I had a RW associate bring up the Birth Certificate issue

I just laughed and said "REALLY?!?!?, Please tell me more. This is fascinating. How could Obama get elected if this is true? Show me all your research."

Unfortunately, he detected my insincerity and stopped talking about it. However, I really do want to encourage them to go after this. Please, waste the next four years chasing this unicorn. Please. Please try to prove Obama isn't a citizen. I really want them to spend all of their time on this. It will only help us get what needs to be done all the much faster and more efficiently if this is what they choose to chase.

"Did you really support a candidate so incompetent that he didn't know Obama wasn't eligible or didn't do anything about it"?

..... terrorists...."

I dead panned her and said, "____ a friend of mine was killed in the World Trade Center" (this is not something I make a big deal of, most people don't know) "if you think for one second that I would support someone, who was linked to a terrorist group, you need a relity check."

She just said, "sorry" and walked away.

I'll keep that in my playbook and pull out as needed.

;(

That will get them some attention.

They can spend the next four years researching whether or not it is a state.

the Constitution says to be President one has to be a "... Natural Born Citizen". McCain is not.

It is rumored that McCain's mother, while pregnant, left the US base in Panama to go shopping.

She became tired and stopped in a cafe for lunch. Suddenly she went into labor. The cafe workers took her in the back and helped deliver little John MCain. They called him EL Guapo.

After the birth, McCain's mother was unable to travel. So one of the cafe workers let her (and John) stay in her tiny home overnight until she was ready to go back to the base.

The next day, the cafe workers took John and his mother back to the base.

The doctors at the base, unsure what to do, simply wrote the birth certificate as if John McCain had been born on the day they returned to the base.

Technically ... a story like this might mean that John McCain is not be an American citizen. He might actually be Panamanian.

Some argue that John McCain co-authored the Amnesty bill as a way to "give back" to those cafe workers who helped his mother.

McCain has not denied this story. Which make one wonder what he might be hiding.

:dem:

in my range of hearing, that he's NOT AMERICAN. So I got up from my seat, apologized for interrupting, and told her it wasn't true. 'So why are so many saying it? MUST be true.' She wouldn't go for fact that rightwingers WANT her to believe this untruth, and left before I could show her his birth certificate.

ALSO said, he had said something about 'not wanting American flags around.' Heard anything about that one?

yesterday. Of course I handed their ass back to them in a neatly tied bow. but do this people ever do any reasoning? How could Obama have Rev. Wright as his minister and still be a muslim? Yeah, I know, they're stupid!

during the past 30+ years, those who would otherwise not be considered stupid certainly behave that way now.

I may try some explaining next time I see her, which will probably be tomorrow, but don't know.

My husband said he had to struggle not to laugh in the guy's face, but he was trying to negotiate a plea bargain for a client and did not want to antagonize the guy by calling him a moron. He told the guy he should check his facts before repeating that claim as it had been throughly debunked and then he changed the subject.

I have to wonder what king of evidence that DA finds acceptable to present in a courtroom.

An assistant district ATTORNEY? Admitted WHERE?

GREAT WORK that your husband was able to contain himself and continue with his work! Your question, which I'm sure you've shared with your husband, is VERY meritorious!

It wouldn't give me much faith in that attorney's ability to practice law.

Frightening we have supposedly educated people believing this crap. Despicable we have the RW'ers like Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, etc., spreading this crap while they laugh all the way to the bank.

I have both..

A birth certificate is what they put that little footy print on and is issued by the hospital

A live birth certificate or certification is what you get when you write the state for a copy of your birth certificate.

You know it takes a certain amount of effort for those people to be that purposely dense!

:rofl:

What they do is issue a document that contains the pertinent data and verifies that the actual certificate exists - all government agencies and courts accept this document as the equivalent of a birth certificate.
