Highlight Reel: Birther-mercial Asks Where Was Obama Born?

A new birther infomercial running on a CBS affiliate in Texas and elsewhere around the country tells viewers a "got a birth certificate?" bumper sticker can be theirs for the low price of $30.

The 28-minute program -- quite possibly the first ever birthermercial -- features community access production values, heavy use of foreboding strings soundtrack, and standard-issue Birther ideology.

For a $30 contribution, viewers also get a fax sent in their name to the 50 state attorneys general and Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that President Obama produce his real birth certificate.

One of the men behind the infomercial is attorney Gary Kreep, executive director of the Ramona, CA-based Birther group United States Justice Foundation. He told TPMmuckraker in an interview today that the initial buy was for two and half weeks at TV stations around the country, and he's now looking into a second round buy. He says he'll give us a list of stations playing the infomercial.

One of them is CBS affiliate KLBK in Lubbock, Texas. That's where Lubbock resident Jim Schermbeck saw the infomercial last night at around 12:30 a.m., after The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, he tells TPMmuckraker. A scheduler at the station confirmed to us that the infomercial is running, but the employee in charge of paid programming did not immediately return our calls.

IMHO I think TV stations need to be pressured to not run this piece of crap.

I rarely puke, but I think this is one occasion that calls for it.

:puke:

That last statement at the end, says it all. These moronic racists refuse to acknowledge that a black man is President of the United States; they simply can't accept it so they've cooked up this craziness over his birth certificate.

Dumbasses.

I'm going to walk up to every one of them and demand to see their birth certificate.

And tape their reaction.

Should be fun.

either.Maybe there is some commom ground after all!:sarcasm:

They're cashin in on the crazy.

:rofl:

We have more than enough video to use in commercials to make
damn sure this wingnuttery party won't get in for years to come.

:rofl:

We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.

Update, Nov. 1: The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed Oct. 31 that Obama was born in Honolulu.

snip:

The certificate has all the elements the State Department requires for proving citizenship to obtain a U.S. passport: "your full name, the full name of your parent(s), date and place of birth, sex, date the birth record was filed, and the seal or other certification of the official custodian of such records." The names, date and place of birth, and filing date are all evident on the scanned version, and you can see the seal above.

The document is a "certification of birth," also known as a short-form birth certificate. The long form is drawn up by the hospital and includes additional information such as birth weight and parents' hometowns. The short form is printed by the state and draws from a database with fewer details. The Hawaii Department of Health's birth record request form does not give the option to request a photocopy of your long-form birth certificate, but their short form has enough information to be acceptable to the State Department.

PS: Don't bother replying to the thread, since it is already archived, but the point is still valid:

Most Americans, including the 'Birfers' don't have a real birth certificate any longer.

:rofl:


These retards are proving the Democrats point.


They don't know, and they don't know that they don't know.

Yeah so they want to be all legal and official and stuff.
So?....
Where's the subpoena?
He offered the Certificate online.
If that's not sufficient than they need to get a courts cooperation in subpoenaing the President to produce this documentation.
Instead of cooperating with civil methods we have the birthers, as they are called, simply spouting hysterical rhetoric without the responsibility of legal integrity.
If I gave online evidence of my birth certificate and somebody doesn't believe it than screwum!
Let em pay for a subpoena.
They are willing to pay for signs of protest.
They pay for buses to get them to their destinations of protest.
Why instead don't they just pay for the subpoena?

and I am speechless. This guy is screwed up.

"IMHO I think TV stations need to be pressured to not run this piece of crap. "

No. I want as many stations running this garbage as possible. I want every average Joe American who follows politics loosely, if at all, to be reminded at every turn who the president's political opponents are. I want every car with a "Palin (or Romney or Jindal or Huckabee whomever) 2012" bumper sticker to have a birther sticker right next to it.

If the Republicans want to keep recruiting in Crazytown, let it be broadcast for all to see.

Keep it up, Kreep. Take ALL their money.

certificate the hospital gave my parents in which the words, "Compliments of the Pet Milk Company" appear?
