Freepers: Obama has a fake birth certificate so Pelosi may become President.
Edited on Tue Nov-18-08 01:37 AM by MidwestTransplant
The claims that he is "hearing" that some states may withhold their votes until O proves he is "American."

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2134008/posts

These morons are just too funny. Still pimping the birth certificate nonsense.

They just can't get over the fact that we will have a Marxist as a president and there is nothing they can do about it ;)

90. Obama: "I Was Born On Krypton" (CBR News 17 Oct)
Fri, October 17th, 2008 at 10:58AM PST
Updated: Fri, October 17th, 2008 at 11:09AM PST
... Senator Barack Obama ... last night ... in New York City ... once again courted the coveted “geek vote” by including in his speech the revelation that he was born on Krypton ... http://www.comicbookresources.com/?id=18481&page=article

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vws9fTtQgz4

What more evidence do you need? He admits he was born on another planet! But all US states and territories are located on THIS planet!

How do we know that the Obama's were not human foster parents?
Maybe his spacecraft crashed landed on Hawaii.

94. My teenage son has always been very
artistic. When he was little, he drew this really neat picture then "painted" it using an art program on the computer. It had a huge sky that filled up most of the page and it was a really weird color, a combination of several unlikely colors. I'd never seen that color before or since. Aptly enough, he titled the pic "the strange sky." When I think of FreeperPlanet, I think of that "strange sky" as being their sky. It's certainly "out of this world."

Constitutional crisis looming over Obama's birth location

Lets count the ways BO can be black mailed.

Someone who knows the truth about his birth place.

Someone who knows about his Muslim connections.

Someone who knows about his shady Acorn dealings.

Someone who knows about his drug use.

Someone who knows about his racist past.

Someone who knows about his forged BC.

Someone who knows about what he was writting about in college.

just to observe the carnage. They actually BELIEVE this completely discredited shit. They are pegging the delusion meter. No facts can dissude them from their lunatic delusions. Barack Obama is as American as pumpkin pie and turkey for Thanksgiving. I wallow and delight in the insanity of their madness. If this is what we have to face down, it will be like shooting fish in a barrel with a sawed off shotgun.

Edited on Tue Nov-18-08 08:37 AM by LiberalFighter
I would welcome the delegates from states that went for McCain to withhold their votes.

Personally, I think that any of those delegates should be identified and lambasted for being racists.


In addition, I know who is the delegate from my district that gets to cast her ballot and who replaces her if she can't do it here in Indiana. I seriously doubt that either of them will cast their vote for anyone other than Obama.

is when the candidate the elector is casting their ballot for lost and the person disagrees with their campaign. Or when people reverse the top of the ticket with the bottom by mistake.

over the last couple of days just to get some laffs. They are in a seething uproar, spewing FreeperFatwas and excommunicating moderates and "RINO"s (anyone to the left of Mussolini) with the fury of rabid weasels or medieval popes and antipopes expelling each others' followers.

The amout of bigotry and ugliness is far higher than it was a couple of years ago and there seems to be more truly unhinged loonies. If paranoia were gold, the Freeps could buy their own planet.

59. Didn't some of his school...
Edited on Tue Nov-18-08 01:11 PM by mgc1961
...mates refer to him as Barry? Is it a crime to call Bush, George?

The guy is just three months older than me. If I were talking to him right now I'd have him address me as Mitch, not Mitchell, not Cornett, or Mr. Cornett. Just Mitch.

Good grief.

63. It was his boyhood nickname, like calling my BIL Jackie. BIL prefers Jacques,now that he's a grownup
... and a 60 year old professional man, at that. It's on his birth cert, too. And a lot of people have a hard time figuring out how to pronounce it -- his favorite is "Hock-ess." My husband still calls him Jackie, though. My father's family called him Junior; his nieces called him Uncle Junior. Drove my mother nuts because she thought a grown man shouldn't be called Junior.

Basically, the child Barry grew to be a young college man who embraced his ancestry by using his full name: Barack Obama, and that's how he presents himself to the world. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter kept their nicknames, but that's their prerogative.

The freepers are capable of making anything into a slur, and they've done so with "Barry." That's all this little dustup is. They have their customs; DU has its.

74. Barry is the nickname/short version of his name
that Senator Obama used through most of his youth.

It is often used as a derogatory name by those opposed to his presidency.

I have used it in my sig because it fit, "Give 'em heck Barry.". But later modified it so there weren't so many apoplectic fits.

62. Yawn. Imagine a world in which McCain actually had a birth certificate...
...the authenticity of which was attested to by his birth state's government, and Obama had none.

69. Then he'd have been a naturally born son because of his mother.

That's another aspect of this that is so fucking hillarious. It doesn't MATTER where he was born. His mother was an American. He could have been born in Moscow with Kruschev the father, and he would STILL be a naturally born American.

Doesn't seem to have kept him from getting his party's nomination.

48. This whole thing is absurd. Even if this ridiculous nonsense about him "not being born in the US"
was true, his mother is still a US citizen. Therefore, he is a natural born citizen, as anyone with at least 1 American citizen parent is a citizen.

Sheesh, these people are thick.

50. On another discussion site I look at, they are doing the same thing
It's a group that discusses things like UFOs, aliens, crop circles and conspiracy theories in general. There have been a number of threads lately started by, well let's just say conservatives unhappy with the outcome of the election, that rehash the same thing. Obama was born in Kenya because his Kenyan grandmother told some Moslem cleric, who has since escaped to England and applied for political asylum, that he had and she had attended his birth. Obama has supplied a Certificate of Live Birth which is not the same as a birth certificate, which does not have the raised seal of the state of Hawaii on it. Obama went to Hawaii shortly before the election not just to bump off his American grandmother but to pay someone off at the state level to confirm that they have his original birth certificate on file. The threads all make a big deal of a law suit someone named Berg in Pennsylvania files and allege that because of it Obama must produce his real birth certificate to the Supreme Court in December. Whenever someone tries to interject a bit of sanity into the discussion, the anti-Obama people scream bloody murder and complain that all Obama has to do is produce his real birth certificate to end the discussion. Another facet to this is that Obama is not a US citizen because he lived in Indonesia, became an Indonesian citizen and renounced his American citizenship. Of course they neglect to mention that Obama was a child when he and his mother moved to Indonesia and he could not legally renounce his citizenship nor is there any evidence his mother did it on his behalf. It's sad really that they are so against anybody being president who is not white that they resort to infantile fantasies.

64. Oh good grief
there you go, making sense. :rofl: I believe that the reason given in the article being quoted by the poster on this other site was that the cleric had to leave Kenya because he had proof that President Elect Obama had been born in Kenya and therefore could not be president of the United States and the Kenyan authorities were after him because they didn't want that information to come out. Kenyan officials want PE Obama to be sworn in as president and then they will be able to hold this information over him to get special treatment. Remember this other site I mentioned is devoted to discussing, among other things, conspiracy theories, and they can find doozies. :)

I know nothing about the electoral vote process beyond "popular vote in the state = that state's votes go to the president."

75. Ok, little Freepies. I'm gonna say this again ... verrrry slowly. Try to follow along ....
... do all of you Freeper dimwits think that the FBI, CIA, NSA, Treasury Dept. (secret service) didn't vet Obama beyond all vetting? Do you honestly think these agencies, which are tasked with protecting our country -- from within and without -- didn't check for DNA under Obama's fingernails (let alone investigate his birth certificate)??? I mean, have you any idea how this country works? ... how this government works? Do you Freepies really think that the FBI has a 20-year file on David HALBERSTAM for Chrissakes, and didn't check the circumstances of the Democratic nominee's birth?

Good lord. How do the Freepers cross the street? How do they find their butts with both hands?

And what part of the line at the bottom of Obama's Certificate of Live Birth -- "this copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding" -- do they NOT understand? Is "prima facie" giving them trouble? Can they not read? What's the deal?

Oh, sheesh. I had read about the birth certificate allegations prior to the election when some Freep Peeps were going batty over it. I just can't believe they are still at it. This "story" has been debunked and debunked.

It truly is frightening just how stupid and gullible some people can be. The Internet is a dangerous place... ;-)

Succession is when Joe Biden takes over for Obama because Barack's a Muslim terrorist robot from Mars and THESE X-RAYS PROVE IT!!!!!!1

Secession is what Todd & Sarah want to do to Alaska. All REAL Americans want to join them.

98. It's not funny. They think inductively. They have already made up their
minds. They don't plan to recognize him as president any more than we recognized George Bush. The difference is, that we respected the laws and fought within the system. They will not. Their discontent will grow and their will be acts of disobedience that will cross the line. If they are given too much leeway, expect them to provoke an incident, to test this government's authority. For them, creating another Waco scenario with authorities hanging around a compound, well, I wouldn't put it pass them to do it deliberately, because, on a smaller scale, that's what happens around here. They intentionally create a scene and try to suck in public support in the confusion, before the public has a chance to sort things out.
