'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.

A single email from A**holerod is probably all that was needed for every MSM publication and every two bit liberal commentator to carry on non-stop since last week.

"Obama's in his house..."

I smell fear. And by the way it's not his house. It's OUR house.

Yes, one would think that Maher would be sitting back
and quietly chuckling over how the birthers are destroying
the people that he hates the most.

I find it comical, watching the Marxist with their
panties in a twist, telling us that we are hurting ourselves.

“You could hand them, in person, the original birth certificate “

Fine with me. I’d be done at that point.

Wow...he sure got that wrong. Leftists aren't a tiny fringe group.

In all fairness,though,he did get the rest of it right...

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

Maher is right.

Look at the damage being caused by the relatively tiny group of Obama, Emmanuel, Nappy, Timmy, Ben.....

Oh, yeah... and the 535 "Fools On The Hill."

I look at Phil Maher, and “The Picture of Dorian Gray” comes to mind. The older he gets, the uglier Phil gets. (He’s physically unattractive, but that’s not what I’m referring to.)

Were the media and Bill Maher this accommodating when Bush's Texas Air National Guard records were falsely reported just prior to the 2004 election?

Nice try LA Times. Seems you’re the one loosing readership - primarily due to the complete lack of investigative ability in your “journalists”.

The Obamaloon can solve this easily, for about $15. Wonder why he isn’t?

Conspiracy? Nope. We just know that the loon lies like a rug, has no intellect, and other than that, is a completely worthless consumer of O2.

“But we live in America, and in America, if you don’t immediately kill arrant nonsense, no matter how ridiculous, it can grow and thrive and eventually take over, like crab grass or reality shows about fat people.”

Or a communist, racist president.

The socialismization of America...

Socialization is that wonderful thing that happens to kids in public schools. At least that's what the NEA tells us.

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.” Ghandi

Sounds like Mr Maher is calling for an advance to stage 3. Bring it.

Yes, “birthers” must be stopped, and it is up to obama to do so.

From the link:

At a Judiciary Committee hearing on April 3, Leahy asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, himself a former Federal judge, if he had doubts that McCain was eligible to serve as President.

“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied.

bgill,
You are assuming that O Sr is Obama’s father.

From the article:

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

(end snip)

This really shows the underpinnings of worship that the left wing media has for Obama. We are being castigated for not taking their ‘Messiah’s’ word for it and for not having ‘faith’ in him and him alone....LOL

These people really make me sick!

LOL!

Because I don't believe Obama and God are synonymous terms?

Because you have to believe something exists before you can have faith in it?

Because the media is burning up the keyboards just to tell us about this NON issue?

Because Americans have to present THEIR paperwork to government officials everyday, and we're sick of the double standard?

Because someone can't be a natural born citizens when they can't even prove their legal right to be in this country?

Methinks the talking heads are getting nervous.
