Jack and Jill Politics: Children, Today’s Term Is "Birth Certificate"

  • Anonymous · 1 year ago
    However, the wingnuts will dance around with the certificate/certification thing for a while and try to make an issue out of it. Just watch �em.




    Repeat after me: IT'S ALL THEY CAN DO!



    They have no plan.

    They have no agenda.

    They have nothing positive to offer.

    They are done, stick a fork in them.

    The provenance of the birth certificate is that Kos asked Barack's campaign and they gave it to him.


    It's in Kos' post.



    I don't think it was a bad idea to post it.



    The more the right wing prods, the more stupid they look, the more those with questions realized how stupid they are and understand that they're lying.



    I'm not being dreamy.



    Swiftboating. Won't. Work.



    Not this time.



    Just watch.

    From my vantage point, I can't think of any group more American - except for Native Americans - than African Americans....at least America in her current incarnation. I wonder if African Americans are partly to blame for their exclusion.


    Afrocentrism arose as defense to oppression, but perhaps the opposite response was needed. Racist whites were only too happy to hear blacks say they were going back to Africa, and offered to buy them tickets. It's like investing all, only to have someone reap your benefits.



    Blacks have worked the land of America. Fished her streams to supplement their meager diet. Bled into the soil. The bones of slave children are buried in America's ground - their spines warped with hard labour.



    Stand in your pride.



    Wave the damn flag if you must.



    Out-American to posers.

    People will do anything to support their hatred. That's painfully clear from this.


    They also need lives, clearly.

    Did the wingnuts read the bottom of the certification?


    The document even calls itself a certificate -- as in 'Any alterations invalidate THIS CERTIFICATE'



    Couldn't be much clearer than that!



    This is a damn shame. Next they will say that he's really not Barack Obama and that the blacked out certificate no. is an alteration, so it must be invalid.



    STUCK. ON. STUPID.

    this is beyond stupid. have you seen the painful twistings of the constitution where they're trying to claim Obama isn't a US citizen because his mother wasn't 21 when she had him?


    these people are certifiable looney tunes. and they're serious. that's what's frightening.

    I saw this over on Free Republic, and almos mentioned it here.


    Decided it wasn't worth it.



    The other row is whether Obama has registered for Selective Service. That, I'd be interested in knowing.
  • Nita · 1 year ago
    by the way, I feel really badly for all the Freepers who are trying to talk sense into the few nutters about how birth certificates are issued post 9/11, and why the laws they keep trying to attach to Obama don't apply, courtesy of their own evidence in black and white. nothing they say is getting through to the nimrods who keep trying to say this birth certificate is fake and Obama isn't a citizen.


    i think this birth certificate thing is a case of a few squeaky wheels trying to start b.s. and make their numbers seem larger and louder than what they really are. i have to wonder if they really are Republicans, at this point, just as I wondered whether the Hillaryis44ers were truly Democrats.



    this is going to be like the fake 'he didn't put his hand over his heart' nonsense, though. there are some really skeevy diabolical people out there who are getting off on passing around false information that they KNOW is false just so they can have the reaction they want.

    Obama has published a copy of the birth certificate on his website. Looks like one to me! and it's the same one Kos posted. Folks are flailing, as folks do when they panic. As Jack said, "dumb and dumber" ... http://my.barackobama.com/page/invite/birthcert

    This nonesense is not going to stop until somebody gets sued.

    It's amazing how the far right is not wanting to discuss the real issues at all...because they lose on all of those.


    As the first post noted, they have nothing...so they hurl this BS.



    It's time to punish the Republicans at the ballot box this year, people. Get mad and get even and vote the scoundrels out of office and into an insignificant minority.



    Let your anger fuel your desire to do everything you can to defeat the GOP this year and elect Obama and other Democrats.
  • D. · 1 year ago
    Truth,
    You're probably right.



    The world isn't right-I agereth too much.
  • ultramagnetic · 1 year ago
    What kills me is these dumbasses don't realize that when you file the paperwork to run for president you have to file all qualifying documents. This includes a birth certificate.
  • heartsandflowers · 1 year ago
    When you have no ISSUES to stand on you create chaos with a lot of nonsense instead. They are so pathetic. I guess this can be added to the smear website.
  • rikyrah · 1 year ago
    d,


    I have to ask you...let's say the birth situations of Obama and McCain were reversed....



    How much you want to bet me that we would have been subjected to ' can Obama run for the Presidency?'



    What does ' native-born' actually mean?



    Be honest......
  • D. · 1 year ago
    Rikyrah,
    Recall that McCain's already been through something similar, with the whole Panama Canal Zone-issue.



    At the end of the day, will/should any of this really matter? Probably not.



    The smear machines-on both sides-are gonna be active as hell.
  • Craig Hickman · 1 year ago
    FightTheSmears.com is nothing short of brilliant, for more reasons than I can list, many of which aren't even obvious.
  • isonprize · 1 year ago
    I'm looking forward to the really detailed astrological charts that are going to come out of this.


    Astrologers must be losing their minds!! They have location and exact time of birth info? Orgasmic!
  • Craig Hickman · 1 year ago
    The final three candidates have all had their charts cast by some of the most credible astrologists.


    All of them agree: The second week of July will be particularly challenging for McCain, Obama or both.



    We'll see.
  • Kitty · 1 year ago
    To be honest I'm okay with the birth certificate being in public view, because this highlights how the smears are starting to border on the absurd.


    That the right wing is coming hard after BO months before Labor Day shows how desperate they are. And maybe I'm being a bit too optimistic but I've been heartened that a lot of the attacks are being shot down and called out almost immediately. I mean look at how Fox News was backpedaling today (granted it was half-assed, but still).
  • Anonymous · 1 year ago
    Hell, Pat Buchanan called Obama an "exotic kid" tonight and was immediately called out by everyone on the Verdict show except the Republican operative. LOL


    I don't think the earlier horoscopes of Obama were accurate because many astrologers based his chart on a 1pm birth time, and I think his actual birth time is around 7pm. I believe that makes a difference.

    Oh if they want to go down that road, I say bring it the FUCK on! Gawd knows Black folks have eaten the shit of this country for decades upon decades. We have bled and fought beside these muthafucken racist's fools and I will be goddamn if they try to say this shit.


    If any non-black, purple or self hating black person comes up to me talking that crap I'll say for them to ask their great-great-grandpappy if black folks are truly AMERICANS!
