Baltimore Orioles Luke Scott is a birther.

Here is the email I sent the Baltimore Orioles with pertinent links:

I am writing in regard to an interview one of your players gave.

(the birther crap starts at 3:49)

Mr. Scott is what is called a "birther." He claims the president refuses to show his birth certificate.

That is a flat-out lie and has been debunked by Snopes.

The so-called birthers are racists in birther clothing. They cannot accept that America has elected our first black president and so they persist in this line of race-baiting horseshit.

Sincerely,
A. Kitten

Their response:

Dear Ms. Kitten,

Thank you for contacting the Orioles. We appreciate your feedback.

The Baltimore Orioles organization has issued the following statement regarding Luke Scott’s recent interview: “Luke Scott’s comments do not reflect the opinion of the Baltimore Orioles organization. The fact is that Barack Obama is our President, duly elected by the people of the United States. End of story.”

To be perfectly clear, Mr. Scott does not speak for the ownership or management of the Orioles, and we reject the implication that the President of the United States is somehow not a natural born citizen.

Sincerely,
Carey Paytas
Communications Assistant
Baltimore Orioles

6. As Keith O said ...

... I haven't seen the results of his drug test. How do we know he's not a 'roid head.
