Obama supporters in birtherism-banner blunder
wnd ^ | August 25, 2012

2nd 'potatoe' moment this week for campaign in Ohio

If Barack Obama carries the key swing state of Ohio in November, it won’t be because he and his supporters know how to spell.

Today, at a Republican rally in Powell, Ohio, an airplane pulling a banner attempted to capitalize on Mitt Romney’s “joke” yesterday in Michigan about not needing to show his birth certificate. The Democrats have responded by accusing Romney of having joined the “birthers,” and the airplane banner continued that theme.

Unfortunately, the supporters who sponsored the banner – MoveOn.org, as reported by a Los Angeles Times reporter onsite – failed to do a spell-check before take-off.

“AMERICA IS BETTER THEN BIRTHERISM,” it read, incorrectly substituting “then” for “than”.

The rally was the first time Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, have appeared together and the last public event before the pair head to Tampa for the GOP convention.

There are far too many people around this site that don't know the difference too.

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.(Proverbs 6:16-19)

Think of Obama—how many of these has he broken? Proud look? (Got that) Lying Tongue (Yeah) hands that shed innocent Blood? (Maybe abortion? Kids killed in Iran/ Iraq/ etc...)

Beyond the spelling error, what does the sign even mean?

That the American people are too intelligent (and moral, for that matter) to accept a theory that has never had concrete evidence present to disprove it as fact. Akin to "You still believe that garbage even though you've been told by every news outlet that we'll demean your intelligence and make you into a sociopolitical pariah if you ever deem to broach the subject?"

Obviously the picture was meant to be “read” from behind, otherwise how would the ObamaZots know which end was up/ down/sideway....oh forget it.
No Billy Sinclair jokes, please.

seems an Alinsky-like tactic to ridicule any discussion of Obama’s BC records, or evasiveness of them.

The real message may be targeted at Romney, to not bring it up again,--trying to imply American people are above the discussion (?)

They really must want to shame any discussion of Obama records...


Two things for Mr. Romney’s camp:

one. “Mr. President, why did you put America in turmoil by letting this drag on for 3 1/2 years before producing your real birth certificate?” There was no reason to keep it hidden from the American people.

Two: Mr. Romney should demand a “no-fly zone” around his campaign speeches, just like for Mr. Ozero.

Obama and three supporters, acting as human letters, YMCA-style, misspelled “Ohio” as “Oiho”.

...just shouting out to the First Spouse....

Oi Ho (for those in Rio Vista)

Then in place of than is becoming more and more widespread. Didn’t these people study spelling and grammar in school?!

MSM, Obama campaign instant over-reaction.. is an indication of their area of weakness and concern over public discussion of the issue.

Probably?

Who the H fakes a BC?

An ID Thief?

The current POTUS.


Just naked eyeballing the BC you can easily tell it's been Frankensteined together.

The MSM and Obama in unison have been hammering for Romneys tax records, while gate-keeping Obama's background.

His BC comment was a good response

Irony is--- Obama was the first Birther, while promoting his book. Banner should read: America deserves better than Obama Fraud.

As can be seen all too often on FR, with the cat’s and dog’s and Nazi’s and Kennedy’s being used as plurals.

It's very simple to keep the whole "than/then" thing straight:

Women would rather hug than have sex.

Men would rather hug then have sex.

BWHAHAHA!!!

Reminds me of:

“Woman without her man is nothing.”

How would you punctuate that sentence?

I would offer this:

“Woman: without her, man is nothing.”

However, I have seen this:

“Woman, without her man, is nothing.”

Or something like that anyway... :-)

I thought “Oiho” was Obama's 58th state.

Could just be a misunderstanding on my part.
