If you enjoy watching Freeper's heads exploding

[NJmaverick]

Freeper land has been all abuzz about Obama's birth certificate ever since they lost. Well one of the right wing nuts wrote Senator Martinez (R-Florida) about this urgent "issue". They were not happy about his reponse and hilarity ensues.

1. Freeper writes "These people think we’re idiots!"

Duh!

[Renew Deal]

10. He's somewhat right. These people know they're idiots.

:dunce:

[Enthusiast]

26. Hell, they're still talking about

Vince Fostor. These idiots still believe the Clintons had him killed, as Rush Limbaugh told them. They want to start a civil war. They really believe that there is some dark conspiracy that includes Obama's secret Muslim origins.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

32. That should be on their homepage

It sums them up perfectly.

[TankLV]

46. Actually - we KNOW they're idiots! It's a "given" & proved daily with their posts...

[Crunchy Frog]

66. They don't think you're idiots, they KNOW you are.

They're just finally being honest with you. :rofl:

[camera obscura]

2. Funniest reply:

"Apparently this guy doesn’t read FR. Why I have learned more in the last month about this here than in all my life!"

1. Yeah, I'm shocked he doesn't read your right wing fringe website... really shocked

2. The fact that you would admit to that says it all.

[AzNick]

50. Yes, that is the funniest according to me too

"Why aren't people talking more about the moon landing hoax? I have read more about this there than in all my life!"

And yes, they faked it, but I have stopped making and backing this claim.

[WCGreen]

52. That sounds like a testimnial for ShamWOW....

[sufrommich]

3. "Great Lord Almighty! These people think we’re idiots!"

I'm pretty sure they KNOW you're idiots. They depend on it.

[yardwork]

4. My favorite post in the thread -

This can lead to serious consequences of a civil war.

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

5. Kinda funny

how they turn on their own if the answer isn't what they want to hear.

[NJmaverick]

7. That has always been their MO

Remember Georgie boy when he was stealing the election in 2000? One day the Florida Supreme court was wise and all knowing, because a ruling went their way, and the next they were evil know nothings, because they didn't get their way.

[anonymous171]

6. "RINO"? That fucker voted for the Terri Schiavo act.

With the likes of Rick Santorum and Bill Frist MD.

[AzNick]

51. What is a RINO?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

58. Republican In Name Only!

:hi:

[cali]

8. I love it.

that thread is freakin' priceless.

[d_b]

9. may god have mercy on his soul

lawlz

[NJmaverick]

11. Here is one of the funnier responses

"And if you word your letter more strongly and emphatically or send in a follow up they write you off as a whacko."

[Enthusiast]

27. Yeah, we wouldn't want to get the wrong idea

about these jaybirds, lol.

[Clio the Leo]

35. That is true....

... I did my Grad. Assistantship in the manuscript repository that houses the Senatorial papers of Albert Gore Sr. There are LITERALLY a series of boxes entitled "Nut Files." When I naively asked my professor what that meant he said, "you know, from nuts!" lol

[Puzzler]

12. "Niet! That is wrong!"

Does he mean "Nyet"? Nah... can't be that stupid can he (or she)? (sarcasm!)

[Puzzler]

13. Actually, in all fairness to the little Freep-tards...

... I don't think the senator gave them a particularly good answer.

[mainer]

15. I agree. He could have answered it better.

Since when can the voters overrule the constitution?

Why didn't he just give the facts: that the state of Hawaii has already examined the birth certificate and found it authentic? That birth announcements in the HOnolulu papers on that date record Barack's birth?

[NJmaverick]

38. That's because he thinks they are idiots and whack jobs

and it's better to let them stay angry. Angry is what works for repukes

[firedupdem]

14. They are truly sick individuals. What the hell is wrong with them? n/t

[demokatgurrl]

16. Is this old chestnut topic still kicking around? Sheesh. n/t

[NJmaverick]

28. "still kicking around"? It's their NUMBER ONE topic, by a large margin

[ncteechur]

17. I know the freepers do not think the PE is not a natural-born American

but where exactly do they think he was born?

Kenya?
Indonesia?

Didn't he produce a birth certificate and a birth announcement in a Honolulu paper?

[NJmaverick]

29. Kenya

Because some distant relative in Kenya claims to have seen his birth

[PatGund]

33. Born in Kenya.....

....but just in case he WAS born in Hawaii, the belief is that his mom lost both her AND Obama's US citizenship when she married Lolo Soetoro.

This is based on a faulty reading of the Nationality Act of 1940, (yes, a woman who married a non-citizen outside of the US would lose her citizenship - if the marriage took place before 1922), and a belief that Nationality laws in Indonesia trump US law for purposes of establishing US clitizenship.

In other words, they don't know what the hell they're talking about.

[unpossibles]

18. I wonder if any of them will get the irony of the following:

"Do the voters have exclusive authority to determine other constitutional issues as well? Does he think voters had the right to determine that segregation wasn’t an equal protection violation?"

I doubt it, but they constantly defend the voters' choice in things like Prop 8, despite it being unConstitutional.




That's different though. </sarcasm>

[FloridaJudy]

19. These guys have performed a real miracle

They've actually made Mel Martinez look sane and reasonable for a change.

[WeDidIt]

20. I HOPE the SCOTUS takes up the Donofrio case

just to watch their heads completely explode when The SCOTUS declares Obama to be a natural born citizen.

Fucking Donofrio is batshit insane. He's the one caliming it doesn't matter WHERE Obama was born because his father wasn't a citizen.

The fuck doesn't know his history. Both James Buchanan and Chester Arthur were sons of Irishmen.

[ecstatic]

21. Notice how the rep. didn't shoot down the claims?

He didn't deny the nasty rumors, he just said that the voters decided. :wtf: He is a POS who isn't putting a nasty rumor to rest

[Bunny]

22. Is it possible to excerpt the thread?

I always like to see what they're saying, but I won't go to their site.

[ZombieHorde]

60. Why won't you go to their site?

[Gothmog]

23. This thread is one of the funniest things that I have seen

The whole Obama birth certificate faux issue has been fun to watch. The freepers are true idiots and their rants are all so amusing.

One conservative blogger in Hawaii has speculated that Obama is not doing anything more to put this issue to bed because it is fun watching the idiots waste time on it. This is the same Hawaiin blogger who also found that two major Hawaiin newspapers carried birth announcements for President Elect Obama the week of his birth and that in those days these particular newspapers required a copy of the birth certificate.

I hope that these idiots remember this and do not show up to vote for Martinez in 2010

[trueblue2007]

39. I love it. I have relatives that are still emailing me about this

My brother is so mad that Obama was allowed to run for President. Mark said he was an illegal alien!!!

GOP's are fools. It's so much fun making fun of them.

[apocalypsehow]

24. Haaaaa! At least one freepii isn't a total ignoramus, check this out:

“Great Lord Almighty! These people think we’re idiots”!

...for the most part, they’re right.

Okay, which one of you guys are trolling over there? :shrug: :rofl:

[sickinohio]

25. That's really funny!!

I wish I could say that was me, but it wasn't.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Starry Messenger]

30. And the VERY BEST response so far:

To: Slings and Arrows

I predict we will all be angry often for the next 4 years.

Suck it haters!

[Ilsa]

40. Only if they last that long.

I suspect it wil be 8 years.

[Starry Messenger]

43. Yes. This is the correct answer.

:thumbsup:

[Ilsa]

41. They think they have a majority on Roe v Wade! They want it repealed

by popular vote! Yeah, they are Morans.

[illuminaughty]

64. I predict they are a bunch of Nostradumbasses

I like this one MPK, "Ok, let me get this straight,,,first this brain donor says we must unpold the Constitution,"

"UNPOLD" We know he can't mean "uphold" because they don't have any interest in that. Maybe it's a take on "implode" Oh, hell, now I need to take a child pill.:crazy:

[Starry Messenger]

74. Nostradumbasses!

I like. "unpold" :rofl: I missed that one. I need to go back in there today after work. I don't want to get Freep on my work computer!

[specialed]

31. This is mental mass hysteria in real time. Cool!

People can convince themselves of just about anything. What is up with that?

36. You have to forgive these people.....

... they have become accustomed to the fact that the judicial branch determines who the President is and not all those darned voters. Bless their pea pickin' hearts. lol

Thank you for the read. Good stuff.

[Rob Gregory Browne]

37. Somebody Please Go There and Post These Simple Links:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2008/jun/27/obamas-birth-certificate-part-ii/

I mean, these idiots are ridiculous.

[pipi_k]

42. They just never give up, do they?

I mean, what on earth makes them think they're smarter than all the experts in law and government who didn't even question the legitimacy of Obama's candidacy in the first place?

They think they're going to uncover some previously unknown sentence or paragraph in the Constitution that's going to back them up?

Honestly, if they had expended even half as much energy toward really getting to know what a loser Bush was back in 2000, the world would probably be a much better place today.

Fuckwads...

[gravity]

44. "Folks, I am beginning to believe that we need to vote out EVERY SINGLE GOP INCUMBENT "

"...in the 2010 primaries."

Sounds good to me

[Colobo]

45. Hell yeah!

[Mid_FL_voter]

47. I just cannot get over their idiocy & total paranoia

No matter how hard I try, I just don't get these people.

Don't they understand that their totally nutty beliefs are causing this total MESS for the Republican Party? Maybe not. Maybe not knowing is the definition of insanity.

[Skittles]

48. spend a day listening to FOX NEWS or RUSH LIMBAUGH

it's very easy to see where their nuttiness comes from

[AzNick]

49. Ok... What's a RINO? n/t

[WCGreen]

53. A republican who likes sex with a rhinoceros...

Republican in name only...

55. What would that make DINOs then?

;) Dinosaurs are extinct.

[Starry Messenger]

54. Republican In Name Only. n/t

[AzNick]

56. Oh ok like the new Galactica is "GINO"

Although I do like the new Galactica.

[Starry Messenger]

57. I like it too. That can be our secret.

:)

[Douglas Carpenter]

59. conspiracy theory is the last refuge of the defeated in denial

I hate to say it but I have read any number of post here on DU just as crazy and just as idiotic and just as straight out of wacky-wacky world as those on FR.

Only weeks ago their were a few posters seriously claiming that the financial crisis was fake. There were other posters seriously claiming that Bush was going to cancel the elections and impose martial law.

Of course those post were much more popular here when Bush and the radical right were riding high and there was no visible end in sight to their rein of terror and error.

Now that the forces of progress are prevailing again - the shoe is on the other foot.

These freeper post should serve as a reality check to not go off the deep end when things go badly for us.

[ZombieHorde]

61. Yes.

[shellgame26]

62. I'm tempted to open the link

but I'm afraid I'll have to bathe myself in holy water afterwards.

[NJmaverick]

67. Oh it's fun

besides how else can you learn about how and what our enemy is thinking?

[bridgit]

63. Naw, I'll pass, I've got my belly full watching DUer's heads exploding...

[MrSlayer]

65. Well they do have a point.

Martinez's reply was ludicrous. He should have answered along the lines of "Mr. Obama would have never been able to run in the Primary if he weren't a citizen. The State of Hawaii has confirmed his record of birth. This whole line of questioning is ridiculous."

Instead he went with the dumb answer.

[sledgehammer]

71. I agree...

His response was pretty dumb. It shows his complete ignorance about the eligibility of a President - it is not decided by the voters, it is a combination of the Constitution and legislation that establishes the criteria.

Now, of course, freepers can't accept a valid certificate of live birth, nor confirmation from the state of Hawaii health director (appointed by the republican governor) of the validity of the original certificate. Nor the fact that the issue would have been brought up on numerous occasions in the past if there were any real concerns.

I mean, what can you do? Nothing really, except enjoy the next four (and probably eight) years knowing they will be banging their heads on a brick wall.

[treestar]

73. He even seems to be trying to blame the courts

That Favorite Freeper Villain

[LynneSin]

68. You know the real stupidty - just think if for some bizarro reason these dumbasses were right....

they'd do all this work for what? President Joe Biden

:rofl:

[zulchzulu]

69. "This can lead to serious consequences of a civil war."

First, they have to ask Mommy if they can leave the basement...

[Kingofalldems]

70. Someone now claiming Martinez not a citizen--He's Cuban

Also found another freeperism--He's a 'rhino'.

[Gothmog]

72. Mel is not running for re-election

Martinez would lose to almost any Democrat that we put against him and knows it. He just announced that he is not running for re-election and so he does not have to face the ire and dislike of the freepturds

[NJmaverick]

75. I would love to see him now tell them what he really thinks

now that he has nothing to lose. That would be so healthy for the Freepers and so funny for us.
