      I've never even seen my own, but I still know where I was born!

      I could give him a link to it, but...

        Well, I've seen my birth certificate but I don't know if I can trust the government. Maybe it's a forgery. I have no memory of my birth... My parents were liberals so, you know, I can't trust what they told me, either. What's a person to do?

            I'm afraid to look up my birth certificate. Had to get my baptismal certificate when I got married, and found I was baptized by Fr. George Burns. Does that mean I'm just a joke?

              You think that's bad. My birth certificate mentions the city and state and all, but not the planet.

              Something as vague as that, I could be from any New York in the universe!

        Similar to how there's a gap in string of definitive proof that limpaugh is the subject in those old internet "GOATSE" pics, you cannot directly link the murder of abortion providers to the teabaggers. Let's not adopt the right-wing methods of smearing, here.

      I'm a firm believer in freedom of speech and certainly don't begrudge peoples right to make complete ass-clowns of themselves...

      But this birth certificate thing is getting out of hands and is becoming more unhinged every day these jerks bring it up.

      At what point (if at all? or how?) do we silence these morons? Especially as it pertains to out right lies that fuel the anger in the fringe that will at some point lead to an extreme case of violence... ?

        Ignorance knows no bounds. Conspiracy theorists are deranged pathetic subhuman slime that refuse to apply logic and never accept reality. It doesn't matter what proof has been used to debunk every single claim, they will ALWAYS continue to live in their sad, lonely, and desperate state of denial.

        There's really no point we can stop them. If Obama does nothing, ignores them and doesn't release a "long form birth certificate" (whatever that means, I've never gotten one in my life) the ignorant will continue to believe he's hiding something.

        However, if he does release this document now, the ignorant will just believe it's a forgery because it took so long to release.

        You can't win with conspiracy theorists, just looks at the moon landing and 9/11 fools. Debunked for years, they just ignore facts.

        All we can do is continue to debunk it for those with half a brain cell. The others, well, let's just hope they don't try to take matters into their own hands, which I fear is becoming increasingly possible these days.

      There are many points of law that the Birthers don't seem to be addressing. The truth of the matter is that the courts have never really made any definitive ruling as to what "natural born citizen" means - although the INS would accept having just one parent with citizenship for anyone born outside the US.

      Chester A. Arthur is said to have been born in Canada. Barry Goldwater was born in the Arizona Territory. George Romney was born in Mexico. It seems to me that enough precedent has been established by default - so it would be impossible for the Birthers to make a claim even if the evidence wasn't so overwhelmingly against them.

      Whenever I watch or listen to the Foxers, I become frustrated that there is never anyone sitting across from them with the brains or balls to throw a little logic their way. It is obvious they hired Colms because he can't stand up to anyone.

      Dobbs, on the other hand, is so arrogant that he is immune to logic.

      A little jealousy creeping in there from Hannitard. Can't imagine how someone he's so eager to belittle could actually graduate from law school. Was hoping for at least an admission of failing the bar, but didn't get it. That's going to leave an emotional scar...

      John Stewart pimpslapped these birther idiots into oblivion last night once and for all. All the noise the birthers make now is just left over seething and uncontrolled madness.

      Based on that last little chuckle, Mr. Hannity, my feeling is that you've reached a point of hyperbole where even -you- don't believe what you're saying.

      The Teabaggers are a joke precisely because they are hardworking middle class Americans who went out and protested that their taxes were being lowered. Yes, that's right. Lowered. And still they complain. Hardworking middle class Americans aren't a joke. Heck, I aspire to that myself one day, but anybody so foolishly led about by the nose -is- a joke, and will remain so.

      Hannity and the teabaggers represent a minority of foolish lost white souls that believe Rupport Murcoch cares about America.

      Murdoch is making a mint off the ignorance of some white folk and destroying America at the same time.

      It is sad to watch a white man take advantage of his own people to make millions and millions of dollars.

      Murdoch could care less if he destroys America with his hateful message of white supremecy 24 hours a day on Fox since he comes from Australia.

      His entire mission is to destroy America by flaming racial tensions on a daily basis.

      I wonder why Americans who care about their country is allowing an outsider to get away with this.

      The media help drive this foolishness by entertaining these idiots; and they do so believing it will have a negative impact on the President.
      Anybody with common sense knows that when something has been proven, there is no need to revisit it, yet the media does just that. These kinds of pachydermatous people should be ignored.
      What the media needs to do is expose these people for what they really are, RACIST, because this is the reality of the situation. These people who do not accept the truth are guided by hate and ignorance. That is what should be reported. Anything else is an insult to humanity.

      I've never seen Obama's birth certificate so by Hannity's logic I must say that Obama isnt an American citizen.

      But I've never seen Hannity's birth certificate either so by Hannity's logic I must say that Hannity isnt an American citizen.

      Wait thats it, Hannity isnt an American citizen, he's actually a Russian Agent that was sent here to destablize the American politcal system. Thats why his last name is so uncommon he made it up as part of his cover.

      Until Sean Hannity puts the original copy of his Long Form Birth Certificate in my hand, and sets up an interview for me with the Doctor that delivered him I wont ever be convinced He wasnt born in Russia and sent here to pray on stupid american's in an attempt to corrupt our news and politcal system.

      Ball's in your court Sean
