Previously:

Dobbs "still feel[s] the same exact way": Obama should produce "doggone birth certificate," "shut all the nonsense down"

Dobbs won't let Obama birth certificate go: "If you can't ask that question ... what kind of society do you want?"

Dobbs persists: "Where is that birth certificate? Why hasn't it been forthcoming?"

      I have an idea for Lou and all right wing crackpot talkers out there. Before anyonr can talk to you on the phone, that person needs to send a birth certificate to you. After all if the person can't vote in this country why the hell would you want them talking about U.S. politics.

      But when he produced a birth certificate it wasnt satisfactory...

      And Dobbs said this AFTER he became president. Thats ridiculous. You don't think Obama's own party wouldnt do the due dilligence of ensuring he verifies all the requirements in the constitution BEFORE even putting him up as the democratic candidate. They do this even before the primaries. Its absolutely insane to think this was just ignored by both the dem party as well as his opponents all the way up until after he won. Would hillary not have pointed this out when vying for the job? wOULD mccain not have brought this up? It would seem the competition was sooo stiff that this would not be something everyone just overlooked.

      But dobbs doesnt seem to realize this. How convenient of him.

      just wondering has anyone seen Bush's birth certificate?
      how about Clinton?
      Bush Sr.?
      Reagan?
      Carters?

      I havnt so all of them are illigitimate by Dobbs logic

      in fact the only president who's birth certificate i've ever seen is Obama

      and I know their are several presidents who's birth certificates we've never found (taylor, arthur, probibly a few other)

      But ots funny I never once heard Dobbs ask to see Bush's Birth Certificate or Clinton's or Bush sr, or Reagen or Carter's.

      And maybe its just me but I can only think of one difference between Obama and those other 5 guys....Obama is black


      But I will say this Dobbs is right he didnt go on about it for weeks....it was more like months :)

      Dobbs,

      I knew your days were numbered when your buddy, Roland Martin, put you in your place on your own show on this birther issue. The way you reacted. The look on your face. You looked like a tired old man who couldn't even remember what he was talking about. You looked pitiful.

      Dobbs is getting too old for this.

      He's basically saying 'I believe him but I still want the evidence.'

      Evidence isn't required when there aren't any accusations. Evidence is required when you don't believe somebody.
