Missouri Republicans Descend Into Birtherism

On July 1, two Republican members of Missouri’s state legislature, and a representative of one other member, showed up at meetings called by Orly “queen of the Birthers” Taitz to discuss the pressing issue of President Obama’s citizenship. According to Tony Messenger, Rep. Cynthia Davis and Rep. Ed Emery, Sen. Jim Lembke sent a staffer to talk with Taitz, and two more Republican legislators were cited as allies in the quest to get a copy of the president’s 1961 birth certificate. (Birthers are not satisfied with the 2007 reprint produced by the Obama campaign last year.)

Jason Noble has more, and the Joplin Globe responded to the meeting with an editorial slamming Emery for obsessing over “this work of fiction worthy of a David Baldacci book.” Emery’s response to the whole thing, reported by Messenger:

Whoever is satisfied is satisfied. Whoever is not, is not.

Maybe <s>Amanda Terkel</s> Dave Weigel could explain why BHO's “birth hospital” is literally covering up a letter he sent them.

Are you seriously that stupid?

First of all World Nutcase Daily is hardly a credible source. Second of all claiming that somehow they removed it from their website but COMMENTING OUT THE CODE? Notice World Nutjob daily didn't even manage to download the actual file that supposedly contained the commented code? All they had was a picture of allegedly commented code.

Let's face it – the GOP can't get the highest office in the land without cheating – so why should we be surprised by this?

There's such a thing as being a Missourian and saying “Show me.” Then there is such a thing as being vicious and stupid, and these jerks have crossed the line. I spent most of my adult life in Missouri, and I'm embarrassed and ashamed by these activities.

I thought that checking on the President was an American thing to do? “Trust but Verify”etc
We should start to call all those who defend BHO's lack of transparency and openess “The Hiders”

7th asterisk down, covers Obama. His mother was a US citizen. It doesn't matter if he was born in the USA or not, by your law and MY law, he IS a natural born citizen. Why do you insist on being such a dumbass? This has been posted over 10 times. I don't want my president wasting time on ridiculous things like this, there are a lot more important problems in this country. (Thanks to our previous dumbass president.)

Imagine this, your boss asks you for your birth certificate and accuses you of not being a citizen because the mentally challenged janitor told him that you were born in Singapore. You produce your birth certificate, but it's not good enough for your boss, he thinks it's FAKE, and you were born in Hawaii. He won't let you take any time off to make the arrangements to get the “long form”, but unless you get it, he's going to reduce your pay because you are “illegal.” How stupid, huh?

You are not getting the POINT. Read the definition of “natural born citizen.” It doesn't matter where he was born, so why do you even care? He could have been born in Kenya and still LEGALLY be president because his mother was a US citizen when he was born! He would have no reason to lie! IT DOESN'T MATTER. Get it?

Thats an easy one;
1 BHO never produced the birth cert. A dubious COLB was posted on a site.
2 Time off to get the original? A phone call would suffice in this case, or just send some officials, or some journos or Dr. Orly Taitz etc
3 If the POTUS is eligible then why the fuss? Show the BC and get on with destroying the US.
Let me know which bits of the above post you cannot understand.

What makes the evidence that
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in…
says is the TRUTH “dubious”? Because you and the other birthers say so? Get a grip and move on! The state of Hawaii has already said that it is a legal document and what makes me believe it even MORE is the fact that I know how badly Hillary Clinton wanted the presidency. I know that she left no stone unturned when it came to digging up dirt on Obama during the primaries. My common sense tells me that she would have sung like a canary if Obama wasn't a citizen and she would be “Mrs. President” right now! Did you forget how dirty politicians play during the primaries then the elections? Do you think John McCain would have let this one slide? It is a waste of time and taxpayer's money to continue down this road. You have no right to complain about any further waste of taxpayer's funds if you keep this ridiculous idea afloat!

kb, you must recall that frank is from the UK and has less than no idea what he's talking about. We've known that for a long time. Plus, as we've also known for a long time, birthers are genetically incapable of providing evidence, answering questions instead of just asking more questions, or sticking with one point at a time.

I salute you for making the effort, though.

Birthers are racist.

For those who say birthers aren't racist, I present here a few quotes from Randwulf. They all appeared on one 109 post thread. I haven't bothered to look at any of his racist comments made in other threads, like the one with 2,869 comments. If you fuss about it someone will compile a master list including comments from others as well, and prove you that much MORE wrong.

Oh, and he also gives away birther philosophy. So this is a Birther Rosetta Stone. Every other word after this sentence is a direct quote of Randwulf, and the last quote is a nod to Florida Christian, so enjoy!

“I think he is an Indonesian wetback, an illegal alien in every sense of the word.” [posted twice on same thread, days apart]

“Monkeys are experts on where to find nuts. Aren't they ALFTURD?”

“Monkeyf@cker.”

“Yes like when you call me a “racist”. Turnabout is fair play MONKEYF@CK!”

“But, its all good. Laugh away. Eat bananas and fling pooh! The monkeys can never run the zoo for very long before more advanced primates must move back in, hose down all the $hit and restore order. Looking forward to that!!”

“Wack-a-doodle? Hmm is that some new kind of mongrel breed or something? Why don't you guys run one of them for office! Oh and this time, make sure he has all his records, so we don't have to go through all this again.”

“I don't remember mentioning race at all, so it is you “making it clear” that I must harbor “racist” sentiments.”

“Man have I got a list of who's been naughty and who's been nice. Got ammo?”

[Birther Philosophy revealed below!]

“Whatever they have, we want to see it. We won't stop until we have it. Argument over it is pointless. The original documents will tell all. And then we will go for all the rest of the documents that he refuses to release.”

[Florida Christian Alert!]

“This whole sick episode would have been laid to rest long ago if…”

Why not All Of You Obama Haters, Lou Dobbs, False News [Fox News], Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Dennis Praeger, Michael Savage & Bill O'Reily, go to [Kenya] and Prove He's from Kenya, along with a Sworn Statement from his…

It would be the Find of the Century !!!

The People in Missouri should all Present their Authentic Birth Certificates…

Unlike that Crazed Lady Presenting a So-Called Birth Certificate in a Zip Lock Bag, which she Claimed is Authentic.

She should be put to the Task of [Proof]

I Requested My SC Birth Certificate, because I Needed it, to Acquire My [Passport] and the SC Department sent me a Miniature State Sealed [Copy]

I Did Not get a Full Sized [Original Birth Certificate]

I Received a [Certified State Sealed Birth Certificate]

I sent that Copy to the US Passport Office and Received My [US Passport] 45 Days Later.

You will Never get the Original Birth Certificate, Because of Security Reasons, Internet, Photo-Shopping and Fraud.

The Fraudulent Misuse of Citizen's Information Information through Scrupulous People & Groups, getting Access to People's Social Security Numbers are Wide Spread.

Imagine the State Showing or Giving Access to Your State & Federal ID to All that wanted Access.

Some of You People are [Hateful & Bitter]

He's Our nation's [44Th President]

Live with and Move On with Life.

He's President Of The USA…

Finished

Pat Boone is a birther and he certainly is no dummie.

In addition to being a great Christian, he is a terrific entertainer and has extensive foreign policy experience in that he went of a Journery to the Center of the Earth where he had to fight dinosaurs and he got blown out of a volcano and everthing.
