These people are completely fuckwads.

Here, a moderate Republican is trying to tell people that Obama is, indeed, an American citizen... and the ignoramuses (ignoramii?) in the crowd want nothing to do with it.



The birthers assault on the GOP... yes the GOP... continues. They're killing their own party.

1. k & r n/t

[Life Long Dem]

2. We just got our country back and they want it back?

:rofl: Sorry, but "NO!!" It's our turn!

[bluestateguy]

3. What a cackling, whining bitch

When you criticize the president, bin Laden wins.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. WTF is with the title? "PeeBo's Birth Certificate"?

[drm604]

11. I was wondering the same thing.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peebo

1. Peebo
Nickname for UK city, Peterborough as coined by Norman from Werrington, UK on Andy Burrows' breakfast show on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

1. My brother-in-law works as a fork-lift driver in Peebo.
   
2. That bloke from Erasure was from Peebo
   
3. Yes, I do know where Peebo is.

2. Peebo
Peebo is a nickname for Peterborough, a city in Cambridgeshire in the UK. It was defined by a listener to a programme on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
Many trains from London to Scotland pass though Peebo.

3. Peebo
An occurance in which ones pants become erected displaying of what appears to be a boner but is in fact not.

An involuntary erection of the pants. Also known as, 'pants boner'.

Commonly occurs when wearing cargo shorts, but can happen with any sort of pants or shorts.
As he sat down he noticed a peebo had developed.

The peebo was swiftly flattened before drawing attention.

His peebo was enormous in contrast to his .........

:shrug:

[texasleo]

29. Pee= the letter "P" as in President. bo = Barack Obama

[AspenRose]

5. Someone posted this in the comments

"Republicans don't need this issue any longer. There are plenty of other issues like the economy and health care that is making the president's poll numbers drop like a lead balloon. Sarah Palin is just six points behind Obama in a 2012 matchup."


I'd like to know from what poll they're quoting THAT information! :rofl:

Good Lord, the crazies have taken over the asylum. What was that about her family being in the greatest generation and fighting in WWII....um, President Obama's uncle fought in WWII also!

*shaking head*

She might as well jumped up and said "Black people in this country aren't REAL Americans and shouldn't be running the country" because that's what she REALLY means.

[CalGator]

7. among moderate republicans polled?

She would lose 40 states + DC. I sure hope she runs and is nominated.

[AspenRose]

8. "Moderate Republicans" go by another name these days..."Independent"

:rofl:

[fascisthunter]

6. lunatic fringe

[grantcart]

9. They are eating their own, they must think that their party is too big

I wonder if the woman's father was in the same army division as Obama's grandfather.

[LynneSin]

10. oh goodness, the lunatics are in my state

Castle isn't as vile as most republicans. He'd be the last one to buy into that crap. Geez, one of his closest friends is VP Biden.

[AspenRose]

12. He's a dying breed....made in the Lincoln Chafee mold

Poor guy. Wonder if this was an epiphany for him!

Maybe they're in "slower lower" :-)

[LynneSin]

13. I think he wins because his last name is Castle and our largest county is New Castle

which is upper Delaware, the blue land.

Honestly, he's like a favorite grandfather. Everyone knows him, everyone has a story about how they met him. Hell I have pictures of me posing with him (He lives about 6 blocks from me).

He's not so vile. But I still won't vote for him

[jberryhill]

27. Among other things... he's a direct descendant of Ben Franklin /nt

[zulchzulu]

18. Is that a downstate accent?

Slower Delaware region? Milford?

[Sheltiemama]

35. He must have been scared when they turned on him.

I would have been. And when they stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance in unison ... that was scary to watch. It felt like they were very close to violence.

[grantcart]

14. If you click through to the original source there is very good summary of Rep problems in this area

17. Thank you

"But the certificate is specific about Obama’s birth in Honolulu, down to the 7:24 p.m. time.

“It’s crazy,” said Janice Okubo, director of communications for the Hawaii Department of Health. “I don’t think anything is ever going to satisfy them.”

Okubo, who said that she gets weekly questions from Obama ‘Birthers’ that are “more like threats,” explained that the certificate of live birth reproduced by Obama’s campaign should have debunked the conspiracy theories. “If you were born in Bali, for example,” Okubo explained, “you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate. But it’s become very clear that it doesn’t matter what I say. The people who are questioning this bring up all these implausible scenarios. What if the physician lied? What if the state lied? It’s just become an urban legend at this point.”

In other words, nothing will satisfy them. NOTHING. And they're THREATENING her? Bastards. :mad:

[Hansel]

22. A particularly elaborate and clever part of Obama's citizenship fraud

was for him to put his birth announcement in two Hawaiian newspapers the week he was born. This man is absolutely brilliant and forward looking. Decades ahead of everyone.

During the campaign someone was criticizing him because he said he wanted to be president when he was in kindergarten. Hell, he was already scheming when he was a day old. Clever little alien.

Good grief, what morons they are.

[zulchzulu]

15. The other Birthers clapping with the skank are just as stupid as she is

The woman is a fanatic. She has mental health problems. It was apparent in her anger and her flapping of her arms and, knowing the accent she has, she is white trash that never completed high school. She is a dumb ass wanker and the old fuckheads around her cheering will soon be talking dirt naps soon enough.

Fucking Palin supporters...

[Orsino]

16. When you train your supporters exclusively with stupid, violent rhetoric...

...it's not fair to complain about their acting stupid and violent.

[WeDidIt]

19. The GOP OWNS the Birfers

Birfers are going to guarantee Obama gets re-elected with tehir shit.

I love the Birfers.

[WeDidIt]

20. Limbaugh now fully on board with the Birfers

He just played the audio of this thing.

[tblue37]

21. What is most bizarre is that these ignoramuses don't realize that it

does not matter in the least where Obama was born. He could have been born off-planet and he would still be an American citizen, because his mother was an American citizen! He was undoubtedly born in Hawaii, but even if he were not, he would still be an American citizen!

[Veruca Salt]

23. Did you ever see the movie version of Stephen Kings 'The Mist'?

It has a crazy fundamentalist woman who turns others in the story into violent fundamentalists. That's what these people remind me of.

[snake in the grass]

30. I saw "The Mist" and...

...what happened to Ms. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden did an excellent job) is what I wish for all these people. We would be better off as a species without them. I know some here will find my attitude horrible, but I'm at a point where I just don't care anymore. Whatever the issue, it's always these types waiting around the corner to drag us make into the Dark Ages. At the very least, they need to be marginalized and observed.

[snake in the grass]

31. "make" = "back"; too late to edit n/t

[Veruca Salt]

32. She did do an excellent job; her character scared me

more than the creatures. And on another note, when she met her demise the theatre erupted into applause; so you're not alone. In fact, I was one of those applauding so I guess I'm horrible too. :hi:

[snake in the grass]

33. The monsters were just the vehicle...

...used to deliver the real story, and that was how we behave during a catastrophe. It could have been a natural disaster. Harden was, indeed, very scary. To be honest, it's people like that, who scare me the most in life and as it stands, we have more of those here than anything else. I saw the movie on DVD so I missed out on the applause, but thanks for sharing that with me. I don't know if you read the original story, but it doesn't end quite so horribly. The film shows a situation I'm not sure I could live with. Very sad.

[Number23]

24. This keeps up, and they're going to start banning white people from Repub events

Which will force the organizers to talk amongst themselves, I guess because there sure as hell won't be anyone else there... :shrug:

Wow. Between the Birthers, Michael Steele, Lindsay Graham and Rush Limbaugh, the Repubs are getting screwed more than a blow up doll.

[Solomon]

25. Man I crack up every time I watch this thing.

[vaberella]

26. The posters on Politico are as nutty as those in this audience. n/t

[Critters2]

28. Wow. Classic mimetic crisis building to a mob mentality.

It's only about a half step from here to real violence. And when that happens, the GOP will be responsible.

[Cha]

34. How ironic..the little brained birfers have

gone cannibalistic on the republicons.

[zonkers]

36. First off, that woman sounded drunk. 2nd. I liked how Castle handled himself. DId not even

raise an eyebrow to such a ridiculous assertion.
