It you’re unhappy with the info and facts presented so far on President Barack Obama being born in the United States, why not start a new debate about…his foreskin?
A movement is born. Deport all uncircumsized males who do not have naturalization papers.
Question: Would they be satisfied with seeing whether there is foreskin, or will they demand to see the "long form"?
What to call them: "the dangling dolts" comes to mind...but I like "dick heads" or "panty sniffers".

This thread is giving me the willies.

Is this circumspection gone south?. . . or would this circumstantial evidence be permissible ?. . . .

Let's just hope this doesn't end up in another inspection of dangling chads in questioning the legitimacy of a presidential election.

You guys! so fast and funny! I am laughing my way through your comments. "the penisers" indeed. birthers, truthers, deathers, penisers. No no dont say it, I know, I know, the feminine has been left out. That's good. Allow it to be left out. Geez, Ionesco would be so pleased.

It's "circumcision" not "circumspection", and if not done "south" it's usually ineffective. :-)
EDIT: It's sure nice laughing with all of you for a change... maybe an occasional 'open thread' might allow us to see the other side of one other.

The Tin Cup brigade? (apologies to Kevin Costner and Rene Russo)

Me thinks the foreskin debate is an example of 'ASTRO-SURF' - an item pulled from the fringes of the internet realm that's been branded legitimate by a media struggling to prove its own legitimacy in the face of same said internet.
Really people...we could find an endless number of insane debates on the internet. For instance, there are people discussing whether Obama is an alien or one of the 'Annunaki' but would we think it worthwhile to comment on such outrageous speculation?

Right up there with the Trig Palin birth mother silliness.

Just ask Larry Sinclair about Obama's endowments. Larry has a really big mouth. :)

I remember years ago when Alex Haley's, "Roots" came out... I remember that the male kids were circumcised.....
