And he also said “I don’t have any idea. It doesn’t matter. He’s the President of the United States. He’s elected. It’s a distractive issue.”

Guess that’s not good enough, eh?

Hey, but while we’re on the topic, maybe Tommy can show his journalism chops for once and try to find the college and law school transcripts. A lot of conservatives such as myself never gave a rip about the birth certificate. But we were awfully interested in seeing the grades of the most nuanced, cerebral, most intellectual President of our time.

After all, our betters have told us this now for four years. But we’d kind of like to confirm our own suspicions for ourselves.

Perhaps y’all will get around to asking for those this year?

What say you, Tommy old chap? Feel like doing some basic journalism this time around?

Truly pathetic This all the right has at this point – pandering to delusional racist rednecks. I wonder if Trump and Perry had this chat over a dinner at Camp N—–head.

Rick Perry is simply Sarah Palin in a suit, not worthy to be on the national stage!!!

Corpseman in 57 states says what, Jon.

Be careful of the standard you set.

Looks as if the only people truly interested in the birth certificate story are Parade Magazine & Tommy Christopher.  You’re gonna have to do better than this libs.  Racist!  Birther!  Doesn’t work anymore.  Everybody knows your Alinsky tactics.  You can’t distract from the fact that The One has been a complete & utter failure as POTUS.  It sucks, for all of us.  But, dems da facts.  

Another example of the left wing media trying to make a story out of nothing.  It’s disgusting.

Why are Republicans so stupid?  What makes them do things like this?  Why would a Republican presidential candidate have dinner with Donald Trump after all of the embarrassment he brought to Republican presidential politics?  It’s just fascinating.

Are you kidding…asking this team Obama cheerleader to write a balanced column. He is an Obama apologist, constantly running interference for this failed administration and trying to distract from what really matters..Obama’s failed policies. He can follow the administration’s lead and look to place the blame on any and everybody they can. Accuse elected republicans of being obstructionists for holding to the beliefs they ran on and were elected because of. Progressives just cannot fathom that their inate beliefs and ideals are not shared by everyone in this country. On the contrary, they are a very small minority. Most people recognize that progressivism is a thinly veiled form of socialism/communism..take your pick. And most people recognize that human nature being what it is prevents this from being a successful form of government. 

you wonder when even conservatives just say -STOP IT–OK–STOP–and admit their party has gone off the rails to really really stupidville..
i mean really—how much crap do you have to stand in before you admit–something does not smell right????

Silly

we cant talk about ANYTHING regards Obama

we MUST all talk about RACIST ROCKS of 30 yrs ago

and Rubio’s parents coming to the US 55 yrs ago

Makes sense, doesnt it?

why are liberals so obsessed with proving where the president was born?

uh–what?
i think all we have done for the last 3 years was say how stupid the cons were–
we had the birth certificate–
but i guess this was not a serious question–
you are just pulling the consvervative 2 step–
you spend months and years doing really stupid things and then when proved stupid–
you ask ‘liberals’ what was all of the fuss..
i just wonder why cons are so obessed with being stupid—

Rick Perry…the latest Carnival barker…..

Actually, the only well known person that could remotely be labeled a conservative who ever talked about the POTUS’ birth certificate was Donald Trump.  Before he came along, the only people anyone had ever heard of that talked about the POTUS’ place of birth were the wingnuts at MSNBC.  

really, who brought up the subject, perry…..no, it was parade magazine

Rick Perry is really running for Mayor of Planet Wingnuttia. lol

Rick Perry is really running for Mayor of Planet Wingnuttia. lol

sometimes you just want to know if someone is honest enough to tell the truth, has the courage enough to admit or stupid enough to deny it…
and that means you have to ask an obvious question that no reasonable person would deny..
ie was Obama born in the USA

again–a conservative hero faild the basic honesty/common sense test–again~

really joe, you think that is the motive is asking the question? wow you are naive.    and by the way i am not a birther, i believe the president was born in the US. then again i did not witness it so , i have no proof

He does have the idea that there’s an old man in outer space with a long white beard, though!

Faith over facts: your bigoted GOP!

No, actually it’s not good enough. If Obama was secretly a Kenyan, then the CIA, FBI and all the career bureaucrats in the DOJ would have to be in on the secret plan. What’s more, certainly the intelligence agencies of China or Russia or Iran would’ve figured it out by now too. So why would thousands of people be keeping this huge secret? Here’s a guess: there is no secret. The birth certificate issue is just code word for “other.” Righties can cry “race card” all they want to, but there is no good reason why this is an ongoing issue except racial bias or bizarre fringe lunacy. Before Obama released the long-form, journalists from major networks were allowed to see the short-form, and the Republican governor of Hawaii said the certificate was legit. I guess the Republicans could be in on this too, along with the “lamestream” media that actually fact checks before reporting. 

Why didn’t anyone ask McCain for his certificate, considering he was born in Panama? That’s a question that’s never answered. The birthers have been willing to take the word of an Israeli dentist who has had every single lawsuit thrown out by judges over the vetting process of the United States government. Why? Beyond that, if you accept the crazy notion that he was born in Kenya, then what would it matter? He’d still be an American who happened to have been born in another country, like McCain. But, mysteriously, the Right never brings that up.  

If a major GOP candidate has made a decision to pander to the racists and crazies in his party, then it’s a legitimate issue to discuss. It’s not up for debate. Obama is an American. Perry knows that. But he’s pretending it’s an open question to attract birthers to his camp. 

Should we compare the verbal gaffes of Obama and Bush? Or Obama and Bush I? Or Obama and Reagan? Because I have a feeling the GOPers might not end up looking so smart if we listed them side by side. 

uh—you have the state issued birth certificate????
like ALL OF US DO???
so i guess all who have a ‘birth certificate’ are now suspect?
just the fact that you write what you write–show the shallow intellect of the right..

but i will bet you think god hates gays and jesus is God who created the moon and stars huh?
were you there for that?
i think you people should really take a real hard close look at what you believe and ask yourself, “am i capable of being honest withmyself?”–
or more importantly–”is truth more important that ideolgy?”

but i already know the answer–and I do not even have to know you…

Teabagger pro-tip:   When you’re down in the polls, go Birther.

Teabagger pro-tip:   When you’re down in the polls, go Birther.

The typical lefty Alinsky tactics ain’t gonna work this time.  No matter how often you talk about non-existent birthers or call everybody a racist, it won’t distract enough from the fact that Obama has been a complete and utter failure.  It won’t distract from the fact that he’s a child-like figure.  

Sorry Tommy X- your article is slanted.  What Perry said (in this instance alone) makes sense.  Who cares if he had dinner with Trump?  Trump might give him some money, but is obviously failing at the mind-control since Perry didn’t immediately adopt Trumos confusion or inability to think critically.

but he is still better than any republican—

The subject could have been immediately closed here, as it could have a long time ago, if people like Perry would respond with:

“Yes, of course I believe he was born in America. You are wasting my time. Next question.”

Instead everybody does this cute little, “well, I will just take him at his word, but let’s just say I have no reason to think he wasn’t!”

Why would a reporter not ask the question when they know they’re going to get an absurd answer that will generate headlines?

yes joe, because we know the government cant fake paperwork or lie, well republicans can, but democrats would never do anything like that

and joe, dont go too las vegas, because you really suck at making bets

The only sensible thing for a gNOpig in this issue would be  to  DENOUNCE the birfhers as MORONS (R).

Yet them widdle gNOpigs are here PROVING BEYOND ANY DOUBT their loyalties belong to the party.

REASON be DAMMNED! Widdle gNOpigs won’t refudiate Parry’s ignorance, he is a REPUBLICAN BIRFHER, from TEXAS, no less.

i have yet to be proved wrong yet–
if you are so brave–put up or shut up~

you think the government faked obama’s birth certificate-BEFORE BE WAS NOMINATED AND CLINTONS PEOPLE LOOKED INTO IT???? you think he has more clout that Hillary???
come on–lets not be lil cowards–letsput it on the table…lets now waffle with our true feelings–IF YOU BELIEVE IT–SAY IT AND STAND BY IT–like us ‘liberals’ do.
it does not take a genius to have the basic logic that the BC thing was literally impossible to be a fake..
see here is the problem with the right wingers..
they take issues where there is -0- evidence or proof and create a whole platform on it..
ie the birth certificate, religion, socialism etc and yet they will take actual facts and evidence and throw it out the window —to push a false premise based totally on fiction..
ie the birth certificate, contradictions in their faith and THE ACTUAL DEFINITION OF SOCIALISM???
but i am up for wagers—so far–i am all aces~

Perry aspires to be the Clown Prince of the teabaggers.

Te-Has???
is that where if you pray for rain you get fire and sand storms????

is that opposite land? where employment is high and wages are low–where jobs are plenty and health care is nill?
where education is talked about but no money for books or teachers?
where bigger is better yet never really measures up?
that TeHas?
God must love that place—
lets just hope they don’t pray for US—-with prayers like theirs–who needs the devil?

This highlights that what passes for “good political instincts” in Texas is seen as mind-shatteringly stupid everywhere else.

Go back to “punching” cattle, Rick.

You’re a shining example of how dim Obama’s opponents really are.

To be fair, Perry didn’t need to adopt Trump’s inability to think critically, because he comes by the trait naturally.

Are you a birther? Simple question.

Why are cons so eager to prove that Obama is NOT an American? 1/2 of GOP primary voters just this year thought so.

Parade doesn’t go into a lot of depth in its articles (it’s a Sunday supplement after all). As a result, they asked about birferism because it’s a quick and easy litmus test to determine whether a candidate is a moron or not.

There are no wingnuts on MSNBC. They can be found on faux noose and talk radio however.

We have no proof you are not a birther.

Perry should just have said what Romney and Pawlenty said. Obama was born in America…end of story.

Silly Lonestar, Alinsky tactics always win! That’s why liberals use them, and why Republicans, who are much more moral than anyone else, eschew such tactics, even when it means losing elections.

However, in the case of this election, I think we can put Mr. Alinsky back in the grave for awhile, because utter fools like Perry, characterless goniffs like Romney, fanatics like Santorum, tinpot Machiavellis like Gingrich, crazy ladies like Bachmann, and book-tour candidates like Cain will provide so much distraction in their own right that no one in the wingnutariat will notice when Obama steals their lunch money.

Desperation, I’d say. They know they’ll never win on their arguments, so they’re scrabbling for any other way to gin up support, and that apparently includes Trump.

Stupid, I know, but I’ve seen no signs the Republicans are getting wiser since the Bush debacle. Although they still retain their ability to lie to their base convincingly.

Asking whether a candidate is a nut case (or is in favor of nut cases) is disgusting? You have a very sensitive constitution.

I’m trying to figure out whether Perry or Palin should be more insulted by the comparison.

But not shining very brightly!

1) If Perry had a functioning brain cell, he would have dismissed the question with a single sentence. But he’s just not that bright, and is trying to keep open the lines of communication to the crackpots in his party.

Note to Perry: the crackpots are outnumbered by several orders of magnitude; kowtowing to them is not helpful to your chances.

2) Unless Obama decides otherwise, his transcripts are none of your business.

Keep in mind that the public interest is not necessarily defined by what the public finds interesting. If that causes you heartburn, tough shit. The rest of us really don’t care.

I think it’s really important that we rehash the Obama birth certificate story.
I really do.
As a republic, we need to be re-focusing on this crucial issue. The electorate is taking its eye off the ball by turning its attention to the Middle East and the 2012 Republican presidential campaign. 

So I’m going to start a website that will constantly rehash this story 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the end of time. As a nation, it’s clear we have nothing better to think about. 

Jay, Jay, Jay. As a progressive, I’m quite aware that my views are not shared by everyone. Heck, I even know that some of my beliefs aren’t shared by my fellow progressives AND there are even ”progressive” opinions that I disagree with myself!

We call it nuance. It’s a fun game. You should try it sometime.

And as for the bilge you’ve spattered above, let me point out that only “very small minority” believes it. It’s useful to remember that intensity of feeling doesn’t automatically convert to reality, no matter how hard you wish for it.

And wishing too hard will give you a hernia.

Graders are just as stupid as Birthers. You lost in 2008. Your beloved Sarah didn’t get to move into the White House. Get over it.
You’re not going to find a magic document that will undo the election.

If the GOP doesn’t want to be called racists and Birthers, then maybe they shouldn’t have spent the past 3 years having their officials pander to them.

 He didn’t spend millions hiding anything. That’s a load of crap from Orly Taitz that has been debunked over and over.

Probably because they knew Trump the Liar was leading their entire field in the polls earlier this year. The GOP lunatic base runs the party.

says the party that is obsessing over a 1961 document and thought flag lapel pins were a pressing issue in 2008.

are you seriously this stupid?

 ’non-existant brthers?’
hate to break it to you – but a solid majority of your party believed that sh-t, and a good portion of them, including Trump the Liar and Perry apparently still do.

lol

Perry is either the dumbest person in the world for ending the speculation about the certificate or the dumbest person in the world for believing the story.

nope, i think is is his real birth certificate. he was born here. your jesus and gays comment just showed how stupid you are.. and coward lol, you are a partisan little drone that cant think for himself, the bad thing is you can probably vote

i love people like you that think you are the judge of what a correct answer is. and you wonder why some do not trust liberals…..unless you parrot a line exactly like they want you to, you are racist, bigoted, uncaring…..play you game elsewhere

STFU , you hack….have you read any of your comments…….i dont think you are smart enough to find your way out of your house in the morning

Of course it is up to the public to judge an answer. That’s a part of campaigning. Furthermore, all of these candidates have people to tell them how to phrase their answers to try and elicit a certain reaction. For some reason, instead of slamming the door or any thoughts of entertaining birtherism, too many of them are going with the very types of answers im_lovin_it ripped them for, while actively seeking the blessings of Donald Trump.

Perry: “You’ll have to ask him, but I’d certainly like to have the Donald’s
support. He is a job-creating machine, and that’s what I’m all about.”
LOL Trump the Liar is a fake billionaire who’s filed for multiple bankruptcies and is reduced to groveling for a reality show salary to keep his fame.

I wonder if Perry asked Trump the Liar when he’s going to release his tax returns as promised, or when he’s going to share the ‘amazing things’ his Super Secret Hawaiian Birther Task Force investigators supposedly turned up.

He’s a dope if he does believe it. If Trump had anything, ANYTHING, he would have used it by now instead of being made to look like an ass-clown, being the butt of the nations jokes, and watching his presidential aspirations get flushed down the toilet. 

It’s not Perry’s responsibility to verify Obama’s birth certificate.  McCain used to fall for these liberal ruses.  The liberals would demand that he chastise one of his supporters for calling Obama a muslim and of course, McCain would dutifully comply.  It didn’t get him many votes, did it?

Sarah Palin would be more insulted.  She’s insulted by almost anything (the exception, of course, being when Rush Limbaugh jokes about retards).  And Rick Perry doesn’t seem to understand what’s going on most of the time.  Yeah, definitely Sarah Palin.

Yes it has been answered.  The liberals took it all the way to the Sup. Ct. and it was ruled he was a citizen because he was born of military parents stationed in Panama.

In other words, you want to strip children of US military parents of their American citizenship.  Disgraceful.

After dinner, they flew out to N*ggerhead and shot some caged puppies with machine guns.  (You have to real the full story.)

Can you even be pretend to be serious with that last statement? Did you read anything I said? I can’t interpret as anything other than willful ignorance/trolling or deep stupidity. 

The derangement of the birthers and defenders who sit
on the fence has to come from somewhere, so as long as the defenders are speculating
and bringing up bogus what ifs, here is one. 
Maybe the derangement on Obama’s origin or birth, or his collage
transcripts stems from the minds of people who simply can’t understand how we
elected a black man as president.  There
must be some conspiracy behind it; the America I believe in would never have
elected a black man.  I know, he must
have tricked us, he really is a non-American and all of his credentials are
bogus, birth place, religion (he is a Muslim of course) phony or non-existent
college transcripts, etc.   Something has
to relieve me of the cognitive dissonance of a black guy in the White
House. Now, I can’t prove any of this, but I’m
willing to play along with the proof and facts need not be present in the
current conservative mind set.

The Supreme Court never ruled on McCain’s citizenship.  He had 1 military parent, not two.  The question about his birth was whether he was born on the US military base or in a civilian hospital, but it doesn’t really matter because a year later a law was passed that retroactively conferred citizenship on anyone born in Panama with a US citizen parent employed by the canal project or by the military.  At most, he may not have been a “natural born citizen” when he was born, but became one when he was a year old when the law was passed.  Also, people did ask for McCain’s birth certificate, and it was a fairly well-publicized issue in the 2000 election, though he never publicly released a copy.

“The liberals would demand that he chastise one of his supporters for
calling Obama a muslim and of course, McCain would dutifully comply.  It
didn’t get him many votes, did it?”

Are you trying to help or hurt the image of the general Republican voter with those comments?

Of course calling someone on the stupidly of stating
that he was a Muslim didn’t win him any votes. 
McCain was not seen as someone trying to breathe some intelligence into
the Republican Party, he was seen as a traitor for going against the batshit crazy
birther, Muslim hating conspiracy freaks that have taken over said party.

Perry’s said that he doesn’t believe in climate change and is prone to creationist theories about life. So I can understand why they may have wondered whether he was on board with this fairy tale, too. 

well that post makes no sense at all—
how does my jesus comment show that i am stupid? you do not believe Jesus is God?
How am i a coward? and how am i partisan drone?
your comments are kind of childish…
i can say for sure i will stand by what i say and will not waffle or cowar. I may be partisan but that is because i believe in certain principles ie fairness, my fellow man and a strong America–for all.
but one thing for sure–you are partisan and you are based on information that is flawed, and ‘fed’ to you and sadly you may also vote..
nevertheless—lets see who the coward is–
i will put up 10k that obama wins in 2010 and the dems take the house and keep the senate—
now how brave are YOU>

Well I’m certainly glad you told us you are not a *birther* because with everything else you’ve said we could reasonably assume otherwise.

The cow pie grifter.

Rightwingers love to slay straw men.

I read your comment – you claimed liberals are the ones obsessed with the birth certificate, while failing to notice that the GOP was the party consumed by Trump Mania and Birther Fever while the issue propelled a fake campaign from a reality TV star ahead of your entire presidential field in the polls.

you are correct, sir.

the question should have been, do you think Hitler Muammar Gaddafi Obama is a good President … Obama is running a dictatorship and he is one and the same as Hitler and  Muammar Gaddafi  . so this name fits him well..Hitler  Muammar Gaddafi Obama !!!!!! Perfect

I wasn’t sure who is the bigger dumbass, Bachman or Perry. It’s Perry.

DEAR MEDIA;  STFU about Obama’s birth certificate. Don’t bring it up, ever again.

I have no idea whether Rick Perry’s high school diploma is real.  Although, I suspect it is counterfeit.  I also suspect that he is embarrassing our nation’s largest state and the people of the Republican party. 

Perfect example of why people think your party has been overrun by loons is more like it.

Why should they? How many Republican presidential candidates/potential candidates have sought meetings with Trump? Trump is the guy who pushed the bigoted birther movement and when that failed tried to start the “grader” movement by implying the president is undeserving and only succeeded because of affirmative action. Ask them the question. It’s a good litmus test. There will always be that temptation, in a party that becomes increasingly exclusionary, to appeal to a fired up fringe element, by giving a subtle nod to their deluded beliefs. 

and lefties love to just drink the kool-aid. Obama doesn’t have a valid SSN, he’s using a dead persons SSN. That screams illegal to anyone with their eyes open. Bottom line we have someone in the White House that the framers would be turning over in their graves about.

Sorry not affiliated with any Party..Just a original American made man. Thanks have a great day

ahhh you have A birth certificate. A bad forgery at that. When the liberals can’t think of anything to say that makes any sense they start attacking people personally.

In this case the “reporter” brought it up in an interview where it should be , at this point, irrelevant and unnecessary. If a candidate brings it up on their own, that’s something else. It demonstrates either their gross stupidity or their pandering to a fringe group {which is arguably the same as stupidity}
The fact that Perry would bother to meet with trump at all already indicates  his bad judgement to me unless it was in hopes of a big donation. Ultimately Perry said, it’s a distraction, which is correct.
That’s why the “press” doesn’t need to be bringing it into the conversation. On a list of important things to talk about, it isn’t even close.

Please define “original American made man.”
I truly look forward to this.

I hold a original Birth certificate belonging to me from The State of New Hampshire  1962  live free or die state. I hold strong to the state motto . LIVE FREE OR DIE !!!!!!!! Have a nice day I know I will !!

RE: The Birth Certificate
Issue Is Not Going To Go Away. The American People Demand A
Congressional Investigation:

Are the experts who are
coming forward correct? Was the alleged long-form birth certificate
that Obama published, digitally doctored prior to release and, if
so, why? Is Barack Obama compounding his obstruction by engaging in
fraud? These are legitimate questions. Ignoring these questions will
not make them go away. No amount of ridicule is going to make them
go away.

I love my country and I believe that those who serve this nation,
deserve the respect of the American people. But respect is not
automatically given. It must be earned. When it comes to the issue
of his birth certificate, Barack Obama has shown a level of contempt
toward the American people not seen since the days of Watergate.
Faith, trust and respect toward those who govern must be restored.

The American people want the truth and the only way to get at the
truth is to do what Barack Obama should have done long ago. Submit
his actual long-form birth certificate (not a digitally doctored
copy) to a legitimate and unbiased forensic examination. The
American people are entitled to know whether the man occupying the
Oval Office is a fraud!

Sincerely,

I’m thinking of a song by Green Day that describes you and your theory, “American Idiot”

Have a great day Commie !!! I know I will. It is Beautiful day outside.

Yeah, I noticed the bigoted Democrats all jump up in unison to defend Romney’s religion. Hypocrites.

Just pointing out that you’re only losing votes by defending the adversary.

Guess what, communists and anti-white people vote Democrat. Klan types vote Republican. Each side has 5 to 10% who are out there. But you still need their votes. No point in aggravating them for nothing. McCain didn’t get any Democrat votes by attacking the fringe on his side.

Bottom line is people did question the legality of McCain running for president, which upsets the phony racism charge that only Obama has been challenged on this front.

ALERT! ALERT!
Tin foil hat wearer has infiltrated mediaite!

In the “Race-to-the-Bottom” category, Perry will soon offer his 8-8-8 flat tax plan to counter Cain’s nein-nein-nein strategery (if we use that word enough, Bush will get credited when it eventually makes it into the OED).

Actually, Cain’s plan would be a *lot* fairer to the poor if it exempted non-prepared food from the sales tax.

If Democrats want Obama reelected, they should encourage Republicans to rehash the birther controversy.
Seriously, America is very receptive to this important controversy. They can’t wait to hear more about why Obama wasn’t born in the US. In fact, the reason unemployment is so high is because Americans are sitting home day and night waiting for more information about Obama’s Kenyan birth.

So, please, Republican, rehash this issue. You can stop around January 20, 2017.

According to Perry, being Constitutionally qualified to be president is a distractive issue? That remark shows the lack depth of this clown Constitutional knowledge, and character. This jerk is, and has always been an ignorant RINO. The sooner he leaves the list of candidates the better!!  

Oh the horrors!!!  Someone won’t state something definitively that they have no direct knowledge of.   Lock him up and throw away the key!  How dare he suggest even the remotest possibility the ‘chosen one’ isn’t divine?

HILARIOUS

I get this email all the time from my racist right wing grandparents.

Same gps who came UNGLUED the moment I suggested Cain their nominee

BAHAHABAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA AWESOME

What was that interesting information Trump’s investigators found in HI again?

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

KEEP UP THE BIRTHER STUFF YOU IDIOTS

Rick put foot in mouth again I thought everyone that was running for president was off this whole birther crap. Perry should just have said he was born in America then that would be the end of it.

Perry has invited criticism by true independent voters what he means when he dodges the question of Obama’s birthplace.  He should expect fair questions concerning this at future Republican debates.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXS0WzgDGX8&feature=share

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXS0WzgDGX8&feature=share

I wonder if Perry thinks Trump’s hair is real?

Good Boy, Rick.  Good Republicultist.  Here’s a fresh banana for you!

It’s called good sense. Perry doesn’t have it. This lack disqualifies him from higher office.

And as a (happily former) resident of Texas, I can state with confidence that he’s not qualified to govern a state, either.

Clearly, the Republicans don’t need any encouragement to keep on beating this dead horse (which was always imaginary anyway).

What they don’t understand is that the electorate can figure this stuff out for itself. The conclusion is obvious: if Republicans can’t distinguish reality from fantasy on this issue, what’s the likelihood they’ll do better on more substantive concerns, like the economy or national defense?

Actually, the American people don’t give a rat’s ass about this issue, because most of them are *not* obsessive-compulsive crackpots.

But by all means, keep flogging the issue, because it makes the whole right wing look more detached from reality than it actually is.

(makes twirling motion with forefinger in vicinity of temple)

Next!

For awhile there, they were neck-and-neck. But you’re right. Perry has pulled way ahead.

Unfortunately for them (but fortunately for everyone else), they’ve taken the same turnoff to Irrelevanttown, and will soon disappear from national view.

Minnesota and Texas — you clean up the mess.

Only real American’s do care. Tell me what you think when your Anointed one is being hauled out of the white house in handcuffs… The news comes soon

expatpatriot now is commienut. have a great day if your depression does not cause you to commit suicide!!! or commiecide. next!

Good Lord, you’re insane.
You lost in 2008 – get over it. There isn’t a piece of paper that will magically put Grandpa McCain and Secessionist Sarah in the White House.
And again, there is ZERO evidence that he “spent millions” hiding anything. Orly the Birther Queen pulled that figure out of her ambulance-chasing ass.

If the Republicans have any sense at all, they’ll let this issue die. Mentioning makes them all look like goofballs.

Now MY recommendation, since Obama is my preferred president, it for the Republicans to broadcast this blather far and wide. I’d say that’s too much to hope for, but given the foolishness with which the entire Republican field is conducting itself I might get my wish after all.

I’m trusting that the staff at the home keep you away from sharp objects. If not, someone is not doing their job!

Thanks for the new monicker, but I think I’ll keep the one I’ve got. You might want to offer your suggestion to one of your imaginary friends.

To be serious, I think Obama’s skin color is of secondary concern to these loons. What makes them *really* nervous is that he’s Lived.Outside.The.United.States.

He Might.Have.Ideas.

Excuse me, but when did it become Democrats’ responsibility to defend someone’s religion?

You want a religion, get a religion. Don’t ask me about it because I really don’t care.

Except it just makes them look even goofier.

Which I suppose is actually a good thing.

Let’s be accurate. Liberals are able to 1) make sense and 2) torment the moronic and big-mouthed simultaneously.

It’s really not that tough, especially given all ammunition the wingnutariat so willingly provides.

So you believe that Perry’s answer advanced his cause or that of Republicanism generally?

What, are you on Bachmann’s campaign staff? (Or were you until recently?)

My friend, you will never see me defend anyone’s religion. My post had nothing to do with religion, just the complete loss of sanity in the party. Heck, today even that pathetic excuse for a human being Pat Robertson was complaining about how extreme the party has become. Now, if this intolerant hateful huckster calls you extreme, that says something.

Can someone please “Give Birth” to a new idea for a change???

yeah, if it had been a Palestinian dentist on the other hand…

Obama was born in Hawaii. If he had been born in Kenya he would be an American citizen but the question would be if he met the Presidential qualification of being a “natural-born citizen”. OK? Now, if he was born in Hawaii but from a C-section….hmmmm. 

Give it up. They painted over the rock. Nobody ever painted over Senator Byrd, who voted against the Civil Rights Act and started his political life in a sheet.

Well, Pat is right, they have gone too far to the “right”, although I don’t really consider it right.  My idea of right is Charles Lindbergh, et al.

Has anybody considered the FACT that Obama is not legal according to the Constitution Article 2, Section 1, Paragraph 5, which states both Father and mother must be citizens?.  Obamas’ Father was Kenyan and never was a Citizen of the United States, therefore Obama was Born a Brit, no matter where he was born.  And if you don’t think this is enough to disqualify him, then the fact that both parents were not citizen of the U.S. therefore no matter what Obama shows people, the Fact remains he is illegal due to his Father not being a citizen.

There is a video on the net in which Obama announces to a class that he was born in Kenya and not in Hawaii.  True?, Obama knows .If he was not born in Hawaii but in Kenya he is most likely not even a citizen of the US.  His mother did not have the residency requirement to pass citizenship.  Surely Obam is not a Natural Born Citizen which is a requirement for being president.  Guess you haven’t heard that Obama and his family members in the US are using stolen Social Security numbers.  The court is protecting obama on this issue and on learning the real truth in Hawaii about his birth certificate.  Makes little matter where he ws born, he does not meet the qualifications for president.  Aside from the birth certificate and all else Obama has many crimes recorded against him.  If our DOJ was not so corrupt Obama would be in prison.  Congress is starting to look at the issues of Obama.  The FBI should know all but it is part of the DOJ which is corrupt.  The Attorney General is part of the Chicago mob that likes to make its own laws.

Yeah, I am aware that Obama is or was using a ss number issued out of CT, and apparently he has never lived there. That’s what I read somewhere, don’t know if it’s true.

WOW! America, please stop this nonsense now already, it is now becoming extremely embarrassing to watch from across the pond. It is clear and evident the birth certificates produced are fraudulent. The social security number is another beauty. So plwase cousins, lets all across the Globe witness some real and true patriot politics… ARREST THE USURPER. 

Eager, keen and looking to uphold the law. This is the most importatn issue in American History and you wonder why folk are eager ? wow… 

Seems Renny is right huh… 

What laws have been broken, numbnuts?

Uh, no.

Describing some home truths about liberals cannot sensibly be described as a “personal attack” on an anonymous poster who can only be precisely characterized as a “Birther.”

I realize that the truth hurts, but it’s seldom guilty of assault.
