Bachmann and the birther sign.

Rep. Michele Bachmann happily plays into the birther conspiracy hokum that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not America.

So maybe it's not a surprise that at a 200-strong tea party rally in our nation's capital on Thursday, with a scrum of press photographers looking on, she allowed herself to be photographed beside a sign that read, "Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot."

Somewhere in Stillwater, a tea party is missing its birther.

Ya, I'm sure the guy in charge of the Treasury Department and the Secret Service, who has numerous family members living in the US Illegally and on government welfare, has no ability to falsify a birth certificate photocopy, nor no motive to do so.

Why won't Obama just publish a certified copy of the ORIGINAL birth certificate? What is he afraid of?

Mayber City Pages should stick to entertainment and leave politics to people who have a clue

This certificate is "INVALID" as the OBAMA team alterated the certificate. The alterations make this worthless in the state of Hawaii. They scratched out the certificate number. Obama's own granny in Kenya is on tape saying Obama was born in Kenya and she was there in Kenya at Obama's birth. This is a certification of live birth and not a "birth certificate". There is a difference. As far as birth announcements, our children were announced in multiple papers, in multiple states - even though they were born in a different state. That is only proof that the child was born - not where the child was born.

Funny, who would spend two years and over $2,000,000 to prevent their original birth certificate from being shown? Something isn't right with this in my opinion.

If I were you, I would not let anyone see YOUR birth certificate for fear of what might happen to anyone even somewhat responsible for it's declared results. I'll tell you what, even if your comical yet disturbing because it kind of sounds like you believe it, were true, Please tell me with all your infinite wisdom how it could even remotely present the threats to our society that you and those like you do as you leach out the benefits provided to all people regardless of what they give back. Please tell me I am just someone who does not recognize good humor or that you are still working on the timing on your comedic delivery.

Is Stillwater a village?

Ok so City Pages posts a document that looks like Obama's birth certificate. Might as well be coming from The Onion.

Ms Bachmann,,aren't you being paid to represent your district,,,?? Can you spell the word FRAUD....

Pigeoncommander

This headline is so misleading. The sign is not actually in the picture being taken. She is posing with a voter, not the sign. I love you CP but this is a little over the top.

Asdf

thanks for pointing this out. both sides can be equally misleading, you are better off ignoring politics.

Stillwater has more morons per square mile than any other city in the world! Proof is that Bachmann got elected!

Maybe that village idiot is Michelle Bachmann????

johnfeia

Hey!

Like me, most idiots are offended by that remark. We would never exploit the beautiful innocence of our idiocy and let others choose our words and level of understanding. Her existence though has finally given us a choice for who we drool on as we could never bear the thought of what would splash back on us...

Somewhere in Minnesota, a congressional district is missing its representative......

To her credit, Ms. Bachmann was operating under the misconception that Kenya was that chain of islands out there in the Pacific with all those pineapples.
