Arpaio: Obama birth certificate issue needs further investigation
Source: Arizona Republic
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's investigation into documents related to the birth of President Barack Obama has ended just as it began: with the sheriff's supporters convinced that the president has posted a fraudulent birth certificate on the White House web site.
Arpaio held a press conference Tuesday to share the findings of a long-running investigation his volunteer posse conducted into documents related to President Obama. The team of volunteer investigators, supplemented by a sworn sheriff's deputy, traveled to Hawaii in May, leaving with lots of questions about Obama's birth certificate.
The team could not get answers to many of those questions, and their request to view Obama's original birth certificate was denied, leaving Arpaio with one conclusion to his high-profile probe: "It's time for someone else to look into this situation," he said Tuesday.
While the investigators were in Hawaii for 10 days, it was explained at a Tuesday news conference, they discovered the existence of a former local registrar who might have written on the copy of Obama's birth certificate posted on the White House web site.

(51,368 posts)He refused to prosecute child abuse complaints in the latino community. And then there are the dead latino inmates under his watch. Then there is the blatant racist profiling.
And his birther investigation might be criminal; he fraudulently diverted state resources in furtherance of his private hobby. At a minimum it shows he's a piece of human garbage. He should definitely be civilly liable to pay back all taxpayer money spent on his birther investigation.
But I'm fine with him being in a mental facility as an alternative, especially if they make him wear pink jumpsuits and sleep in a tent out in the AZ heat.

(53,661 posts)Not one element is missing from that, even though it''s funny, this has been their story line since 2008. They tell it in different versions, but it's really about the black man getting a white woman, that blacks can't possibly be American, said by those (whose ancestors emigtated to the Bronze Continent, thank you very much) and of course, no blacks are Christians, thus they can't be American, all of them want communism.
It's the line of lies on Prison Planet, World Net Daily and other sites and is pushed by Jerome Corsi and the rest of them. Oh, no, they won't give it up. Even though, I was hoping for a stay in the Graybar Hotel for Joe, but he seems to have slithered outta there.

(431 posts)This recent "Press Conference" to share the findings of his "possee" that has uncovered "proof" that President Obama is a foreign born usurper is a naked attempt to try to muddy the waters. Note: he has no proof of this whacko theory.
When his professional malfeasance and illegal, narrow minded bigotry result in his conviction, the equally moronic Freepers will be screaming, "he was too close to the truth!!!!".

(35,357 posts)When I was younger, conservatism had some principles. They were anti-communist. They were against some of the largess of liberalism, but they had some sanity to them.
Today, the movement has devolved into nothing more than pure racism, homophobia, religious bigotry, and of course, sexism. They no longer have any principles. They no longer have any reason to really exist. Their only mission is to decrease the already low tax burden on the wealthy. They have no answers to any of our problems. None.
The movement is nothing more than old, fat, and angry White guys.
They are done.

(1,741 posts)I always assumed the birther claim was that someone created a fake birth certificate for Obama retroactively once Obama became an up-and-comer and possible presidential candidate material. After Hawaiian officials confirmed the existence of the birth certificate, I assumed the new birther claim was that someone slipped a forgery into Hawaii's state documents vault fairly recently.
I'll admit I've never paid much attention to all the birther stuff. I always thought the newspaper announcement of Obama's birth was a nearly indisputable piece of evidence in favor of him being born in Hawaii because the only other explanation is that some powers-that-be decided back in the 1950s that this mixed race baby would be a great presidential candidate in half a century or so if only they could pretend he was born in the US.
Now the birthers seem to be saying this woman signed an actual certificate back in the 1950s but there was something fishy about it? So, they ARE saying the conspiracy started right after Obama was born? I'm so confused...
