Republican Senate contender Corey Stewart revives Obama 'birther' claim - Polidicks

[URL]https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/dec/09/republican-senate-contender-corey-stewart-revives[/URL] [QUOTE]A Republican candidate to challenge former vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine for a Senate seat in Virginia has suggested Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery, in a tweet that paired the debunked conspiracy theory with the controversial Alabama Senate race. Corey Stewart was Virginia state chairman for Donald Trump in 2016, then ran Ed Gillespie close for the Republican nomination in this year’s Virginia gubernatorial election. On Friday night, he tweeted: “@TheDemocrats got cocky forging @BarackObama birth certificate. Thought they could slip phony #AllredYearbookFraud by on @MooreSenate. Sad!!” Stewart’s reference to the “AllredYearbookFraud” was a response to reports on Friday that one of the women who has accused GOP Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual misconduct when she was a teenager added text to what she says is Moore’s signature in her high-school yearbook.[/QUOTE] [editline].[/editline] Meant to put this in polidicks. Can a mod please move it?

The dude has done fuck all since leaving save for getting a spokesperson job (I think?). Does this guy have nothing better to do with his time?

I don't know, 'But Obama' just doesn't have the same zing as 'But Hillary'.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;52964297]I don't know, 'But Obama' just doesn't have the same zing as 'But Hillary'.[/QUOTE] He needs to get updated with the times. 'But Obama' was the old scapegoat, it's been done to death. All the [I]cool[/I] kids say 'But Hillary' now.

Essential it boils down to this (Starts at 1 min 14 secs.) [video=youtube_share;Rm3d43HLyTI]http://youtu.be/Rm3d43HLyTI?t=1m14s[/video]

While he's at it can he look into Melania to make sure she actually came into this country from Slovenia legally?

who cares if its fake or not, you can't undo Obama's presidency.

[QUOTE=Svinnik;52964718]who cares if its fake or not, you can't undo Obama's presidency.[/QUOTE] I really wish that were true, but it's not. Congress and Trump already have pushed through numerous laws that repeal or counter hundreds of things Obama put in place. And it's only been 11 months in office. Unless you're talking about it from a historical perspective. Which in that case, yeah they could undo it there too. Board of Eds across the US are run by locals, which pick which history text books to use. There have been thousands of incidents in the past of choosing history books that either downplay or outright ignore certain aspects of American history for political purposes. It would not be difficult to [I]literally[/I] make Obama a footnote in history.

Really, this shit again. This is such a pathetically weak thing to go after, I mean even if it were 100% proven what does it change? That a foreign citizen can competently run US government?

Because that's what this has always been about. Certain people couldn't accept that a black man was going to be leader of the free world, so they came up with a bunch of conspiratorial nonsense about him being a gay muslim born in Kenya.

He's not even president anymore, why are they still going apeshit about this? It's not like they're going to get rid of the fact he was president doing this either - Trump's regime is already taking care of that.

Whatever straws need be grasped will be firmly ripped from the earth until it is so...

[QUOTE=Popularvote;52964747]OOOOH, THEY'RE TRYIN[/QUOTE] You're avatar really reflects how I've felt in this country since the the presidential election and completely echoes your post.

[U]Even if[/U] he was actually truly a Muslim Kenyan with forged documents and it was all a giant hoax and a lie, at this point the "DAMAGE" is done. He won. He had 8 years and his lie never got him in any trouble. You are allowed to be annoyed all you want but you lost. The debate never meant anything ever anyways.

Now he that he isn't sitting president you have people like Alex Jones making Deep state theories to keep him in a theoretical perpetual state of power because for the media, the fear of the 'evil left' is powerful for views. Just look at gun sales and sitting presidents. Obama came in, sales went crazy. Now Trump is the big cheese and sales died.

And whenever Obama or Clinton die these people will dig up their corpses to examine the skulls for reptilian features.
