Arkansas U.S. Senate Candidate: ‘I Don’t Know Where the President Was Born’
By David Weigel 3/24/10 6:03 PM


One reason that Republicans are happy to have recruited Rep. John Boozman (R-Ark.) to run against Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) — the odds of a primary win by Republican Curtis Coleman have declined considerably. Coleman talks to the Tolbert Report blog:

Absolutely, the President must produce his birth certificate. I will find out what steps are available to require him to do so, and will take those steps aggressively and unrelentingly. I don’t know where the President was born, which is a matter of immense concern and Constitutional issue for all Americans. If he has nothing of consequence to hide, then there’s no acceptable reason not to have full disclosure.

The “I don’t know where the president was born” part prevents this one from being a case of a candidate just slipping up.

1. This is just the sort of thing that "eggs these Teabaggers on" and

now we are seeing violence.

If this person does not know about our President, how
equipped or prepared to be a Senator???

How much more ignorant???

2. He insists on being the LAST MAN ON EARTH to finally KNOW...how cute..idiot

3. I guess I better never run for President

because my BC look just like his; different state and a few decades earlier. There is nothing "nefarious" about it. My original was lost by the VA, along with both my parents', when my Dad applied for VA benefits back in the 1950s. The only thing that survived was our listing in the Birth Index Book. It only lists our names, date of birth, and state/city where we were born.

Over many decades, I have had a lot of problems with this. I was fortunate that I first got my passport decades before 9/ll and the increased security. When I applied for a new passport several years ago, I was told the only reason they gave me one was because I originally had one 30 years ago.

8. Don't worry, if you're white you're fine

That's all that matters to the GOP

5. Might as well admit he's a dumbshit. No freaking

intellectual curiosity:silly?

[Loki]

6. Fool.

[BlueIris]

7. Ew.

When will being a birther become a liability for them?

9. He's just playing to his racist ignorant base

Politicians are like that, you know.

What really makes me sad is that stuff like this actually works.
What makes me happy, though, is soon it won't work much longer.

10. I demand that Boozman...

produce his birth certificate to prove he wasn't born in Kenya.

11. It's really embarrassing to admit that he wants to represent my state.

As if enough people didn't already consider us backward and ignorant, here comes some fool who wants to reinforce that opinion.

Really, we aren't all like that.
