Welp, Freepers win this round.
I give up - the Open Government ideas site is firmly in the Birther's hands and the stupidity is immense. I wouldn't have really tried to fight the stupid but I was locked in a lab administering NCLB tests on computers. So, sort of free time and a connection to the government site.

But they don't stop. Over 50 posts on the same thing - demanding a stupid birth certificate.

My favorite part was when they compared Obama with Hitler, then called ME the racist. Wow. Logic fails me.

If any of you freeper scumsuckers are reading this - enjoy the show. I give up - you can revel in ruining yet another brilliant idea this Administration put forth.

My only serious question - where are the moderators?

4. you asked for it
even finding the link again burns my eyes...

http://opengov.ideascale.com/akira/ideafactory.do?discussionID=2237


pardon me, after being locked in a room with that idiocy as my only input, I too went nuts. I think the birthers want me dead... or want me to grow a Hitler stache - they can't seem to decide.

10. I love it! Its a showcase of stupid of people.
"will omama and his administration close republican leaning GM dealers like they did with Chrysler dealers?"

Maybe those free market Republican guys shouldn't have failed miserably in the free market, then they wouldn't have to bitch about their welfare handouts.

Seriously, its a big problem though. Obama set up a volunteer site through the Whitehouse. I applied to volunteer for a number of non-profits, requesting a certain fairly rare unique skill which I had and was expensive NEVER heard from any of them, which is really surprising. I wonder if Freeptardation was working behind the scenes there too.

11. These kind of generic Bulletin Boards/Forums can be like
mud wrestling, together, forever...or until the mud gets really cold...

Try using terms like 'hardworking Americans' 'partners'.
and watch what happens when you make the statement..
"911 happened on Bush's watch"...the truth is never
applicable in these places..and hypocrisy rules..

Scary places...

12. Well,
Survey Analytics LLC is listed in the various internet WHOIS search engines for ideascale.com. Survey Analytics LLC seems to be an online survey company of some sort, so I'll hazard a guess that they're the hosting company for opengov.ideascale.com.

Not a government website.... but I bet, in a few months, we'll be seeing some right-wing think tank hold up this survey as evidence for whatever it is the "birthers" in the OP are supporting.

14. It's part of a White House site
Edited on Tue Jun-02-09 02:05 PM by Adelante
This site leads to that one from the "Brainstorm" button:

8. Awww no way - this isn't real?
Edited on Tue Jun-02-09 01:15 PM by AB_Positive
... son of a... you're right. Bastards - got me all wound up all day for nothing.


edit - creating my own wind up involving questioning whether Obama's from Mars. It's getting modded up as the idiots don't realize I'm not calling him non-American. Now I feel better :D

9. Obama owes nothing to the people who did not vote for him.
Not a damn thing.

16. When you wrestle with a pig, all you do is get dirty, and the pig likes it.
Why waste your time arguing with morons? You won't change their minds.

Isn't life good? Get out and enjoy it!
