Newest Rightwing Loon To Join The Birther Brigade?
Edited on Mon Mar-23-09 09:20 AM by WeDidIt
Apparently, G. Gordon Liddy is jumping on the Birther bandwagon and will be having Orly Taitz on his show today.

Developing...

Edited to add: OMFG, the loon is taking this shit absolutely seriously! G. Gordon Liddy is officially a BIRTHER!!!

3. I'm listening now so you don't have to.
This is the first rightwing talker with a show that actually airs on radio waves (as opposed to internet only streaming) to bring this idiot on to talk about the conspiracy theories.

4. This sh*t is so awesome
Nuttier and nuttier. I love it. Remember how insane they all got over Clinton, with the Vince Foster murder stuff? It just underscores how far gone these idiots really are. I hope it keeps getting loonier by the day. THe loonier they get, the more people will laugh and roll their eyes.

because of drugs or something like that.

8. Yep
Yeah, and remember how unpopular Clinton was after all that? It really helped eat away at his approval ratings and ... oh wait.

Seriously, I expect the same for Prez Obama, at least for a while. The more these loonies froth at the mouth, and the more the media blowhards get all worked up over stupid crap, the more the sane and rational types will coalesce behind Obama. THat's my theory, anyway, and I"m sticking to it!

7. OMFG, Orly Taitz is now on the Leo Donofrio Bandwagon
Claiming that even if Obama was born in Hawaii, he still isn't a natural born citizen because both partents weren't citizens.

And G. Gordon Liddy has joined in the lying by claiming that Obama's Certification of Live Birth is not enough for a passport (it is enoguh for ANYTHING).

11. No, the claim is there is a third class of citizenship
Edited on Mon Mar-23-09 09:17 AM by WeDidIt
not two. NAturalized (immigrate and then become a citizen), native born (born here or born abroad to an American citizen), and natural born (born here to two American citizens).

Liddy is completely on board with this shit, too.

14. They've totally gone off the bend, because Chester A. Arthur's father was an Irishman
Edited on Mon Mar-23-09 09:23 AM by WeDidIt
and was not a US citizen when Arthur was born.

So history refutes their nonsense.

So what did they do?

They rewrote history claiming that Arthur prepetrated a fraud.

15. My understanding is that if you have one parent born here you are
a citizen.

17. If you have one parent who is naturalized (not even native born)
Edited on Mon Mar-23-09 09:27 AM by WeDidIt
and you are born abroad, you are still a natural born citizen.

27. Even if both of your parents are illegal immigrants, as long as YOU'RE born here, you're a citizen..
remember all the RWers complaining about illegal immigrants coming here and then having kids who get the rights of other U.S. citizens? They call them "anchor babies."

These assholes are hard core Republicans, which means Jindal will never get out of the primaries.

33. Well...
don't forget-their standards for Dems. aren't the same standards they have for their own. Just like they went on and on about Obama being a "celebrity," but as soon as Palin came along, getting "huge" crowds (compared to McCain), it was ok to be a celebrity. And as soon as the Dems. have the first Black president, THEY go ahead and nominate Steele to the RNC. I wouldn't put it past them to try to get Jindal in there in '12.

35. They're trying to have it both ways.
They want to complain about "anchor babies" -- kids of illegal immigrants born within the U.S. borders are natural-born citizens, and at the same time claim that you're only a citizen if your parents are, regardless of where you were born! :crazy:

36. Exactly, which is why ALL anyone would have to do is dig up some
video or transcript of one of these birthers saying that about "anchor babies" (and since they all have the same opinion, they're bound to have said something about it at one time while campaigning or when on a cable news show or RW radio show).

10. SNL
Man, I hope they cast someone on Saturday NIght Live to mock this woman soon. That would be fantastic. Every week on Weekend Update they could have her get more and more rabid with her lunatic assertions. Until she falls over frothing at the mouth, like Chris Farley used to do. Ha!

28. Wait a second
Just for argument's sake, let's say that Obama's mother was not an American citizen at the time of his birth - doesn't the mere fact that he was born in the United States grant him citizenship? If I recall correctly, these same "concerned people" also want to prevent foreign nationals from coming to the US and giving birth because that child, born here, creates an attachment to the US since he or she is, simply by virtue of being born in the US, a natural US citizen. Why are they trying to say that in a similar circumstance, being born in the US does not convey natural born American citizenship. It is difficult to think of words that are acceptable in polite society to describe these birthers, although "scum sucking, bottom feeding, pus filled, parasite ridden maw worms" does come close.

This is the sickest shit I've ever heard in my life.

They're promoting the idea that the military should remove Obama from office.

Dr. Orly has been pushing the idea of a military coup for sometime. Even mentioning it on an Israeli radio show.

He's always been an idiot, at least unofficially.

30. G Gordon Liddy is a felon I believe
So if my family had a fire and all of our birth certificates burned and we got new ones we are no longer citizens? People lose shit all the time. President Obama has proved to be a citizen. My brother is one of these nuts. They didn't care about George AWOL Bush. Which by the way if Obama had that on his record we would never have heard of Obama. And if Obama was a felon you could be damn sure he wouldn't have a radio show either.

37. It's interesting who the Repugs pick as their heroes isn't it?
O'Reilly is a sexual harraser. Rush is a drug addict. and Liddy is a felon. And yet somehow they have managed to bill themselves as the family values party. What family exactly would that be?
