are people still running that map of unpopulated areas in America???? for what purpose?

don't let it die --- keep up this insane conspiracy theory -- just because some ol gnarly taetzed broad used a Crayola Brand Forgery Kit, it doesn't mean that Lou Dobbs and Joe Scarbroad are wrong!!!!

the POTUS needs no Congress in order to destroy the world -- Sarah Palin would not go down in history as anything if she destroyed humanity's ability to record history

I don't see a source for your quote --- where did it come from? as far as details --- what details would be needed to prove a baby had been born? your suggestion makes not a whit of sense

this fishing expedition turned into a big ugly cruise through an ocean of nonsense, right there at the beginning the birthers are nothing if not pathetic nut-cases

who says there is a, "redacted version"

I don't see where he says it's anything different than what's been released --- he has seen the record, as stored by the State of Hawai'i --- where does it say it is a paper document or is different than what has been released??? When conspiracists find they are at odds with reality, as they often are, they point to solid evidence of blank spaces which they have filled in themselves.

I don't believe this doctor exists -- can you show some reference to him? -- does he have say, a name? he WAS issued a real birth certificate --- it has been displayed and the nut cases have done their best to dismiss it -- that's what this story is all about -- moreover, all the birthers have to offer is a paranoid delusion --- I'm still waiting for one of you to explain the difference between: a) a certificate of live birth -- and a birth certificate I mean, sure it's a giggle a minute but shouldn't these conspiracy theories have at least an inkling of reality to them, somewhere????

Yes, keep it up; this is exactly the position I hope the, 'Birthers,' maintain for the next seven years - rotflmao

every politician in America yearns to have a campaign where an opposition group wants to say he wasn't born in America -- is this a Republican issue or both party issue?? well, actually, it's a neither party issue - that is, neither party nor any representative on behalf of either party has even an official position on this beyond the obvious, "Barack Obama, having past all requirements and having won sufficient votes from the Electoral College, is the President of the United States." neither party cares about this, only racists and closet cases consider this matter anything but a humorous footnote for history. Is it a birth ceritificate or certificate of live birth??? does anyone take that as a serious question??? are you guys putting that up for a laugh? is there someone who seriously doesn't know they are the same thing???? I used to have three of those documents in a drawer at home--- given to me by the State of Hawaii for my kids who were born there - my daughter recently used hers to get a passport - but, I would love to have this birthers group continue on all the way through the Obama administration - I'm sure it will get me to giggle everytime a slow news day finds one of those clowns pulling a successful publicity stunt

your foul insult is just that far off base -- his rating, prior to 9/11 was hovering at 50% http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/6038436.stm http://politicalarithmetik.blogspot.com/20...-bush-2001.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gallup_P...orge_W_Bush.png and, apparently, you didn't even read your own source -- http://articles.latimes.com/2003/oct/02/na...na-tumble2?pg=2 which says the same thing

the US economy entered a, 'Depression,' last October -- Obama is doing as well as any human could possibly do in the first 5 months on the job the rest of this diatribe is nothing but right wing jingoistic buck-passing

the unfortunate truth of this incident is: this time, 'pedophilia,' is in the eye of the beholder --- if someone wants to twist a joke around, it is their own doing, not, in this case, David Letterman's

The current batch of right wing Republicans, is nothing if not a bunch of buck passers --- blame Clinton for everything, excuse the crimes of Bush/Cheney in any way possible -- it is a world view totally separate from reality

well, one of her main advisors is her husband--- a man who advocated Alaskan secession from the union - nuff sed???

I listened to the joke the first time, NO, he was not referring to a child but to an unwed mother the fury that launched from the Palin camp was the lie in this matter and no, not a single, "Media figure," has advanced a career at the expense of Palin --- the opposite, unfortunately, cannot be said

prior to 9/11 - Bush's ratings were in the toilet - there's nothing like an attack on American soil to rally the country behind the president -- we were all hopeful, immediately after 9/11, that Bush would be inspired to do what was right for America --- it took a while for Americans to realize, Bush produced just the exact opposite of what Americans hoped for

well, no, actually that's not true

can you rephrase your question? There doesn't seem to be any particular cogent expression of concern

Bush spoke loudly, brashly and with an embarassing ignorance of history, geography, anthropology and US/International law. He didn't know who Shi'ites or Sunnis are - he couldn't find a middle-east country on a wall map without an aide guiding his finger America rejected the failed Bush policies in a moment of clarity --- it was our only option for saving our country and maybe the world --- now we have people worried about Obama's ear size?? I mean, I've heard of racism - but what is this, 'songism,' crud?

it is a real glimpse inside the mind of the right wing extremist --- take a harmless (if stupid) joke and rail on and on about, not the joke, but a straw man joke never spoken by Letterman --- accusing Letterman of being a pedophile is, imo, an effort to shut up all other comedians -- because Sarah Palin has never been able to pass the giggle test and a bunch of comedians, using her for a punch line, could reduce her to a passed by politician of no consequence -- a position she deserves but is desperate to deny and the best defense is a quick offense - according to the Palin camp

I like the fact that the question is not about being a good governor nor about being an honest politician nor about leadership nor justice ----- is Palin better at what she does? yes, but Hitler got much better at what Sarah Palin does - a couple years before his death

it was the Bush policy that saw the North Koreans build a dozen nukes and the Iranians add hundreds of centrifuges --- the bad state of the world wide nuclear arms race is due, totally and quite simply to the failed sabre rattling foreign policies of GW Bush Obama has a lot of work ahead of him but he has NOT yet FAILED in ANY area --- all real Americans support the president's efforts --- but gnats will buzz around and cause annoyance because it is all they know to do

Obama's approval rating would have to slip by 60% before it reaches the ratings of all the top Republicans put together --- it is an interesting irony that the most vociferous of Obama's attackers are also, according to the American public, the lowest rated or worst politicians/pundits
