School children in the future will look back on this period of American history and wonder (as many of us do today) how the hell a bigoted, small-minded, xenophobic jackass like Steve King ever found himself to be an elected official in this country.

So while the news media, and most specifically George Will, remains baffled about the cost-benefit of Romney’s continued association with Birther Trump, the answer lies in Mitt Romney’s overall strategy to advance beyond the fringe birther vote. Romney now plays on an age-old and festering sore that has plagued America for centuries. It is the reason why he continues to fundraise with Trump; the reason why he still refuses to renounce his Arizona campaign chair. It is the reason for the carefully coded language of his correspondence.

We're not saying that we buy into the whole "wifer" issue, but we think Mittens should have to show his marriage certificate (short and long forms) to prove that his worldview hasn't been shaped by the blood of a nomadic polygamist tribesman (Grandpa Romney who fled to Mexico to start a polygamist colony)...

By DAVID MERCER

CHAMPAIGN…When a man with a video camera at a tea party protest asked Champaign Mayor Jerry Schweighart what he thought of President Barack Obama, the three-term Republican didn’t hesitate.
VIDEO…Champaign, Illinois Mayor Jerry Schweighart On Pres. Obama “I Don’t Think He’s American”
“I don’t think he’s American, personally,” the third-term Republican mayor said Thursday in a video that’s been posted on YouTube. “You know, if you’re not willing to produce an original certificate like a birth certificate, then you’ve got something to hide.”Champaign mayor on Obama: “I don’t think he’s American …... more

Sarah Palin declared on Thursday that the legitimacy of President Obama's birth certificate is "rightfully" an issue with the American public, and that it is "fair game" for politicians to question Obama's citizenship.
The comments came during an interview with conservative radio host Rusty Humphries, who asked Palin whether she planned to "make the birth certificate an issue" if she runs for president in 2012.
"I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue," Palin said. "I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members of the electorate still want answers."
Humphries -- who began the interview with a rendition of the song "Sarah, Queen Of The Wild Frontier" -- followed up: "Do you think it's a fair question to be looking at?"
"I think it's a fair question just like I think past associations and past voting records. All of that is fair game," Palin responded, adding that "the McCain-Palin campaign didn't do a good enough job in that area. We didn't call out Obama and some of his associates on their records and what their beliefs were, and perhaps what their future plans were, and I don't think that was fair to voters to not have done our job as candidates and a campaign to bring to light a lot of things that now we're seeing manifest in the administration."
Palin later referenced "that weird conspiracy theory freaky thing that people talk about that Trig isn't my real son, and a lot of people that went 'Well, you need to produce his birth certificate, you need to prove that he's your kid,' which we have done, but yeah, so maybe we can reverse that, and use the same [inaudible] thinking on the other one."
WATCH:
FactCheck.org has done the most comprehensive debunking of the various conspiracy theories related to Obama's citizenship. Here is their bottom line:
In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake."
We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.

When Obama became president people thought all comedy had beenen ensued during the last eight years would go away but the republicans proved us wrong this year.
On ""Real Time" Friday night, Bill Maher decided to end his show by mocking all the Republicans who have become prime targets for jokes now that George Bush is no longer front and center. "It turns out there were plenty of ridiculous Republicans behind him that we just couldn't see," Maher said. "His stupid star doth shone too brightly."

Enough is enough! The time has come to "take off the gloves" and reveal the true motivations of Orly Taitz, the so-called "Queen of the Birther Movement" that bullheadedly insists President Obama is not a U.S. citizen and is holding the presidency illegally -- despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. That, unfortunately, has made it necessary to once and for all expose Taitz for what she is: A rabid Islamophobe who stubbornly clings to the false belief that the president is a Muslim and considers him a "dangerous threat" to Israel . . .Enough is enough!
