Texas Congressman Dons Tinfoil Hat, Jumps On Birther Bandwagon

[WeDidIt]

A Response to a Birther from Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX):

Thank you for contacting me in regards to President-Elect Obama’s eligibility to hold the office of President. I appreciate having the benefit of your views on this issue.

Dozens of lawsuits challenging Mr. Obama’s eligibility to serve as President have been filed in state and federal courts all over the country, including a suit filed by former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Philip Berg that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear on January 12, 2009. Mr. Berg is now attempting to sue in the name of a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel to determine whether Mr. Obama is qualified to give orders calling the colonel back into the service. Please know that I will continue to closely follow this important legal issue as it works its way through our judicial system.

You are right to be concerned with anything as important as the Constitutional requirements for holding the highest elected office in this country. Failing to be concerned would send a message that the law just doesn’t matter if you’re in a high enough office. I believe the system will work and the whole truth will eventually be public. In the meantime, I truly do appreciate your input and also having the opportunity to be your servant in the United States House of Representatives.

With kindest regards, I am

Very Truly Yours,

Hon. Louie Gohmert

This guy from tnhe First Texas Congressional District is now ripe for ridicule.

1. Sorry, I don't see it...

Reads like a bland form letter designed to keep the activists happy while agreeing with none of the charges and promising nothing in the future.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. Yeah, I sort of agree with you there.

There's no placating these folks.

4. By saying "whole truth will eventually be public":

he has demonstrated that he does not believe what haas been presented already.

5. I dunno, seems fairly non-committal to me

It could just mean that the vault copy of the birth certificate will eventually be produced in order to shut the birthers up once and for all (though I believe that doing this would undermine the principle established in law that a certified copy is equal to the original in all respects).

12. I don't read see that....

I too believe that the whole truth - i.e. that Berg, Taitz, and Donofrio are charlatans - will indeed be made public.

And sooner than later. The Judge in the Hollister case has held Berg's pro hac vice motion in abeyance, and intends to first examine Berg in open court as to his qualifications, good faith, and legal foundation of the complaint.

Like the rest of the letter, it is absolutely non-committal.

What the letter says is, "There are court cases pending, and that's that." Of course, these cases have a 100% fail rate thus far.

8. I agree.

He's keeping the idiot constituent's favor and hopes up while promising nothing and agreeing with nothing.

2. "whole truth will eventually be public"

Except for the FACT that the "whole truth" IS public.

Ya just can't make this republic shit up, LOL!!!


Rightwingnuts; truly the dumbest fucks ever.

6. What a dope.

He should have replied: Don't be stupid. Get a job. In disgust, your congressman.

7. I've seen this rectum on my local TV station in East Texas.

He's a real brainless wonder.


Wouldn't know the Constitution if it bit him in the rear.

9. Goo goo Gohmert has always been ripe for ridicule

I'm amazed the man manages to dress himself in the morning.

[Skidmore]

10. Gomer is a flat-earther too.

11. "Hey there good lookin', want to feel my stimulus package?"

Opps, sorry, the Republic party ain't got one.
