Several of the replies are slam dunk refutations of the erroneous assumptions that the birther boobs make.

Here are some of the good points:

- Obama has been a citizen since from birth. No one has proved anything to the contrary - no one.

- Not one secretary of state of the 50 states questioned Obama’s eligibility to be on the ballot - not one.

- Not one court cases against Obama has been given status for hearing in any court. The have all been denied standing at every level - every one of them.

- Every pledged elector voted for Obama and all thought the citizenship issue was silly - all of them.

- Not one objection was raised during the joint session of Congress when the electoral college votes were tallied on January 8 past - not one.

lot of you are going around asserting that “natural born citizen” is defined as someone born in the US to two US citizen. That’s a legal argument that hasn’t been supported by the courts and in fact is a minority opinion that isn’t shared by the majority of legal scholars.

But because you’ll run around reading the same blogs with the same worldview you think this is some hard and fast rule. It’s not. And if you doubt that this is a fringe opinion, consider that one of the leading proponents of this interpretation is Philip Berg, who also happens to believe that the World Trade Center was brought down by the Bush administration and has called for the disbarment of various SC justices (including Clarence Thomas) because they don’t buy his 9/11 theories. One of the other major proponents, Leo Donofrio, isn’t a practicing attorney anymore, works as a professional poker player. And he believes the McCain is also not eligible to be President.

In the meantime, there are tons of conservative legal scholars that dislike Obama and the Dems and would be jumping on this if there was anything real behind it. Why aren’t they? Because they know it’s a fringe theory with nothing behind it.

1. I still have no idea what that odd seqeunce of words means...

And I'm a bit disappointed to have clicked on a thread mentioning boobs, only to to find the rantings of crazypeople.

3. I may have been even further off than you...

I thought "birthers" was a derogatory reference to women, and all women have boobs, so, I thought, "what's all the fuss?".

Then I thought maybe "birthers" referred to right-to-lifers...still wrong.

Now I understand, I think, that these are people bickering over the birth certificate of Obama and his citizenship.

BUT, the boobs still would have thrown me off. :hi:

9. Yep, I thought the same damned thing.

2. Why aren't the boobs applying the same logic to John McCain, who was

born in Panama. It was the canal zone back then and considered an American territory, but his claim to being born on American soil actually is shaky. I wonder if we would apply the same standard to an American born on Puerto Rico? Could a Puerto Rican run for President? Obama's claim is solid because even if neither of his parents were citizens but legal residents, he still is considered an American born on US soil and eligible to run for the presidency. I never really thought that McCain was.

4. Some of them say McCain is not a natural born citizen either

That is easy to say post election, of course. Most of these types are very far right and did not like McCain. They wished Palin were at the top of the ticket. Some are religious nuts and some are Ron Paul supporters. They would be John Birch members if that organization were still in fashion. I think some are racists who are appalled that a black man will be president.

6. I thought this was about breast feeding

Are the Freepers who think Obama wasn't born in the US called "birthers" elsewhere?

8. Yep.....

It's a rip on the 9/11 "Truthers"

7. Well, we already knew how stupid those louts are...but I'm always up for making fun of em.
