Short Bus's Obama Birth Certificate Defense Is Officially ZOTTED
The Stir ^ | 3/2/12 | Sasha Brown-Worsham

Posted on 03/02/2012 9:17:36 AM PST by Short Bus

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona is bound and determined to make sure we never forget the embarrassment of the birther movement. Most of us would love to put that ugly little racist blip in our history -- a time when conspiracy theorists and fools alike accused President Barack Obama of not being American. But Arpaio, a sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona, just won't give it up.

Can we say beating a dead horse, people? Sometimes it seems like certain politicians just do things to help out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher. After all, how else does anyone explain Arpaio's inane and insane assertion that Obama, a man who produced his birth certificate last year, isn't American?

See his ranting [here].

"Forgery or fraud may have been committed," says Arpaio. Ooooh no! Are ghosts and goblins real, too, Sheriff Arpaio? How about the Loch Ness Monster? Do you go visit old Nessie on your days off from enforcing the laws of Arizona?

In all seriousness, this is vile racism plain and simple. In a place like Arizona, it's no surprise -- after all, many politicians there (including Arpaio) hold rather Draconian views on immigration -- and it's disgusting. And it's getting old fast.

For all you doubters for whom book learning was apparently a challenge, here are the facts: President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. He has produced both a certificate of live birth during the 2008 campaign and the long-form certificate last year. Neither has been disproved.

So why is this still going on? Arpaio seems like a joke, but, according to Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney doesn't think so. Yesterday LaBolt tweeted:

Romney has called Arpaio for his endorsement, his aides called "weekly" and Arpaio was his honorary Chair in 08.
That's embarrassing. The fact is, most people agree Arpaio is a few cards shy of a full deck, but here we are still talking about him. Is this an alternate universe? Why am I guessing this guy is the type of person who stays at parties hours after they have ended asking for more chips and guacamole? Dude, the party is over, the ship has sailed, and you are beating a dead horse.

Sadly, there aren't enough cliched ways to say IT'S OVER to make it any clearer to this guy.

You hang in there! I’m sure mine is not nearly as bad as yours, and so I keep you in my prayers so that you can do what needs to be done.

Stout heart, Sweetie.

ESPN sux rox. What do they know about American Honor? They are nothing but political whores who say what the highest bidder tells them to. Or maybe it’s the lowest bidder?

As soon as Batty Hussein Osama is on the run, Americans will tell him where to put his vacations. What a simpleton. (Anyone want to provide the [ersatz] emperor some new clothes?)

It's getting there, but I haven't actually started destroying anything yet.

“I haven’t actually started destroying anything yet.” Ha! My rep was to destroy anything that came w/in my grasp. I’m a one-person demolition team!

Studies have shown that most bites happen when people approach or handle snakes, he said. And most snakebite victims are men, in particular inebriated men, he said.

"... he said."

Reads like a Darksheare lead-in.

40*40 = 1600

It might be square but it’s a perfect one.

I saw a warming about snake season starting here. In the south west in general. I am not sure who the “he said” was because I just scanned it for a short interest bit to post here. I haven’t had to deal with snakes but I did catch a taranchula once that was terrorizing a nursery school except for Jenifer and the twins, Richard and Stanley. They were trying to catch it.
