To the Oscars, the Grammys and the Emmys, you can now add a wonderful new distinction: the Dobbies.
Awarded by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Dobbies, named after CNN commentator Lou Dobbs, honor the year's greatest declaration of bigotry, chauvinism and plain stupidity. My candidate for the Dobbies this year is the "birther" movement, which claims that President Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate is not kosher, and, therefore, he may not have been born on American soil. Was he even born in American airspace? Was he even born in American outer space? Good questions, all raised by this supposedly dubious piece of legal paper.
What makes this movement Dobbie-worthy is that there is no other evidence of the president's non-Americanness. He has no accent — unlike this commentator who wouldn't be president if you waterboarded him. He has shown nothing but ardent love for this country, and he has even gone beyond rhetoric to get to know actual Americans — all suspicious activities by their very Americanness. If that piece of paper turns out to be irregular, all that presidential effort plus the votes of a majority of Americans may turn out to be only a cover. Under that American facade may lie a foreigner.
What is a foreigner? This is a question I can answer with some authority. A foreigner is someone like Henry Kissinger, Arnold Schwarzenegger and myself — people with accents who are distinguished by an unnaturally fervent dedication to this country. Unlike some of the people born on American soil, who take American democracy for granted and can make a big deal of trouble for people whose papers are not in order, foreigners have to think about the place where they are living because it isn't like the place they came from.
Of course, the same thing pertains to a person from Chicago who finds him or herself in New York. The native-born Chicagoan will find New York strange enough to learn it from scratch, because people in New York say funny things, walk differently, produce inferior pizza and have this funny law that you can't be mayor of New York if you weren't born in one of the boroughs. Oh, you don't? Sorry. I guess the birther movement isn't as mighty as I thought.
A foreigner is also someone who speaks more than one language, which can cause someone to be sympathetic to an alien expression, a gateway to UFOs and alien invasions. Polyglots are a threat to the American dream, which should be dreamed in English by a person with a valid birth certificate. It is this proud ignorance that makes the birther movement the only likely candidate for a Dobbie.
This is not satire?
Another dude who needs the red pills.
Wow, what garbage from a Roumanian instigator at NPR.
This is the difference between the “Educated” and reality.
They will reap the rewards of criminalizing civil discourse and suits regarding Zero’s birth certificate.
This is all Ceaucescu like.
It sounds like he’s saying that not being natural born is “no big deal”. That’s a change.
Dude, if only this guy could walk and chew on his own, he’d be able to get the red pill. These people are total retards and cannot be poty trained normaly. Think Roumanian autistic hospitals interning healthy happy kids otherwise.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”

This guy should look at the illegals problems and at Obama’s certificate errors: they are the ones who should bear the “papers” onus. So he is contradicting himself.
I read a book by this writer 10 or more years ago... he is a typical NPR hates-freedom type.
National Putrid Radio has taxpayer funding spewing vitriolic hatred; yet, the Townhallers are called on the carpet for exercising their free speech. It’s time to exercise our free speech and return America to its greatness. Enough NPR, ACLU, ACORN, etc.
We should add the “Stalinie” to the list, awarded annually to the person or institution who best represent the murdererous brand of Communist tyranny and economic stupidity of the Stalin regime.
Competition would be tough, but NPR and the Southern Poverty Law Center would have to be declared ineligible, otherwise they would win every year.
Send in your nominations, please. To get the ball rolling, I would like to nominate the current resident of the White House, His Excellency Barack Hussein Obama, AKA The Messiah, for reasons that are obvious.
Stanley Ann, where were you on the night of August 4, 1961 ???
I always say:
If anyone can smell an Illegal Alien, it’s Lou!
I know this couple, both liberals, but NPR managed to divide them. He is an Electrical Engineer and she was babbling about NPR saying this or that about electric cars which was completely ridiculous, thinking it made her an expert. He replied the truth about that to her and that what she heard was wrong. She started ranting and reving about how she hated being treated like an idiot by him.
So, there you have it. This is how the media “educates” and divides people. It is startling to see how media+stupidity makes for such pop corn events.
On another note, the left is so incoherent and hateful and petty, they remind me of the ugly character in Red Dragon. The Public Edu system has completely para-militarized their minds over the most absurd of details to convicted levels. When the cop shows his childhood abuse drawing pictures at the end of the movie, I can’t help but figure these poor drug screwed lib-tards and Obama (their own personal lack of character notwithstanding).
Release the Kenyan Imposter’s vital records!
Why is the Kenyan’s Occidental College transcripts secret?
Did he enroll as a foreign student?
What is the Kenyan hiding?

What a great article.
So, where’s the long form birth certificate?
