Actually, there are two offices in the land, not just one as the AZ Secretary of State claims, that require the holder to be a natural-born citizen. They are President and Vice President.

I'm curious to know why the good people of AZ aren't emailing their Secretary of State to investigate Biden's birth and obtain verification that he was actually born in the US.

Biden is white as the day is long. Obviously he's 'Murcn.

Ken Bennett is one of the most level headed people in politics. He does not crave the limelight or headlines.

The state requires for each election that documents are collected before they are placed on the ballot, as do most states. The State of Hawaii provides a mechanism for this to work. Ken Bennett did more than lob the state of Hawaii a soft ball he teed it up for them. You don't have to send me an original, simply reply to my e-mail that you do have one on file.

The state of Hawaii has not replied

Bennett is doing his job, the state of Hawaii is not doing theirs.

The State of Hawaii charges $100 for honoring requests re: Ombama's birth. Did Bennett pay that fee? Does he have the receipt? Why won't he show us?

MisterRonbo: Will he also be contacting U.S. Robots for Romney's Certificate of Manufacture?

I always figured he was more of a Tyrell Corporation creation.

Bennett has a Canadian girlfriend as well.

I know you are but what am I?

It will be hilarious if Rmoney ends up running with Rubio. The Dems can pick up all the turds the birthers have been flinging, and fling them right back.

I wonder if I'll be alive to see the day when a black man that in no way can be questioned about being a US citizen is running the country. Racists everywhere will be having brain hemorrhages. I guess I have to assume the only reason they are still trying to attack Obama over his birth place is because the conservatives can use anything in his job performance against him and they fear Romney cannot beat Obama straight up? For Heaven sake, Obama's even half white but they can't deal with him anyways. Conservatives/The Birthers are so farked up.

I love how Republicans misread their position in American society. They think if they make some great stand--just like in the movies--against anything, then they're automatically going to have people on their side...and not be made fun of, mocked, or have the President just use this grandstanding to showcase to every other American why the Republicans don't deserve power at all.

You would think that the Republicans would understand how Obama is using them to make himself look better. But they don't, and at this point it's too late to think these sad, pathetic bigots can even fix the problems. The Republicans are now the party of bigots, losers, and assholes. The Democrats just took everything good from their platform and just ran with it.

Is there a procedure for kicking a state out of the union?

Maybe its time to cut all Federal money going to Arizona.

Gyrfalcon: Oh, and in re this:

He said he didn't want another copy of the birth certificate. He wants Hawaii to give him what he described as "a verification in lieu of a certified copy of a birth certificate."

What in the name of holy f*ck would that even BE?

What does he think CERTIFIED means? Doesn't his own office certify copies of Arizona state records to verify their authenticity? Don't Arizona certified documents have an identical legal status as Hawaii certified documents? He's undermining the legitimacy of his own office and government with this nonsense.

We get it...he's WAC!

This is just one of many states in which concerted efforts are being made to prevent President Obama from being on the ballot. Isn't this kind of, you know, treasonous? If the Secretary of State of California or Massachusetts became involved in an attempt to ban the repubs from putting their candidates on the ballot, there'd be hell to pay, and rightly so. This is an attempt to create a one party state within the Union. Are you allowed to do that? Does this justify "Second Amendment remedies" on the part of the disenfranchised?

sigdiamond2000: I'm not normally one for vast conspiracies, but after the events of this week it's pretty hard to believe that there isn't some kind of tactical effort by right-wing Republicans to start pushing the birther angle again.

Do it, Republicans. There is no way the Birther angle can possibly fail



Problem, reality-based community?

Corporate Self: Is there a procedure for kicking a state out of the union?

It's an Act of Congress to make a state part of the Union, so I guess theoretically Congress could simply repeal that Act...

He should just get a scrap of paper that says "full faith and credit clause, b*tch"

I can't find an image with enough facepalms.


The article is an absolute lie. I listened to the interview live on the radio on my way home yesterday. Several of the things in the article are absolute fabrications, reaches and outright untruths.

Then it should be trivial for you to provide evidence debunking the article.

The problem is that it was AM radio.

Makes sense.

-By doing this, he stirs up the birfers.

-If he gets what he wants, he scores points among the birfers and other Fark Independent™ types for having made Fartbongo and the libtards dance to his tune.

-If he gets the hammer brought down and told to stop his shenanigans by the feds he stirs up the States' Rights wingnuts.

-And in the 1 in a million chance he succeeds? He locks down Arizona, which thanks to Romney's John Kerryesque stature is currently in play.

It's just like Ahmadinejad when he loudly announced they were going to start working on nuclear power. There's very little likelihood of it NOT paying off, because the people he's playing it for are dumb. Funny how often the Republicans take their queues from terrorist shiatheads.

"Thank god for Arizona"

Sorry late to the party as always but am I the only person that is baffled by this "he has to be born IN the US to be a natural born citizen!" garbage? It was always my understanding that if your parents were citizens you are automatically a citizen by birth right, thus being "natural born".

By birther logic our Lord and Saviour™ Tim Tebow can't be president because he was born in the Philippines.

I should probably just give up trying to apply logic and reason to the birther movement.

To quote another unknown Farker, Arizona may be stupid but it's a dry stupid.

hubiestubert: I still have friends in AZ.

I keep trying to get them to come out East.

THIS IS WHERE WE KEEP THE HISTORY.

It's cute that you Americans think you have "history."

Half-white is still black. Hell they used to have terminology for degrees of white ancestry and the rule was still, "one drop of ni-BONG blood is all it takes."

Some old racial terms for mixed ancestry, because I find it interesting in a historical sense.

AdolfOliverPanties: I have to go to Phoenix in a couple weeks on business. Joy.

Insist that your employer chip in some hardship pay, just as if you were Dilbert being sent off to Elbonia.

HawgWild: FTFA: Bennett said he was following the lead of the state's eccentric Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a fellow Republican who ordered an investigation into the president's birth certificate last year and concluded the document released by the White House is a forgery.

So ... the Secretary of State is following the lead of a county sheriff?

No, he's following the lead of the Warlord of Arizona. Any Republican officeholder there ignores Sheriff Joe at his political peril.

Short answer: They don't care, they just hate Obama.

Long answer: They have a long, long, LONG list of increasingly complex and always-wrong explanations for how Obama's parents COULD, in some realm of vague possibility, not be a citizen. Everything from when certain laws were passed to where Stanley Ann Dunham lived during certain periods to when Hawaii became a state to made-up lies about her renouncing her citizenship either consciously or de facto by marrying a ni-BONG Muslim from muslimia.

It's not about truth, it's about hate.

Lucrat: I should probably just give up trying to apply logic and reason to the birther movement.

The only reason this thing exists at all is because you can't have somebody impeached/ removed from office/ invalidated/ whatever simply for being a black democrat. Everything else is just a bizarre pantomime of bullshiat, excuses, deflections and necessarily spurious reasoning.

That's the logic of it, and it's sound enough.

UCFRoadWarrior: Love reading all the Liberal ButtHurt over the Birther issue

Amazed how many people have never gotten a passport, registered a kid for sports, registered yourself for certain things, (now) not getting a driver license, or a myriad of other things that require a Birth Cert

You need a Birth Certificate for those

But, hey, these are the same people that think Trayvon Martin is a 12 yr old virgin

The thing is, the birth certificate and public image of it have been circulating for years now, and they still won't get off the topic. I'm fine with the candidates having to submit a copy of their birth certificates (once)... but continuing to cry about it after you have the certified copy of the birth certificate is just being a dick.

what_now: In the weeks since then, Bennett said, Hawaii officials have forced him to provide proof that he is who he says he is.

hahhahahahahhahahahhahaha!!

Hawaii should keep saying they aren't 100% clear on his identity, so they won't consider his request.

They should say they think the proof of identity he offered might be faked.

There is simply no evidence birthers will accept at this point. Or, let's be honest, ever.

Well, the AZ State Code is pretty obviously photoshopped. But of course you knew that, everybody does.

Totally. How can Hawaii be expected to know for sure who he is when he offers such transparently forged proof of ID? Can he even proof he's a citizen?

Why are they doing this? Who are they pandering too? Are Arizonians that farking stupid? Or are they just creating a circus in order to avoid the real issues that need to be addressed, such as shiatty infrastructure and employment opportunities?

I have a feeling the Republican establishment is rehashing this and the Jeremiah Wright crap to drive voters away from the Republicans because they want Romney to lose this election so badly that another non white, non traditional protestant ever has a chance of getting the Republican nomination again.

Jekylman: Because Florida political figures are so sane and sincere

Of course not....but they sure as fark are compared to Arizona's. Honestly, there hasn't been such a run of insanity at the state level in a long time such as the one you see in Arizona.

Frankly there's no state in the Union that has come quite so unhinged. Worse, the trend there shows absolutely no sign of abating.

I still don't get it... He came from a Kansas cooter. It doesn't matter what batter was spattered. His Mom was from Kansas, he could've been born on the Moon and still been president LOL.
