Karl Rove Knocks 'Birthers,' Says GOP Should Focus on 'Real Issues'
Politics Daily ^ | 2/17/11 | Chris Weber

Posted on 02/17/2011 5:16:22 PM PST by pissant

Urging conservatives to focus on "real issues," Karl Rove said Republicans should speak out against those in the party who question whether President Obama is a citizen of the United States.

The GOP strategist said whatever percentage of Republicans are so-called "birthers," it "ought to be less."

He made the comments in an interview with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News, where Rove is a regular commentator. "Within our party, we've got to be very careful about allowing these people who are the birthers and the 9/11-deniers to get too high a profile and say too much without setting the record straight," Rove said.

Birthers believe Obama is not native-born and therefore is ineligible to be president. Hawaii officials have repeatedly issued statements that Obama was born in the state and that the health department holds a copy of his original birth certificate. A copy of the document has been made available on the Internet.

Might suffice for a Senator or Congressman, the POTUS is required to be a Natural Born Citizen.

Sounds like you have him by the short hairs. Drag him to Kenya.

That provision has application only for those babies born outside of the United States.

TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER III > Part I > § 1401 § 1401. Nationals and citizens of United States at birth

The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof

That's wonderful, except you're confusing "Citizen" with "Natural Born Citizen", which is a common error.

According to your "theory", Anchor Babies are eligible for the U.S. Presidency, as Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter III, Part 1, § 1401, (a) is the clause that was wrongly interpreted to allow Anchor Babies, which is a whole nother story.....

FOKR!

You are still a boil on the Republican Party in need of lancing.

Take that Pro Arab College Republican dork Grover Norquist with you and retire to some beach.

You were once Frat boys but now you are mere Fat boys.

Go to a law library instead or Corsi's website.

The greedy bastard is running his mouth again to hustle his establishment GOP clients into thinking he can get them reelected in 2012.

I’m not getting this. Why does wanting to see a long form BC make someone a “birther” ie nut case. Seems like a reallly simple and legitimate request.

Please produce a credible record documenting Onada’s place of birth.

1) Show that Obama is a natural born US citizen, 2) then show that he did not attend Occidental College as a foreign student, 3) then show which country's passport he used when he traveled to Pakistan as a youth, and 4) then tell us how he got a Connecticut Social Security Number without ever having lived there. Do those four things and I will believe that he is not a gutless liar.

Rove should just take the fifth and shut up about it. He was probably involved in covering up the fraud and is desparate to keep this from investigation. He doth protest too much.

"... He was probably involved in covering up the fraud and is desperate to keep this from investigation".

"You are closer than you think".- film 'JFK'

It's not just Rove that are in the target sites. There are so many conspirators (aiding and abetting in deliberate usurpation/sedition of the COTUS)that it will reduce the population of DC when they are put away. Too many to let 'em pass GO so some ones are gonna burn for this crime.

Tokyo Rove. Still trying to tell us all what to think. Who even listens to that guy anymore? He and Bill O’Reilly need to go sit in a corner.
