Now there are two ways you can approach the tinfoil hat crowd on the Internet. You can rail against their paranoia and stupidity or you can laugh at them and view their idiocy as entertainment. I choose the latter most of the time because it’s very hard to keep a straight face when someone who is perfectly “normal” in every other respect earnestly assures me that Bush planned the 9/11 attacks or that the president will never leave office, using the military to stay in power.
But to prove Hofstadter’s point that the paranoid style is not limited to one side of the ideological spectrum, there is a movement being advanced by otherwise normal and rational people on the right to nullify the election last month using as a basis the preposterous notion that President-elect Barack Obama is not eligible for office because he was not born in the United States...

Since the guy has never produced evidence that he is American, I am not sure how this can be compared to rabid BDS. This is a reasonable issue that should have been dealt with by the courts before the election. If somehow this came to light now after the election all hell will break loose.
It's more fun to do a little of both. Got to go I hear that black helicopter coming back.
As a black minister said on youtube recently:
Show the doggone birth certificate!
Yes, all hell will break loose if he is disqualified.
But, the consequences won’t be any worse than having a socialist as President.
Fine, Mr. Moron:
But riddle me this: WHY is his birth certificate under, as you yourself say, “lock and key”?
ALL I want The Obamessiah to do to clear up this whole thing is SHOW the damn thing to us. Then he can put it back under “lock and key”. Why is that such a problem for him?
Someone is holding a gun to the head of our "Press" to make them complacent with this domestic terrorism...take your guess which government "officials", are doing it.
Preposterous is your notion that the movement is preposterous!
I believe you meant “complicit”.
No one is holding a gun to their heads or making threats in any way.
Remember, they WANTED this guy. Now they’re intentionally covering for him.
If proven, Obamites need to direct their anger at Obamah himself first, their own Democrat party second and Big Media third!
No. I meant complacent...meaning the "press" has been forced to tow the marxist line so long that they like it. The fact that they are complicit doesn't seem to bother them any longer.
Frankly, for something so simple, I don't see why anyone is against it. And the bottom line is the Obama camp could have diffused this months ago and chose not to cooperate.
Since the Clinton era I have found it useful on many occasions to ask “What is the innocent explanation?” In this case Obama could have stopped the conspiracists in their tracks by just releasing a copy of his birth certificate. Same for Kerrey’s 527, Clinton’s State Department records and Sandy Burglar’s stolen papers. At least there is an innocent explanation for Obama’s trip to Hawaii, believe it or not.
It is my theory that he dosen’t like his real first name on his birth certificate. Buford
Really? So we have already seen a picture of Obama with cross-hairs super-imposed, and a caption “Snipers Needed!” on a major news network?
Sorry. Don’t buy your arguements. Most candidates for President have an open book accessible to media scrutiny. Obama has no such book. I don’t care who they are. There is no such thing as a free pass but the communist news media is gladly making that possible.
Why would Obama hire legal council to block the release of an accurate certificate of live birth, supposedly locked up somewhere in Hawaii? Release of that ONE DOCUMENT WOULD ANSWER THE ELIGIBILITY QUESTION ONCE AND FOR ALL.
I find it curious that any and all documents related to Obama have been blocked from public viewing, while Bush and McCain’s grade school and college records were picked over by the MSM?? We even knew Sarah Palin’s grades from her college classes.
WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT OBAMA. WHY IS HIS LIFE ANY MORE SECRETIVE THAN ANY OTHER PUBLIC OFFICIAL? ESPECIALLY A PERSON WHO IS ELECTED AS PRESIDENT?
A SIMPLE RELEASE OF THE PROPER DOCUMENT WOULD DISPEL THE CONSPIRACY THEORY IF THE DOCUMENT IS PROPER.
I still have in my possession my certificate of Live birth. Raised seal of my state of birth is evident. Hospital of birth is evident. Time and date of birth is evident. birth weight. Parents names including maiden name of mother is evident. signature of witnesses and attending physician is evident. I was born in the 50’s and my children were born in the 80’s. There has been no deviation of the format for a Certificate of Live Birth
The paper Obama allegedly produced has incomplete information. As Ronald Reagan said “TRUST BUT VERIFY”
Legal maneuvering and avoidance by Obama makes the TRUST issue very low.
So this jerk is going to let this go to the SCOTUS because he doesn't like his name....why? No..they want to rip up the Constitution to be nice to Barry. Marxists are like that, they plan ahead.
