Why are you all feeding the trolls?

None of these people ACTUALLY beleive that Obama was born in Kenya or has dual citizenship or any of that. They are just right wingers crying sour grapes because McCain lost. That's all this is. They were probably sent over here by some right wing troll sight to stir up a hornets nest. They need to change their diapers and get over it. The most they can point to is some wingnut with an agenda who went to Kenya and interviewed his distant relatives and then refused to listen when they tried ot correct him after he deliberately misinterpreted what they said.

You can't run for office, ANY office, unless you can verify who you are. To imply that Obama somehow sneaked past everyone that he was born in Kenya is to say that the office in charge of registering for public office can't do it's job. Why do you think the republican party isn't challenging the outcome of the election? It's not a coincidence these "conspiracy theorists" won't answer that question.

And the sore losers parade continues!

Look, for the next four years at least this "issue" isn't going away but the fact that the SC said it was bullshit is at least enough to keep it from the headlines and that's enough. I said it before and I will say it again: THESE PEOPLE DON'T ACTUALLY THINK OBAMA WAS BORN IN KENYA OR ANYWHERE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, THEY ARE JUST SORE LOSERS WHO CAN'T ACCEPT THAT MCCAIN LOST. That's all this is about. They don't even beleive the shit their spouting themselves. You don't have to deflect any arguments they make (in fact, that's probably what their hoping you will do). When even WhirledNutzDaily won't touch this thing with a ten foot pole, that's when you know it's a dead end.

Well, um...

My brother once knew a guy who knew a guy whose cousin swore he saw FBI agents planting charges in the Twin Towers on September 10th. So until someone proves that that didn't happen, I'm going to believe that the government was behind 9/11.

I love how the sore losers...

can't explain away why THEIR OWN PARTY didn't challenge the outcome of the election. Why right wing sources like Michelle Malkin and that bastion of liberalism, World Net Daily, think they are a bunch of cranks (add Little Green Footballs to that list). Or why the SC threw the case out. In fact, they seem to go out of their way to avoid the issue. That's because they know what their peddling is bullshit. It's just some way to try and salvage something from the election. They make themselves feel better by trying to get the goat of the liberals one last time before Obama takes office.

Y'all remind me of that group of guys in the back of the high school library who would argue endlessly about whether or not an X-Wing would really survive re-entry

Everyone knows the X-Wing is made of an indestructable alloy that can survive ANY re-entry! I challenge anyone to present me with the technical manual that says it can't! I can't believe this is even an issue! What a bunch of Nerf-Herders!

I think the skeptics really do have something to say if we just take the time to listen.

And it's this:

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! MCCAIN LOST!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! KARL ROVE PROMISED US A PERMANENT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! WE'RE ENTITLED TO THE PRESIDENCY!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MY BOTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!"

The crybabies are multiplying!

Shoot down one sore loser, another takes his place. It's like the Persians from "300". I'm sure they intend to do this for the next four years but I guarantee the general public will be sick of hearing about it by the middle of the second.

Sure, he's a Mormon but look how excited Republicans got over a non-denominational governor of Nowheresville who was about as distant from "Low Taxes/Low Spending" as you can get.

Yeah, but she was a "real" christian! Which is more important then actual policy!

Is this going to turn into another sore loser thread?

Why are you all still fighting with these idiots? They just can't get over that they lost the election, that's it. They don't actually beleive what their peddling.

Everyone knows he was born on the planet Krypton!

When he was a baby, his father put him in a rocket and sent him to Earth just before the planet exploded. Once on Earth, he was found and raised by a Kansas farm couple who soon discovered that he developed powers and abilites far beyond those of mortal men under our yellow sun. The love and guidance of his kindly foster parents was to become an important factor in the shaping of the boy's future:

Jonathon Obama: "Now listen to me, Barrack, this great strength of yours, you've got to hide it from people or they'll be scared of you!

Martha Obama: "But when the proper time comes, you must use it to assist humanity!"

The passing away of his foster parents greatly grieved Barrack Obama, but it strengthened a determination that had been growing in his mind. Barrack decided he must turn his titanic strength into channels that would benefit humanity. And so was born:

President Barrack Obama! Champion of the oppressed, The physical marvel who had sworn to devote his existance to helping those in need!

Just let these nuts try and challenge his legitamacy! He'll fry their asses with his heat vision!
