Is the Secret Service Targeting the Birthers?

Over the past year, Secret Service agents charged with protecting President Obama seem to have taken a keen interest in the Birther movement, the committed group of anti-Obama activists around the country who claim the president was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, and is thus ineligible to serve. The idea has been widely and repeatedly debunked (see FactCheck.org's thorough takedown here), but that hasn't stopped Birthers from doggedly making their case in American courtrooms, to US attorneys, and even to a rural county grand jury, in the hopes that a judge will rule in their favor and Obama might eventually be removed from office. Those efforts have failed spectacularly, but they seem to have succeeded in placing the Birthers on the radar of the Secret Service.

I would have gone with:

Suppose some pervert kidnapped your daughter?

If he detained her for a year, can he keep her?

He is legally president now.

Says who? You?

This will be challenged shortly via quo warranto in DC District Court. Movants with standing (Chrysler dealers who lost their dealerships due to Barry's actions) will see to it that this case - as opposed to previous cases not filed in the proper venue - is not dismissed due to lack of standing.

Lord willing, the quo warranto will be heard on its merits and justice will be served.

I wouldn’t worry. Secret Service can do nothing to birthers.

Whistling past the graveyard are we?

RE :”Yesterday, sickoflibs was defending Margaret Sanger. “

Hey, yesterday you were calling Sanger ‘a Murderer’ for promoting birth control to stop conception, now you claim Obama is not president. I can use you as the model of a conservative. You can write the next contract with America using those winning points.

I want him to PROVE that he is "legally president" in accordance with the requirements set forth in The Constitution. Just because you, or some other 0bamunist says he is, doesn't make it so. Any acts, laws, treaties, etc. enacted during his time usurping the office, is a separate issue.

Post a link to me saying that. I never mentioned birth control. I said she admired Hitler and pushed eugenics.

So post a link where I said ANYTHING calling Sanger ‘a Murderer’ for promoting birth control.

Did you notice sickoflibs using Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals by not answering the accusation and instead turning it on the questioner? Doesn’t work on FR.

I noticed DJ MacWoW moved from ‘Birth control’ to ‘birth certificates’. Looks like ‘Birth’ is the common denominator LOL

I never posted about birth control. I didn't mention it once. I posted about Margaret Sanger being into eugenics. And you defended her.

Your post 112 is very juvenile. The reason is because your post 106 is untrue.

Yesterday you defended Sanger. Today you defend Obama. That is a suspicious pattern.

He (she, it?) also tried to get you to defend what you hadn't said.

Textbook example.

Yup. I was suspicious yesterday. Even more so today.

Defend ??? LOL. I am sure the first place an Obama operative would go is to a ‘birth-certificater’ or ‘Sanger-murderer’ thread and challenge the posted ideas. Because those two themes are the two biggest threat's to Obama's presidency, right??? If they can get just a few Freepers to question those two ideas, Conservatives lose both 2010 and 2012

Ann Coulter called the certificaters nuts, she must be an Obama operative too . Like you said, she is defending Obama.

Trolls defend liberals and their ideas on all subjects on FR. The defense of liberal ideas are what’s suspicious, not the specific subject matter. Nice attempt at deflection though.

Paranoia doesn't need to make the pieces fit.

People who can't abide the idea that Obama could be president have made an emotional investment in a fantasy that's obviously off target and pointless. But this isn't about that fantasy going anywhere. It's about the emotional satisfaction of clinging to it.

I would agree that any real effort to win elections has no use for sociological psychoses like this stuff.

Slowly if I can understand ..., ‘liberal ideas’ important, ‘specific subject matter’ not important, yes, I see it, that finally makes sense. You found the perfect two threads for your ‘theories’
