Birthers: Beyond Obama’s Deep Pockets

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?

    What shall we call this group of loonies: the "penisers?"
  • DLS
    The obscession needs to be boosted in volume and shrillness. The health care effort continues to falter.
  • roro80
    It seems that the right has an unhealthy obsession with Democratic presidents' penises. Panty Sniffers.
  • PWT
    Obviously, this group of loonies should be called: the "Dick heads"
  • Father_Time
    Stupid Republicans. They would argue with a brick wall for not getting out of the way.
  • Davebo
    Cute, but in the end it's really just nutpicking.
  • tidbits
    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 ?. . . .
  • CStanley
    Let's just hope this doesn't end up in another inspection of dangling chads in questioning the legitimacy of a presidential election.
  • DLS
    "Democrats -- the party of shorter, smaller hanging chads." -- Karl Rove
  • DLS
    "Democrats, or Marxists, but I repeat myself [snicker, pause] ... have no chads! HA HA HA HA [snort]"

    -- Glenn Beck
  • DLS
    "Hanging chad envy, my friends!" -- Rush Limbaugh.

    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.

    OK. If the birthers are the tinfoil hat brigade these whackos are the...?

    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?
  • Leonidas
    Right up there with the Trig Palin birth mother silliness.
  • StockBoySF
    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.....

    I thought I'd check online and here's this:

    I particularly like the last sentence in the next to the last paragraph (the last sentence in the paragraph that begins, "In 1992....".

    What would it mean in Kenya (and perhaps other areas of Africa) if Obama was uncircumcised?

    Wouldn't Joe Biden be more convienient :)

    Or maybe Andrew Sullivan, head of the Trig Palin conspiracy theorists (who at one time I had great respect for until he dove into tabloid politics).
  • StockBoySF
    Leonidas... I think you missed my double entendre of Larry having a really big mouth. :) So no, Joe wouldn't be more convenient.... or knowledgeable.
  • Leonidas
    Stockboy... I think I didn't =P
  • dunno_moire
    The Trig Palin conspiracy is more apparently hate-filled but analogous just the same.
  • Jim_Satterfield
    Of course not, Steve. They're the tinfoil condom brigade. The little head must be protected too.
