Birthers Now Taking to the Airwaves
Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 08:27 PM by SpartanDem
As Seen On TV! Birthermercial Asks, Where Was Obama Really Born?

A new birther infomercial running on a CBS affiliate in Texas and elsewhere around the country tells viewers a "got a birth certificate?" bumper sticker can be theirs for the low price of $30.

The 28-minute program -- quite possibly the first ever birthermercial -- features community access production values, heavy use of foreboding strings soundtrack, and standard-issue Birther ideology.

For a $30 contribution, viewers also get a fax sent in their name to the 50 state attorneys general and Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that President Obama produce his real birth certificate.

3. now where did we put that story about a Repugnicon/Birther
responding to the premise that he was shown to, by all legal definitions, be a "naturally-born citizen of the U.S.", that "it still wouldn't matter" to the R.Birther ...

2. Meanwhile, Obama and the Democrats do nothing. :(
Libs in America are always afraid of striking back.

8. what else can be done with this one?
All pertinent documentation has been presented and lies refuted. Maybe they could go after media that perpetuates the bullshit but that media (RW echo chamber) would just crank it up and claim that the Dems are scared.

21. We stand for doing right by those who suffer the most -
So why can't we couple strength and defense and offense in that?

Doing good doesn't have to mean being catatonic or helpless.

Sometimes it means getting out there and throwing punches to protect the most helpless of people.

18. Give them enough rope to hang themselves
As I always say.

Best thing is to ignore. These goofballs aren't worth Obama's time.

5. I want as many birthers as possible to blow $30 bucks on this. It will
be funny as shit when a story comes out in a few years about what these crooks did with all that money.

the ones that say "After we've taken over Iraq, the oil will flow like wine.."

10. I'd love to see some asshat driving next to me with one of these bumperstickers
I love practicing flipping the bird and laughing hilariously at someone when I drive by and then leave them in the dust.

22. I did see one.
I gave the guy a nasty look and flipped him off...he tried to look away until the light changed, then tried to say or yell something before making a quick right turn.
I started to follow him but decided my beer might get warm fucking around w/ him. LOL !

16. For all of the complaints about this being a terrible economy...
caused by Obama, it is amusing that Wingnuts can come up w/$30 for a bumper sticker that is meaningless and a "call to action" for states AG's to question the president's birth.

Cutting into the beer money, food for the kids, diapers, and the amazing amount of gas/diesel necessary to run King Cab dualies must really put a dent in the average muttonhead's budget...;)

17. Pick an older Republican Senator or Congressman. Ask if he/she can produce hospital certif.
I'll bet you a lot of them couldn't produce anything different from Obama's. A friend of mine in his 60s told me he took a poll of his five remaning siblings, asking them, "Can any of you produce the birth certificate our mother was given when we were born? I know I can't." Not a single one could. Most of those siblings -- along with the guy asking the question -- were born at home, BTW.

So let's see some hospital-issued, hand-written birth certs. from some of the big-mouth Repugs. I'll bet quite a few of them couldn't produce one.
