Ok, ok. Yes the president was born in Hawaii, but, he was an illegitimate child born to a con-man!
Really.
Conservative activist Pam Geller now believes she has insight into the intimate details of President Barack Obama's parents' marriage.
The anti-Muslim Geller took up the cause of birtherism in a recent World Net Daily article where she claimed Obama was an illegitimate president because he was also an illegitimate child. [...]
"Stanley Ann Dunham was a white girl in a family way with a mixed-race child, desperate for legitimacy in a culture that condemned such behavior as abject immorality, and Barack Obama Sr. was a con man from Kenya desperate to stay in the USA," she wrote. "Was the marriage merely a business arrangement (she was 17 when she got pregnant)? Is that why it was so important to place the ads in the Hawaiian papers announcing the birth of the future president -- because his father was about to be deported?"
Geller continued: "Stanley Ann Dunham could not have been so savvy as to know that BHO I was a Muslim polygamist. Yet clearly, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., was never divorced from his first wife in Kenya."
"That would make the president illegitimate," she declared. "In 1787, illegitimate children had different rights. There is no way the founders of this great nation intended for an illegitimate child of a foreign bigamist to attain the highest, most powerful position in the new land."
It's amazing the great lengths that some people will go to in order to avoid simply writing an epic run-on sentence of racial slurs.
Here we have a columnist for a popular wingnut website saying President Obama's biological father was a Muslim, polygamist, con-man who produced an illegitimate child just to stay in the country. In a sane country, writing something like that would be grounds for firing and public shaming, but in this country, it may very well become a topic for debate.
Taking wild theories like the one presented above into account, does anyone really believe releasing photos of a dead Bin Laden would convince anyone who is just going to believe whatever it is they want to believe anyway?
The fact that the president released the long-form version of his birth certificate already painted the United States in an unsavory light abroad while doing nothing to convince the rabid, racist lunatics who walk among us. How would photos of a dead Bin Laden be any different?
It would be easy for President Obama to simply release the photos and ignore the ethical dilemmas and repercussions in doing so, but thankfully this president is not known for simply taking the easy way out.
