Liddy turns to widely discredited Obama smearer Corsi for reassurance after Hardball birther segment

EMBED

FactCheck.org:  Born in the U.S.A.

The certificate has all the elements the State Department requires for proving citizenship to obtain a U.S. passport: "your full name, the full name of your parent(s), date and place of birth, sex, date the birth record was filed, and the seal or other certification of the official custodian of such records." The names, date and place of birth, and filing date are all evident on the scanned version, and you can see the seal above.

Previously:

Liddy falsely claimed there is a "sworn statement from the stepgrandmother" saying Obama was born in Kenya

      I guess Corsi demonstrates that you don't necessarily have to be smart to get a PHD... just persistent.

        Amen....My birth certificate does not list the hospital or doctor and I got a passport. I could not find it, did not want to order another one, so I tried to use that certificate that the hospital gives you, with It's name, all the info about the parents and baby. Time of birth, weight and foot prints. It has a lot more information on it than the State Certified Birth Certificate. It is also signed by the doctor and has a big gold foil seal on it. I nearly got laughed out of there. I had to order a certified copy of my birth certificate from the state and it does not have near as many details. Lists the state and county of my birth and each of my parents, date and not much more.
        I bet that both Bush's, have even less on their birth certificates than Obama's does.

      Corsi is a liar.

      I got my Passport with a Certificate of Live Birth issued by the State of Minnesota.

      And here is a real brain-teaser for the birthers: Just how in the hell do you think Obama got his US Passport - the one he used for international travel for years?

      These people are oxygen-starved.

        I was going to add that. That President Obama had a passport long before he ran for president. How did he get it? These are educated people acting like they do not have a brain in their head.

        The birthers already have an argument as to how Obama was able to travel without ever supposedly getting a US passport. They claim he used his Kenyan or Indonesian ones.

        Then they really twist their brains and say that because Obama was able to travel internationally without an American passport - which they believe is absolutely impossible for Obama to have, that proves Obama has Indonesian or Kenyan passport.

        They have an utterly stupid argument that explains everything - even if it nullifies other possibilities. All possibilities are true to these people - except the most likely one. Makes your head hurt, but it feels good to them apparently.

      Just cause I don't know, but has anyone asked whether or not Obama's mother ever left Hawaii during the time she was pregnant?

        Good question. I have never found any evidence that she ever traveled to Africa either. I believe if she had, the birthers would be making an issue of it and trying to manipulate it, to be around the time he was born. They have not. I also think if there was any truth to Obama not being born in the U.S. Clinton's would have made it front and center. I know the Clinton's are smart enough and had ways to get that info if it was there.

          Isn't there a single family friend who can remember visiting the family at the hospital? OTOH, they may not want to come forward and expose themselves to these crazy birfers.

          Forget the Clintons, if there was any evidence that Obama was not a U.S citizen he would not have even been able to run. The CIA, FBI, and secret service all run thorough backgrounds checks on all presidential candidates. I find it just hilarious that these backwoods conspiracy theorists believe they can uncover evidence that the FBI/CIA/secret service all could not.

          But this really isn't even about the facts behind Obama's birth certificate, this is about raising controversy over Obama, to try and convince the stupid and ignorant that he's somehow illegitimate.

          Which is working, obviously. Take Castle's town hall meeting for example, the people interrupted his meeting to say the Pledge of Allegiance because that one crazed woman told them to. Like sheep jumping off a cliff because the one near the front did.
