1. Obama was born in Hawaii, McCain in Panama

Don't go there National Review

[Vickers]

2. Ha!

I'll be glad to share that little tidbit with my repuke colleagues.

Yup, ol' John SIDNEY McCain was born in another country.

5. In fact, McCain was born at Coco Solo sub base in the Canal Zone

which at the time was US territory.

[Vickers]

6. I understand the difference (I've been stationed overseas a LOT).

But if some stupid motherfucker is going to question Obama's citizenship, I will surely counter with this.

:thumbsup:

8. A good way to deal with the stupids.

But not all the motherfuckers are stupid. It's best to have the facts ready; just in case you run into that rara avis - a smart rightwing nut.

[Canuckistanian]

10. That's like saying he was born in Guantanamo

It's "US Territory", too. Yet US laws don't apply there.

[Wizard777]

14. There is also a law that specifically deals with births in Panama.

It Conveys Mc Cain citizenship. But not natural born status. If he wins this will go to SCOTUS.

3. Glad someone was right on this, I was going to post the same. Thanks! nt

4. I think Rachel Maddow

has the right tactic on this stuff. Mock them.

Mock them often. The idiocy they put out may need to be addressed but it doesn't need to be addressed with any respect. It's dumb shit and should be handled as such.

[mulsh]

7. yep, Rachel's correct. They're just ramping up the idiocy

we need to push back harder than ever.

9. Hawaii statehood: Aug. 21st, 1959. Obama birthday: Aug. 4th, 1961

Jus soli, freeper assholes. Eat it up and swallow it.

13. Very interesting link!

[ColbertWatcher]

11. Again, I have to apologize...

...on behalf of all the editors of the Truthiness Encyclopedia.

We try to make jokes about everything by writing satire.

We just didn't think anything we posted would be taken seriously.

Obviously, the GOP mistook the Truthy wiki page about Obama for Wikip*dia's page about Obama and are repeating all the factiness without verifying any of it.

I am sorry if this has caused anyone any problems.

12. You would think that the moran who wrote this gem

would at least do a little checking before writing such an ignorant piece. It would have taken him all if 15 seconds to determine that in order to be elected to the senate, a person would have had to have been aa U.S. citizen for at least nine years.

So, it really doesn't matter (at least to anyone in possession of rational thought process) where Obama was born, does it?

Oh, and per Rachel Maddow's suggestion: :rofl: :eyes: :rofl: :eyes: :rofl: :eyes: :rofl: :eyes: :rofl:

15. Read his books morans! nt
