An Actual Right Wing Headline: ‘Obama Turned 53 — Or Did He?’
The birther conspiracy website WorldNetDaily is questioning President Obama’s birth year, too. The title of a post reads, “Obama Turned 53 — Or Did He?” Because we all know what a tricky trickster Obama is. Also, he’s black.
Ian Millhiser tweeted the image, because he’s obviously from Kenya, too.
This is an actual headline that was published, without irony, on an anti-Obama “news” site: pic.twitter.com/Y47hvBOSWs — Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) August 7, 2014
WND columnist Jack Cashill writes that Obama is not telling the truth about not only his birth place, but also about the year he was born.
The writer preposterously refers to a 2007 speech given by Obama delivered in Selma, Alabama, about how his “existence might not have been possible had it not been for some of the folks here today.”
You see, no one could have had an impact on Obama’s life just a few years after he was born, according to the author. Or ever really. Did I mention that Obama is black? That means that Republicans who tout patriotism because the Founding Fathers impacted their lives so deeply are all full of sh*t.
Right Wing Watch reports:
Obama was born in 1961, while the Selma to Montgomery march occurred in 1965. Of course, Obama’s remarks clearly referred to the progress of the Civil Rights Movement in general, but Cashill interprets his words literally to suggest that Obama inadvertently admitted that his birth certificate is phony.
The author writers, “According to his birth certificate, Obama was born in 1961, four years before anyone outside of Alabama ever heard of the town.”
That settles it. Obama. is. a. usurper.
And for any of you born after 1968, Martin Luther King Jr., could not have had a profound influence of your life. Suck it up.

It is getting to the point where referring to the birthers as idiots, fools, and bigots would constitute an insult of the highest order to actual idiots, fools, and bigots.

well except for the fact that birthers ARE actual idiots fools and bigots heh

Like when I mentioned the impact that Nirvana had on rock music, that means I was born AFTER Nirvana was a thing, as it’s impossible for one to understand the impact things have on the world unless one is born AFTER it happened.

Ha ha! Lawrence O’Donnell: ‘What about the birth certificate that you say you’ve never seen before? Was he born in Hawaii?’
Grifter Taitz: ‘…Ahh ughh… But the Selective Service form… His social security number…’
Lawrence O’Donnell:’Sorry I thought she’d address the birth certificate.’ “You’re Fired! Go play with Donald trump!”

I knew where Selma was when I was kid because my mom was raised on a farm there. My parents would take my siblings and I to Selma and other places in AL every summer on two week vacations. As a kid, I not only knew where Selma was, I knew where Birmingham, Fairfield, Montgomery, Mobile, Brent, Tuscaloosa, and other places were in AL. Just because Cahill claims no one had heard of Selma before the Selma to Montgomery March occurred is more indicative of his ignorance than the ignorance of others.

He’s an extreme fringe right wing white guy. He doesn’t want to know where Selma is or what it represents.

What are we going to do about the “dumbing down” of America. These radicals are dangerously ignorant!

Don’t forget, this president also rode the train from Illinois to Washington DC just like another person who “supposedly” had a profound impact on him – Abraham Lincoln who was sworn in as president in 1861. Now, either Obama is 153 years old (in which case, he ages extremely well) or Lincoln could not have had a profound impact on him.
So which is it, Nobama? Did Lincoln really have an impact on you? If so, let me see your birth certificate from the 1800’s. Make sure it’s the REAL DEAL. I won’t accept any of these short Kenyan forms that were most likely witnessed by the Muslim Brotherhood!
