It. Never. Stops.

This is stupidity on a monumental scale.

12. Proof of how stupid they really are.
I spent a quarter on my coffee cups down at the Salvation Army. I'm sure they're better than any crap the Birther store offers.

7. Grifters gotta grift
I feel sure that when the summit doesn't happen, it will prove impossible to get a refund for the Cafe Press merchandise.

4. I think this is a big scam to make money. Notice there are no
specifics about any of the summits, but a request for donations and a birther store. :rofl:

9. Check THIS out
Edited on Sat Jul-09-11 06:08 PM by PeaceNikki
That domain (http://www.whois.net/whois/birthersummit.org) is registered to same contact (matched phone #'s) as Endeavor Media Group: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Endeavor_Media_Group%2C_LLC

THAT place is tied to the fake news organization that gave Jeff Gannon credentials. Also tied to GOPUSA.

lol, nuts.

On edit: oh, wait... is that a generic "private registration" number and that was just the first Google hit and a hilarious coinkie-dink?

11. Why is this surprising?
After all, Obama remains 1) black, and 2) the President. Did you really think definitive proof would faze these morons?

13. They actually call themselves birthers?
I agree with the rest who think this is just a way to draw the stupid to their little store.

14. They show their true colors on one of the pages.
Lily-white.

"Next, the name itself was spawned from a specific letter written to SC Senator Lindsey Graham, in which he is called to host a “Birther Summit.” In that letter, the term was actually a veiled parody of Barack Obama's “historic” Beer Summit. To be fair, his Beer Summit was aptly named, as “Adult Malt Beverage Summit” just wouldn't have had the same appeal."

15. Sucker born every minute: Visit the Birther Summit Store.
Yes, you too can order a cheap t-shirt for $22, or a stinkin' coffee mug for $15. Gee, you don't think fleecing the rubes might have something to do with this, do you?

16. Kinda slim on actual details. That'll make it easier to dodge questions
Edited on Sat Jul-09-11 07:08 PM by Critters2
when it doesn't actually happen.

17. Truly, it is time
to reopen a few funny farms and laughing academies. There is clearly an unmet need for them. :crazy:

19. HIGH-larious!
I clicked through to the "Terry Lakin support fund" site.

Lakin, as you may remember, was a Lt. Col. who refused to deploy because he claimed Obama wasn't the Commander in Chief.

In the corner of the site is a picture of his wife with the caption: "My husband went to prison and lost his pay and pension because of Barack Obama's birth certificate."

!! :spray:

21. White sheet mandatory dress code
for attendance at the Summit. All this birther/Kenyan/Muslim crap boils down in essence to these people cannot stand the fact that there is a black man in the Oval Office. They are filled with hate and fear.

23. Whenever Obama leaves office,
they'll still probably have conventions about this. :eyes: When I went to the post office the other day, a couple of birthers were outside trying to get people to talk to them.
