Dec. 9, 2008 | WASHINGTON -- At first it was a relief to see that the conspiracy theorists who believe Barack Obama isn't eligible to be president didn't shoot any pumpkins at their press conference Monday afternoon. After all, the proponents of this latest theory seem to be heading for levels of mania that even Dan Burton never dreamed up as he investigated outlandish claims about Bill Clinton. (If you need to brush up on your conspiracies, Burton resorted to blowing away squashes in his backyard to show how Clinton had a hand in the murder of White House counsel Vince Foster.)

Only quitters think it’s inevitable
The Left never quit, and now it’s inevitable.
How’s your second week on FR going? What do you like most/least?
If you’ve given up, at least get out of the way.
Good catch. I nailed one last night, was banned by this AM
*shrug* Not every newcomer is a troll.
Now that we have read Salon’s version of what took place at the Press Conference. Tomorrow evening a video posted of the entire Press conference showing all the MSM who were there and we will get to hear their questions to the speakers. We will then see if this report resembles anything that actually took place. Should be fun to see the MSM in action, uncut and unedited. :)
True...been a rash of ‘em lately though, especially on these threads.
He says there is something personally embarrassing on the original.
No reason he can’t show it to the Supremes only, under court seal.
I mean seriously, I can’t imagine.
He was born a hermaphrodite.
