child born in a foreign country of an American mother is an American citizen. So although he was born in Hawaii, it wouldn't matter if he was born on Mars. These people who are pushing this are morons.

32. As KO reported the Denver Rocky Mountain News website
reported last week that Obama held dual Kenyan citizenship. They've since scrubbed it but not before many RW blogs cited it.

Editor's note: One of the items on this list has been removed because it mistakenly repeated a report that Barack Obama holds dual United States-Kenyan citizenship. This erroneous information was never reported in the Rocky Mountain News print edition.

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/aug/06/things-you-might-not-know-about-barack-obama/

Fools bought in to the latest RW crap.

The notorious "techdude" analysis is revealed as so much hot air, but that has not stopped the spread of theories about what Barack Obama may have to hide.

The "forensic specialist" failed to deliver the purported hidden name on the purported Obama birth certificate. But the presidential candidate continues to stonewall on producing an actual document, and a horde of bloggers and amateur sleuths are hot on his tail and the trail for elusive Soetoro or Obama documents has not yet gone cold.

As Israel Insider reported, several bloggers rushed and vied to take exclusive credit for the breaking news that the identity of the image supposed used to fabricate Obama's suspect Certificate of Live Birth image was none other than his sister Maya Soetoro. Leaving aside the implausibility of how such artifacts could have survived the photoshopping process, throughout the land and over the seas, bloggers and forensic specialists alike opened their image editing software and tried to discern a name where the self-proclaimed expert named Techdude claimed it would be. Israel Insider was from the outset skeptical about this latest "discovery" although we dutifully reported the sensational "claim".

The latest assaults on the murky citizenship status of the Senator and Presidential candidate are focused on several separate initiatives. One focuses on the issue of allegedly double or even triple citizenship that Obama may to possess as the result of the foreign origin of his presumed Kenyan birth father and that of his Indonesian step-father, Lolo Soetoro, both Muslims.

It has been suggested that the reason Obama is reluctant to publish his actual birth certificate is that the name that appears on it is Barry Soetoro, which raised all kinds of question about whether his name was ever changed. There's also the question of whether Barry acquired citizenship in one or more of his paternal homelands, and whether he continues to be a foreign national in one or both.


http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/13052.htm

Oh and they have a video saying Obama trashed the Bible when he points out that if you followed the Bible literally then slavery would be allowed, children could be stoned, etc. Similar to the fictional rant President Bartlett did on West Wing.

Here's their attack video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FCNKwHRCQM

And for you West Wing fans here's Bartlett's rant against a Dr. Laura type character. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWuXpfXSl5Y

34. if the guy posting this bs is so confident that 1/2 of the state AGs are going to file suit
then he shouldn't hesitate to take the following offer: we'll all offer to give him $5 for every AG that files such a suit, he pays each of us $1 for each state that doesn't.

40. It's really not worth dignifying
Obama is already a US Senator which requires he at least be a naturalized citizen and 30 years of age.

His birth situation by Constitutional requirement would have already been laid to rest. This is illogical nonsense that is just being perpetuated to keep up some stink and cloud over the nominee. Who gives two craps about a piece of paper? If there is doubt to who Obama's mother is then run the DNA and shut the hell up! If that woman is his mother, then it follows that Senator Obama is just as much a natural born citizen of the USA as anyone ever who has been born blessed with the designation.

On the other hand, it's a proven fact John Sidney McCain was born not in the good ole US of A but rather in Panama...true story.

Now, we all have the sense and judgment to understand the man's daddy was a US citizen and he's a natural born citizen by virtue of being his father's son (and his mother too, I assume). Why is it that these fools want to judge Obama by different and much more stringent standards? Hawaii is dicey but Panama is A-OK?
It's embarrassing to America that we have so many idiots and hypocrites breathing our air.

Many of these two faced idiots are probably the same voices that have called for an amendment to allow Ahh-nold a chance to run for the White House. The rest deadenders trying to get their way by hook or crook. Never mind. The two are practically the same thing.

I strongly advise avoiding the temptation to bet on this not because you won't win but because people like this are likely prone to renege. You can't have a "gentleman's" wager with scumbags. If you do it then you'd best get a neutral holder of some sort.
