Devastating Loss For Birthers Is Secretly A Major Win For Birthers

Looks like the federal court system and the Associated Press and really everyone else is an O-bot! “WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday threw out a lawsuit questioning President Barack Obama’s citizenship, lambasting the case as a waste of the court’s time and suggesting the plaintiff’s attorney may have to compensate the president’s lawyer.” America will suffer, today. [AP]

    I just read this douchebag’s article and the comments below it and was all sad because Republicans have a boner, for England. Then I read this and was all happy because of Republican’s boners, in the sense of “dumb-ass things that they say and do all the time and in every conceivable situation.” Thanks, Jim!

    how can this be? all those emails that I rec’d can’t be wrong. clearly this is a plot and treason is at the root of it.

  4. This is just another case of activist judges stone cold legislatin’ (and hatin’) from their ivory benches.

    Nice try judge, but I think the Preznit’s lawrats doesn’t want to be paid in Cheetos, Bud Cans and Crystal Meth.

    “… Robertson ordered plaintiff’s attorney John Hemenway of Colorado Springs, Colo., to show why he hasn’t violated court rules barring frivolous and harassing cases and shouldn’t have to pay Obama’s attorney, Bob Bauer, for his time arguing that the case should be thrown out.”

    qwerty42: My thoughts exactly.

    “an argument popular on the Internet and taken seriously practically nowhere else”. Wait there are any arguments on the internet that are taken seriously? Is the Supreme Court finally going to decide who would win in a fight, the Hulk or Neo?

    I can’t wait for these wingnuts to start comparing themselves to Galileo and Joan of Arc — ’cause they’re all truth-seekers who are repressed by the authorities. Maybe one of ‘em’ll even get the stigmata.

  14. norbizness says at 3:00 pm, March 6th, 2009

    And by “threw out,” this wasn’t just a figure of speech; he actually dumped the contents of the plaintiff’s attorney’s briefcase out of the third story window.

    Double Scorpion:

    Henchman 21: Here is where you are wrong, my friend. This woman has killed before.

    Henchman 24: Allegedly.

    Henchman 21: Okay, whatever. But she was a big girl. We are talking about a large, healthy woman of questionable stability.

    Henchman 24: Oh, you are totally underestimating the never-say-die scrappiness of a survivor.

    The Monarch: Hey, guess what? Nobody cares who would win in a crazy fantasy fist-fight between Anne Frank and Lizzie Borden!

    Somewhere out there is a right-wing Oliver Stone ready to turn this into a three hour movie

  16. Human-Animal Hybrid says at 3:03 pm, March 6th, 2009

    “In an argument popular on the Internet and taken seriously practically nowhere else…”

    That kind of sums up the Republican Party too.

    Yes! Finally Rule 11 sanctions against the Regent Law School grads bringing these types of cases.

    miss_emish: weighing. dumb. typing so hard.

  25. Hooray For Anything says at 3:25 pm, March 6th, 2009

    chascates: I kinda wish this whole socialism thing was a little closer to the truth if only because there’s a lot of people who deserve to be exiled to Siberia

  26. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

    This reminds me of the one good scene from “Billy Madison,” when Adam Sandler gives his speech on the influence of the industrial revolution on literature and chooses a random children’s book metaphor. The moderator responds with: “Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.” This is what I imagine the judge ACTUALLY said to the prosecuting attorney.

  28. HughJennicks says at 3:32 pm, March 6th, 2009

    Conservative investigative journo, Al Ritter, who searches for the dark and seamy underbelly of truth where the sun don’t shine, alleges that Snopes.com and Fact Check.com are “left-leaning”. All REAL Contemporary Conservatives know that evidence and facts have an inherent liberal bias…

    Why are you posting this with the same old picture of one of the best campaign signs of 2008 campaign? Get a brain, moran!

  31. Cold War Unicorns says at 3:44 pm, March 6th, 2009

    In other news, former Presidential candidate and Tutankhamen impersonator John McCain was born IN FUCKING PANAMA and NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE!! If this half-breed Isthmusian fraud is allowed to remain in the senate, it’s only a matter of time before WE’RE ALL WEARING STRAW HATS!!!

  32. I was all confused by this headline, because I had confused “birthers” with “breeders”.

  33. BklynIlluminati says at 3:52 pm, March 6th, 2009

    Ok would anyone have said a peep if the judge picked up his gavel flung it at the Plaintiff’s attorney and then proceed to jump up and drag him into the bathroom and gave him a swirlie?

  34. gjdodger says at 3:53 pm, March 6th, 2009

    We’ve stumbled on a way to balance the budget!
    1) Hopey gets a list of people who, say, bought Joe the Plumber’s book.
    2) Calls them in a disguised voice, says he has proof Obama was born in Kenya.
    3) They sue.
    4) They have to pay the government’s lawyers.
    5) Profit!!

  37. totoro says at 4:10 pm, March 6th, 2009

    Advocatus_Diaboli: And disbarrment proceedings need to get started too. I don’t think a complaint to the state bar would require more than stapling the pleading in this case to the ruling and a stamp.

    In other news, Rush Limbaugh was born on the planet Tatooine to proud parents Jabba & Linda the Hutt.

    suggesting the plaintiff’s attorney may have to compensate the president’s lawyer

    Now that’s redistribution of wealth I can believe in.

    Nixon started this with “the silent majority.” Now they’re a litle concentrated knot of “stark raving mad.”

  44. TeddyS says at 4:47 pm, March 6th, 2009

    Big surprise. A judge in Washington rules in favor of your lefty President, because if he didn’t he would be disappeared. We all know about your socialist President being borned in Iran and North Korea, no matter what your alleged law people say.

    I served on a Swift Boat in Iraq with Vince Foster before he was murdered by Hillary, who got away with it.

    And I am spending a lot of time in the prison library writing my appeal because another Dumbocrat Party judge is trying to keep me quiet about the so-called Kennedy “assassination” and the “moon landings.” Please contribute to my Truthy Campaign, and if you are a young boy, send a photo.

  47. Why is it that people who’s critical thinking skills are so damaged that they think that someday we’ll find Noah’s Ark intact atop a Turkish mountain can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that Obama is indeed a U.S. citizen?

    This is bad news for my lawsuit implicating 75 Senators as reptilian Lizard People.

    Well played indeed, Judge Robertson.
