Rep. Mike Castle holds a town hall--the birthers go nuts.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

http://wonkette.com/409982/birther-gal-goes-nuts-on-republican-congressman


Poor Representative Mike Castle! All he wanted was to hold a simple Town Hall and instead he gets some loon shouting about birth certificates, and the audience goes wild. They do not like it so much when he suggests that our president is an American citizen. “The Republican Party has a HUGE problem with its base right now,” declares First Read, diplomatically.

After one lady screams about Obama's birth certificate, and waves her own birth certificate around in a plastic baggie, they all stand up and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

This is in Delaware.

1. I like this from the comments section.

"There’s really no way to deal with Birthers because you can’t tell them that Barack Hussein Obama is in fact an American Citizen, born in Hawaii, and the 44th President of the United States of America. Their minds can’t compute it, because if Obama is a citizen, then he is their legitimate President, and that can’t be, because he isn’t a fat dumb white sack of shit."

How do you get a birth certificate from “The United States”? Mine’s just from the local hospital. And I don’t keep it in a baggie with me at all times. Guess that makes me a muslin?

MarieDeGournay: They haven’t gotten over the 14th amendment in general, so I doubt they really believe in birthright citizenship.



"Forget Obama’s WWII vet grandfather. Forget that under the Constitution, even if Barry WAS born in Kenya, he was born a US citizen by virtue of his mom’s status as a citizen who lived in US America for the requisite number of years prior to his birth. You know the rule: just one drop of African blood is enough to make ignorant racist morans completely lose their shit.

You know what, crazy lady? I wanted my country back for the last 8 years. And now I’ve got it! HAHAHAHAHA fucking HA."


"Then there are the Afterbirthers, who say that the president’s placenta has transformed into a murderous monster which is living in the sewers beneath D.C., waiting to drag innocent children to their doom. We have to take back the sewers!"

LOUD NOISES!!! “with liberty and justice for all… except the gays, coloreds, mooselimbs, nonbelievers, and Socialist Kenyan Presidents. Also, people who don’t stand up during the National Anthem, people who eat salads with anything other than iceberg, people who drive Japanese cars, and people who hate German potato salad.”

All of these fringe people are basically assholes–really, in a professional manner! They are just crazy, mentally-disturbed people. Many are also racists. Many are morons, and many are uneducated in certain areas–and, yes, that includes some redneck moron politicians out there. And we all know there are hard-right Republicans who freak out and resort to desperate measures to do anything they can–including illegal, fringe-baiting moron tactics–to bring down liberals, free-thinkers, progressives, intellectuals, Democrats, anti-war folks and anyone else who poses a threat to their prescious religious-based, conservative-based moronic idiotic views. They went after Bill Clinton with unproven real estate allegations–regarding the Clintons that is, as others were charged and found guilty–and for lying about oral sex! Wow! They went after Jimmy Carter, and they went after Hillary Clinton, and they’ll go after Obama, too. They should all be shipped out to a desert island to live in isolation from the real world.

There’s really no way to deal with Birthers because you can’t tell them that Barack Hussein Obama is in fact an American Citizen, born in Hawaii, and the 44th President of the United States of America. Their minds can’t compute it, because if Obama is a citizen, then he is their legitimate President, and that can’t be, because he isn’t a fat dumb white sack of shit.

Therefore, the best thing to tell a Birther is that if they really love their country and have the big wet sloppy boner for the Pledge of the Allegiance that they proclaim, then they should off themselves for the good for the Nation. It’s what’s best for America.

Her anger makes me angry. You stupid, ignorant moran. Barack Obama’s Grandfather fought in WWII as well. He is just as much an American as your dumb fucking ass. His skin color and the race of his father does not make his any less worthy than your inbred, racist self.

And there is the stupid, too; 50% of the population are below average in intelligence, and 10% of the population are in the bottom 10%.

No, stupid, insane, thats not too suprising, or even too scary, after all, they are stupid and insane, they should be easy to control and are more likely to hurt themselves than anyone else.

No, whats scary is the homicidal Nazi factor; I would not have thought that 15% of the population are homicidal nazis. These people are barbarians, they want blood, they want to bring back the great old traditions, lynchings, pograms, stonings, they want to grab their pitchforks and pickaxes and torches and chase after the monsters that bedevil their dim and delirious minds, they are filled with angry blood lust and they want to kill, someone, anyone, anyone who is not like them, evil libruls, evil immigrant messicans, evil New York Financiers (”Jews,” in pigfucker-speak), and of course the evil negroes who are just waiting to rape their daughters and break in their house and steal their stuff and thats why thank God for the 2nd Amendment.

Scarab: If you peel the far-right paranoiacs and the religious fanatics away from the GOP, you’ve taken away their numbers. The Republicans are small, green, and split three ways: the military nationalist crypto-fascist crew, the religious fanatics, and Capital (which has little to do with the others except manipulate them). Reagan found a way to appeal to all three. Bush got all three on his side eventually. Romney couldn’t get more than one (Capital), nor McCain (military fairies), nor Huckabee (fanatics).

What does this mean? If you peel away the nutters, where does Capital go? Wherever they can. Who knows where that is, but Capital needs to hold those other two close by in order to do its thing (see Cheney, Dick).

CorkPopper is correct regarding President Obama being a U.S. citizen even if he was born in Kenya. Here’s the pertinent law, courtesy of the U.S. State Department:

http://travel.state.gov/law/info/info_609.html

Bottom line: even if Obama was born abroad, the fact that his mother, a U.S. citizen, was physically present in the United States for ten years, five after the age of fourteen, would be enough to transmit citizenship to her son.

For the wingnut losers reading this, I’ll put it in clearer terms: STFU. Thank you.

Liz Cheney Tries to Defend the Birthers
July 21, 2009 10:48 PM ET | Robert Schlesinger

Salon.com's Joan Walsh writes that Liz Cheney, appearing on Larry King's TV show, defended the "birther" movement, which insists that Barack Obama is not a natural-born U.S. and thus should not be president. King apparently showed the video I wrote about yesterday, of GOP moderate Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware getting yelled at and booed by wingnuts. Then, Walsh writes,

and after Carville denounced them as a "poor, pathetic" fringe group, King gave Cheney a chance to distance herself from them. But Cheney demurred, telling King the Birther movement exists because "People are uncomfortable with a president who is reluctant to defend the nation overseas."

Seriously? Might someone point out to her that the birther movement predates the Obama presidency?

Liz thinks that the birther movement exists because Obama isn't "defending" the nation overseas?

These people are so insane it's scary.

[Wraith20878]

13. I sort of feel bad for Castle

He probably wanted to have an actual debate on republican policy, and the meeting gets high jacked by crazies. At the same time though, the republicans have brought this on themselves. These people are pretty much all they have left supporting them, and the moderates are finally realizing just how crazy the right wing extremists are.

[mwb970]

27. Imagine suddenly realizing that most of your supporters are batshit crazy.

There must be a few republican leaders who are aware that with a base of support consisting mostly of embarrassing, insane people, their prospects as a national party are very, very dim. And having Caribou Barbie give red-meat hateful speeches to audiences of wackos will not help, not even a little.
