New Republic: Why Anti-Obama Hate Will Be Different Than Anti-Clinton Hate

[kiwi_chick]

Wombat, you''re a sucker for BS. Do some factchecking. Do any of you know what is contained and not contained in the US Constitution? Or are you all too happy just injecting whatever BS you want that fits your idea of how you want things to be? Read it, then argue something truthful.

[kiwi_chick]

Bullchit. You have to be BORN in the US. Get your chit straight. Go and read the Constitution. Idiots.

It takes the Dan Rather Flagship Network to come up with a uninformed biased article as this. How about
the Dan Rather&60 Minutes National Guard documents
that CBS provided the American Voter the week before
the 2004 presidential election. Has CBS and Dan Rather
ever got a court ruling on that debacle?
The facts of this matter are there are two cases in
the SCOTUS and one candidate''s case in California who
does not lack standing. Obama could end this immediately by providing a copy of the Certificate
of Live Birth (long form) into a court of law. Obama
has chosen not to, have one of you asked him why?
McCain is also facing the exact same allegation from
NJ and presently in SCOTUS.
You had better find some objectivity quickly as these
cases are scheduled in the next several days and any
of these cases sticks you will lack any creditability.

Obama''s father was not a US citizen, only his mother... A "natural born citizen " as defined by the constitution consists of having a father and mother who both are US citizens at the time of birth AND being born on US soil. Also you can not have dual citizenship at birth. because of split loyalties..
Obama should have know this... In fact he does know but I think he thinks he can change the rules (the constitution of the US)

[drjim6]

Even if Obama was born in Hawaii, he is NOT a natural born citizen of the United States as per the constitution. His father was born in Kenya. To be a natural born citizen per presidential requirements, both parents must be US citizens....

wombat: Insults and attacks are pretty much all Obama supporters have regarding this issue. Not one of them can give one good reason why Obama is fighting so hard to prevent the disclosure of his complete birth certificate. Hence, the insults and attacks.

Kiwi-Chick-"In a November 2004 interview with the Rainbow Newsletter, Maya told reporters her half-brother Sen. Barack Obama was born on Aug. 4, 1961, at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu; then in February 2008, Maya told reporters for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin that Obama was at the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children.", story written by Jerome R. Corsi. That is where I got my info. Where do you get your information from Ibelieveineverything.com? Stop stero-typing everyone that questions this issue as a republican. It is ugly and it shows you would rather insult the message instead of seeing that their might be something to this. Again, it is easier to produce the 1961 type-written document than paying for all these lawyers.

There will always be nutjobs, some still think the pyramids were built by Martians, after all, how could a bunch of "Egyptians" build them. The lunatic fringe will always be with us, it''s only when mainstream starts swallowing their swill do you need worry.

[hinnis]

I wondered how long it would take for the mainstream media to realize that this story has legs. Now that they have, they will do just as CBS is doing; try and make it look like anyone who is interested in Obama''s constitutional eligibility to occupy the Presidency is a "loon." Well, CBS, why don''t you break mold, and start doing some real reporting on this issue. And for those Obama supporters out there, give me one good reason why Obama would rather spend tens of thousands of dollars fighting multiple lawsuits, some all the way to the Supreme Court, when all he would have to do to stop all of this speculation is to submit a certified copy of his complete birth certificate to the court. One good reason why he is fighting so hard to deprive the American public of this information; that''s all I ask.

[kiwi_chick]

Wombat, your paranoid schizophrenia is showing. Do some factchecking yourself. Factcheck.org. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. Starting mindless drivel rumors won''t change that. You attribute different birthplaces attested to by Obama''s sister and grandmother. Not true. Where''d you find that information..."justmyimagination.com?" The republicans who consistently blog here about how hard done by they are, how the country is going to be destroyed by a liberal, socialist, Muslim terrorist loving black man have had your 8 years. You''ve just about destroyed the country. Time for some common sense pols to put it back together. As you''ve told us libs many times...if you don''t like it, head for the door...and close it after you please. We don''t want the stink hanging around.

[ausus-2009]

After conspiracy theorists heaping it on GWB for eight years, I can say to Obama welcome to the kitchen.

We are the real Americans. You''re the fringe looney evangelistic right. Watch yourself. It''s more interesting.

When will CBS do a story about Obama real birth certificate? Factcheck says they held the original birth ceritifcate but post a "Certification of Live Birth" which is not the same as a birth certificate and can be issued to people born in foreign countries. Plus the original is a 1961 type-written document and what is on factcheck is not that. His sister states two different hospotal where he was born and his grandmother states she was present in Kenya for his birth. Instead of producing a copy of the 1961 type-written birth certificate, Obama spends thousands of dollars on lawyers to fight all these lawsuits. Two of them in the Supreme Court (with maybe a third if the guy refiles). Obama needs to produce the 1961 birth certificate showing where he was born. Until he does alot of people will keep this rumor alive and probably challange every decision he makes in court. A copy of the document only cost $12, I am sure the lawyers are more.

Had Michael Schaffer bothered to look closely at the citizenship issue, he would have discovered that it''s a real issue. But like so many of his prejudiced ilk, he''s smug in his ignorance.

[drjim6]

The natural born citiizen issue is a real and should be looked at by SCOTUS....
What is going on with the media? First no coverage...
Now coverage that obscucate the truth...
A real story is developing... Do some research
Media is going to left with their pants down regarding Obamagate...

[Yvonnek]

danjonglee''s absolute nutcake ideas that Bush was powerful enough to cause Katrina and all the other bizarre drivel from the left goes unnoted by the media now and for the past 8 years.
It would seems reasonable to say there are crazies on both sides and danjonglee is a group leader on his side.

[zevonfan1]

"For eight years, opposition politics have mainly involved attacking the president for, like, things he''s done or wanted to do in office----and not, say, secret religious view he holds or convoluted murders involving his wife."

I guess the writer forgot about all those stories involving Laura Bush "murdering" her high school sweetheart. And GW Bush being a coke addict. Or all the stories about GW not fulfilling his military obligations. Or the rumors that Bush was just the front for Cheney to rule the country. Or that the WOT was just a way for Bush and Cheney to make money for their friends in "Big Oil''. Or speaking of the WOT, how about all the so called "Truthers" who believe that Bush was behind 9/11.

Michael Schaffer has zero credibility since he fails to mention the extent or intensity of all all the paranoia from the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. Let me start another VRWC...Michael Schaffer voted for Obama.

[danjonglee]

Bush is behind the hate Obama movement. Bush and Cheney need to be tried for war crimes. Bush should be jail for letting Hurricane Katrina happen. Bush should be in jail for letting bridges collaspe. The right causes all the problems in this country...
