What can be said about these morons.

I'm so tired of people assuming Bloggers are journalists...geez. Get your info from somewhere credible, what ever happened to journalism in the US?

Note: That's for all the agencies, MSNBC, FOX, CNN, etc. etc. It's all pretty bad!

You can tell when people have a weak argument or an opinion based on a false point in back and forths like that. They change topics, try to talk over disagreeing arguments (get louder, keep talking, repeat points), and exaggerate their points (most people agree, congressional reports say, nobody will send me the facts). He obviously has another reason to believe as he does, and has latched onto the birth record and weak evidence to create a more publicly acceptable argument. I know where I believe his argument is coming from, and if he were younger and lived long enough I'm guessing we'd see a pattern form.

Two more years of that radical marxist and done. That's all that matters now.


Nah try 6. Republicans have no one to challenge him and if anything the Tea Partiers are going to come up with their own candidate and just split the vote like hell.

It's not that it's a democracy...it's that Obama represents those in power right now.

Exactly.

I think it's a problem with religious thought...if everyone can believe and fear all sorts of magical stuff is the "truth" based on no evidence, they it's easy to get them to believe and fear all sorts of political stuff that's a hell of a lot closer to the truth.

why would The Coop waste his show's time on this lunatic?
don't give the voice to the fringe lunatics


Normally I'd agree whole heartedly, but in this rare case the fringe lunatic is an elected member of the Texas House of Representatives. This is the one exception where I believe the self-discrediting lunacy of someone needs to be as widely known as possible.

They didn't used to. The world we live in, at least the civilized part, is too soft to kill off stupid people. People aren't forced to get smart or die. Food, shelter and water are all readily available. Almost makes me want to say "too bad." >> ^oohlalasassoon:

Fact: Stupid people get old too.

Why did you have your sorry leftist heineys handed to you in November?

Why are Barry's approval ratings in the sh!tter?

ALL this failure to launch can't be a right-wing media illusion.

In the real world, liberal insanity has real consequences which you cannot ignore or cover up.

Two more years and he's gone.

I hear ya. Back then, when some dimwit like this said something idiotic, you could smile to yourself and take solace in the fact that sooner or later, he'd get himself eaten by a saber-tooth tiger or gored and/or stepped on by a woolly mammoth.

Ah, those were the days...

Obama might not have been the greatest president (I didn't vote for him) but it's simply hilarious, depressing, and downright disturbing the lengths our politicians (and other would be truth seekers) will go to spread LIES to get someone they dislike out of office. The ends DO NOT, absolutely DO NOT justify the means. I don't give a shit if Obama was a member of Ku Klux Klan, the Black Panthers, the Neo Nazis, the Nation of Islam, or, god forbid, an actual socialist -- scare tactics, lies, half-truths, and rumors are a slap in the face of the people you're attempting to convince. It only hurts your cause and furthers the causes you oppose.
