Arkansas U.S. Senate Candidate: ‘I Don’t Know Where the President Was Born’

One reason that Republicans are happy to have recruited Rep. John Boozman (R-Ark.) to run against Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) — the odds of a primary win by Republican Curtis Coleman have declined considerably. Coleman talks to the Tolbert Report blog:

Absolutely, the President must produce his birth certificate. I will find out what steps are available to require him to do so, and will take those steps aggressively and unrelentingly. I don’t know where the President was born, which is a matter of immense concern and Constitutional issue for all Americans. If he has nothing of consequence to hide, then there’s no acceptable reason not to have full disclosure.

The “I don’t know where the president was born” part prevents this one from being a case of a candidate just slipping up.

Playing to crazy baseland: good work Mr. Coleman; this should earn you a ticket to looneytown.

I don’t know where the President was born, which is a matter of immense concern and Constitutional issue for all Americans.

By that same logic, I don't know whether John Boozman is really named John Boozman, or whether he's really old enough to serve in Congress. Just because he says that's his name and he's old enough isn't sufficient. We're going to need some documentary proof.

Oh, a “Birther” running for office in Arkansas. That's so surprising and, uh, interesting.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Now if we can just get berfers to run in a few other states, these next 2 election cycles will be a cake-walk for the Dems

Welcome to the “NEW” Republican party. “If you ain't a white, gun-totin, god-feerin', anti-govment hillbilly, we don't want you.” They need to change directions…and fast. They destroy themselves too much it will be bad for the country.

I can't believe that this moron thinks that the God fearing folk of Arkansas would ever vote for someone named after alcohol.

It was not Boozeman but Coleman who asked for Obama's birth certificate.

Weigel's first sentence is confusing.

Ellid, the language policewoman on this blog, got caught speeding.

Could you educate this non-native speaker which alcohol drink is named after Coleman?

If you're too ignorant to know that “booz/booze” is slang for “alcohol,” that's not my problem.

That you're too stupid to recognize sarcasm when you see it is not a surprise.

This is a thorough debunking of the Kenya scenario:
