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.
First, stack them on Short Bus.
He’s not going anywhere.
Should be easy. I have experience. I’ve been stacking boxes on Short Busses since I was a kid.
You mean thing, stacking the short bussers.
I’m here! I think. It’s hard to read the signs...
I’m here! I think. It’s hard to read the signs...
Yeah! That’s it!
(Shuffles off, looking at the ground, whistling aimlessly...)
You’re here.
Sign in fact does say ‘here’.
Just keep ‘em 4-8 inches from your eyes....
Hey! We’re over here!
(Has anyone seen my guide dog?)
Good choice, Darks!
Ah. Thanks. I think. Am I really “HERE?” Or am I at “X Marks the Spot?”
On my way!! However, I’ll be a little late as my guide dog is a basset hound and we have to stop long enough to smell every blade of grass along the way. :)
A friend and I discussed this at lunch we also discussed how pathetic it was Obama couldn’t have gotten someone better (someoen with CIA experiance) to forge his BC for him. I mean Sheriff Joe in the video of how they checked the BC showed HOW to actually do it.
1. Make a BC template in Photoshop with no background.
2. Print it out and then make a copy using Green Security Paper.
3. Take the copy AND THEN SCAN it into the Computer and upload it to the website.
4. Burn the Original Physical Copy and one with green security paper.
The BC looks so damn fake that it could have been a College Intern working at the WH who made the damned thing...
I would start checking to make sure all of the College Interns who worked at the WH during the time leading up to the BC release are still alive.....
I’ll make sure to have some rum-laced (or not) hot chocolate and some chocolate chip cookies for you. All you have to do is nuke them, and they will be good as new!
It’s good to see you!
:o])
Don’t you just love fractals? Impossible without a computer.

...less the air-brush
[ “A Fake is a Fake and it’s been proved the BC is a fake.”
Big Media and all Rats refuse to believe that, and the “right-wing” contrabirthers don’t seem to care. ]
The sad thing is that while everyone has been concentrated on the BC there are college records that if unsealed could be used to prove/disprove a LOT of actual Birther stuff or at least indicate a pattern of tuition fraud that occured when Obama himself an adult of legal age.
Who knows how many college records were destroyed while everyone was slathering over the BC.
