News Will birthers with flooded basements accept Obama's legitimacy now?
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 3:39 PM
The AJC reports this morning Gov. Sonny Perdue has asked President Obama to issue a disaster declaration for Georgia. A federal disaster declaration would bring federal taxpayer assistance to parts of Georgia effected by the past week's flooding.
Perdue's request creates an ethical dilemma for the estimated 53 percent of southerners who do not believe Obama was born in the United States and therefore isn't eligible to be President. Will birthers whose homes have been damaged by flood waters accept federal disaster aid from a President whose legitimacy they otherwise don't accept?
If FEMA comes knocking on a birther's door, will the birther say "Go away, FEMA person, because I do not accept the authority of unlawfully-elected Secret Kenyans!"
I somehow doubt it.

Are these the camps that George Bush built to lock up all you leftists in? www.dailykos.com/story/2006/2/5/12367/89592 www.media-criticism.com/Internment_Camps_Ashcroft_2002.html
Ugh, SHAME ON YOU, Creative Loafing! How disgusting! People are DYING out there and many have lost their homes and you want to bring politics into this?!?! Who cares what political party they belong to? We need to help each other out! Shameful, absolutely shameful. I'm ashamed to be from the same city you are published from. This isn't even news - it's commentary and sick commentary at that. The author should be fired.
