Brude Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Here is the clip from The Daily Show about the Birthers from the other night. It's a good clip, especially the woman on CNN filling in for Lou Dobbs who completely debunks the whole thing in about 2 minutes, only to have Lou Dobbs a couple of nights later suggest the issue is still not settled.Oh, Lou Dobbs, you rascal!

Prince of the North Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Brude, that's awesome! Words cannot express how much I love John Stewart and The Daily Show! Sadly, I don't always get to see it (not enough hours in the day, etc., etc.) :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanna vander Poele Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Anywho, it's improbable that Barack was born on foreign soil. There are far more pertinent unanswered questions, such as his associate with Ayers.... really? That's what you're interested in finding out?It's because he's a Kenyan Muslim.Naw, it's because his daddy was a Kenyan whose daddy was a Kenyan Muslim. Yeah?Why yes, I have read Dreams From My Father lately :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_BlauerDragon Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I don't actually care where he was born, what his religion is, what his sexuality is, or what his race is. I want him out of office right away because I fear that his continued mismanagement of the Office of the President could prove to be fatal for our nation. I don't want another Dubya, and what I am seeing from BO is a Dubya in Dem's clothing (worse than that, actually). Here's a list of what I have seen from his first few months in office (and I beg you to please correct me if I've gotten any of this wrong):***I borrowed this list from an email that I received from my mother, I chopped out a lot of the ultra conservative B.S. that I did not agree with, and left the ones that I do agree with. - I do not know who the original author was*** 1. Disrespected (and possibly offended) the Queen of England 2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia 3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega 4. Kissed Dictator Hugo Chavez on the cheek 5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia 6. Announced we would be open to meeting with Iran with no pre-conditions 7. Gave away billions to AIG, also without pre-conditions (even gave them a 2nd round of bailouts after they blew the first one on lavish corporate parties) 8. Expanded the bailouts (and continues to try and expand them) 9. Insulted everyone who has ever loved a Special Olympian 10. Doubled or tripled our national debt 11. Announced a termination of the space defense system the day after the North Koreans launched an ICBM. 12. Despite the urgings of his own CIA director and the prior 42 CIA directors, released information on intelligence gathering. There is a good side to this one; He announced major restrictions on interrogation techniques used on enemy combatant prisoners. 13. Accepted without public comment the fact that five of his cabinet members cheated on their taxes and two other appointees withdrew after they couldn't take the heat. 14. Appointed a Homeland Security Chief who quickly identified as "dangers to the nation", groups including veterans of the military, and opponents to abortion, and who ordered that the word "terrorism†no longer be used but instead referred to such acts as “man made disasters". 15. Circled the globe so he could openly apologize to just about everyone for America. I'm surprised that he didn't apologize to Germany for America's interfering with the 3rd Reich!16. Told Mexicans the violence in their country was mostly caused by illegal guns from the U.S. (yet ignored the drug cartels, and the problems that they cause for both countries).17. Politicized the census by moving it into the White House from its Department of Commerce origins and announced ACORN [the organization under massive scrutiny amid allegations of election fraud] would manage the process. 18. Appointed as Attorney General the man who orchestrated the forced removal and expulsion from America to Cuba of a nine-year old whose mother died trying to bring him to a life of freedom in the United States . 19. I have heard, but cannot confirm that he had Air Force One fly over New York City for a photo op without notifying local authorities causing widespread panic.20. Took over the American Automobile industry and handed over 50% of it to the unions [because he said he owed them].21. Continued his drive for absolute gun control activities, thumbing his nose at the 2nd Amendment.22. Offered travel and living subsidies in the U.S. to Hamas activists displaced from the Gaza Strip.23. Got more airtime [TV] than Oprah Winfrey and was seldom in Washington tending to the business of State.24. Announced the closure of enemy combatants detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba but failed to address the issue of 'what' to do with the 200+ prisoners currently held there. Rumors persist that they'll be housed on U.S. soil... 25. Insists that a legally removed dictator in Honduras be reinstated.26. Seems to have developed an obsession with creating new Czars. How many new ones has he come up with now, 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minaku Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I can't even come up with words to refute the majority of that list. When I say majority, I mean close to 20/25, not 14/25.1. Disrespected (and possibly offended) the Queen of EnglandAre you serious? Out of a list of 25 possible transgressions, this one makes the top? Blauer, methinks you need to be a lot more liberal with your editorial snippage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 This amuses me. The Queen hugged the Obamas. She's never even hugged anyone in her own bloody family! That was number one, and the rest are even less convincing, which I think sets new records for delusionalism**Not a word, should be a word.

The_BlauerDragon Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Blauer, it's great that you post because you give us an insight into this perspective that none of us understand...at all. That is not to say that Obama is perfect...it's just to say that something in your subconscious has allowed you to make a 25 point list of all of the things that the president is doing to ruin your life (much of which is debatable on many levels). You are paranoid beyond belief. I'm really surprised that you didn't list that he checked out some hot bootie and that this somehow meant that America was doomed.I'll let the "paranoid beyond belief" bit slide. As for the bootie checking... Did you SEE that booty? That's one of the few things he's done that I've been proud of. I'd have been doing a lot more than just giving her a casual glance, they would have caught me with my eyes intently locked on the prize! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I blame peer pressure for the Booty Thing. Did you see Sarkozy? He's a bad influence on Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsdale! Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 I think we should make a compromise, and say you have to have been born in the continental united states.The right gets no second term for Obama, and the world gets no Sara Palin ever!Alaska isn't on the same Continent as the lower 48 United States? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Monkey Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Sometimes, people say "continental United States" when they mean "contiguous United States", as in the 48 states physically located on the North American landmass immediately to the south of Canada and to the north of Mexico. I think it's similar to how sometimes Great Britain is thought of as being somehow "separate" from Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Storm Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wasn't Palin born in Idaho? A question, how long would a flight be from Hawaii to Kenya take back in the 60s, with a women who was 8 month pregnant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The treacherous world-conquering, white folk-subverting organization known as ACORN would have smuggled Baby Barack and his Trojan Horse of a mother to wherever they needed to be via their secret underground transportation network, powered by the super efficient slave labor of oppressed working class white people.

They'd just wait until he ran for President, forge a birth certificate for him, and then help a bunch of people both alive and dead to vote for him whether they wanted to or not. Oh, wait... It looks like that's exactly what they did. :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_BlauerDragon Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thank God that we got all of those millions of dead people's votes counted...had we not, we may not have gotten Obama selected by the largest margin in 50 years.Yeah, it might even have come down to counting and recounting the votes of the living dead... again!Seriously though, the system is so hopelessly corrupt throughout that if Accorn were to come out tomorrow and say "Yeah, we rigged the election, so what?" I doubt that anyone would be upset about it for more than a day or two before the whole thing would be blown over and forgotten about. We have simply become too accustomed to putting up with crooked politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
