Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget

"This is NOT the country I grew up in" is another racist screed being yelled by these teabaggin' terrorists.
It wasn't the answer they were hoping for, so they'll keep asking the question until someone says "Kenya".
I think Sean should put the rumors to rest about his own citizenship. To paraphrase Stephen Colbert, we're at war, pick a side!
Or Indonesia.
Or Britain.
Or an "arab" nation.
Or . . .
It is my understanding that many nations permit this for adults. The USofA just doesn't happen to be one of them. And anyone claiming dual citizenship automatically renounces their claim to be an American, great or otherwise...
And this "Great American" crap has really gotten out of hand. Now InSannity is telling callers "You sound like a Great American!" Just what in hell does a Great American sound like? Other than sucking up to the host, of course...
All I have to do is ask...
and, you know...
KEEP IGNORING THE PERFECTLY FLIPPIN' REASONABLE ANSWER THAT THEY KEEP GIVING ME OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!
Becuase... I can always just keep asking the same question.
I'm just asking. I'm concerned after all...
They were asked if they thought President Obama was an American Citizen and surprisingly 76% said "No" or "I don't know"
They were then followed up with a question on whether Hawaii was a state in the US and 12% said No or I don't know!
...awesome
The off the kook end conspiracy theory that President Obama was secretly not born in the United States and, therefore, is secretly not really president, might be a more complicated off the kook end conspiracy theory than we originally thought. A new North Carolina poll by Public Policy Polling finds that the percentage of North Carolina voters who say President Obama wasn't born in the U.S. or they're not sure if he was, is 46 percent -- 46 percent of North Carolina voters think Obama might be secretly foreign, and he, therefore, might not really be president.
Among Republicans in North Carolina-it's worse. The percentage of Republican voters in North Carolina who say Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. or they're not sure, 76 percent. More than three-quarters of North Carolina Republicans think Obama might not really be president-more than three-quarters, more than three-quarters, more than three-quarters of them.
But here's the additional detail that might make your raised eyebrows turn into a furrowed brow. This huge majority of North Carolina Republicans say that Obama either wasn't born in the U.S. or they're not sure, right? The president, of course, was born in Hawaii. Well, whoever the genius is who put this poll together-I salute you because I never would have thought to ask this as the follow-up question-by the way, do you believe that Hawaii is part of the United States? They asked that question. And fully 12 percent of North Carolina self-identified conservatives said no, Hawaii is not part of the United States. Or they just don't know whether it is.I mean, how could that ever be known?
Or did you apply by reason of your Grandfather's citizenship. If you did apply, why did you?
Just asking, Sean.
And they got their answer Sean. And they had (and still have) the opportunity to look for it online, and they refuse.
