Lawmakers look dumb for reviving Obama hoax....tennessee

[spanone]

In the Handy Guide for Newspaper Opinion Columnists, this is called shooting fish in a barrel. Or hitting a slow-pitched softball.

Four Tennessee state representatives, all Republicans, have signed up to be plaintiffs in a lawsuit against President Barack Obama, aimed at forcing him to prove he is a United States citizen by coughing up his birth certificate.

Let me just say what all the world is now thinking, including their fellow Republicans on the Hill: This is dumber than a box of rocks.

Tennessee Reps. Eric Swafford, Stacey Campfield, Glen Casada and Frank Nicely now have a giant "G" on their foreheads for "Gullible." The four were so willing to drink the craziest flavor of Kool-Aid, they've gotten themselves caught up in a national urban legend that has been thoroughly debunked.

10. Muslin??

Whatever happened to Muslin sheets? They never pill up and last forever.
I guess it is more chic to sleep on a 1000 TC sheet than on a plain muslin sheet.:shrug:

6. Debunking never reaches as deep into the woods and hollers as the bull*hit does. nt

7. I was going to say that this story is unbelievable.

But given that they are Republicans, the exact opposite is true.

12. Same bunch that believe in 'Creationism'.

They will believe anything, except that a black man in the whitehouse could possibly be a good thing.

8. Uh..... I'm not a lawyer...

but under the U.S. system, I thought it was the Plaintiff who had to prove his case, not the Defendant.

You would think that somebody who was a state representative would know that or at least be in a position to have it pointed out.

9. You have GOT to be kidding

This whole birth certificate thing has moved way beyond silly.
