Help me with another anti-Obama email, please, DU!

[magellan]

This is really irritating me now, after being reported for "spamming" to my ISP for debunking one of these yesterday. Now I've got an email titled "Columbo still scratching his head?" that contains a list of things Columbo (the detective) is asking Obama for. One of course is his birth certificate, which is already covered by Snopes. Can you help me debunk the rest please? TIA.

1. Occidental College records -- Not released
2. Columbia College records -- Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper -- 'not available'
4. Harvard College records -- Not released
5. Selective Service Registration -- Not released
6. Medical records -- Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule -- 'not available'
8. Law practice client list -- Not released

10. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth -- Not released
11. Harvard Law Review articles published -- None

1. Ask the sender to provide any of the same...

records for John McCain. Until they do, they must STFU.

Always stay on offense, don't defend or explain or do their legwork.

9. What I found most interesting on Snopes

...was the site's comment about demanding a birth certificate: "...(as if that were a typical expectation of presidential candidates)..."

Indeed. Since when do we demand to see birth certificates of candidates? Since Obama, that's when. Let's just forget that Bush** has never produced a proper accounting of his time as a fly boy (more like barfly boy), or that copies of his college records, etc, weren't produced before he was selected.

I'm starting to get a good idea of how to respond to this crap....

10. Thank you for the additional remarks

You're right, I'm going to take the offensive!

2. Here's my response

Says who - where's your proof?

4. And don't forget to mock them with ridiculous requests like ...

... grocery lists and cable bills, etc.

12. Credit reports!! n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

14. Prescription drugs! n/t

16. Bar tabs! n/t

21. Do hookers give out receipts? Do pole dancers? n/t

3. Ask for McCain's baptism

It doesn't exist because he wasn't baptized.

Are all of the similar things available from McCain? Medical records? College papers? Any scholarly articles? Any? Just one?

Tell Columbo to check McCain's 'records' and get back to you afterwards.

13. I've read about McSame never being baptized in his new church

That's a good one to throw in, thanks!

5. Seriously

...Don't bother answering that Reich-Wing trash.

[magellan]

15. That's usually my response to requests like this

But I find that being on the receiving end of it myself ticks me off too much to let it go.

6. I thought you were here in the primaries when all of these were debunked

Come to think of it......... YOU WERE.

[magellan]

17. Why don't you just come right out and say what you mean, Iching?

7. Ask for McCain's military records too!

I can't remember the name of the form, but someone will. Say you heard there was evidence that he gave away secrets & you heard if from when he was running against Bush in 2000. Let's make them wallow in their own slop!

Good luck!

[magellan]

18. Good one, I'll include that

And welcome to DU! :hi:

[OHDEM]

22. Thank you!

:hi: All of us angry, radical leftist have to stick together, right? ;-)

8. How about telling whoever sent this that it's none of their

business...mccain hasn't released any of these things...his baptism? The records for State Senate and US Senate are at their sites, public records....the rest are private records and none of their business...the law practice client list would even be against client/lawyer privilege to release...

[magellan]

19. Yes, I'm now working along those lines with the advice given here

Thanks.

11. Has anyone ever asked for any of that?

Make the person prove that someone has asked for all of that and Obama hasn't released it.

WTF should someone need to see his baptism record?

Plus, any scholarly articles would be available in the journals they were published in. People would only need to go to a library and look them up under his name.

[magellan]

20. You're absolutely right, that's the first thing I'll say

Thanks.
