Texas Rep. Leo Berman Not Satisfied Obama Released Real Birth Certificate

Texas State Representative Leo Berman, who believes Sharia law rules Dearborn, and that President Obama is God’s punishment, believes it’s possible the president “pulled the greatest swindle, the greatest hoax, in the history of the United States.”

Berman, who has filed a “birther” bill this session that would force future presidential and vice presidential candidates to show their birth certificate in order to get on the Texas ballot, said he’s got several key questions with Obama’s birth certificate: Why did it take the president so long, amid a conservative firestorm, to release it? Why does it …

Historian Doug Brinkley To NBC: Dump Trump

Historian Doug Brinkley said on CNN Donald Trump is “a poison toad on the airwaves” and that NBC should dump him. He adds that any company willing to sponsor him should face a consumer boycott.

We don’t have to blame “the media” for dealing with this issue. We have to blame NBC Entertainment. They need to dump Trump from his primetime news show. He’s a poison toad on the airwaves. What corporate sponsor is going to be buying ad time for Donald Trump’s show. Any company that goes into Trump and is willing to pay is going to find …

Birther Jerome Corsi: “Obama Blinked”; Claims Presidency Won’t Survive His New Book

Jerome Corsi, who has two previous Obama-hating books, is trying to find a way to keep his new book about the president’s birth certificate relevant. Corsi, promoted by the kooky World Net Daily, claims the book delegitimizes Obama so badly that his presidency won’t survive.

Suggesting that Obama’s presidency will not survive the revelations contained in his book – which goes beyond the birth certificate controversy to definitively document the multiple legal problems with Obama being a U.S. president – Corsi said, simply, “When people read the book, they will see that Obama is not eligible to be president.”

Corsi …

Sarah Palin Mocks Katie Couric For Leaving CBS

Taking the low road, and obviously bitter about her interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin decided to mock the CBS anchor upon the announcement of her departure.

Appearing on Fox News Tuesday, Palin mocked the CBS newswoman who told People Magazine she is looking forward to a new position that will facilitate “multi-dimensional storytelling.” “Yeah, and I hear that she wants to now engage in more ‘multi-dimensional story telling’ versus I guess just the ‘straight on, read into the, that teleprompter screen story telling,’” Palin said. “More power to her. I wish her well in her – ‘multi-dimensional story telling.’”…

For funny fake news, I turn to The Onion. Here are the headlines from a few hours ago:

President Obama Releases Long-Form Birth Certificate

Hilarious!

Obama Graduates Harvard With Honors, But Pat Buchanan Says That Was Only Because He’s Black

Great Satire!

Limbaugh Attacks Boehner For Not Selling Out Enough To Big Oil

This one is my favorite! It’s so funny I can cry. You can almost here Rush saying such a thing.

Wait. He actually said such a thing? Damn. I’ve been reading Alan.com, …

Liberal Talk Show Host Arrested At Allen West Town Hall Meeting

by DCdebbie

Last night, at a town hall in Fort Lauderdale hosted by Allen “Women-Neuter-American-Men” West, progressive radio talk show host Nicole Sandler asked a question. Then she tried to ask a follow up question. That led to her being arrested and handcuffed.  As she was escorted out, she tried to ask the police officer for his name and badge number. No response. She asked him to stop touching her as she was leaving. No Response. She explained to the officer, “I’m a constituent of Congressman West, and I came to a town hall meeting where I thought you’re …

Trump Wants Us To Buy Less “Crap” From China; Like His Clothing Line?

While bashing China and telling Americans he’d put a 25% tariff on good from there, Donald Trump hasn’t mentioned that his clothing line is made there. He did tell Fox News’s Neil Cavuto last year that products made there are “crap.”

TRUMP: I have to tell you, I did, because you know what? They [America] actually make a much better product. I mean, the product is 100 percent better. The product, the stuff that’s been sent over from China is — it falls apart after a year and a half. It’s crap.

Trump has, many times, urged Americans …

Now Trump Says It’s Time For Obama “To Get Off His Basketball Court”

After declaring victory in the birther debate (Where are his investigators, by the way? Were they wrong?), Donald Trump admonishes it’s time for President Obama “to get off his basketball court” and take care of oil prices. Of course, we can naturally assume that the president is ignoring important issues because he’s suited up to shoot hoops all day right?

TRUMP: If you look at what he’s doing in Libya, which is a total disaster. Nobody even knows what’s going on in Libya. If you look at what’s happening with gasoline prices where he said he has no control …

Rep. Eric Cantor Criticizes Obama For Releasing Birth Certificate

To many Republicans, the president can do no right. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was on Fox News this morning when word broke that the long-form birth certificate, long-sought by the birthers, would be released by the White House. But rather than respond with glee, Cantor criticized the president for releasing the document. He’ll have to answer to the GOP/Birther Party for that one.

The Defense Department Gets It

by Stuart Shapiro

When it comes to progressive thinking, the Pentagon is not the first place people think of (although at times in our history, as with integration, they have been ahead of society at large).  A recent report, penned by two senior members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and clearly supported by the top brass, argued that from a strategic perspective we were over-investing in defense and under-investing elsewhere (h/t Foreign Policy).

By investing energy, talent, and dollars now in the education and training of young Americans — the scientists, statesmen, industrialists, farmers, inventors, educators, clergy, …
