Best comeback remarks to the Obama Birth Certificate idiots

[greenbriar]

It seems to me if there was any chance at all that Obama wasn't a natural born citizen that there would be a bunch of Republican senators and congressmen calling for an investigation, or someone in the Republican leadership saying something about it. After all, these are the people who spent $100 million investigating every time Clinton farted. Instead all we have are right-wing blogs and hack media outlets like WND.

Don't you think that the same people that tried desperately for 8 years to get Clinton out of office would salivate at this if there was anything at all to it?

All we have is the desperate screams of the right-wing extreme looking for anything to grasp onto because they lost the election and can't face it like men.

1. Ignoring them is the worst punishment.

2. I'm sure Bush and McCain are above using the State Department or Homeland Security

to investigate the matter. Don't you agree? No way would Bush have stooped so low as to use government resources to investigate this. I mean, if it's really such an obvious forgery it wouldn't take more than a split-second for our CIA, FBI, State Department, NSA, and anyone else Cheney could think of to expose it as a forgery and have Obama exposed as a fraud. National security is in the hands of a few Freepers because our president has such integrity when it comes to evidence and laws and such.

Right?

3. Yep. The "illegal aunt" thing is all they could find

And they were hoping it would doom Obama but it didn't!

4. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which wasn't US soil.

Legislation in 1953 is what granted John McCain (born 1936, Panamanian for the next 17 years) his US citizenship after-the-fact, but only because at least one of his two parents were already US citizens. That'll make them froth at the mouth and barking-at-the-moon mad. :thumbsup:

5. There are people who are still arguing that Shakespeare did not write his plays.

Never underestimate the power of a really silly idea. This will probably drag around for years in CT circles on the right.

6. Since rational discussion is pointless, I'm now considering the following options:

(1) Treat them to a dose of good ole American xenophobia Just tell them: I dunno what country you're from but maybe you should go back there. When they claim to be Americans, ask to see their birth certificates; if somehow they have birth certificates handy, denounce them as obvious forgeries. And if they make any grammatical mistakes, remind them that English is our language here and that they should learn it before their next visit

(2) Out-wacko them I know! Isn't it great! Finally we have a President from another galaxy! Everybody knows it! He's admitted it himself! I'm tired of Earthings screwing things up! If time permits, this can be followed by a discussion of my abductions by aliens and a comparison of the varieties of alien probes

7. OK, how about turning this into a Dick Cheney conspiracy theory?

Does anyone really believe that Dick Cheney could have been the CEO of Haliburton and lived in Texas withou being considered a resident of Texas? The Constitution forbids the President and Vice-President be from the same state. Let's have them arrested, nullify their election and declare the whole term null and void!!!!!!

8. He moved to Wyoming to avoid that problem. n't

9. The best "comeback" is simply pointing and laughing at them.

There is no comeback to stupid morons like them. Fuck 'em.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Even better comeback: completely ignoring them.

This is the "OMG BFEE DID 9/11" of the right wing.

[Puzzler]

11. They seem to think that all of the major Repugs are also "in on the fix"

The whole Obama birth certificate thing is very similar to the UFO/Bigfoot cults... you know, the government supposedly has the evidence, but somehow it's being suppressed, "men-in-black" style.

That's why arguing with these guys is useless.
