Oh hey, it’s been a while since we’ve heard from any birthers, right? Well, guess what. John McCain‘s opponent in Arizona — his Republican primary opponent, that is — is sort of a birther. You see, he wants a look at Barack Obama’s birth certificate, but not for the reason you’d expect. He’s not so much concerned that Obama was born in Kenya as he is concerned with identity theft. Um, what?
During a Monday evening interview on CNN (watch it here), Hayworth pointed to the case of fugitive Vietnam War protester Howard Mechanic, who in 2000 sought a seat on the Scottsdale City Council using the alias “Gary Tredway.” After he was exposed, Mechanic eventually received a pardon from President Bill Clinton.
“All I’m saying is, for every race across the country, especially with identity theft in the news, it would be great that people can confirm who they say they are,” Hayworth said.
“Identity theft? I mean, come on,” an incredulous CNN host Campbell Brown said, laughing. “Is that honestly what this is about?”
Is this real? Does J.D. Hayworth really think Barack Obama is some Don Draper-type who lived a weird vagabond life and then magically accomplished incredible things to the point of becoming president? Even if that were the case (and it’s NOT), why would someone so smart — so incredibly crafty — have chosen the identity: Barack Hussein Obama? Really!? When the hell did everyone in the Republican Party turn into Mel Gibson in “Conspiracy Theory“? Between these people and the teabaggers who’re stockpiling guns, canned peaches and water, there’s some messed up stuff going on. And all because a black guy’s president.
Can we all have a do-over?
I was with you till the last sentence. Are you saying we shouldn’t have elected a black President?
Nope, not at all.
More like a do-over on everything. I don’t understand how we got to the point of incurable and all-encompassing crazy — a place where working on a conservative health care bill counts as socialism.
Sigh.
I guess mccain’s got nothing on hayworth where crazy is concerned …
Hayworth was a sportscaster here in Phoenix, AZ. He was terrible at it, and terrible to watch. Then he was an AZ congressman for 3 terms, I think it was, and resigned in disgrace after it was found that he was paying his wife a salary of about 100k per year from political donations for being his secretary. The guy is a dope, a joke, and worse yet, a republican.
So maybe the Brit, Neil Sankey can succeed where the Russian immigrant (from the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic) has failed, bring it on.
Poor little Birthers (still in denial about their losses), Judge Land and now judge Carter, smack down the crazies (case dismissed).
Not even “Fake News” Glenn Beck or Bill O’Reilly believes the crazies, how funny.
To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true (TOUGH WHEN YOU KEEP LOSING CASES), if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. I heard Orly Taitz, is selling a tape (I think it’s called “Money, Lies and Video tape”). She is from Orange County, CA, now I know what the mean when they say “behind the Orange Curtain”, when they talk about Orange County, the captial of Conspiracy Theories. You know Obama has a passport, he travel abroad before he was a Senator, but I guess they were in on it.
In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”.
I wonder if she is a mail order bride, just like her law degree? She is perfect reporter material for “Fake News”, where unfounded rumors and innuendo reign supreme , unlike a our US courts of law. The way our courts work is that you get a competent lawyer, verifiable facts and present them to a judge, if the facts are real and not half baked lies, then, and only then, you proceed to trial. The Birthers seem to be having a problem with their so called facts that they present. Let’s face it no one will go along with you until you guys win a case, but until then, you will continue to appear dumb, crazy or racist, or maybe all three. Keep plucking that chicken.
A lawyer, dentist, realtor and black belt, WOW I must say a JACK of all trades master of none
I heard that she now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC). She wants to re-establish a family values party.
I can only hope that Taitz will resist the state collectors that will be hounding her like the “ruff ruff” that she is to collect the $20K.
We won the election and now these sore losers will continue to spew your hate with lies.
