"Obama wasn't even born in America".

[undeterred]

Even though I know this is out there, I wasn't prepared when someone actually said it to me. My first thought was that I couldn't imagine Justice Roberts swearing in anyone who actually didn't meet the requirements to run for office. But I didn't think this person would even know who Justice Roberts was or that he was a conservative. The idea that this country could inaugurate a President who didn't meet the requirements for office is mind-boggling. If you believed such a thing, why would you even vote?

I treated it like someone had let out a fart. I took a step back and pretended I didn't hear or smell a thing.

1. I wanna say something...

...something witty...something profound...

...but you can't argue with stupid.

[county worker]

18. In a way it isn't stupidity. I think Rachael Maddow said something like this last night.

They are smart enough to understand that the truth doesn't fit their view of the world so they make up a lie to replace the truth.

I think there must be some psychiatric description of this somewhere.

[JHB]

22. "Dumbass" n/t

[Yavin4]

30. Rachel Just Described The Fox News Business Model

News that suits the narrative of closed-minded bigots.

[damntexdem]

23. How about "Hawaii doin' with your mental problems"?

You can't argue with stupid, but you can certainly joke with it, or at least at it.

[AndyA]

2. Yeah, that's about as ridiculous as the woman on Joy Behar's show

that said Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska because "the Lower 48 needed her." :puke:

I don't know where these people come from, but I really do wish the Mother Ship would return to Earth and pick them up for their return journey back home!

[CTyankee]

5. Yeah, and Sarah "responded to the Call."

Chalk another one up to truly moonbatty...I wondered how Joy and Stephanie could keep from falling on the floor laughing...

[RKP5637]

3. This country has a serious element of damn ignorant fools! n/t

[CBR]

9. 27- 29%... it is always the same. Look at the WAPO poll regarding

Palin. 71% said she is not qualified...

[RKP5637]

19. I beginning to think some are genetically predisposed to think as they do when

it comes to Palin and the like. The blinded conservatives. Of course, some would put the really far far far left in the category too.

[Maru Kitteh]

4. So what did you go with?

I think if anyone ever says that to my face I'll laugh at them and ask them "Where in the world did you hear something as silly as that? BOY! Someone sure sold YOU a bill of goods!"

[undeterred]

8. We were talking about the Supreme Court

and how they might rule on the issue of Asian Carp invading the Great Lakes. He brings up the birth status of Barack Obama, who he probably thinks is in charge of the SC. So I just kept talking and reminded him that the Court had a conservative majority and that conservatives don't tend to be strong supporters of the environment/conservation. And I slowly backed away...

[DrDan]

6. don't forget there are some on the left who believe the same thing about mccain

[sarge43]

10. McCain wasn't born in America. He is the child of US citizens and

born at a US military facility in the Canal Zone which makes him a natural citizen as is President Obama.

[DrDan]

14. and there are those on the left who deny the military facility birth

[sarge43]

20. I hardly think a career naval officer would let his wife give birth

in a civilian facility when there's a military one right down the street -- especially back then. One did not associate with the indigens except to boss them around, don'tchaknow.

Anyway, wouldn't matter if he were born on Mars. His parents were citizens, so he was a citizen from birth.

[undeterred]

16. But the Democrats actually stepped up and clarified that.

On the right, they are happy to have idiots who are completely misinformed.

[DrDan]

17. I have had a debate here on DU with another DUer who still does not accept it

[sarge43]

7. Well, if and when you ever run into another mouth breather like that,

just answer "Neither was John McCain." That usually makes their eyelids flap like window shades in a gale.

[TlalocW]

11. I've come up with a new phrase for things like that

I would have said, "That's one of the most Palin-Retarded things I've ever heard."

TlalocW

[LuckyLib]

12. My planned response is, "Last time I looked, Hawaii was a state."

[Rainngirl]

13. Oh,

I am WISHING for someone to actually say that to me! I will be ready!

[NM_hemilover]

24. wish granted,

THAT !

[NM_hemilover]

28. she wasn't ready.

[Wapsie B]

15. I heard that right after the election.

Whining and moaning about how a Kenyan can be President. Of course this is a ruby red area.

[Mopar151]

21. Whose America we talkin' here?

If you're talking United States of America only, Mc Cain loses out. If you accept reasonable leeway about US military bases and military families, both canidates are in good shape.
These goobers are f'n insane, though. Facts don't matter- only what some nutcase can insinuate, to sow doubt and confirm that stupid asses like them are "Real Amurricans" - waving their chinese made flags, thinking that they'd be better off under a benovlent (or psychotic- depends on the meds) monarch, whose real loyalties are to oil money and the CIA.

[NM_hemilover]

25. your name and mine says "we b friends"

[Mopar151]

31. Cool - you need a pro-shifted A-833 (HEMI) 4-speed? n/t

[farmout rightarm]

26. Technically, neither were Washington, both Adamses, Jefferson, and Jackson

all were born before the USA "existed"...

edit=====Monroe and Madison also

[gleaner]

27. When did Hawaii cease to be a state? n/t

[hootinholler]

29. They are correct!

Hawaii is a Pacific archipelago nowhere near the continent of America. It was however a State in the United States of America and thus, Obama is a natural born citizen.

Ask them if Canadians are eligible for the presidency, or Mexicans for that matter.
