Birther nut challenges Obama being on Kansas ballot and gets a hearing...

[cynatnite]

Kansas officials plan to hold a hearing Thursday afternoon to weigh whether President Barack Obama is a citizen and should appear on the state's November ballot.

The Kansas Objections Board will be considering a challenge filed by Joe Montgomery, a Manhattan resident, who Monday objected to Obama being on the ballot. He claims the president is not an American citizen since his father was a citizen of the United Kingdom and Kenya. The all-Republican board -- which consists of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer and Attorney General Derek Schmidt -- has the power to remove Obama from the ballot in his mother's home state.

Montgomery, the communications coordinator for the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University, said in his filing that he does not believe Obama meets the criteria for citizenship because of his father's citizenship. He cites several Supreme Court rulings in the filing, which he says validate his argument. In the filing, Montgomery said that the rulings show a "natural born citizen" is a person born of two American citizens.

George Rmoney was born in Mexico.

2. We should find our "nut" to go after Rmoney's fathers birth place

More tax dollars wasted.

3. According to this guy Obama is not really black

because his mother was white


and the Romneys are from England so where are their citizenship papers??

5. Didn't romney's ...

grand-father renounce his citizenship when he fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution?

[Angry Dragon]

14. Yes he did

[1StrongBlackMan]

16. But let's not bring that up ...

That would possibly allow the gop a re-set!

[1StrongBlackMan]

4. I suspect that ...

even the gop-heavy Board of Objections will recognize the problems that leaving President Obama off their general election ballot will bring ...

[Flashmann]

6. I think

You might be attributing the capability of reasoned thought to those that have shown repeatedly they do not.....

[The Magistrate]

7. I Suspect, Sir, Removal would Bring Landslide Results for The President At The National Level

[Blue_Tires]

15. I also suspect the president's people are having a laugh

over the prospect of losing a grand total of SIX electoral votes that would probably go to Romney anyways....

But there is NO chance of removal...The national GOP knows this will cause more trouble than it's worth, and call the governor, who will call the panel and explain it using short words...

[1StrongBlackMan]

17. Short words like ...

McConnell AFB, Fort Riley and for good measure ... Leavenworth (in both its military and civilian capacity).

8. How embarrassing that he is affiliated with the vet school at KSU. They must be hanging their heads.

[Blue_Tires]

13. Well, it IS Manhattan...They'll probably give him a promotion...

[KSstellarcat]

19. I am a KSU alum. This idiot has been removed...

...from his band announcer job because of this. He did the PA stuff at our football games. I was all hyped up to lad the chorus of boos tomorrow. Believe it or not, the response around here was not supportive (with the exception of some elected officials like Kris Kobach, of course).

20. Welcome to the site!

Just a little smack talk from a KU grad

9. Someone from DU who lives in Kansas...

should volunteer to drive this guy to the hearing, coordinate a press conference for him, film it, put it on YouTube and any other outlet you can use to publicize it. The more these lunatics press this crazy crap, the more insane the republican party looks. Anyone who isn't appalled by this stuff wasn't voting for Obama anyway.

Keep it up. This is how the road to republican oblivion will be paved.

[msanthrope]

12. Bingo. nt

[JoePhilly]

10. They should have held a Sanity Hearing for the poor guy.

[msanthrope]

11. Good. These only hurt the Republicans. nt

[MuseRider]

18. Remember, this is Kansas

I live here and I can tell you it would not make a single bit of difference if he were on or off the ballot. Those who will vote for him will write him in anyway and the vast majority who would never consider voting for him won't think twice about having their choices narrowed down. They only need one box to check.
