WND, the Freeper's bible and the idiot's delight has come up with a fake Kenyan birth certificate for Obama. Ok, but how do we know it's a faked? Well -- wait for it -- Obama was born in '61 and the country of Kenya didn't even exist until 1964.
World Net Daily has done it! They've finally proven that President Obama was, in fact, born in Kenya:
The document lists Obama's parents as Barack Hussein Obama and Stanley Ann Obama, formerly Stanley Ann Dunham, the birth date as Aug. 4, 1961, and the hospital of birth as Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya.
There's just one teensy little problem here -- The Republic of Kenya didn't exist until 1964 -- three years after Obama's birth. Right wing blog Little Green Footballs is calling this a hoax, but leave it to the nutbags at Free Republic to take the debunked myth to a whole new level. See, the whole thing ties into the divorce of President Obama's parents!

Read on, gentle skeptics, it gets better....
I suppose this should have gone in the Birther thread, but what we are dealing with here are people who have to be reminded to breath and their stupidity is side-splittin' funny. In fact, this is so rich that the Birther thread should be moved into here.
My Dawg, these buffoons actually have the right to vote! I mean, those of them who are capable of finding their way to the polls and are dexterous enough to pick up a pencil/pull a lever/whatever, have it. The rest just sit around and drool -- more of Dude's 'tards who likely wonder how come they always have spit on their chins.
You just can't make this stuff up. Wish I could....

Oh, that's rich! With that document, I suspect the Birther movement has peaked, and has started its decline into a tiny movement, to be pointed at with laughing derision. It occurs to me that someone may have forged this precisely to sucker WND and the RR into making themselves look even more moronic. If so, I applaud that person.

Keith Olbermann gives this fake document a good thrashing in this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDDlykkl3Uc&feature=related). From the show's transcript(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32284299/ns/msnbc_tv-countdown_with_keith_olbermann/):
"...as sagely noted on a dozen websites, specifically Daily Kos, the city of Mombasa was not part of Kenya in 1961. It was part of Zanzibar in 1961. It didn't become part of Kenya until 1963...
On February 14[sic], 1964, Kenya was not a republic. It was still a British dominion. It's 1964 documents read "the Dominion of Kenya." It did not become the Republic of Kenya until December 12th, 1964.
Also, the registrar who is supposed to have signed this, E.F. Lavender (ph). E.F. Lavender turns out to be the name of a popular detergent, to say nothing of a brand of specially bred show geckos.
Also, the registration number on the document: 44, the letter O, 47. Just a coincidence that Obama is the 44th president. His last name starts with the letter O. And when this other fellow, Ed Hale, says he obtained the document last September, Obama was 47 years old..."
Oh, wait, this is getting better. In this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44iHvQY6OGM&feature=channel), it's shown that the fake Kenyan birth certificate was based on another person's real birth certificate....from Australia.
[Edited to add: I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that lost in this birth certificate smoke was the fact that someone shares President Obama's birthday....

Oh ye gods! 
Could it be something in their diets? I mean, does this level of stupidity come naturally without being a grievous birth defect?
The sad/funny/horrible part of it is that they expect the rest of us to believe this poorly contrived nonsense without question; an insult to the intelligence of everyone but themselves.

So you're saying "long-form birth certificate" equals "Bible?"  |

The long-form is for those that itemize their sins when they're born again. Others find it more convenient to use the "1040JEE-Z" and take the "standard conversion".  |

Don't ya just love the True Beliver mentality? It's like they're walking around with a flashing "TROLL ME" sign on their backs.
I mean, the other main birfer lawyer, Phil Berg, fell for a phony Canadian birth certificate tht was signed by Dudley Do-right FFS. (I woulda signed it Louis Riel" or "Albert Guay" just for the lulz).
And now this. I've really got to hand it to the birfers. By getting themselves trolled IRL on such a regular basis, they're single-handedly ensuring that our critical national reserves of lulz are never depleted. |

From what I gathered, the long form version is the original. It contains more information but stays under lock and key and only the short form version is accessible to citizens. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

I can't verify it, but this putz certainly reads as stupid enough to be a tea-baggin' birther. He claims that his cat is the slimy pre-vert what downloaded kiddie porn on his computer.
Oh, please.....

Poor, unfortunate guy! Let's hope that, under testimony, the cat cops to having done the porn downloading. After all, the feline would probably get off Scot free. In cat years, those shameless kiddie-whores would doubtless be fully adult.
