    Default Undead Birtherism???



    The Zombie Conspiracy Can’t Be Killed



    Link

    Like the monster at the end of a horror movie, birtherism refuses to stay down, no matter how
    many times it’s left for dead. It has been over a year since the White House tried to shove a
    long-form stake through the heart of the conspiracy, and yet some Republican politicians continue
    to offer fodder for the fringe which refuses to accept that Obama is the legitimate president.

    It's just the newest leg of the talking points. Don't let it distract you. Ask SMK whether this post "savedor" created jobs...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    yes, for the political cartoonists

    however, birtherism is alive and well among the radical right wing of the gop - not that it makes a lot of difference, the believers are so far to the right that they would not vote for obama at the point of a gun

    This is true. There are still people who believe that it is a "forgery" etc. However they are fringe of the fringe...

    What happened to Trump? He said he had a team of investigators out in Hawaii, and that he was shocked about what he was hearing from them, and that it would explode once their findings were released.

    That guy is so crazy delusional - about everything.

    Has Romney published it anywhere? I know McCain did when facing these same questions.

    McCain did not publish his birth certificate. We've been over this a number of times. It's still not true.

    Sorry, he gave it to Hannity to publish since he isn't part of the media.



    That's like saying that Obama didn't, because all he did was hold it up for other people to put out there.

    Sure he did. Here's a copy:

    That's funny and all, but the fact of the matter is that John McCain never released his birth certificate.

    When asked if he will look for other canidates birth certificates, he said he will IF he recieves the volume of calls from conserned citizens as he did regarding Obama's birth certificate. I saw the interview on television last night. Im sure you will now call me a liar because I dont have a cite to back that up.
