FILE UNDER: GOP - Party of Race-Baiting Fringe Wackos and Loons


Mitt Romney's invocation of birtherism on Friday took his
campaign to a new level of involvement with the bogus idea
that President Obama is actually Kenyan-born and therefore
ineligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

But that dog-whistle theory has already been embraced by many
major Republicans with whom Romney has long been happy to consort.

Indeed, as Republicans head down to Tampa for their
convention this week, they are preparing to see a veritable
festival of politicians who have dabbled in — or fully embraced
— birtherism.

Here are the members of the birther bunch who will be speaking in
Tampa:

1. Donald Trump. The famed billionaire/birther king Donald Trump
has been the most vociferous — and most closely connected to Romney
— person alleging that the President wasn’t born in the United
States.

2. Actress Janine Turner. The Northern Exposure star who has her
own conservative radio show wrote a long screed titled "Reasoning
'Kenyan Born.'" In it, she complains that anyone who questions the
president's citizenship is deemed a racist: "If this were a legal
case in court, [Obama's] book bio stating that Obama was 'born in
Kenya' would be taken into consideration."

3. Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens. During a town hall captured
on video (at 3:5), Olens said, "You know the state of Hawaii says
he's produced a certified birth certificate… so on one hand I have
to trust the state of Hawaii follows the laws. On the other hand it
would be nice for the President to say, here it is, I have a copy."

4. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. On one radio appearance
during Huckabee's bid for president, the former governor said, "I
would love to know more [about where Obama was born]. What I know
is troubling enough." He later walked back the statement.

5. Florida Gov. Rick Scott. In 2010, the Orlando Sentinel reported
than an audience member at one of Scott’s campaign events asked
"what he would do about President Obama's 'birth certificate' and
whether he could legally appear on the 2012 ballot in Florida."
Scott responded, "I'll have to look into it."

6. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA). The Vice-Chairman of the
House Republican Conference once told reporters "Oh, I'd like to
see the documents."

7. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Jindal was willing to sign a
"birther" bill into law. It would have required all presidential
candidates to release their birth certificate in order to qualify
for a spot on the state's ballot.

"2016: Obama's America" was so poorly researched that
the filmmaker got that fact wrong. Good to know.

He was born in Africa, educated in Indonesia as a Muslim. His mother was
American born, he therefore had the right to pick his citizenship by age 18.
US law backs this up. He obviously chose the USA.
He has no more right to the presidency than any foreigner who has become a
citizen. The Democrats pulled a fast one on the American public and then
covered it up.
All will come out in the wash after he is gone. Presently rated as worse
than Jimmy Carter, if re-elected he will drive the USA into another
"DEPRESSION" not just a recession.

€€€ Does not a U.S. citizen who gives birth on foreign soil automatically
confer U.S. citizenship on her baby?

Since he is NOT a foreigner, the point is moot, bigot.

You spelt Hawaii wrong ;-)

What a complete and total fictional biography. I can't bear to even
quote such a tissue of lies.


I can't stand the guy, but I'm not going to lie about him. Deal with
the facts, not a smear campaign based on lies.

And time traveled back so they could insert birth announcements in two
local Hawiian newspapers.
