'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.

You forgot the part about spending millions of dollars and issuing an executive order to keep the information from being revealed.

Birth Certificate with name of father, delivering doctor and hospital.
$10.
That’s all he needs.

It's clear Maher understands nothing about religion, faith or the issue regarding Obama's birth certificate.

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

You mean like the Al Gore, Sore Loser “Selected not Elected” crowd?

For a non-issue, it sure is causing a lot of time, effort and resources to be expended. Why do they feel they have to defend Obama against a fringe group that noone is going to believe anyway.

Somehow, they are not making a lot of sense.

If they truly believe what they are saying, they are not acting like it.

The issue can be resolved by the release of a 12 dollar document.

The increasingly shrill and incoherent spew from the left on this issue is the best evidence there’s something to it.

And “birthers” is a left invented epithet to ridicule what should really be called “concerned citizens”.

Mahr is a scumbag. And apparently, a WORRIED scumbag.

I hope they make that mistake. If they do, they will withdraw and settle out of court so fast and hope the MSM will cover up for them.

Case in point, Major Stephan Cook order to deploy was revoked in a day instead of sending him to the brig, supposedly!

I think you are wrong. I think a majority of non believers would finally accept it.

With so many convinced that the COLB is already a forgery, then a legit long-form BC would also be deemed a forgery -- just a much better one since he now has the resources of the presidency to get it fabricated, and any doctors, state officials, etc., that verified the data would simply be seen as part of the conspiracy or people who Obama had threatened or paid off.

Funny - but also a real possibility. I enjoy Ann Coulter’s writing but have always wondered about her penchant for dating libs.
