'Birthers' must be stopped
LA Times ^ | 7/31/09 | Bill Maher

Posted on 07/31/2009 6:09:16 AM PDT by pissant

Never underestimate the ability of a tiny fringe group of losers to ruin everything.

For the last couple of weeks, we've all been laughing heartily at the wacky antics of the "birthers" -- the far-right goofballs who claim Barack Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii and therefore the job of president goes to the runner-up, former Miss California Carrie Prejean.

Also, when Obama was sworn in as president, he forgot to give his answer in the form of a question.

And yet, every week, the chorus of conservatives demanding to see his birth certificate grows. It's like they're the Cambridge police, Obama's in his house -- the White House -- and they need to see some ID.

And there's nothing anyone can do to convince these folks. You could hand them, in person, the original birth certificate and have a video of Obama emerging from the womb with Don Ho singing in the background ... and they still wouldn't believe it.

Which raises the question: Why, in this country, is it always the religious right that won't take anything on faith?

So far, the reaction from Democrats is to laugh this off, and I understand why. If you seriously believe that President Obama is an African sleeper spy, get out of your chat room and have your house tested for lead.

Couldn’t you just ignore them Bill? Or is there something about it that resonates in some deep dark ignored part of your brain.

Isn't that all that is being requested. Why not try it in place of the infantile response.

Never mind that Hussein and Hillary both were on the committee to determine if McLame was “natural born.” Hussein agreed it was common sense that the definition by all previous usage meant the child had to have parents who were US citizens. Parents with an “s”. Both mama and papa had to be US citizens. By his own verbal admission, his papa, O Sr., was Kenyan. From Dreams, his papa, O. Sr., was Kenyan. By his COLB, whether real or fake, his papa, O. Sr., is “African.” Bottom line, he is not eligible.

A birth certificate - upon which the ink has dried.

They sure are expending a lot of energy demonizing the birthers. If it were such a non-issue you'd think they would ignore it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So?...What's the big deal about a birth certificate. Americans across the country produce birth certificates routinely. But...Obama has already fought one request all the way to the Supreme Court. Is this rational?

Did the DNC pay Maher to troll and keep the “birther” embarrassment alive, or did he do it on his own?

I absolutely hate it whenever 0 or his evik minions refer to the WH as HIS house! Who in the hell does he think he is?

I don’t understand. If the so-called Birthers are such losers then why would Bill Maher even be upset about them?

Why do they need to be stopped if they’re a laughing stock?

That would pretty much clear things up Bill. Since you're so worried about this why don't you get busy and work on handing uz the original BC?

Maher is living proof that there are more horse’s asses in the world, than there are horses.
