Birther Caucus now? They are soooooooooo fucking stupid or crazy.

FiredUp refers to Birther Caucus, as Tim Jones was one of Orly's plaintiffs, and there have been a few other Missouri legislator-birthers.

Congresswoman Hartzler said enough that birthers know she is aware of one or more of their claims. Hartzler then said enough to let everyone else in the room know she wouldn't be wasting any time on any of them.

Hartzler is just playing birthers for the fools they are. I wouldn't be surprised to read a birther claim look who is on their side now and completely miss the "irrelevant" comment Hartzler made.

I seem to recall a Youtube video with a California congressman tap dancing on the same issue not long ago.

That was Stearns from Florida

The congressman I was thinking about was Dan Lungren. The linked video is from a town hall meeting Aug 24, 2011. At that meeting Lungren told the crowd he has "profound" differences with the President that he believes need to be among his priorities.

I was wrong about Lungren pandering to the birther(s) in the audience. Unlike Hartzler, he told the crowd Pres Obama was legitimately elected and didn't even attempt to allow the birthers to believe he would adopt their claims.

The Hill has an article on it and as usual the Birthers are dispaying their stupidity, big time.

Dont you notice the number inflation going on. there used to be 5 experts, but now in those they are saying 15 experts have said its a forgey. How long before they get up to 3 million?!?!?!

I thought it was 20 some time ago.

Of course, in reality it's 0 experts.

Since the Posse named zero, and showed the credentials and certifications of none, why not claim an insanely high number? Five hundred experts! All of whom are ready to testify in a court of law but none of whom are willing to go on the record with as much as their name before then.

I thought Zebest was their only or at least only named expert. Didn't she publish her report before the investigation began?

*Birther trial day" Expert testimony.

"Yessir Mr Apussy, that darn Niiigerian's BC is a froaud,and my Mommy possessed on o my Ducks to tell me, and she told me to TELL THE WORLD in a court of law."

You'd think that they'd want to have 10 000 experts. I mean after all (among other things), the Great Usurper assassinated Andrew Breitbart, and murdered a key Clinton adviser and threatened Chelsea to ensure the cooperation of Bill and Hillary (and you know how many comptrollers THEY buried alive). According to Dr. K(h)ate and Butterdezillion the NWO is causing tornadoes in Dallas to distract from Sheriff Joe. If I had signed a notarized daffydavit proclaiming that I downloaded the President's LFBC in PDF format and thought that Quartz is some sort of Adobe product, I'd be checking my emissions hose clamps regularly.

a birther on the comment thread just claimed that there are 110 lawyers working with Arpaio that "have doubts" as well.

Politico: Rep. Vicky Hartzler moves off birther comments



Not exactly a strong denunciation, especially in light of the precise comments that she made last week, but the fact that her press secretary tried to create distance again demonstrates just how seriously Birtherism is taken inside of politics.

This I think is one of those moments where politicians forget that in this 2012 information age everything is going to be remembered.

It wasn't long ago where a politician really could give a wink wink nod nod to a constituency and act with reasonable belief that others weren't ever going to find out about it. She made those comments and lets be honest, she meant every one of them at the time...then it made news and she had to back off, at least a little.

Of course, if she was honest, she would have answered that her constituents are wrong in this instance. The fact that some of them say he wasn't born in the US doesn't mean she has to pander to them. If a number of them asked her about UFO rumors she wouldn't say "Well I guess I have to believe in UFOs now."

MotherJones has classified her a 'Slacker Birther'.

The link to Serwer's Birther Lexicon from last year:

I respectfully disagree. I believe Congresswoman Hartzler is just stringing the birthers along (and doing a very good job at it). She may be a freshman congress critter but she appears to have studied former Missouri 7th District Congressman (and now Senator) Roy Blunt well.

I don't mean she meant them at the time as necessarily "She believed what she said." I mean that she absolutely meant to speak those birther lines as a deliberate action to let them know she was "One of them". I absolutely agree that most politicians these days that talk about birtherism aren't doing it because they believe it (although there are likely a few), but rather because they think it gives them some sort of political advantage.

I'm surprised birthers fall for it - I mean they went absolutely gaga over Rep. Allan West, who flaunted with birtherism during his campaign, then dropped it with a thud as soon as he got into office.

Much like Sheriff Arpaio, when a politician, sheriff, etc. starts talking birther and says "Someone ought to do something!", but they don't, actually, try and do anything, you know they're just playing the birthers, because unlike the birther massesminimuses, they're in a position where they COULD do something if they wanted to, but don't.
