Hawaii considering law to ignore Obama 'birthers'

[DearAbby]

HONOLULU – Birthers beware: Hawaii may start ignoring your repeated requests for proof that President Barack Obama was born here.

As the state continues to receive e-mails seeking Obama's birth certificate, the state House Judiciary Committee heard a bill Tuesday permitting government officials to ignore people who won't give up.

"Sometimes we may be dealing with a cohort of people who believe lack of evidence is evidence of a conspiracy," said Lorrin Kim, chief of the Hawaii Department of Health's Office of Planning, Policy and Program Development.

So-called "birthers" claim Obama is ineligible to be president because, they argue, he was actually born outside the United States, and therefore doesn't meet a constitutional requirement for being president.

Hawaii Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino issued statements last year and in October 2008 saying that she's seen vital records that prove Obama is a natural-born American citizen.

But the state still gets between 10 and 20 e-mails seeking verification of Obama's birth each week, most of them from outside Hawaii, Kim said Tuesday.

A few of these requesters continue to pepper the Health Department with the same letters seeking the same information, even after they're told state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest. Responding wastes time and money, Kim said.

Now I went over to see how those in the basement were taking this news, thought you may be interested:

Personally, I think the best case to overthrow the Health Care Law in the Supreme Court is to argue that it was signed by a man who never proved he had the credentials to be the President of the United States. (Part sarcasm)

How old is Hawaii? They act like they are 3yo. When I was 3 I used to stick my fingers in my ears and yell “LALALA I’m not listening”.

Here In the Cascade Free Zone we are considering a law to ignore Obama and everything that comes out of Washington DC.

I'm constantly struck by mediabots ... who ignorantly construe being born on Hawai'i gotta be a "natural-born citizen"! Such a flat-footed, false construction does not get more believable by repeating the unConstitutional lie.

And the media have their mimics right here on FR! They are presented w/truth but ignore it because it doesn't fit their agenda. Same with the Palin trashes - they mimic the media incessantly. These pawns repeat the same lies over and over - propaganda.

This might work if there was case law that other presidents had to prove their citizenship (for whatever reason), unfortunately this is not the case.

1. Why would they even bother giving lowlifes any attention by making this stupid law?

Just ignore them and be done with it. There is no need to make it a law.

[Skittles]

2. technically they are supposed to respond

that's the point of the law - to make it legal to consider these folk exactly what they are - nutcases, not worth the taxpayer's expense

[dmr]

4. Exactly. It's wasteful of staff time, energy and taxpayer money. n/t

5. So now conservatives hate Hawaii?

Is there any limit to the things and people that these people will hate? Do they have an endless reservoir of hate inside themselves?

How terrible it must be to be a conservative wacko. 100% negative. Yuck.

7. The best one...

"How old is Hawaii? They act like they are 3yo. When I was 3 I used to stick my fingers in my ears and yell “LALALA I’m not listening”."

Funny, that's what I thought the birthers were doing by not listening to anyone who tells them that the President was really, truly born in Hawaii.
