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.

Obama, the msm, the Hawaiian officials, Ayers and the rest of the little minions keep telling us he is. If that’s the story Obama wants to stick with then he just declared himself ineligible.
Honest officer.... I have a drivers license. How dare you ask for it!
Give Maher some credit. At least he is honest about the real perception of the Left who have, up to now, been telling us that they are only complaining about the Birthers to help save the Republican Party from self-destructing. Maher sees this as a THREAT. You betcha Bill. It is a serious threat. The truth is a very hard thing to suppress.
“....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.”
Hey Bill - I think you forgot to add global warming here.
I’m waiting for the threats of violence, they have to be coming soon, and my WAG Maher’s show will be where they first air.
good point
The more they scream STOP, the more convinced I get that “THERE IS SOMETHING THERE”, that they are very afraid of.
Could this be the real reason the Left-wing is starting to whine, bitch, moan and complain about the “Birthers”?
And we have been having an even louder laugh at how you jokers have been calling yourselves journalists for years.
Why must the birther movement be stopped if it’s just ran by a bunch of loony righties that pose no threat but to themselves?
Big Head says if O showed an original b c “they still wouldn’t believe it.” How ‘bout showin’ one and find out.
For the first time in recorded history, Maher is right. If Obama today provided a long-form Hawaiian birth certificate that gave all indications of being legit, most Birthers would not accept it. They are too emotionally invested in being right, sort of like Dan Rather after the National Guard docs were shown to be forgeries.
The approval ratings are a shield used by democrats to deflect their inherent character flaws. We saw it with Clinton, we’re seeing it with 0bama.
So long as his approval remains high, they can deflect this BCert issue. But when things get bad enough, more of those that “strongly disapprove” are going to be looking for a way to get this guy outa there. And the BC would be the quickest shortcut to that end.
Translation: our revered Messiah, 0lier, will be thrown out.
: Why, in this country, is it always the religious right that won't take anything on faith?
Wow! Faith? Bill, you consider faith a dirty word, you faithless communist!
But we live in America, and in America, if you don't immediately kill arrant nonsense....
Translation: First amendment is reserved ONLY for bright liberal ideas.
A handful of Republican operatives, enraged at Bill Clinton's unprecedented economic growth and budget surpluses, found a woman named Paula Jones, which led to a woman named Monica Lewinsky...........
Translation: these things weren't true, right Bill? .....because our media do such a lousy job of speaking truth.......
Ain't that the truth?
I'll show you Obama's birth certificate when you show me Sarah Palin's high school diploma.
If Sarah didn't graduate, it wouldn't have disqualified he from being a VP. Don't jump the gun (sorry Bill, don't mean to bring in the second amendment), you may have a chance to be a "schooler" in 2012
Nothing new, turning the truth, history, news and all norms is the liberal MO.
He stated a “fact” that I didn’t know. EVERYONE who wants to see a birth certificate is a member of the religious right!
You are getting your sides mixed up. We are the ones digging to get to the bottom of this. It is the other side obfuscating and hiding.
If Bammy had played
little
league BALL, his guardian would have had to show a REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!
I think you are wrong. I think a majority of non believers would finally accept it.
Although they might start asking for all of the other records that are under seal.
Now I know where Ann Coulter got her advice from.....her friend BILL MAHER!!
