Sen. Richard (DICK) Shelby hints at Obama not being native born...
"Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate," Shelby said. "You have to be born in America to be president."

.....Interesting Wikipedia entry for Richard(DICK)Shelby --

"Shelby claims to be born in Birmingham, Alabama to Alice L. Skinner and Ozie Houston Shelby, although this has never been fully confirmed"

3. Isn't it true that Shelby himself is not a naturally born citizen?
I think everyone who throws this smear out there, should be as closely scrutinized in every portion of their life as those who have been accused. It is reckless and ridiculous to have to prove and reprove your birth.

8. Ding ding
Rethugs believe they own power and will destroy anyone in their path. Ask Bill Clinton.
Democrats will either put these criminals in prison or they will facilitate the destruction of the entire political system. Rethug rules are simple - by any means necessary.

11. What a fucking IDIOT Richard Shelby is!!
1. I have no doubt that Richard Shelby KNOWS Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. Read his weasely words. He never comes right out and denies it. That means...

2. He is reinforcing the ignorance of his constituents to shore up his political position. What kind of rubes does Shelby think he's representing? Well, scratch that. If they think Barack Obama wasn't born in Hawaii, or that there's even a possibility that's true, we know what kind of dumbfucks we're dealing with. And Shelby must know this, too. That's why he's throwing them a bone.

Senator Richard Shelby: keeping the dumbfucks ignorant and angry so he can keep being ignorant and angry in the Senate. Time for this asshole to go.

21. Senator Shelby is heavily into pork barrel spending for Alabama but resents anyone
else getting anything.

Senator Shelby procures about $10 million a month in pork barrel spending for the state of Alabama. Yet he's the one who insists that we shouldn't do the same for other states (i.e., stimulus package). The guy's an ass. He started as a Dixiecrat, switched to Republican because he got into a tussle with Clinton and even John McCain hates him.

23. A Senator continuing to
spread hurtful gossip like that ought to have to prove he has a brain to stay in office. Will this crap ever be disproved enough times for RW bozos to GET IT.
