From the July 29th edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

End of argument, unless you want to (1) fan the flames (2) blame the *left* (as these two clowns do), for fanning the flames.
First, these morons said what Obama posted was doctored in photoshop. That was debunked by no less than World Net Daily. Then they said you can obtain a Hawaiin "birth certificate" if your parents were residents but you happened to be born elsewhere. True...but that's not what Obama's birth certificate is. It says he was born in Hawaii, just as the original on file says...and which has twice been confirmed by the State of Hawaii.
What is freakin' wrong with these people. Can hatred make people that stupid? Apparently so.
His Kenyan grandmother and others(including the Kenyan Ambassador to the US) stated on tape that they knew BHO was born in Kenya and Grannie says she was present at the birth. No witness, nurse, doctor, or any hospital personnel in Hawaii have come forward to verify he was born there. Where's the long form Certificate of Birth? Hawaiian law in 1961 allowed people to register live births in Hawaii even if the kids were not born there. There was no computer-generated short form then.
Native born Hawaiians need a long form certificate to get any land or other priveleges reserved for the indigenous population - the short form isn't accepted. What does that tell you about the short form?
We've all got a lot invested in this guy. We deserve some answers whether we like them or not.
Some Democratic Senators(Leahy)questioned John McCain's eligibility to be PreZ because he was born in Panama to US parents who were serving there in the US military. They vetted him - he passed. Why didn't BHO get the same courtesy?
If BHO is the real deal - all he has to do is open the birth and school records. But then he would have wasted $ 1,ooo,ooo in campaign funds you contributed.
You don't have to be a deep thinker or Harvard grad to wonder what the hell's going on.
Since when can someone under the age of sixteen make a legally binding declaration of any kind?
Please don't be offended and please continue to participate in the debate. With luck, this can be continued until the only ones willing to admit to being Republicans are Sarah Palin and Orly Taitz.
I can't believe I read that myself. That's even dumber than the same rule applying to children born out of the country. What possible difference can the age of the mother make?
Liar. "On Oct. 16, an Anabaptist minister named Ron McRae called Sarah Hussein Obama, the president-elect's 86-year-old paternal step-grandmother, at her home in Kenya. Two translators were on the line when McRae asked if the elder Obama was "present" when the president-elect was born. One of the translators says "yes." McRae contacted Berg and gave him a partial transcript of the call with a signed affidavit. He opted not to include the rest of the call, in which he asks the question more directly -- "Was he born in Mombassa?" -- and the translators, finally understanding him, tell him repeatedly that the president-elect was born in Hawaii."
Furthermore as evidenced from a topic here at MMFA:
"But as The Economist points out, McRae also released the full audio, in which the key parts of the conversation can be heard. Here's part of it. (The other person speaking is translator Vitalis Akech Ogombe.)"
MCRAE: When I come in December. I would like to come by the place, the hospital, where he was born. Could you tell me where he was born? Was he born in Mombasa?
OGOMBE: No, Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America.
MCRAE: Whereabouts was he born? I thought he was born in Kenya.
OGOMBE: No, he was born in America, not in Mombasa.
MCRAE: Do you know where he was born? I thought he was born in Kenya. I was going to go by and see where he was born.
OGOMBE: Hawaii. Hawaii. Sir, she says he was born in Hawaii. In the state of Hawaii, where his father was also learning, there. The state of Hawaii.

Uh, no, he gets his NATURAL BORN citizenship from being BORN IN HAWAII. Hawaii, in case you have forgotten, is our 50th state. Cheesh!
Actually, no. That law did not take effect until some 20 years AFTER Obama was born. You really need to walk away from the birther sites.
Martin says Monday's admission by Hawai'i health officials that the state still maintains secret files on Obama makes asses out of Bill O'Reilly, CNN "researchers" and the CNN news managers that tried to intimidate Lou Dobbs. Hawai'i officials admitted (confessed?) on July 27th they still maintain secret files on Obama that have not been opened to the public. Martin has a pending lawsuit seeking public access to these historical archives in Hawai'i State custody. Martin says the latest disclosure by Hawai'i that the secret files still exist is going to explode the controversy and corrode support for Obama's presidency. Since filing his lawsuit in 2008, Martin has become a candidate for U. S. Senator in Illinois in 2010.
And Bernie, we are right to raise the question, "Why are you and Dobbs such idiots?"
I'm sorry, Goldberg has just emailed me a request that I stop calling him Shirley.
And HillBilly... pointing at the folks in the White House and calling them arrogant---un-freakin'-real. My guess is that when it comes to you they're more dismissive than arrogant. To see real arrogance, just watch yourself.
And the answer to the question that this is all about: President Obama cannot release the so called long form vault copy Birth Certificate. That is not within his capabilities. So, he has released the next best thing, the COLB.
This issue has been settled again and again and again. And you know what, Bernie. This is bad for the conservatives. Because as long as some segment of the high profile GOP/Conservatives do not explicitly denounce this idiocy, it will hurt them. And the White House will let that happen. As they should.
Why hasn't Obama released his fingerprints?
Why hasn't Obama released his MasterCard number?
The first Social Security number was issued in 1936. 73 years ago. That would mean that the 190 year guy who was originally issued that number would have been at least 117 years old when he received that number sometime after November, 1936, when the first number was issued.
Dear Mr. Dobbs:
I just wanted to say that I agree with you. I'm not a birther because that's just silly, but all President Obama has to do to end this controversy once and for all is admit that he was born in Kenya and that he isn't eligible to be President, and step down in disgrace as the evil usurper he is. That's all he has to do, and the controversy will be over. But he won't do it, and that proves it. Only someone who was born in Kenya would hide his Kenyan birth certificate, and only an evil usurper would pretend that he isn't evil. You never saw George W. Bush or Dick Cheney go around pretending they weren't evil. If Obama wasn't evil, he wouldn't go around pretending he isn't evil, and if he wasn't born in Kenya, he wouldn't go around pretending he wasn't born in Kenya.
Thank you.
Goldberg and Dobbs are protecting their image through this demand for evidence that is already out there. Obama IS an American, and when that get proven, Dobbs and Goldberg will chuckle to themselves and say, "See? I told you he was an American."
Let's take a hypothetical here and say that a Pandora's box was opened where there was a case where the President was not an American. Dobbs and Goldberg would then chuckle to themselves and say, "See? Our suspicions were correct, and we deserve a Pulitzer for our coverage!"
Either way, Dobbs is trying to revive his career by pandering to both sides of the coin. There's a difference between being "unbiased" and being "bigoted".
