Birther Craziness Has Got To Stop
Poli-Gazette ^ | 8/2/09 | Mike Van der Galien

Posted on 08/02/2009 4:26:00 PM PDT by pissant

Writing for Little Green Footballs, Charles Johnson reports that so-called birthers have now dug up a document they say proves President Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii.

Today we get a ludicrous effort by head Nirther Orly Taitz to foist off an obviously fake “Kenyan birth certificate” with Barack Obama’s name on it: Is this really it? (re: possible Obama’s Kenyan B.C. - Attny Taitz).

These people are getting desperate. World Net Daily is also salivating over this.

The posts were published shortly after Republican Congressman Eric Cantor blamed liberal media and bloggers for hyping the birtherism movement.

Although those individuals have certainly done their best to pretend that all conservatives believe Obama to be born in Kenya rather than on American soil, Johnson rightly points out that many birther posts at far-right websites are extremely popular. The ones responding positively to such articles are (extreme) conservatives (lunatics, actually), not liberal ‘journalists’ and bloggers.

Those of us who aren’t very fond of Obama’s policies have to distance ourselves as far as possible from birthers. These people embarrass the entire conservative movement. Instead of helping it, as they say they want to, they hurt it. The best way to prevent Republicans from making a comeback in Congress next year is for conservative critics of Obama to claim that he lied about his place of birth.

In other words, enough already. It’s time to be serious.

SUre Mikey, whatever you say. All of us demanding to see Obama's BC are just lunatics. So distance yourself away. We'll gladly bring about the end of Obama's career without you. We'll even let you pretend you "always knew" something was fishy about him.

LGF sounds as afraid of Obama’s BC as they are of the anti-Darwinists.

WHY are the Liberals so parnoid?

Just answer a few questions.

Oh, you can’t.

Your hero is now mortal and has made a few mistakes. Too bad.

Live with it.

Why are the libs so inflamed by the “birthers?” If they think they are nuts, then just ignore them. Unlike liberal nuts, they have no power.

Wow, the birthers are good!
They even faked this certified copy from February 1964 (?)
In explicable to fake that data-

except wait- that is the middle of Stanly's divorce from BO Sr and exactly what the lawyer who handled the case would have had onfile from the divorce and custody proceedings.

A divorce court judge would have required a real BC (or legally certified copy with raised seal) to determine paternity and grant custody of the child

devilishly good thinking, birthers

Earth to squeamish conservatives, the more the left calls us crazy and tries to marginalize the birthers, the more likely The Kenyan Imposter is a fraud.

If the accusations were so off the wall, why the demand that we be silenced?

Lefties scream when the truth is told. They’re screaming.

Darn right.

These are the same kind of lunatics that read contracts and warranties.

They probably even look at expiration dates on milk cartons.

Lunatic birthers.

Because whether it’s true or not, and whether the public would ever seriously admit they buy into it if asked in a public setting, privately people are drawn to these types of stories. A little doubt creeps in, and then they start to question on other issues. Liberals used these stories to some effect against Bush. All those saying this will not bring Obama down are correct just as the 1 million stories told of Bush didn’t stop him winning two elections. But the heart of the story isn’t the BC but that Obama is notoriously secretive and this story feeds that perception. It won’t bring him down, even if it were true. But if it makes people question why he’s evasive about the smallest of measures and that leads to caution over his other actions? I see no harm as long as this diversion doesn’t lead focus away from the fights over policy or electing conservatives to office.

Besides, maybe I’m just tired of the establishment in general. Too full of themselves, even the bloggers. If they wanted it to stay a small movement, they’d just shut up. But they keep talking about it which in turn gives them more traffic or notice and a cache in not being “one of them”. I lean to not beleiving it, but if it gives them heart burn I say carry on until they learn to lighten up.

OK, if that’s the way you want it. That’s fine with me. I’d rather be associated with true conservatives as opposed to the RINO gasbags spouting the left’s talking points and working for compromise on all the marxist BS coming from the 0bamunists.

See ya’...

My comment to Mikey:

Yes Mikey it is embarrassing. Embarrassing that the President will not release anything that will tell us about him. Embarrassing that so called conservatives like yourself do not question why Obama fights so hard to keep from releasing these documents. Embarrassing that so called conservatives like yourself want to just ignore the Constitution. Yes Mikey, you are embarrassing.

Attaway Mike. Concentrate on the kooks and pretend serious questions do not remain about Hussein's qualifications.

All controversies grow nut jobs at both extremes, and concentrating on those raise serious doubt in my mind about how seriously the activists supporting Hussein respect the truth.

You know, total transparency?

Charles Johnson is a self important blowhard.

YOU RUN A BLOG CHARLES. Any 5th grader can do it, don’t overelevate yourself to thinking because YOU have deemed something as settled, that it really is.

At this point, the anti-Birthers will do and say anything to keep from being “wrong” about this.

Hey, all I want to do is to have just a little doubt planted, and let the natural background level of paranoia take it from there.

I still want to see some DNA evidence. Was this kid even a genetic relative of Barack Hussein Obama the senior? Was there, in fact, a document that clearly states that a legal state of marriage existed between Stanley Ann Durham and ANYBODY?

Already having a spouse from which there has not been a termination of marriage is, according to the laws in effect in the US at the time, basis for declaring a state of bigamy, and the second and subsequent marriage is annulled.

Liberal “journalists’”? There ain't no such thing. There are liberal political operatives, liberal propaganda agents, and even educated liberal writers that make a living espousing liberal viewpoints. But there are no liberal journalists. A journalist records what is. So called “liberal journalists” believe their life's calling is to spin everything the write about to achieve their idea of “a better world”. They lost their soul when they began to believe that the end justifies the means.

The media and other Obama sycophants would have you believe that you’re crazy if you want to see the birth certificate of a sitting US President! That’s shear insanity! Madness I tell ya...

The Obama apologist reveal their stupidity in the weakness of their arguements.

I’m with PubliusNM. I don’t give a damn if the Republicans ever win an election again. They had eight years to get rid of abortion, scale back the government, destroy affirmative action, and get rid of income taxes — and they blew it.

If the Democrats win every election from now on, great. The faster they drive the country into the crapper, the sooner it will all fall apart, and the quicker a REAL conservative political force can arise.

Hey Van der Galien, feel free to ignore it yourself, but don’t tell anyone else that they have to stop demanding the truth from the usurper.

The usurper has spent too much money trying to hide it, so there must be something to it. And I want to know exactly what it is.

And thanks for the post Pissant.

What I’d like to know is....where were all these `responsible’ Republicrats a year ago when the GOP was successfully foisting off on the rest of us an obviously fake conservative candidate.
Oh, yeah—they were giving reach=arounds at La Raza and Log Cabin Republican meetings; I’d tell them to `eat my meat’ but they might follow me to the restroom.
