    #14 Rush said to not get involved with the Birthers, so I do not believe any of this Birther stuff.

    Uh, Benjamin, if you want to be taken seriously here, you really shouldn’t reveal how slavishly you follow His Rushness… just sayin’.

    #19 Argumentum Ad Nauseum fallacy. Keep repeating a lie long enough and it will be true.

    19,

    *BEEP* wrong answer, Todd. There is every reason to mock the birthers. I just wish one would have the balls to say that stupid shit in front of me so I can do it to their face.

    Stupid mouth-breathing racist idiots. I meant every word, and you people deserve to be called such. You unamerican racist f*cktards need to get the f*ck out of my coutnry.

    #19–Birther Idiot==Defined: someone posting BS that is easily disproved. Living in a world of their own, they have no concept of reality.

    Reality: the first law Obama signed into law after becoming president was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

    Maybe Obama did as you said later, but given your credibility is ZERO– who cares?

    Todd, you are a moron that deserves mocking.

    a) The official document as provided by the State of Hawaii has been published. That is all that is needed. Hawaii has declared unequivocally and provided the necessary documentation to show that Obama was born in the USA.

    b) All presidents sign the same document on their first day, amongst a whole lot of other ‘formality’ documents. Have you actually read it, or are you just repeating mindless talking points? The document you mention states that the President of the United States reserves the right to restrict access to documents and other information as deemed necessary for the security of the country, and that he intends to assert that right. Bush signed exactly the same document. So did Clinton, Reagan, etc. In no place in that document does it mention any of his birth records. Read the darn document before you go spreading misinformation!

    You are clearly worthy of mockery.

    I said that part, partly in jest. I work during Rush, so never hear him.

    As conservatives (and I am serious here), we really do need to put our energy into fighting Obama’s plans, not on the location of his Holy Nativity.

    #26–Benji==”fighting Obama’s plans.”

    Yea, verily.

    Why don’t you “work on” providing your own repuglican solutions, or don’t you have any?

    Yes, the illusive birth certificate. You could say there is a lot being made of the bow when the danger is inside the package.

    Still, the Birthers do have their uses. The fact that they successfully irritate the lefties makes them worthy of appreciation.

    28,

    Too bad you don’t have any real arguments, huh? If the “package” was so toxic you’d be able to make more intelligent criticisms.

    >> Still, the Birthers do have their uses. The fact that they successfully irritate the lefties makes them worthy of appreciation.

    Be careful what you wish for… I am sure that that the majority of ‘centrists’ that are looking at what is quickly becoming the image of the right wing and saying “I want nothing to do with those crazy people.”

    The Republican party is becoming the “Lunatic Fringe Party”… even far right wing sites like “Little Green Footballs” (littlegreenfootballs.com) is wondering if being a Republican is a sane choice anymore.

    No one has shown up with an unmodified short form birth certificate. That is required by the document to be valid. What has been published by Obama is modified and therefore invalid.

    Find me a copy of the virgin file! Ad hominem attacks don’t refute the lack of a valid short form. It merely indicates a lack of defense by Ratherites.

    Dan Rather was a news reporter who tried to take down a president with a bogus document. As it became obvious it was bogus, he stood behind it anyway. He lost his job because of it.

    Sounds more like propaganda with a dash of wishful thinking added for good measure.

    #31…YOU are NOT the one who needs to be satisfied by proof. Chief Justice John Roberts is the guy, and he is satisfied. There’s really no more to this story then, is there?

    Dr Dodd…many of the recent polls show 20% or fewer identifying themselves as Republicans. Why do you think that’s happening?

    Timuchen,

    So the FACT that both the Hawaii Secretary of State (Democrat) and the Governor of Hawaii (Republican) have asserted more than once that they have seen the original document as published by their state, and that it matches what was been published on the web is irrelevant? They have said that they look the same, that the words are the same, that the seal is legitimate. But I guess that we should concentrate on things like a fuzzy ‘R’ on a multiple generation image as used by Orly Taiz to ‘prove’ that the document is fake, and ignore what it actually says outright and the FACT that the state of Hawaii says it is valid.

    Show me ONE piece of evidence that shows that President Obama was not born in the USA… one item that has not been shown to be hearsay, fake or baseless… I dare you… show me ONE thing. You can’t… and to continue to insist in the same disproven and baseless track like you do can only be called what it is: moronic.

    Ad hominem attacks are perfectly valid when calling a person what they actually are, be it a racist, a sexist or just plain a moron.

    It bears repeating… Nixon tried to institute universal medical insurance in 1974. Reagan, in 1884 at the height of the Cold War when America was in its greatest peril, signed a treaty banning torture.

    Now these two conservative heroes are lumped with us commie socialist libruls who want universal healthcare and a ban on torture.

    Just goes to show how far off the edge the current Republican party has gone that Reagan and Nixon are now commie socialist libruls.

    Whoops, Reagan was old but not that old. :) 1984, of course. And dang HTML formatting…

    #34-Baggins-polls show 20% or fewer identifying themselves as Republicans…

    The republican party lost its way under George Bush. The moderate Bush forgot who buttered his bread and paid the price with low job approval numbers.

    If you ask people if they identify with the republican party then the numbers will be low. If you ask who identifies with conservatism then the numbers will go through the roof.

    To receive an accurate reading you have to ask the right question.

    Oh shoot, New York State won’t give me my original birth certificate, only a notarized copy. Am I a natural born citizen?? Some one please tell me?? (Heck, the new copy looks nothing like the original (copy) now that all PHI/SSN/HIPAA stuff has been scrubed.)
