(Rep. Roy) Blunt among (Obama) birth certificate skeptics in online interview

[sabra]

Source: Springfield News-Leader

The repeatedly debunked belief that Obama isn't a natural born citizen has become mainstream -- thanks in part to elected officials like U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt wading into the controversy.

Blunt, R-Springfield, is being branded a "birther" after telling a blogger on video last week that he thinks conspiracy theorists raise "legitimate" questions about why Obama won't release his medical records or original birth certificate.

"What I don't know is why the president can't produce a birth certificate. I don't know anybody else who can't produce one. I think that's a legitimate question," Blunt told a blogger for the liberal blog FireDogLake.com

...

Blunt, for his part, stands by his previous statements, a spokesman said. But he declined further comment at an energy policy event Tuesday in Strafford.

"What I actually think is that you guys don't have any capacity to talk about that in a legitimate way, so I'm going to stop talking about it," Blunt told a reporter.

1. Next question: "Where's yours?"

[MO_Dem]

5. Yeah, maybe Blunt has a forged one?

IF he could produce one, could he PROVE that it was a LEGITIMATE one? I'VE NEVER SEEN HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE and I LIVE in Missouri!

:evilgrin:

Edited to add an evilgrin! :rofl:

[pattmarty]

6. I live in Mountain Home and I really feel sorry for you if this shitbag....

.....is your rep. How 'bout his kid? I guess like father, like son.

[windowpilot]

13. Thanks to diebold.

Missouri is a blue state in a black box.

[MO_Dem]

14. He's not my rep, but

many of his decisions effect my life anyway. But he oughta have to bring me a copy of his REAL birth certificate if I demand one, right? :rofl:

Those Blunts are both alike, and just like Ashcroft. Self righteous arrogant #&*%!*#s! Joann Emerson's my rep, which ain't much better. And of course, Pappy Blunt is hoping to be my senator, so maybe he should give me 2 copies of his REAL birth certificate (if he CAN PRODUCE one! :evilgrin: )



:hi: Neighbor! It's been years since I was in your "neck of the woods", but I'm sure it's still as beautiful as it was then.

15. I retired here 8 yrs ago from Chgo suburbs. Overall I like it, except for the politics.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. If he could actually produce one we'd all find out that he was actually born in

Douchistan.

[bulloney]

9. Blunt's certificate would show that his father is a town drunk and his mother is a farm animal.

[liberal N proud]

2. They are not going to let a little thing like the truth from stopping them

:crazy:

[WI_DEM]

3. Blunt sold his soul to the tobacco companies long ago

[stuball111]

4. Correct me if I am wrong...

But didn't he produce a birth certificate? Hell, it's all over TV and the internet... did Bluntbrain miss it? Don't they have computers and TV in Mizzorah! Does He doubt his own countries security system? Hell, if America is that ineffective in its security, then I could run for President and they wouldn't know I was born in Canada

[kestrel91316]

11. Silly, all we have seen on the internet is a PHOTOGRAPH of a

certified copy. Everybody knows that unless you produce your original "vault" copy, you haven't proved anything.

ROFLMAO.

[stuball111]

18. Ohhh! I see..

So they want the ORIGINAL Place IN their hands... well.. there's only about 5 million or so non-believers... gee, that would take a few years to pass that around...*sigh* :eyes: I guess my brand new birth certificate is no good then, according to the birfers... and my last one, the one I gave to the INS to get my permanent residency is no good either, and I am actually in the country illegally because it ain't the one they printed out when I was born.... wow! I'm in a heap of trouble according to birfer rules. I'm glad they don't run the INS!

[Soylent Brice]

7. i hope this becomes the career killer for many many GOPers.

how stupid can one person possibly be?????

[kestrel91316]

10. Time to demand that he produce his own ORIGINAL birth certificate.

No stinkin' "certified" copies accepted. We need to demand the "vault copy".

[caseymoz]

12. Blunt is just in on the disinformation campaign.

That's all this is. There's no way even Blunt believes what he is saying.

[99 Percent Sure]

16. It's all they've got and it's weak, but when it's all they've got, what else can they do?

Really, it's much ado about nothing but, hey, one does what one feels one must, even when one knows it is wrong. Make no mistake, the repugs know what they are doing is evil and wrong, but they've got can't help it disease borne of dark hearted wickedness.

I think we should investigate why the repugs are called the 'right,' while we are called the 'left,' since they ain't NEVER right about anything. Besides, 'right' makes up the word righteous, yet the only righteousness the repugs exhibit is righteous, irrational rage.

These are the things that make me go, "Hmmm."

[damntexdem]

17. Racists seem to feel they can be clearer and clearer about their racism.

It's time for the populace to strike back at racism.

[chat_noir]

19. Blunt is running to replace Kit Bond in the Senate in 2010

This is going to look great on his résumé.

:evilgrin:

[sfwriter]

20. Oh goody... He wants to be Senator.

What a pinhead.

I pounded him and a follower here:
