Bachmann: You Only Hear About Birtherism On The Left

[lasku0007]

It's amazing how this bitch can lie with a straight face better than any politician

[p3snooper]

"Where are the jobs? Where are the jobs?"

The jobs are wherever George W. Bush and the republicans lost them, you mindless moron.

[billyboylb]

Where are the "jabs?" What kind of crazy accent is this? LMAO...she's nuts!

[YoungSpotUBrock]

Clearly, Democrat vs. Republican battle is old one. You are both fucking yourselves by siding any sides. Please, stop it, for the Love of God.

[ToddAldrich]

@YoungSpotUBrock Quit STEALING our prosperity and our freedoms and you will have no issue with me.

[GretchenDawntreader]

ROFL "The only place this issue comes up is on the left."

What a tard. It's the GOP and the Teabaggers who have been screaming about how Obama is not an American citizen. Last I checked, they were not 'on the left.'

Proof once again, conservatives will say anything, regardless of truth, to score points, then when challenged they say "who us, we never said that."

[ToddAldrich]

@GretchenDawntreader

THat just goes to show you how horrible of a job YOUR news sources are doing.

The whole birther meme started with the Hillary campaign.

The birthers make up a VERY small portion of the Tea Party movement, Meanwhile YOUR side does indeed have a lot of kooks. The Democrats have a higher percentage of Truthers than we have birthers.

[GretchenDawntreader]

@ToddAldrich "oh yeah, well we don't have kooks, you have kooks!"

Your argument is powerful and transfixing.

The women shaking papers in plastic bags and weeping about getting their country back aren't Democrats. Democrats aren't picking and choosing which parts of the Bill of Rights to keep. Democrats aren't running ads to suppress the latino vote in the southwest. Democrats aren't threatening violence if they don't win. Democrats don't show up to political events with loaded guns.

[ToddAldrich]

@GretchenDawntreader No we BOTH have kooks.

And yes it IS the Democrats who pick and choose which parts of the bill of rights they want to keep. The Democrats have not just threatened violence - they have perpetrated it already. In addition, no significant Republican has threatened violence either - and when one of OUR fringe kooks does so, he is immediatly ostrasized. It is part of the Democrat/Union POLICY to rough up the oppostition physically.

[GretchenDawntreader]

@ToddAldrich clearly you are talking about that guy the insurance companies bussed in to disrupt a rally, with videotape of him up walking around during a scrap, then the next day with his lawyer he was in a wheelchair with a neck brace.  Bullshit and you know it.

I fail to see how Sharron Angle is being ostracized by Sarah Palin or the rest of the teabagger GOP leaders. She's the 2nd amendment remedy person, on tape. Hard for her to argue with her own words. Now you got the guy in Texas.

[ToddAldrich]

@GretchenDawntreader If it were one or two incidents, you might have a case, but there have been far more.

Fact is that appointed members of the Obama administration itself have threatened far more than the Tea Party.

And again IT IS YOUR SIDE that is ignoring MAJOR chucks of the bill of rights.

[GretchenDawntreader]

@ToddAldrich who in the Obama administration threatens people with violence, please name the perp.

In the meantime, it is hilarious to come off 8 years of Bush, who lied us into war, rolled back privacy in the name of the war on terror, wiretaps, arrests and tortures US citizens, extraordinary rendition, gag orders on librarians when the US wants to know what books you read...compared to the current administration, who saved the auto and bank industry and improved health care. Srsly?

[ToddAldrich]

@GretchenDawntreader

1) Did not lie - but relied on information that was faulty BECAUSE of liberals castrating our intelligence capabilities.

2)Wiretaps, Rendition etc - all still carried out by the current administration. & not in violation of the Constitution anyway. Key word "unreasonable".

3) There is not nor has there been torture sanctioned by Bush

4) Bank industry was DESTROYED BECAUSE of liberal policies as was the Auto industry. TARP rescue was Bush.

(cont)

4)

[YoungSpotUBrock]

@ToddAldrich

Liberals = Intelligence

Conservatives = Big Question Mark.

Sorry, its been proven that Liberals get more education than the Conservatives but that doesn't stop you from name calling.

[ToddAldrich]

@GretchenDawntreader The current administration is DESTROYING our healthcare based on lies, exaggerations and demonization of a job producing industry.

The administration flat out destroyed the businesses of thousands of auto dealerships and put hundreds of thousand out of work with the forced closing of those dealerships. (of course they were not political supporters so I guess in your world that makes it OK)

[YoungSpotUBrock]

@ToddAldrich

what the fuck are you for saying that the administration killed thousands of auto dealerships?Are you fucking insane? I don't agree with Obama's policy, but he fucking save GM's ass and dealership's ass with it

Also, the health care industry is growing and this fucking health care bill is ONLY GOING TO HELP THEM GROW BECAUSE EVERYONE WILL BE GETTING THE HEALTH CARE**. Fucking logic, holy shit, you have none. so sick of these bastards who think corporations are out for them.

[ToddAldrich]

@YoungSpotUBrock Listen here Mr. Genius. Explain to me how eliminating their CUSTOMERS (which the dealerships essentially were) helped save GM. Then Mr. Genius, explain to me why GM went into bankruptcy anyway, it Obama "saved" them.If Obama did NOTHING they would have gone into bankruptcy and someone would have bought them and not much would have changed anyway - except we wouldn't have the added public debt. Also explain to me why Obama STOLE $ from bondholders to pay his cronies

[ToddAldrich]

@YoungSpotUBrock Is that why companies all over the country are DROPPING the insurance plans they had for their employees - or are seeking extensions for compliance with the new plan? Is that why many INSURANCE companies are dropping many of their insurance plans?

You are too fricking stupid to look around and see the ACTUAL consequences. Instead you keep listening to the propaganda your masters/owners in government feed you. You'll make a great slave.

[ToddAldrich]

@YoungSpotUBrock They closed 1100 GM dealerships and nearly 800 Chrysler dealerships.

onlineDOTwsjDOTcom/article/SB1­24238650972623589DOThtml

HUNDREDS of thousands of people lost their jobs DIRECTLY because Obama closed these dealerships down.

[p3snooper]

@ToddAldrich said, "HUNDREDS of thousands of people lost their jobs DIRECTLY because Obama closed these dealerships down."

Why in the world would the administration care which dealerships were open or closed? Obama didn't close the dealerships. The auto companies did.

[ToddAldrich]

@p3snooper This was part of the terms DEMANDED by Obama in the bailout.

Don't take my word for it, google "bailout dealership closings"

I also find it curious that these dealerships were overwhelmingly owned by political adversaries.

[GretchenDawntreader]

@ToddAldrich no, I'm not done. You want to talk the Bill of Rights? Address two issues then.

1. GOP-promoted ads in the southwest to convince Latinos not to vote. Voter suppression, how rights-based.

2. the GOP admission that they put all those anti-gay initiatives on the ballot in key stats to get out the conservative christian vote and win elections. Explain putting rights, RIGHTS of gay and lesbian Americans on the line for crass political gain.

[GretchenDawntreader]

@ToddAldrich oh and the icing on the cake with the guy who claimed he was beat up by the SEIU...he told the press he had no health insurance.

And what he was sent to the town hall to protest at and disrupt by the insurance companies, was the Democrat initiative to pass health care reform and get people like that guy INSURANCE.

Teabaggers are being used just like evangelicals were last time. "omg gays and abortion" then after the election "thanks for voting, we don't need you anymore."

[robost]

Another sociopath.

[5LiterRapesCAMAROaSS]

We are looking at the Republican party's clone of Sarah Palin. hahaha

What a retard. She needs to disappear very quickly. Pathetic

[ToddAldrich]

@5LiterRapesCAMAROaSS Why???? What she said is correct. I NEVER hear about "birther ideas" EXCEPT when you lefties bring it up.

Oh, and where did it start???? The Hillary Clinton campaign.

[GretchenDawntreader]

@ToddAldrich so, I suppose the queen of the Birthers who keeps making forged birth certificates, Orly Taitz, is a liberal Democrat?

Get real. The Left brings it up to refute it, if the Right hadn't brought it up with continuing insinuations, there would be nothing to refute. The Right is too used to making wild statements and not getting challenged on them, and when they are challenged about them it's a festival of backpedaling.  Like Bachmann saying the Right never questioned his birth.

[quantumsolutions]

She said, " I have no reason to doubt that he WASN'T born in the US"

They reveal the Truth even when they don't intend it. LOL.

[razumfrackle]

quantumsolutions,

A secret signal too her base. haHa

[gonadcancervictim]

obama is pro war

[MooseOfReason]

What about liberals wanting Sarah Palin to show proof that Trig was her daughter?

[livininspokane]

@MooseOfReason Trig is her son, dumbass! More proof of the dis-education of the Republican Party

[stealth63]

Good lord this woman is stupid. She blames this on the Dems when there are ,what , like 8 republicans who are sponsoring the bill? How the hell is this woman able to get through a day w/o getting hit by a bus? I can't decide if she is really that stupid, or if its all an act and she's really just a colossal hypocrite. Either way, it's fun to watch embarrass herself. Palin/Bachman 2012! Please!

[XxDITONExX]

No! You're answer doesn't mean anything to me! NO!

[java501]

It is not the guests job to set the discussion topic for anyone show. It isn't Bachman's show it isn't up to her what questions she get asked. I find it quite rude that you come on someones else show and not answer the questions you were paid to answer. If it was me i would say nope your not getting paid for not answering the questions you were being asked. To borrow th phrase from the TYT show. "How do you them apples".

[java501]

i have just re-read what i posted and and clearly failed to make some decent cohesive sentences my bad. I hope you understood what i meant.

[java501]

Alot of those that seem to defend bachman don't seem to understand that the host and staff decide the topic for any given show not the guests. guests would be chosen to discuss the points the host wants to make. Would i like to be the host that has Bachman admit on TV that she was wrong on Obama sure i would. It is not at the guests discretion to change the topic of discussion. there is no reason to assume that King will not set anyone day or show to jobs in this country.

[Ayrleig]

Michelle Bachman needs an education.  Maybe Minnesotans do, too.

[disprovit]

This delusional woman who thinks everybody is idiot gives a bad name to women, Christians, politicians and even even Republicans.

[bundlesjr]

The republican strategy is to just say no, even if you know your WRONG. I still think Palin is dumber though...

[supertommy1]

what difference does it make if Obama was or was not born on US soil? No one in the government follows the Constitution anyway.

[guiltybob1]

Holy shit, this bitch just can't answer a fucking question can she?

[john176900]

Did she anwser the question ? NO hell NO

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

Michelle Bachmann Blocks Bill Declaring Hawaii Obama's Birthplace

July 27, 2009 - by Donny Shaw

UPDATE:

This afternoon, the House was moments away from approving a resolution to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the entry of Hawaii into the Union that contains language declaring that President Obama was born in the state. But at the very last second, Rep. Michele Bachmann [R, MN-6] swooped in and rescued the birthers from legislative defeat.

[emaxware]

I give her props for a somewhat ingenious use of a double negative which could not have been by mistake. The fact that she is smarter than most give her credit, is not crazy but deliberately subversive, makes her scarier and not to be taken for granted or quickly dismissed.

[flibadob]

You're right she's not crazy, she's far beyond any humanly comprehensible measure of insanity.

[flibadob]

And as for her being smarter than she lets on or if she's deliberately subversive....

watch?v=IJGNICvi6gA

The examples are endless. Need I say more.

[mmeyerdc]

The Whack Job Authentique strikes again.

[pakratmak]

'I have no reason to doubt that he wasn't born in the United States'

That's pretty clear what she meant not to say.

[Big10]

Yep, all her double negatives mean she's with the Birthers.

More corroboration that she's a total nut!

[clnmike]

What the hell? Is she serious?

[Fareslols]

Going to school in a foreign country DOES NOT invalidate your citizenship. You fail at logic.

[Gildian1]

god damn it, I'm dissapointed i'm in the same state as her

[jshooper]

michelle bachmann wants to talk about jobs ?....LMAO...try to pass that pathetic bullshit over on someone who doesn't know better....she is one of the lead nuts out there pushing wild accusations about death panels, fema camps, americorps secret armies....she also may have played a key role in stoking the fear about the census that got that worker killed recently....SHE IS A NUT....she promotes all these lies including the birthers....she can't run and hide when she gets called out on it

[csick04]

Actually 5 out of the last 8 presidents were Republicans, two serving 2 terms. That means over the last 40 yrs, Replublicans controlled the White House for 28 yrs. As a matter of fact, there have been more Republican Presidents than any other party. Also the Republicans controlled congress for 12 of the last 15 yrs. So i'm not gettin the whole 100yrs thing. Even if that was true, (which it isnt) the USA is 233 yrs old, that would still leave the Republican's in control most of time. thanks.

[TrollBuster9090]

Franklin Delano Roosevelt brought in the HOOT-SMALLEY tariffs, the Nazis were leftists, and only people on the left are obsessed with Obama's birth certificate!

My theory is that Bachmann is actually from some bizarro universe, and only ended up in ours as a result of some freak electrical storm. Now we need 1.21 Gigawatts to send her back!

[Fareslols]

Michelle Bachman is such a batshit loco lady.

[Fareslols]

@justonemorename, You fail at history, You fail HORRIBLY.

[java501]

there was a text comment that asked to name just one republican representive that talks the birth talk: (left vs right)

AHHH SHIT ....LMAO....bachmann is a clown who can't even put together a logical complete sentence....she , like many other right wingers...are pathological liars...who completely meltdown when outside of their little bubble world....once they leave the comfort of fox news...or the christian right radio....they are exposed as mental midgets....who's only tools in their shed....are lies, racism, fearmongering and inciting paranoia

[WKaliberr]

Larry King must get frustrated as fuck with this bitch

[bkarwin]

Michelle Bachmann isn't crazy or stupid. She's a master of propaganda.

Notice she said, "I have no reason to doubt that [Obama] *wasn't* born in the United States." Her words were well-chosen and carefully enunciated so she made her response sound like she rejects the birther claim, but as she is quoted, she supports it.

Her inability to answer the direct question is deliberate.  She knows where her support comes from.

[java501]

the right do seem to be hurt by the notion that they don't have any ideas by that democrat that i can't remember the name of for the life of me. I honestly think the right have realised that going down the delegitimising of President Obama won't actually get them into office next time round. so what are they doing now lets decide when it is appropriate to speak jobs and try and turn the tables on the dems who want to keep pointing out your previous falsehoods (the birther nonsense)

[java501]

magically and all of a sudden you have repub. trying to divert the laughter from them. politics is a funny old game. All of a sudden rights never once claimed Obama was a illegitimate president just like magic the fabric of reality pulled from underneath us that we must now believe.

I really do like this Quote:

"Reality tends to have a liberal bias"

Dems and Obama have been trying to pass a health care bill and get America the Olympics both of which would go towards securing our future.

[carrierexchange]

Look up Paranoia on wikipedia and seek help.

[jenisoutofhermind]

Not only is she stupid and can't answer a direct question, but she retarded to blame the left for the "birthers".

[tigerwoodsdeception]

I can't believe that people aren't taking the birth certificate thing more seriously; I mean, how can we trust that the President is who he says he is? Why should we believe him? After all, he's just a politician, and you know how they lie about everything. It seems like people don't care about the truth anymore. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

[moregravyplease]

That's so funny. The other day she was talking about how great Glen Beck's show is; she should ask Glen Beck if 'birtherism' is a non-issue. From what I've seen of his crappy moon-battery, it's almost the ONLY issue.

[hellshade2]

one thing you need to remember about the media. they are not in the business of brining facts to the table though some do more than others. remember what sells newspapers and air time it's not news that sells but sensationalism and hype. remember that....

[KataVideo]

birthers hate America

[maskedphrogg]

I take it that in reality you would be more concerned if you weren't so concerned about all these other infractions of Law.

I'm not about to take a trip around the mulberry bush and try to connect Obama's ineligibility to those other topics. Where Barack was born is a topic in it's own right. I think it impacts much closer to home than you suspect and does not need to promote loyalty to Kenya to be destructive.

[maskedphrogg]

How can you "not give a shit" whether the President is a natural born citizen?

By Law, Art 2 of the Constitution, the President MUST BE a natural born citizen. If Mr Obama is not a natural born citizen he is INELIGIBLE to hold the Office of the President.

Maybe you don't care but the rest of us think it is critical for the President to be lawfully eligible to be POTUS.

[asphyxiafeeling]

I will start giving a shit when we try GWB and Cheney for War Crimes. after we handle THAT issue with presidents breaking laws, we can get over to Obama's birth certificate. If not, then I guess we'll just have to accept the truth- that it doesn't matter anyway because we haven't followed the constitution for a long time. We're as corrupt as the Roman Empire was before they fell. Just a matter of time before we lose our Super Power status.

[maskedphrogg]

Gee, perhaps if we had a legitimate President in place that process could actually get off the ground.

What, may I ask, would lead you to believe that an outlaw President would seek to expose or prosecute anther outlaw President? Especially when the acts of the past outlaw have enhanced the power and authority of the outlaw currently holding the Office.

[laleeloolelo]

Uh Mask, Obama is a natural born citizen according to 14th Amendment of the constitution.

ANYONE who was born on US soil is NBC (Jus Soli).

Hawaii is part of US soil.

[maskedphrogg]

Excuse me?

How does the 14th Amendment determine birthplace?

You still need to have been born within the borders of the US.

I do agree the Nation as a whole deserves the Due Process codified w/the 14th in this matter.

perhaps your nym here should be lala to reflect the land you were born of

either that or it shows us how you are whistling while Rome burns

[laleeloolelo]

No offense Mask, but how does Hawaii not part of of "within the borders of the US"?

Obama can be born on as far as Guam and he would still be considered as NBC.

[maskedphrogg]

Once again, how does the 14th DETERMINE birthplace?

It does not. It grants eligibility for elective office as well as expectation of Due Process of Law.

Since there is no reliable evidence, notices in a local newspaper are not reliable, there remains a question as to Barrack Obama's legitimacy as the President and Commander in Chief of our Military forces.

Unfortunately, in this instance only though it is a good privacy law, Hawai'i is bound by State Law to NOT release birth records publicly.

[laleeloolelo]

Uh Mask, 14th Amendment has a CITIZENSHIP CLAUSE which states:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Since Obama was BORN (Not naturalized) on US soil he is a citizen since birth.

Hence natural born citizen.

As for reliable evidence, what could be more reliable than statement from Hawaii State Governor and Hawaii State Health Director?

[maskedphrogg]

No kidding!

That's the Clause *I'm* pointing to.

You have to be a natural born citizen.

The question I raise is why is Obama unwilling to provide the documentation necessary to prove that status.

Hawai'i has it's hands tied by State Law.

Neither the Gov nor the SHD have provided anything resembling valid documentation, that would be an infraction of Hawai'ian Law.

ONLY BHO can voluntarily provide the necessary docs, why won't he do so?

Perhaps it relates to a Kenyan birth? Perhaps not.

[laleeloolelo]

Mask, please.

Obama doesn't need to provide anything because the burden of proof is on his accuser.

If someone is accused of hitting his wife (Remember "when did you stop hitting your wife?" joke?) does that mean he has to show hospital records to prove he never hit his wife?

Then again, if you want to keep doubting Obama's NBC status that's fine with me.

Because the people who actually matters in this, such as SC judges, have no doubt that he is an NBC.

[maskedphrogg]

What's this? You resorting to lies now?

Supreme Court justices have yet to enter this debate. The question is do they have the integrity to hear any of the cases that are likely to come to their Court, or will they allow Justice to fail by their silence.

[laleeloolelo]

Mask, the SC judges WILL NEVER HAVE TO enter this debate because all of them have no doubt that Obama is NBC.

And no they don't have to to hear every case which enter their court, they just have to hear the ones backed by evidence instead of suspicion or conjectures.

[maskedphrogg]

I sincerely doubt you have the slightest idea what the Justices sitting on the Supreme Court think.

Nor do you have a clue about how the Justice system works.

I too doubt a valid case will be made before the Supremes. Not because Barry was born in Hawaii. No, Political machinations will keep such cases from being heard. Enjoy your rule under a foreign national.

[laleeloolelo]

You may doubt all you want Mask.

I don't have to know what's in their mind, i just have to know that if there's ever any doubt then Obama would not have been sworn in by any of SCOTUS judges.

BTW i know one essential part of how justice system works.

The burden of proof is on the accuser.

And so far Obama's accuser has not shown any proof.

[maskedphrogg]

That's odd, just a few posts above you claimed you did know the Supremes conclusions on Obama's birthplace.

Barry's own grandmother claims he was born in Kenya. I'm surprised you would back those outside of his family over the assertion made of a family member.

[laleeloolelo]

Yes i do know their conclusions, and i don't have to know what's in their minds to know about it.

I just have to use my common sense, like i said before if there's ever any doubt then Obama would not have been sworn in by any of SCOTUS judges.

As for the "claim," it's been debunked.

WKYC August 17, 2009:

Exclusive: President's aunt ends her silence.

"Barack was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Ann (Obama's mother) never stepped foot on Kenyan soil," Onyango says defiantly.

[maskedphrogg]

Ah, so you are a mind reading mystic. How nice for you.

Interesting, there's even in-fighting over Barry's birthplace within his immediate family. Well gosh, who's word should we believe? Too bad there is no certified documents to validate birth...

What? You say there are... hmmm..

gosh, this could easily be debunked if only Barry would authorize the public release of his long form birth cert. Wonder why he doesn't do that...

[stealth63]

Or Panama, ask McCain.

[yay4tube]

I don't think she's smart enough to have done this on purpose, but go ahead and parse "I have no reason to doubt that he wasn't born in the United States."

[hellshade2]

do you even hear yourselfjustonemorename on one hand you say that the birther issue does not matter yet on the other you say it's the leftists that are saying it. if it does not matter to you then why are you pointing fingers? i'm saying we have to stop the finger pointing at the supposed right and left. that's what the politicians and goverment want so we don't keep a close eye on the bullshit they are pulling. pay attention and stop being a nutjob...

[daddydon48]

Before they voted for her did they look into this womans eyes and see she is "out to lunch". No wonder America is no longer a great country, too many Morons like her are actually able to be elected!

[zndprophet]

The audacity of the right to all of a sudden worry about jobs, and bailouts is very hypocritical.

The America we're living in is one they wanted, and one they built. Where the free market overpowers everything, including the government, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer-and the middle class dissolves into the lower class.

This is what they ordered! Now they don't like it and they blame Obama for it? What a bunch of assholes.

[flowergirl1313]

I LOVE Carvill. Bachmann is full of shit.

[grendelee]

the birther thing has never been brought up to her? wow, what a liar

[Caenum3]

Bonus points if you can count how many times she blinks in 1 minute.

[hellshade2]

your a nutjob, not necessarily on the gold issue but definetly on the birther issue. that's a rightwing wingnut tool.

i so hate the wholle right and left thing going on these days while american people point fingers at eachother it's letting the goverment get away with the total theft of the american people not to mention the ceos and the rich.....

[hellshade2]

notice how bachman redirects things by saying this issue comes up on the left? let's check all those birthers you'll find an overwhelming number of them are racist rightwing nut jobs....

[route99]

Bachmann must think the American people are the dumbest, nimrods on the planet. (That title only goes to the people who actually voted to allow this women to wander around Capitol Hill)

It's like Joseph McCarthy saying after HUAC hearings: "I don't know why everyone's so focused on Communism, the people in my state are only asking about jobs".

This is the tried and true tactic of the right. Drop the 'bomb', and than get a move-on when the aftershock comes back to bite you.

[thethomasshowextra]

she is right if no one has a job then whats the point of having over payed government after all there only a management company called the federal government not kings & queens & i know if i run a company into the ground i'd be fired but aparently if your elected you can run a whole country into the ground & get  bonus check for it & you get to hang out with other leaders including communist ones (China) talking & drinking cognac while smoking panama cigars & thinking top of the world ma.

[java501]

i don't think you understand politics at all or what it is like to be a politician. why are so many of these payed for politicians dithering on health care? They wouldn't be concerned for their jobs and not making there position know on the matter till they are sure that those that they represent are in agreement with the way that they will vote on the publics behalf. they vote in a manner against the views of the public and they lose their job end of discussion.

[thethomasshowextra]

I may not have a total understanding of politicians mate but i do have a very good sense of right & wrong & i can see swindling government when i see one she is correct that jobs are important & you would feel the same if you had no job & realised that ecomony is more than counting none existant billions while people starve homeless in your streets & you wonder why crime is so high in the states full stop discusion ends. nuff said

[java501]

I am jobless and have been for like a year now. when i'm walking the streets and see homeless i always try and do my bit to help with food any money i don't need when i can. I used to donate to a charity that used to try and look after the homeless.  I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to attribute to me. just look at my profile picture do i really look like someone that can afford the non-essentials?

[java501]

i happen to think it is the Presidents job to support any project that would improve Americas standing in the world (with the financial rewards that come with it) like having the Olympics in Chicago regardless of what i might think about the people in Chicago which the President did credit to him whether it be successful or not.

[kkinski2000]

Hahaha

[p00lman]

"I have no reason to doubt he wasn't born in the United States."

Holy shit, are you kidding me? Did she nearly use a triple negative (no reason + wasn't born + doubt, which is practically a negative) to say she isn't convinced Obama was born in the US?

Holy shit.

[ChunAsperEndao]

Yep. I was going to point that out, too. The triple negative definitely works out to mean "Yes, I doubt that he was." But I'm not willing to give her enough credit to suppose that she did that intentionally. More likely she was just fumbling her words.

[p00lman]

It's just so fucking slimey.

I don't know if I'd prefer a run-around triple negative or Sarah Palin's blatantly stupid "all of them" answer (in reference to what newspapers or magazines she reads).

I have not heard any prominent politician on the right bring up the "birther movement".

If you find one, let me know.

[LarcheOsborne]

Allen Keyes is on the right and he filed suit in California for the "Birthers." The movement is largely headed by Orly Taitz -- no I'm not making that name up and she's not a porn star. Google her name for details.

[lees20022]

Hillary Clinton's campaign started the birther movement,, not people from the right.

They also started that rumor that a Michelle Obama' 'whitey" video exists.

And its now the LaRouche movement that pushes the "birther" . They also think 911 was an inside job.....Idiots!!

[whoo689]

What a moron! There are lots of idiots on the Right who into this birther nonsense, and she says "Only the left is talking about them." Oh, please. Get a clue, Michelle. Is she from some kind of parallel universe where everything is the opposite?

[carrierexchange]

you are very delusional. seek medical help.

[Jianxzhi]

Is it just me or is Michele Bachmann becoming more like Sarah Palin day by day?

Anyway, this is like the third time in two weeks when Carville has been on these panels that I see him burst out laughing after these right-wing nuts make their case. Oh I love it!

[carrierexchange]

Ahahaha.

On what planet does her mind reside?

[GreenEnergy2112]

bachmann has no idea where the birther movement started?

Maybe she should spearhead a probe into the matter and get to the bottom of it. She has no credibility. Well after all she does speak in tongues at church, that should be a litmus test for her reality based thought.

[astronato]

She is correct. These birther whackadoos are a convenient boogeyman for the left. And it's the same 3 or 4 birther kooks who wind up on CNN, MSNBC etc. over and over again.

[therealcharismatron]

Double-speak in the GOP: on the one hand they started the birther movement and on the other the birther movement is a Left-wing propaganda tool.

Is it possible that people are actually confused by this?

Yes it is.

[cosmosgato]

Wow!

So an elected republican is afraid to say " I believe Obama was born in the United States."

The GOP is dead.

[sevadaj]

Bachmaann is crazy, she just makes up shit.
