Blackburn-Sponsored Birther Wingnuttery Reaches Hysterical New Heights

Posted by Brantley Hargrove on Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 11:27 AM

Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook -- the high-ranking douche who re-enlisted for the sole purpose of refusing deployment on the grounds that Obama is not a natural-born citizen and, therefore, not actually president -- has some company.

Or, at least, this is what "jumpy, pie-eyed" faux-torney Orly Taitz claims. There are supposedly 170 other soldiers who are willing to file similar protests, according to the Daily Beast. One can't help but wonder if the sponsorship of congressmen -- like CongressMAN Marsha Blackburn -- haven't given some kind of tacit approval and legitimacy to this ridiculous cause with shades of white fear and racism.

Never mind that this conspiracy theory has been debunked time and time again -- Obama's certificate of live birth, certified by Hawaii's REPUBLICAN governor. Or the birth announcements in two Honolulu newspapers. These crackpots won't be happy until a white man is in the White House.

As far as pandering moves go, Blackburn's support for this bill is about as pandery as it gets -- legitimizing this lunacy without specifically vouching for the Obama Birther fringe for votes.

Typical lefty dave. . .try to win for your side via ad hominem attack rather than address the issue. . . pathetic buffoon. how about logically challenging my points?
obamabots. . .ask yourselves:
why doesn't he show the long-form?
doesn't that bother you? if not, you really are twisted.
If Obama has a long-form, why doesn’t he show it? If he doesn’t have one, why not? People that hide things, usually have something to hide. He works for us. We have a right to know! We have a right to demand it!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to send a message to Obama and to EVERY OTHER POTENTIAL VIOLATOR OF OUR RULE OF LAW!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA, STOP HIDING. SHOW US THE LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!

All of this doesn't matter. Let the crazies like Captain Steve rave on.
Here's what matters:
"President Obama"
Live with it Cap'n.

Even if B.O.'s long form birth certificate showed that he was born in a U.S. hospital, he still is UNQUALIFIED for the office of President since his father was a British citizen living in Hawaii on a student visa. Prez Barry IS at most a dual citizen which DISQUALIFIES him for the highest office of this land. Every law passed since he took the oath is invalid. He took an oath before G-d to defend the Constitution, so let's all pray that G-d will answer his oath by removing him from the office he is no qualified to hold.

But birther nuts in uniform should be aware: refusing to obey the orders of the commander in chief is: a) treason; and b) a crime punishable by at least imprisonment, but that penalty could be death since -- as the right-wingers have reminded us for many years now -- we are "a nation at war" and we should "support the President" in a time of war.

Willie, same for you:
"President Obama"
Repeating the same silly shit (which is factually wrong, by the way, and not what our Constitution says) doesn't change it:
"President Obama"
You must live with it, too.

Greetings, fellow travelers. I'm giving you the familiar salute right now. Hey, like we always say at the conspiracy conventions, where there's smoke, there is always fire. That is why we KNOW for a fact that Obama was not born here. In fact, I have seen no evidence that he was born anywhere on this earth. This ranks right up there with Bush endorsing the 9/11 attacks, but the mainstream media refuse to investigate either, leaving it up to us patriots to do so. While I'm at it, Clinton definitely killed Vince Foster, aliens are responsible for the Nasca lines in Peru, the Illuminati are in the final stages of taking over the world, and The Da Vanci Code was 100% historically correct.

Last time I checked, birth in this country was automatic citizenship, Willie. So, there's that.
I love the logic: Because President Obama doesn't humor the Birthers, he must have something to hide.
Oh, and CAPITALIZING EVERYTHING I SAY, FOLLOWED BY NUMEROUS EXCLAMATION POINTS ARE SURE-FIRE WAYS TO GET MY MESSAGE ACROSS MORE EFFECTIVELY!!!!!!!

THAT'S RIGHT Hargrove!!!!!! See how I didn't capitalize your name? No accident. What do you think about that?????
I happen to have rock-solid proof that Obama is not a natural born citizen. Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin have been visiting me in my dreams and have told me so. They also have been telling me to keep at it until Hussein resigns and is deported.

Marsha Blackburn is nuts, you have to be a blind idiot to not realize Obama has not released one document to prove his elgibility. The CERTIFICATE OF LIFE BIRTH he had posted has been scrubbed by his own people, the archives scrubbed as well. Big problems are brewing for this country, this man is not eligible to be president, he has committed fraud to millions of voters, and by knowingly circimventing the constitution, he has committed treason. That is a fact jack. This is not going away, just like Watergate dripped for a year or so, then got its own legs, well old buddy, this now has it own legs. All that Obama has to do is release his document, birth certificate, college records to show he wasn't a foreign student. His SELECTIVE SERVICE registration was released under the FREEDOM ON INFORMATION ACT , and it is a proven fraud, just google. Now if he has no valid SELECTIVE SERVICE registration, what does that tell you? he was not a citzen and didn't have to register.

You people all need to get a life and accept the fact that Barack Obama is Commander and Chief. We are better off than we were the past eight years with the neo-Cons at the helm. You are all racists and just can't stand the fact that a black man born in Africa is now the President of the United States. The fact is, the majority of the people in this country understand that this is a non issue and could care less that Obama wasn't born in the US --- it's just a technicality people!!!! What difference should it make if Obama was born in Kenya and then came back to Hawaii when he was a couple weeks old? You right wing nuts are grasping at straws. The constitution was written over 200 years ago and it's an absurd requirement anyway.

TSmith, you are nuts. Obama was born in Hawaii. Just because you and the others who hate having a black President made up a bunch of crazy shit and posted it on the internet does not oblige him to do anything. In fact, the idea that you can make up nonsense, put it on the internet, and then file lawsuits to make the victim (n this case, Obama) disprove it is crazy in and of itself.
President Obama.
That's the two-word reality. Live with it, nutjobs.

Aw, Captain Steve, it's not just his "long-form" birth certificate that we should be interested in.
It's that Certification of Live Birth allegedly issued by the state of Hawaii to Barry-boy, and from which those two computer graphic images (JPGs) were purportedly scanned by the Obama campaign in June 2008 and e-mailed to their butt-buddies at DailyKos and the J-school Annenberg Foundation jerkwads at FactCheck.
Do you realize that NOBODY outside the Obama campaign - except those fumblenuts Obamaphile at FactCheck - has ever claimed to have seen or touched a print-on-paper, officially signed and sealed Hawaii COLB attesting to their Messiah's birth in Honolulu?
Nobody. Now, wouldn't you think that Barry and his handlers would've put that supposedly real COLB into the hands of a panel of impartial competent forensic documents examiners (y'know, like those boffins you see portrayed in those police procedural pornography programs like *CSI*) to confirm that it does, indeed, exist, and that its validity and provenance have been confirmed?
That not having been done, you'd kinda have to figure that the 2007 COLB is about as real as the average Obamaphile's personal dreams of having Barry's baby, and those JPG images really were nothing more than slammed-together forgeries testing the Photoshop skills of one of the Messiah's flunkies.
So it's not just the "long form" vault birth certificate we'd like to see, Steve.
It's also that mystical, magical, wonderful Certification of Live Birth.
It was supposed to have existed in June 2008. So what happened? Did a white dove descend from heaven and carry it up to Barry's daddy, who's keeping it safe for His Only Begotten Son?

Obama could send a clear message with a court marital of Major Cook, however Major Cook could access orginal source documents, birth certificate, school records and immigration records. The truth is absolute defense. So until Mr Obama will court martial someone this story will continue to grow.

Willie
Are you actually that stupid that you don't even understand fundamental aspects of U.S. immigration law? The nationality of ones parents is irrelevant if you are born inside the United States. Birth within the United States makes one a citizen of the United States. It's how I became a citizen. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that someone who probably thinks the Flintstones is a documentary film would be so stupid and ignorant about the actual laws of the nation.

ATTENTION ALL BIRTHERS!!!
You know what- you're right.
I've thought about it long and hard, and I've finally come to the conclusion that the only way we're going to be able to get this story OUT and around the EVIL MSM is to continue showing up to Town Halls and rallies for Republican Congressmen, and DEMANDING that they take the issue up with THAT FRAUD in the WHITE House.
The crazier, the better.
WE CAN'T LET THIS STORY DIE!
I'm POSITIVE that once our Saviour for 2012 has finally freed herself from those horrible reigns of 'Governdom' next week she will be joining us and the USURPER will be FINISHED!!
Just remember- the more cameras around, the more public the venue- the more coverage you'll get, so let's get cracking!

What's wrong with asking for a long-form certificate with the details of the birth information. The newspaper announcements from Hawaii are put in there for anyone that applies for a short form certificate to have for their newborn, even if not born in Hawaii! So much for transparency. I guess we wouldn't want to actually do what the Constitution asks of us, would we?
