...Can we all agree, or mostly agree, that the full-blown birthers are nuts?
They aren’t conservative, they aren’t Republican, and they don’t tell us anything about conservatives or Republicans in general. They’re just nuts, but they’re nuts in a very special, entertaining and almost endearing way...

Did Charles Johnson get a job at the AJC? This his first piece?
But people who believe that George Bush took down the twin towers with bombs in the basement are just seeking the truth.
“...Can we all agree, or mostly agree, that the full-blown birthers are nuts?”
Hmmmm..... let me see now.........
NO!
In warned you birthers hundreds of times. You are going no place, certainly no place good.
The Urinal Constipation is not just liberal, it is ugly. Evil too.
I dont know but spending millions of taxpayer money to hide your BC is not normal, especially when is a requirement for the presidency....
I’m support BIRTH, except in Obama’s case.
Sounds about like him— he’s become, well, progressively more liberal since Rathergate, and from what I can tell has completely sold out his conservative audience so he can play bully pulpit about evolution and the “birthers.” Heck, he even posted a message of support for Obama on Election Day last year.
RE :”But people who believe that George Bush took down the twin towers with bombs in the basement are just seeking the truth”
No, liberal MSM media ignored that theme the same as FNC ignores the birthers. Try to get elected republicans to sign a birther petition just like Van Jones signed the 9/11ers petition. Van Jones had to quit when that came out.
Birthers make this site look nutty too.
Even if obama is a natural born citizen (I have serious doubts), there has got to be some other legal or serious public-image problem with the information on his birth certificate. Why else would he spend 1.4 million (roughly, to date) via an international law firm to keep records of his birth and youth private? Published statements from obama supporters claim both to have seen his real long-form Hawaii birth certificate, and that no such long form exists (having been destroyed years ago). Obviously someone is lying, someone is covering up. The whole mess needs to be brought out into the light, made public, and resolved. Until then, obama can not claim to be running an honest, "transparent" administration.
The birther movement is wrongheaded. That’s putting it nicely.
mmm mmm mm Barack Hussein Obama
mmm mmm mm tell us about your mama
mmm mmm mm born in downtown Mobassa
mmm mmm mm Barack Hussein Obama
Quite often I use this tagline.
The essence of evil lies in the trrational.
Not to mention school records from his days as a foreign exchange student!!!
What an amateur-ish tactic:
“We can all agree...”
Really? I thought it was those who just took everyone else’s word for what was true were the ones who were nuts? You know much like repeating rumors?
Birthers....doing the investigations that even main stream media journalists won’t do.
They never disappoint.
Do you have any comments on this piece of crap you posted Evening (or is it Red) Star? The Atlanta Constipation isn’t a newspaper. It is, rather, like the LA Times, et al, something for the dog to piddle on.

Even an Obama speech to children sets off partisan outrage
7:23 am September 3, 2009, by Jay
So we’ve come to this?
The president of the United States can’t speak to the children of the United States about the importance of staying in school, working hard and getting a degree without inciting political outrage?
Really?
The speech is set for Tuesday, and will be broadcast via the web to schools all around the country.
But as the Christian Science Monitor points out, the right is all aflutter:
So that's it. Whenever the opposition calls us nuts we surrender? Is that your idea for moving forward? And I see you have adopted the enemy's derogatory appellation for people such as myself. I prefer to refer to myself in this regard as reasonable Constitutionalist. Is that okay with you, Pal?
ML/NJ
If so, why can't Obama?
If not, why not?
a) He lost it.
b) He never had one.
c) He doesn't want to produce it so as to keep the "Birthers" looking nutty.
I hope communism works out for the Atlanta Constitution. Somehow I think it won’t.
The whole idea of removing a sitting and first AA president based on where he was born is a great way to like like irrational racist haters. That’s why MSNBC talks about birthers every day.
They are also phonies in their constitutional purist argument, if it was a republican, they (R birthers) would call the (d) birthers undemocratic.
Birthers are wasting their time, IMHO.
But “nuts?” Hardly! It’s nuts to believe that a guy who had a known terrorist write his book might be lying about a birth certificate he won’t produce? Really?
Why?
Nutty.. really.. Barry and his mother had Indonesian citizenship... when she was married to that Sotoro guy..
WHEN did they become American citizens again???...
This question is never asked or answered... EVER..
I don’t care where Obama was born. He’s been certified by the Electoral college. I do think it’s important for American citizens to see what is typed next to ‘religion’ on his long form BC. The rest of the muslim world already knows this.
Gee, shucks. (as he ignores the original “chat” obama had planned)
It's cheap entertainment looking in my rear view mirror when stopped at a traffic light.
You forgot one. The dog ate it.
We who? Obamashills, Obamites, Kool-Aid drinkers (new! Hopeychangey punch flavor!), marxists, jihadis, who exactly is trying to get me to agree to anything other than the fact that Obama remains less documented than my first grader?
If we're nuts, PROVE IT!
Hint: All you have to do is show us the documentation! So simple a kindergardener has to!
Free Republic is about following the U.S. Constitution - all of it, consistently applied, not just parts to your liking.
Why don’t you libs go find some other website more to your liking, like DU?
What’s nutty is that Obama won’t put an end to this by simply presenting the certificate and all his records.
Bush dealt with controversy about various aspects of his record by simply making them public. Why can’t Obama do the same?
Maybe the goat, outside the hut where is half-brother still lives in poverty.
Have you ever listened to Orly Taitz talk?
That isn't proof?
It’s funny to wath the desperation of the liberal white testosterone-deprived journalists as their messiah melts down faster than Carter.
This movement was a loser at the start, but once Obama was sworn in the ‘hang on birthers’ look like a bunch of racists haters , that’s why MSNBC loves it and FNC wont go near it.
The constitutional purist argument is crap, how many white republican presidents did you try to unseat to defend the constitution? Could you post links to those comments? I am sure you purists all were outraged over Bush vs Gore!

I’ve got a slightly different spin. I don’t really know whether Obama was born here or not. But the more people who believe he wasn’t, the happier I am.
Nope. What you can do however, is explain why you think Obama is above providing proof of being a American born citizen, as we all are required to do at one time or another, by simply producing our birth certificate.
Perhaps you could explain why Obama has spent over a million dollars resisting demands that he produce his original long form birth certificate, when producing it takes 5 mins and makes the question go away.
If anyone is nuts, it's those who make all sorts of excuses why Obama shouldn't have to satisfy this constitutional requirement that he be a American born citizen, by proving it.
This one has been answered, but maybe you haven't come across those threads.
A child who is a US citizen can't lose citizenship based on what parents do. Parents can't renounce citizenship on behalf of the child. From the linked State Department page:
A person wishing to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship: 1. appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer, 2. in a foreign country (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and 3. sign an oath of renunciationRenunciations that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect....
Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor children. Before an oath of renunciation will be administered under Section 349(a)(5) of the INA, a person under the age of eighteen must convince a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer that he/she fully understands the nature and consequences of the oath of renunciation, is not subject to duress or undue influence, and is voluntarily seeking to renounce his/her U.S. citizenship.
Who said that? They are nuts too.
That would be Phil Berg.
This is actually good news if it sticks. If Obama turns out to have been eligible all along, conservatives and Republicans are off the hook according to the author.
If Obama turns out to not be eligible, birthers will look very good and conservatives, Republicans and all of America will benefit.
Win-win.
