'Birthers' Nonsense Sets Georgia Up For Ridicule -- Again

Columbus (GA) Ledger-Enquirer ^ | January 27, 2012

We will risk the fairly safe assumption, as this is being written, that Air Force One did not make an appearance at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport sometime Thursday....

You almost have to laugh at this latest chapter in the seemingly endless “birther” saga, because about the only alternatives at this point are tears and/or nausea.

It was embarrassing enough when members of the Georgia legislature -- including, to Columbus’ acute humiliation, two members of the local delegation -- drafted a “Presidential Eligibility Assurance Act” in the last legislative session.

Now Georgians get to enjoy the added spectacle of their secretary of state, Brian Kemp, warning the president (let that sink in -- warning the president) through a White House attorney that failure to appear in a Georgia court would be “at your own peril.”...

Peach Pundit editor Charlie Harper, in a blog published this week in the Savannah Morning News, wrote: “This is a mistake. We are taught from a young age that we will be judged by the company we keep … The birther argument transcends disagreements of policy and politics and spirals into pure nuttery.” How true.

Georgia, no thanks to some judgment-impaired officials and certainly without the consent of the governed, has been slumming in the Orly Taitz nuttery neighborhood way too long. Please, for the sake of the state’s already battered image, let’s just quietly tiptoe out of this putrid political ghetto and back to the daylight side of town before we attract any more ridicule....

I was surprised to see (on the "I JUST TURNED BOORTZ OFF" thread that this crackpottery apparently has a following here. Then again, maybe it's a bunch of liberal trolls posting this Birther flapdoodle to make us look bad.

You've been here ten days and you're concerned about "us" looking bad?

Keep laughing, transducer and Ledger-Enquirer. Obama is not a natural-born citizen, no matter how many times he was born in Hawaii. His dad wasn't a citizen. He was ineligible for the Presidency last time, and is this time too.

And neither is Marco Rubio a natural-born citizen, in case folks want him to be VP.

[coloradan]

Wow, what a fact-filled, objective article you’ve posted there.

The article actually closes with this admonition:

“Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.”

I keep looking for the Ministry of Truth byline.

[ASA Vet]

Oh looky here. A probable retread obot troll to play with for awhile.

[An.American.Expatriate]

For the sake of argument, why do you label the desire of some citizens in the State of Georgia that a candidate for office of the President must actually PROVE he is eligable to hold said office as crackpottery?

[transducer]

What does this nonsense have to do with following the laws of this country?

Win the prize!

Can you guess which presidential candidate the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer endorsed in 2008?

Question too tough?

Okay, here's a hint:

Obama Endorsed By Two More Georgia Newspapers (Sun Oct 26, 2008)

"Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got a boost to his Georgia campaign today when he picked up the endorsements of the Macon Telegraph and the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer."
