Tonight we revisit a story we brought to you Friday. It produced a flood of emails, most of them unprintable. Clearly, the story of Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin struck a nerve.
*snip*
He says the orders are illegal because, he claims, President Obama, the commander-in-chief, has not proven he was born in this country.
Lakin, in popular shorthand, is a birther, and Anderson’s interview with him and his lawyer stirred up a passionate debate on our blog. Keeping them honest, we’ll take a close look tonight at the birthers’ claims and how they’re playing in the court of public opinion and in legal circles.
(Excerpt) Read more at ac360.blogs.cnn.com ...
They're ridiculing the issue.
"they're bigots, racists, lunatics .. blah blah blah"
You can leave a comment here.
~~Ping!
Anderson dreams of ‘sinclairing’ the illegal alien Obama.
Why they’re pounding the issue again on CNN
is interesting ... makes one think -0 and
Bauer want this issue more front and center
to Alinsky, objectify and ridicule those who
believe in the original intent of the Founders
and Constitution.
Also, at least AC raised the issue of
his father not being an American citizen.
Cuts both ways when you do that, Anderson.
Anderson doesn’t say anything Obummer’s team hasn’t directed him to say. Anderson Cooper only says what Obummer wants him to say. So why is he addressing the natural born issue? Is he trying to defend himself for being called out for being so over the top in last week’s interview?
AC360’s Twitter page .. let’s see a few
sensible and logical replies.

Just sign up.
He was screaming at them, ridiculing, interrupting, if he could, he looked like he would shoot them!
What a pathetic and disgraceful display of CNN "Journalism"!
IIRC, the Colonel has already served two tours in a war zone. How many did the “metrosexual” Cooper and the Twitterers serve, I wonder?
Accurate info for AC360’s Twitter

To Tweet, you just put the symbol @right
in front of the name .. no space
OMG! They’re calling us baffons!
I know .. almost as bad as moroons.
I tweeted .. my comment’s not showing.
They’re obviously censoring.
Color me shocked.
It is interesting, since most of media has dropped it. All CNN has to do is ask for the Department of Health certificate from Hawaii and it’s over.
Some of the comments .. all sloppy brown nosing.

Good Evening Everyone!
Dulcie - Denver May 10th, 2010 10:01 pm ET
Good evening Anderson and Fellow Bloggers!
Smith in Oregon May 10th, 2010 10:02 pm ET
Good Evening Anderson Cooper, AC360 Staffers, Guests and fellow bloggers.
Mary May 10th, 2010 10:03 pm ET
The BIRTHERS??? Why dignify this group with coverage. Why, you ask, are they questioning THIS president’s right to govern? Because they’re BIGOTED. Pick a real news story.
Mike, formerly from Syracuse May 10th, 2010 10:03 pm ET
If Laken felt this way he could have simply resigned rather than disobeying orders.
Smith in Oregon May 10th, 2010 10:04 pm ET
Birther’s make up only a tiny portion of the neo-con supporters, why give so much focus on these wing-nuts?
tanyia May 10th, 2010 10:04 pm ET
The birthers are a bunch of idiots. The President can show them his birth certificate and they still would not believe it.
nancyinoregon May 10th, 2010 10:05 pm ET
Is this a rerun? Not this guy again!
Dulcie - Denver May 10th, 2010 10:05 pm ET
Geez, this is so insanely stupid! I’m beginning to think this is at least partially racism. No one has ever doubted the veracity of a previous president’s birth certificate.
What a silly, silly argument between ‘Certificate of Live Birth’ is not the same as a ‘Birth Certificate’. Please.
Starr, formerly known as vincent May 10th, 2010 10:06 pm ET
Good evening Anderson & entire Team 360.
Hi, David, Isabel, Gabriela, Nancy, Kim, Megan, Emily, Mike, Casey, oAnn, N. Royalton-OH, Smith-Oregon, Nichole, Devin, everyone....
another week....another birther discussion-i’m so sick of people of want to dismiss Pres. Obama one way or the other.
Smith in Oregon May 10th, 2010 10:06 pm ET
Given all of the true facts regarding President Obama’s birth. The birthers ignore them all and continue grasping at their claim President Obama is illegitimate. John McCain born in the Canal Zone in Panama where is that discussion?
Gloria, Brooklyn, NY May 10th, 2010 10:06 pm ET
Anderson, in “Keeping Them Honest”, you do that so well!
Sheila May 10th, 2010 10:06 pm ET
You go, Anderson. This interview is ridiculous.
Gayle McCauley Malden,Mass. May 10th, 2010 10:06 pm ET
Greetings to All! Give ‘em hell Anderson! What is wrong with these people?I think they are all sore losers if they truly don’t believe that Obama is an American.
nancyinoregon May 10th, 2010 10:06 pm ET
Forgive me-I forgot to say Good Evening, everyone! This birther fellow got my goat right away!
charlie May 10th, 2010 10:07 pm ET
These birthers are truly crazy.
Lori, S. California May 10th, 2010 10:07 pm ET
Hello Anderson! Hello Everyone! Here’s to adults who can talk for themselves!
Happy Monday! I really missed you guys this weekend and hope that everyone had a nice Mothers’ Day.
Soledad Gomez May 10th, 2010 10:07 pm ET
Sometime people aren’t ignorant they choose to be ignorant, don’t let them get to you.
Lori, S. California May 10th, 2010 10:07 pm ET
It is hard to believe that we are still talking about the birth certificate.
Emily, Minnesota May 10th, 2010 10:08 pm ET
Oh my, I really really love you, Anderson! The conversation you’re having is hilarious right now.
Fly off on that doctor and his lawyer cause the man isn’t answering the questions you’re firing at them.
You sound pretty upset.
Again, I love you. Just brightened up my night! :)
tanyia May 10th, 2010 10:08 pm ET
Go get them Anderson. You are making them look like the fools that they are.
Megan Dresslar - Shoreline, WA May 10th, 2010 10:08 pm ET
Helloooo Anderson, Lisa Bloom, Megan, Jessica, Candy, David Gergen, Ed Henry, Martina, Nicole, Kim, Emily, Gloria, Dodie, Mike, Casey, Milan, Vivan, Gabriela, Cessy, Paula, Isabel, David-Indiana, JoAnn, Monica, Kathy, Gayle, Renee, Caroline, Danie, Lori, Adelaide, BettyAnn, Heather, Starr, Sharon, Casey, A. Smith, Devin, Karin, Dulcie and my friend Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!
Thanks for coming in for join us tonight! :D
Hope you have great weekend! :)
Happy Monday night!!!
Good point there, Anderson, I wish, He will give up right now, Col. Larkin is lying to everyone about his (Obama) birth certificate, I hope he will take under oath by court!
Ryan May 10th, 2010 10:08 pm ET
@tanyia: Obama doesn’t need to show a birth certificate. His mother was born in Kansas. No matter where he’s born, he is a natural born citizen by blood, just like John McCain, who was born in Panama.
Emily May 10th, 2010 10:08 pm ET
Good evening Anderson, 360 Team, Jo Ann, Mike, David & Isabel, Megan, Starr, Nicole, Nancy, Casey & Bloggers.
I can’t believe that these birthers are back!
This was a very frustrating interview....
Do we know why the Military MD is doing this?
Cessy - Chicago May 10th, 2010 10:09 pm ET
good evening to you wonderful AC360 staff and fans!
You GO, Anderson!
Keeping it honest!
Starr, formerly known as vincent May 10th, 2010 10:09 pm ET
@Mmary, Mike and Smith-Oreon, i appreciate all of your comments.
@nancyinoreon, sure seems like a re-run doesn’t it?
Heather B. May 10th, 2010 10:09 pm ET
This birth cert is what is known as a “short form”. Yes its missing info but its cheaper since its printed from a computer . This is so stupid.
nancyinoregon May 10th, 2010 10:10 pm ET
That is the $64,000 Question, Emily-Why is he doing this? You can bet is agenda is not what he wants to portray it.

Are we the same bigots who wanted Colin Powell to run for President or even Condaleeza Rice?
Do biggots try to push Good Congressman into running for President like a J.C. Watts?
The same ones who look forward to Lieutenant Colonel Allen West’s ascension to his seat in Congress?
Guess we are misogynistic serial racists who want to see women like Angela McGlowan in the Congress.
How about all those sporting events we go to where the players are dominated by uhm....Black Guys? Racists pay good money to see them right?
Or what about that womanizing Tiger Woods, so many of us aspire to be like, in our dreams.
That Crazy Michael Jordan go us to “Just Do It”.
Mike Tyson and Sugar Ray Leonard beat the racism out of us, I guess.
And Michael Jackson or Smokey Robinson. Guess we felt an affirmative action compelling us to go their concerts, buy their memorabilia and buy their records, tapes and CD’s.
Must be a bunch of racists who made Oprah a billionaire.
Damn you rascits!
things is the other AC Schlepers, like that bonehead from Redstate kepy using the term American citizen, which is not the issue.
The issue is Natural Born.
You have done a stellar job with keeping responsibility. Once again, show the DOH certificate and that will do it. The gov refuses. Remember this well as a major stage.
Isn’t it all for show to make everyone and the issue look crazy?
