WAY OT: Jon Stewart Takes on Birthers

[Mark Holmes]

Thanks for that. Nice job, Chris Matthews.

And you’re in sad shape when G. Gordon Liddy, convicted Watergate felon, is one of the spokesmen for your cause. I mean, read this fun little excerpt from his Wikipedia entry:

“At CRP and at the behest of John Dean (operating on his own to impress his superior, John Erlichman, unbeknown to Liddy at that time), Liddy concocted several plots, some far-fetched, intended to embarrass the Democratic opposition.[2] These included firebombing the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. in order to sneak into the building as firemen and grab sensitive classified documents leaked by Daniel Ellsberg, kidnapping anti-war protest organizers and transporting them to Mexico during the Republican National Convention (which at the time was planned for San Diego), and luring mid-level Democratic campaign officials to a house boat in Baltimore where they would be secretly photographed in compromising positions with call girls. Most of Liddy’s ideas were rejected by Attorney General John N. Mitchell, but a few were given the go-ahead by Nixon Administration officials, including the break-in at Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office. Ellsberg had leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times.[3] At some point, Liddy was instructed to break into the Democratic National Committee offices in the Watergate Hotel.”

And that, my friends, is one of the most prominent “birthers”.

i don’t even engage with the “birthers” because it doesn’t matter what you hold in front of their face they aren’t going to listen. When you see a copy of his original birth cert, see the birth announcement in the paper, have the Hawaiian Repub Gov say the papers are legit…what else can you do? There is no point.

surely, GOP should have something of more refinement they can bring to challenge Obama.
