Gov. Neil Abercrombie to abandon efforts to dispel claims that President Obama was bo

I'm not dense, but I'm having second thoughts about you. This isn't a mathematical issue. Your point applies only IF a person [is] born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, etc.

There is no evidence that he was born outside the geographical limits of the US, no matter how much birthers wish it were so. That is the conspiracy theory that I am asking somebody to prove.

you claimed he was a citizen even if he wasn't.....it just took me two pages to get you to realize you were wrong.....the least you could do is admit you fucked up.....

I not only claimed, I said it's indisputable that he's a citizen because he is:

(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;

OTOH, you are claiming he wasn't born in the US and are using (g) as your argument.

I'm waiting for you or somebody to produce the smoking gun that will make (g) a valid argument. So far neither you nor anybody else has done so.

The least you can do is admit that it's wishful thinking to claim Obama wasn't born in the US.

I could have sworn you had said something about g) that I was arguing with....oh yes, here it is....


Apparently not.

If he was born in the US, then (a) applies.

If birthers are correct and he wasn't born in the US, then (g) applies.

as I said when this argument began, g) doesn't apply.....three pages after being proven wrong you still won't admit you fucked up.....

as far as wishful thinking, it would certainly be amusing if he wasn't born in the US....I expect that would set the Democrats back thirty, forty years.....those are results worth pressing for......
 
E=NigelTufnel;764050]The Rahm issue isn't even a close question. The decision is so patently wrong that I'm not willing to invest any of my time looking into it.

odd, you just claimed it was because you would rather eat a bowl of hair than debate me, now its just plain wrong therefore you won't invest time looking into it....but you will invest time into insults and attacks....:rolleyes:

The issues are not identical. Resolution of Obama's eligibility is a question of fact: Was Barack Obama born in Hawaii? Resolution of McCain's eligibility is a question of law: Is a person born that was indisputably born in Panama a "natural born citizen?"

This isn't difficult stuff, Yurt.

fair enough, but as i said, the ultimate issue is identical, for if it is factually determined he was born in kenya, then it becomes a question purely a question law: whether one born in kenya to one american citizen, qualifies as a natural born citizen...in either case you have facts to determine

a question of fact also existed in mccain's case, that is, was the hospital mccain born in under american jurisdiction, however, the court never reached that issue as the plaintiff lacked standing

Just for giggles, where do you think he was born?

I didn't claim it was because I would rather eat a bowl of hair, I was simply pointing out an alternative activity I would rather undertake than debate the issue with you.

This is stupid. Of course the ultimate issue is the same, but that's like saying that all criminal cases are the same because the ultimate issue is the same: did the defendant do it.

Whether the hospital is under American jurisdiction is a question of law.

yes, attacks and ad homs are so cool!!

um...that is the ultimate issue in all criminal cases, except where there is a justifiable defense :pke:

no, if you read the complaint it was an issue of fact, in that, did it exist and was it on american property, the location was an issue, not its legal status
 
Obama could just agree to it's release. That would put all this to an end. Why won't he?

Must have been born in the middleast and is a secret jihadi. That's the only conclusion.
 
Dude, in the one lawsuit that I am aware of the plaintiff, Fred Hollander, did not dispute the place of McCain's birth and didn't sue to get a looksee at McCain's birth certificate.

What lawsuits are you talking about?
Go back and look at the links I posted, dude.
 
Or look here where it was subpoenaed.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/01/AR2008050103224.html

"One person who disagrees with that premise is New Hampshire resident Fred Hollander, who has filed a suit in U.S. District Court claiming that the Republican candidate is "not a natural born citizen." In an attempt to prove his argument, the 49-year-old computer programmer filed a subpoena last month seeking McCain's birth certificate. "

Now, whether or not the guy was successful or unsuccessful (as attempts have been for the same from the other candidate in that race) doesn't change that it was exactly the same question for the white guy running against the black guy...

I also linked to the controversy over one of those 43 "before" that you said have never been asked for birth records. You seem to have missed it as well.

Instead you continue on this race baiting BS. While I'm not a "birther" I am curious as to what the outcome of this will be.

Especially when we get stunts like this one:

http://www.eutimes.net/2011/01/hawaii-official-now-swears-no-obama-birth-certificate/

I'm always fascinated by things like this, just as I was to learn about Chester A. Arthur who has some very compelling parallels with Obama on this particular matter.
 
Yeah, I did that, dude. You appear to be mistaken.
Except I'm not. I reposted the link along with the quote. You keep trying to "cast doubt" but the reality is. McCain faced lawsuits for his BC, just like Obama has. The real difference? You just want nobody to question the guy who won, ever.

I also pointed out to you one of those "white guys" who had the same problems while in office. You know one of the "previous 43 white guys" you said had never been asked for birth records? Yeah. It's happened. I even linked to current stories about it, likely looked into because of the parallels I mentioned.

Now you can go to every effort to attempt to race bait on this one, but every one of your "it never happened" actually has happened. Even one of those "previous 43" that you assumed had never been questioned...

No, you're wrong. As is typically the case, you just refuse to acknowledge it. McCain did not "face lawsuits for his BC." McCain did face lawsuits challenging his eligibility for the office, but his place of birth was not dispited, unlike Obama.

I also pointed out to you one of those "white guys" who had the same problems while in office. You know one of the "previous 43 white guys" you said had never been asked for birth records? Yeah. It's happened. I even linked to current stories about it, likely looked into because of the parallels I mentioned.

Was he asked for birth records and did people demand to see the long-form birth certificate after the produced the short form or did someone just claim that he wasn't born in Vermont and write a book about it?


Now you can go to every effort to attempt to race bait on this one, but every one of your "it never happened" actually has happened. Even one of those "previous 43" that you assumed had never been questioned...

First, I didn't race bait. I was merely explaining why a black guy might take issue with the demand.

And I only had one "it never happened" and guess what? It never happened.

I've already addressed this one. Hollander did not dispute McCain's place of birth.

Yeah, I've addressed the Chester A Arthur point, as well. And really, the idea that 1 out of 43 white guys were questioned on this point whereas the only black guy was questioned on this point doesn't really do you a whole lot of good, even assuming the two situations are 100% the same.
