Holy false equivalents Batman!

I love it that Ken Bennett, the idiot Secretary of State said that he would not look into getting information on Romney's birth certificate (even with all those requesting it) because ... wait for it:

Romney's release is sufficient, Bennett said, unless he hears otherwise from local law enforcement.

"I don't think the skeptics for either side are going to be appeased no matter what I do," Bennett said. "If a law-enforcement agency released findings suggesting there was questions about the validity of the Romney certificate, it would make it the same situation (as with Obama), and I'd have to deal with it at that time."

That's right. If Sheriff Joke doesn't care, he doesn't care.

Really. That's it:

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett has not made inquiries into presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's birthplace, despite numerous requests from the public.

Bennett this week said he will only inquire into Romney's birthplace if an Arizona law-enforcement agency releases findings that doubt the authenticity of Romney's birth certificate. Bennett said he only looked into President Barack Obama's birthplace after Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio questioned it.

As for this idiot.

Korwin -- who claims to be a former board member for Arizona's chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists -- says the investigations like that of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Cold Case Posse "is not a conspiracy theory, it is research."

Nicely played Subby. +1

Psuedo-conservatives: whiny pussies.

I prefer the less inflammatory term: "pro-racial intolerance, developmentally delayed Southerner with advanced paranoia abilities".

PUDDSAPA for short.

Fine. We'll call you a Derpther.

what are you supposed to burn in effigy on birthers' lawns? because i've been mostly just sticking to bags of my dog's sh*t.

I_Am_Weasel: Fine. We'll call you a Derpther.

Derpican American.

Oh for farks sake, are ALL Republicans whiny shiatstains?

As John Mulaney said, if you're comparing the offensiveness of two words, and you're not even using one of the words, that's the worse word.

LordJiro: Oh for farks sake, are ALL Republicans whiny shiatstains?


It's not just that they're racist scumbags, they're whiny racist scumbags with a persecution complex.

I want Obama to win the election, and for the Democrats to retake control of both houses of Congress, just because the Republican Party in its current state does not deserve to hold any sort of political power.

LordJiro: Oh for farks sake, are ALL Republicans whiny shiatstains?

Rhetorical question?

I'm working on a TL;DR open letter to this moran, where the first letter in each paragraph will spell out "shut the fark up, racist" or some variant (minus the wordfilter, of course). Anyone got requests for what it should REALLY be??

So birthers are born that way?

I_Am_Weasel: Fine. We'll call you a Derpther.

I think "Big Dummy" will suffice.

This is like the Godwin's Law of self-victimization. If a non-black person is associating himself with the plight of black oppression, any chance of rational discourse has officially gone out of the window.

Nimrod? Numbskull? Nincompoop? Nitwit?

Lenny_da_Hog: I_Am_Weasel: Fine. We'll call you a Derpther.

Fred G. Sanford. The "G" stands for "Go to Hell."

Oddly enough, it's a word applied to those who don't like "n words".

"'Birther,' used by the media with impunity, is a derogatory slur, the equivalent of the 'N' word used for another group to cast them as sub-human," Korwin writes. "You apply this new 'N' word to a huge group of politically-active Americans who've raised legitimate questions on a legitimate topic."

Sure it's legitimate, jackass.

So, back to "retards", then?

At first I thought this guy was an idiot, but then I ran across this WND headline:

Barack Obama's a 'birther'!

I Like Bread: This is like the Godwin's Law of self-victimization. If a non-black person is associating himself with the plight of black oppression, any chance of rational discourse has officially gone out of the window.

While I'm not technically a birthplace-skeptic-American I do sometimes playfully use the word (only in private with my other non-birthplace-skeptic friends) but certainly not with the hateful and harsh sounding -er ending. Just append an -a sound onto the word and you veer safely out of bigot territory. "Dude is a straight birtha, yo!! Where all my birthas at?!"

And we're done.

Don't Troll Me Bro!: "'Birther,' used by the media with impunity, is a derogatory slur, the equivalent of the 'N' word used for another group to cast them as sub-human," Korwin writes. "You apply this new 'N' word to a huge group of politically-active Americans who've raised legitimate questions on a legitimate topic."

Sure it's legitimate, jackass.

It may, MAY have been sorta legitimate before the COLB was released. But when that was released, and when the newspaper clippings surfaced, there was no room for reasonable doubt.

The only people clinging to this bullshiat conspiracy theory are racists who cannot accept that a black man with a "foreign" name is a Real American, and the President of the United States.

God I hate this mealy mouthed "legitimate concerns" and "legitimate questions" nonsense when they really mean to say "he's black!!!! He is a non anglo saxon name!!! Oh lordy lordy the colored folk are being uppity!!!"

The questions we need to ask are:

1. Do they have some hats now?
2. Are they well-rested enough to bust a cap in anyone's ass?

Subby is a magnificent bastard.

They just want to not be correlated with the "truthers" when they're in fact both blind, stupid and think they are crusaders for their country.

/Obama was born in a remote-control plane

I love black people, but I hate birthers.

"You apply this new 'N' word to a huge group of politically-active Americans who've raised legitimate questions on a legitimate topic."

Even the nuts at WND disproved this crazy theory:


A prominent Pennsylvania Democrat has sued Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Obama is not a natural-born citizen and, therefore, is not eligible to be president of the United States.

However, a WND investigation has found that at least part of Berg's lawsuit relies on discredited claims.

In short, the suit claims Obama was not born an American citizen; lost any hypothetical American citizenship he had as a child (Editor's note: This point is not supported by U.S. citizenship law); may not now be an American citizen and even if he is, may hold dual citizenships with other countries.
However, FactChecker.org says it obtained Obama's actual birth certificate and that the document was indeed real. The site discredited some of the claims of Internet bloggers, such as that the certificate as viewed in a scanned copy released by Obama's campaign lacked a raised seal. FactChecker.org also established that many of the alleged flaws in the document noted by bloggers were caused by the scanning of the document.

A separate WND investigation into Obama's birth certificate utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic. The investigation also revealed methods used by some of the bloggers to determine the document was fake involved forgeries, in that a few bloggers added text and images to the certificate scan that weren't originally there.

That's gotta be the first time in history someone forged a document to make it look less authentic.

Oh come on, you know he has a time machine, do you think he would do something as stupid and not plant stories to make WND look bad?

So, is there a way to indicate Successful and Attractive Derpican Americans with out being run down by a fleet of hover rounds?
Say using the term "Birtha" (birth-ah) versus "Birther" (birth-er)?

I watched that press conference, it was hilarious. one of the damning pieces of evidence is they discovered the file was "inside a computer" 20 minutes before being uploaded to the website.

Look, even ardent racists have some black friends, but I don't know ANYONE who would say they hate birthers but they have a good friend who is a birther, you know?

Immutable: your race, sex/gender identity, national origin, ethnicity, physical disability, age, or sexual orientation. Not your fault.

The opposite of immutable: your bullshiat political beliefs. Totally your fault.

Clear enough?

LordJiro: Oh for farks sake, are ALL Republicans whiny shiatstains?

republicans are the worst sort of man-babies. They swagger and brag when they win, and sputter, scream, and threaten when they lose.

Their universe is a terrifying, swirling vortex of hate, spite,fear, cruelty, and deliberate stupidity. Even the mere hint of having a sign of intelligence or a conscience will elicit shrieks of "RINO!!!".

I joined Korwin's gun laws email listerv back in 95, 96 or so. Was a very nice source of gun law updates, legal rulings, etc. Starting around 2000, he started going farking crazy. And then it was just about impossible to get off his damn email list. Took a couple years to stop getting crap from his site.

"My God! You mean they think about us the way we think about black people?"

Satanic_Hamster: I joined Korwin's gun laws email listerv back in 95, 96 or so.

Heh. You said "listserv."

So would it be politically correct instead to call them Questionable-Americans?

Prey and predator. There is no in between. Thus, the word Rhino makes sense to them.

I'm most annoyed by the article implying that birther = skeptic. A skeptic is a person who is doubtful of a claim or stated knowledge without evidence to support it. Once evidence starts piling up, a skeptic adjusts their position. Birthers do not. They start with a default position (or just start "asking questions"), and then indulge in various forms of confirmation bias to avoid changing their position. With all of the evidence available, there is no reasonable examination that leads to "he's not eligible to be president because he wasn't born here".
