re: #278 HappyWarrior

That birther is weird. Lincoln? Lincoln was born in Kentucky 10+ years after statehood was acheived. And frankly, I don’t know of any big efforts to get GOldwater knocked off the ballot because of him being born in a then therritory and furthermore, Obama himself supported making the children of military members ala McCain born on military bases in foreign countries having hte same constituional eligibility as kids born in the geographical US. His reward? Oh that’s right. The fuckheads on the right accused him of doing this only to cover his own bases and to draw attention to McCain’s situation. Fucking fuckers.

I believe there was some effort to challenge Goldwater’s status. Nice, normal political dirty tricks.

However, Goldwater really, actually, was born in Arizona, and no one challenged that. With Obama, you’ve got this demented attempt to rewrite his life story that simply will not die, and keeps mutating. A bit different from “Can we kick him off the ballot because he wasn’t born in the U.S.? We can’t? Shit.”
