Obama to speak on birth certificate

the point is the tactic. It's cheap, and of the respect I have for you, not only for being a fellow Marylander, but that you tend to approach discussion in a rational manner, even if I tend to disagree with your conclusions, I respect your approach. To stoop to the level of the children in here that use anything they can to smear in supposed joke fashion is beneath you.

j-mac, DP would be what it is if people couldn't joke. I agree there are some jokes that cross the line (and that's why we have forum rules), but jokes and humor are an inherent part of this forum: people on both sides engage in it and it's all in good fun. What destroys debate here is extremism, incivility, irrationality, and blind partisanship, not jokes.

Ok, you have a point here, and I guess I agree. Let's just see what happens going forth, and how it is perceived. But, I agree that jokes are ok.

Speaking of Jokes. Sometimes I listen to Alex Jones when I am driving on the weekend, if for nothing else to entertain myself and have a good laugh. For those that don't know during the 9/11 debates, and whether or not the government was involved, well, Alex Jones was one of the original 'truthers' out there, and to this day stands behind some of those whacky assertions....Here is what he has to say about the BC issued yesterday by Obama.

A silly, whiny book to try and give some excuses for not being able to reason well. :coffeepap

I'm glad you only listen to him for laughs j-mac. I believe that anyone who proclaims to be both a birther and truther is likely just looking for attention.

As I understand it, he needs to prove that he actually earned his education, and it wasn't all about affirmative action.

He went to Harvard... That's better than Palin's schools, and McCain was known for being a poor student. He graduated at the bottom half of his class.

Oh no doubt....When I get a chance I am going to have my wife, a 20 year Graphic Designer for Chicago Tribune affiliate in Maryland take a look at this youtube and tell me her take....My guess is that she will laugh at the assertion.

I rather respect McCain and I don't think he's stupid, but he actually graduated fifth from the bottom in his class at Annapolis. My guess is he probably just didn't take school very seriously.

This is one thing Bush would have done better than Obama. Do you honestly think Bush would have gave two ****s about whether or not anyone saw his birth certificate? We wouldn't even have this "controversy"(and I hat to call it that because that implies that there is something controversial) because he would have not cared enough to give it any legs. I mean look at the 9/11 truthers, he never acknowledged them at all and they look more retarded than birthers, even if only by a slight margin.

The problem with Bush was he didn't give a **** about anything but getting the war.

He didn't know how much fuel prices were at the pump.

He said Americans know how to balance their check books when the economy was bad.

He said the constitution was just a piece a paper.

He didn't give a **** about anything, and that's why he was a bad president.

Oh don't hit me with that 'not all demo's are alike' meme, when in these threads on this issue you have demo's across the board lumping every conservative in with those few that think that Obama is a Kenyan, and using that issue to label non supporters of the liar n chief as racists.

What's good for the goose!

They're not all the same, neither are all conservatives the same... The world isn't black and white, you have to deal with reality.

I wonder if ptif realizes that he has two autobiographies/memoirs out and that they are likely available at his public library. I also wonder what it is ptif knows about other Presidents that he doesn't know about Obama.

That doesn't excuse it. Seriously, it begs the question why do birthers ask more of Obama than others? If you can't answer it, others are left to answer for you. :coffeepap

It's simple really, his father was kenyan (foreign), hawaii was barely a state, and there was the confusuion regarding this long form nonsense. I don't see how questioning his eligibility under the constitution as something wrong, I see they took it far to far, but, like McCain, the question arose.

Well, that's what you get when you try to treat a Conservative like the Conservatives treat Obama... :roll:

That's nonsense rev. Seriously, when you ask something one one person that you don't ask of others, ignore all evidence, and conctinue to push something that is outright silly, you have to ask why?
