Inhofe Clarifies Claim That Birthers “Have A Point,” Blames White House
Amusing yet oh so disturbing. He needs to go find a pasture he can hang out in for the rest of his life.

Inhofe Clarifies Claim That Birthers “Have A Point,” Blames White House


As you’ve already seen, Senator Jim Inhofe made a big splash today by telling the Politico that the birthers “have a point,” adding that he doesn’t “discourage” their movement.

But he’s now clarifying his claim, and blaming the White House for the persistence of birtherism. Inhofe now says that the birther point he was endorsing was specifically that the White House has not done a good enough job of rebutting the birthers’ charges.

Inhofe spokesman Jared Young sends me this new quote from Inhofe:

“The point that they make is the Constitutional mandate that the U.S. President be a natural born citizen, and the White House has not done a very good job of dispelling the concerns of these citizens. My focus is on issues where I can make a difference to stop the liberal agenda being pushed by President Obama.”


Inhofe is not addressing the birthers’ core argument. He’s simply declining to say one way or the other whether the birthers have a “good point” in declaring the President illegitimate to serve. Also note the extremely respectful tone he accords the “concerns of these citizens.”

Inhofe’s clarification is yet another sign of the birthers’ grip on GOP pols: A U.S. Senator is forced to dance around the question of whether Obama is legitimately the President of the United States.

3. Inhofe the inbred needs to reveal his own
Birth certificate to prove that he's not a product of inbreeding.

4. Birthgate...the gift that keeps on giving.
The only thing missing is Sarah Palin. If she would just jump on the bandwagon and start flapping her yap,
our plan will have worked perfectly.

:evilgrin:

5. The White House has nothing to explain or refute...
To do so would only give their claims some form of credence.

9. This is what happens when you let stupid people breed
Don't these people realize that someone with more power and brains (that explains it) would have checked that long before he ran for office?
