Just for the hell of it, I've been arguing w/some Birthers over on the YouTube comments. My God, there's some grade-A stupid on there. They're worse than the Truthers.

I know arguing w/them is pointless, but it's an amusing time-waster.

Kenyan pleas?

Greening something like this is like getting all set with the finest tackle to go fish in a tank at the pet store.

Seriously, this is entertainment ?

Is this supposed to be anything else?

I think we should all have "titles" that rhyme with our first names like that, St_Francis_P.

I would think the dismissals of the court cases as "unreasonable" and "frivolous" would have some merit with these assclowns, but I guess not.

It's a fake.

I can tell, because you can't measure the length of a baby three days after birth, because they're still too curled up.

From the article -

"If Obama decides to grace Nigeria with his presence, I will stone him," Nigerian Nobel prize-winning writer Wole Soyinka was quoted by Nigerian newspapers as saying.

Niger please.

Not only that, but they're still growing, so you're gonna get inaccurate results.

His grandma said he was born in Kenya and mysteriously died less than a week before the election?

DUN DUN DUN

This is a question I've been bothered by for for about 7 years now. If a person from Nigeria is a Nigerian, what's a person from Niger called?

The Birthers are my favorite conspiracy theory.

Unlike the Truthers, they aren't pissing all over the remembrance of a sad national tragedy.

Unlike the vaccine-autism people, they aren't causing actual harm to other people.

The Birthers are just endlessly entertaining, and the only damage the do is to their own credibility, and that of anyone on the right who associates with them and their views. I hope that they keep at this fixation for all of Obama's two terms. Rather than, you know, coming up with effective electoral strategies to regain political power.

I don't blame him, I wouldn't want to visit that place either.

So he's not even going to stop and visit his brother in his dirt floor shack.

Yeah... they could start with a movie based on that AOL "You've got mail" guy.

I don't know if you're looking for a serious answer or a racist joke answer, but I was wondering that as well recently for some reason. According to the wikipedia, the correct answer is Nigerien or Nigerois.

I prefer the Apollo Moon landing conspiracy, but the top secret birth certificate conspiracy is pretty good too.

He was born during his own trip to Africa. That is confusing.

FTA: The first black U.S. president is keen to hold Ghana up as a democratic model for Africa, where polls are too often marred by vote-rigging and violence, denting the pride of states which consider themselves equally important and worthy of a visit.

They have ACORN in Ghana?

the whole "natural born citizen" thing is only there so that the newly formed United States, back in the late 18th century, wouldn't be taken over by British nobility via elections (sortof an anti-democratic measure, don't ya think?). It is so completely far from relevant in the year 2009 that I sincerely wonder WHY THE FARK PEOPLE THINK IT MATTERS WHERE HE WAS BORN.

No wonder that's what they're, Niger was under French control.
