Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona is bound and determined to make sure we never forget the embarrassment of the birther movement. Most of us would love to put that ugly little racist blip in our history -- a time when conspiracy theorists and fools alike accused President Barack Obama of not being American. But Arpaio, a sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona, just won't give it up.
Can we say beating a dead horse, people? Sometimes it seems like certain politicians just do things to help out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher. After all, how else does anyone explain Arpaio's inane and insane assertion that Obama, a man who produced his birth certificate last year, isn't American?
See his ranting [here].
"Forgery or fraud may have been committed," says Arpaio. Ooooh no! Are ghosts and goblins real, too, Sheriff Arpaio? How about the Loch Ness Monster? Do you go visit old Nessie on your days off from enforcing the laws of Arizona?
In all seriousness, this is vile racism plain and simple. In a place like Arizona, it's no surprise -- after all, many politicians there (including Arpaio) hold rather Draconian views on immigration -- and it's disgusting. And it's getting old fast.
For all you doubters for whom book learning was apparently a challenge, here are the facts: President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. He has produced both a certificate of live birth during the 2008 campaign and the long-form certificate last year. Neither has been disproved.
So why is this still going on? Arpaio seems like a joke, but, according to Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney doesn't think so. Yesterday LaBolt tweeted:
Romney has called Arpaio for his endorsement, his aides called "weekly" and Arpaio was his honorary Chair in 08.That's embarrassing. The fact is, most people agree Arpaio is a few cards shy of a full deck, but here we are still talking about him. Is this an alternate universe? Why am I guessing this guy is the type of person who stays at parties hours after they have ended asking for more chips and guacamole? Dude, the party is over, the ship has sailed, and you are beating a dead horse.
Sadly, there aren't enough cliched ways to say IT'S OVER to make it any clearer to this guy.
I'll drink to that!
Then I agree with you.
This goes on for the entire month of March on this thread? What's the "drink" word? "Authenticity"? Or, is it "bus"?
Something a little more subtle than that; a double adjective, especially delivered in a sing-songy voice, as was done when Dorothy landed in Oz.
"Not only merely dead, but really most sincerely dead!"
As in, for example, some fluke who presents her case, and then throws herself on the mercy of her courtship.
"We represent the Prophylactic Guild, the Prophylactic Guild, the Prophylactic Guild, ..." Well, okay, it needs work.
But, it's enough to put a beer in my hand.
Oops it’s Stanley, not Sydney but the point is still the same. Also Stanley had not lived in the US for the 14 years required by the laws of our land
I are off to bed... see you in the morning. I hope.
I guess I meant to say adverb.
*Sips beer*
I’m sure I had something in mind.
Did you know that homelies and homilies are not the same thing?
*Sips beer*
I are off to Pennsylvania in the morning. You'll have to line up with all the other witnesses.
I did that wrong.
*Sips beer*
I have no idea how that could have happened.
Tripe out they trotted
and righteously were zotted
and their leftovers are now Jumbo Shrimp
"But, it's enough to put a beer in my hand."
Mine too. :)
Darned beervaporation!
Science should look into it, I tell you!
Unfortunately for poor souls such as ourselves, all the big research money is currently tied up in combating the menace known as dihydrogen monoxide. The good news is that scientific inquiry in that quarter is proceeding swimmingly, from what I've been given to understand. The devastating effects of beervaporation are next on the study list.
Please remain where you are. Our agents will be there shortly to assist.
Can't.
Gotta go on a beer run.
Zing!
I know. You'll be here all week.
Wow, look at SB's argument, the long arm of the afterbirthers encircling and drawing in BO: "He's an immigrant. So what. You're racist against immigrants. RACISTS!"
They know darn well BO is ineligible and they want to rub everyone's face in it.
Thanks Butter; this is proving to be a very long struggle but we WILL PREVAIL in the end!! The truth will always come out...

It’s really difficult for me. Language, I am sorry that I haven’t. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me.
