"After five years of pushing a racist conspiracy theory into the mainstream, it was appalling to watch Trump appoint himself the judge of whether the President of the United States is American," Mook said. "This sickening display shows more than ever why Donald Trump is totally unfit to be president.”
- Conspiracy theory yes, racist noterry_cloth
- 100% racistRamanisky2
- ted cruz's gop acceptance proved the hypocracyBonSeff

- Fuck off terry. It's 100% racist.BusterBoy
- how is it racist. the kenyan thing wasn't because the guy is black, it's because his dad is kenyan. no need to get hysterical about itterry_cloth
- probably because it's so ridiculous to assume the republican run whitehouse didn't run background checks on Obama before he was electedmonospaced
- The idea that a non American could become president under their watch is so outrageous that the only reason to bring it up again is they just don't like him.monospaced
- Not to mention that this rumor was the most popular among the racist populace and originated there, and lives there exclusively. Trump knows that.monospaced
- lol, @ mono a non american pres is outrages and illegal.yurimon
- no shit of course it ismonospaced
- Um no, it originated in hillaries camp. You still haven't told me why it's racist. Such mental midgetry to run around crying racism at everything. Needs to stopterry_cloth
- Origin isn't the issue. Hillary never said it herself as far as I know. Trump made it his platform in 2012.monospaced
- terry, hes just trying to justify tramp bad, through various forms of mental acrobatics.yurimon
- Well I agree that who said it first is irrelevantterry_cloth
- No acrobatics necessary. I don't know why you are defendin the man. Doesn't matter who he is, implying someone isn't American when he obviously is is idiotic.monospaced
- i just dont see any good arguments aside from the cheap jabs. thats the purpose of a debate.yurimon
- Idiotic or brilliant, it got everyone talking about him in a political context, idiotic or not, it lead to obamer addressing him personally on the issue which iterry_cloth
- -nstanly gave Donald credibility. Imagine if obamer addressed Alex Jones, it would instantly raise the guys credebilityterry_cloth
- Instantlyterry_cloth
- cannot even spell Obama... megalolzfadein11
- It's a joke you megaderp. Go back to sucking on the pc teat of the young Turks or wherever fucks like you get thier "news"terry_cloth
- *theirterry_cloth
- lol, being laughed at by the POTUS sure got Trump a lot of "credibility" among people who fucking LOVED hearing the birther shit, THAT is my pointmonospaced
- Huh? How does that relate to racismterry_cloth
- It's racist because when it came out that John McCain was born in Panama no one batted an eye. Yet, Obama 'could' be born outside the US holy shit...kona
- Once again, how is that racistterry_cloth
- Macho terrence needs a nappy change - he's shit himself again and it's leaked all over QBN. Pratt.fadein11
- It's racist because it implies he's not American ONLY because of his race. There was no reason, AT ALL, to believe he wasn't American.monospaced
- He was elected president, and there was no way in hell that would have happened without extensive background checks and proof that he fit all requirements.monospaced
- The bullshit conspiracy, which it is, was started by people who didn't like the idea that his father was from Kenya, or that he had a funny name.monospaced
- By people who think that he's not American because of his heritage, or his perceived religious beliefs. It wasn't based on any real evidence at all.monospaced
- Personally, I think the birther movement was more of a race-baiting tactic, and NOT racist in and of itself. It appealed to racists who hate having a black presmonospaced
- It also appeals to people who simply can't stand the democratic party. Sadly, a lot of them have an unsavory reputation in that area as well.monospaced
- yes mono.fadein11
- but, no need to listen to me, because according to yuri, I'm incapable of rational thought or even forming an argument because of my low intelligence quotientmonospaced
- and, of course, I'm brainwashed, uninformed; I have absolutely no understanding of history or context related to this, and should really be following infowarsmonospaced
- Not sure why you feel the need to bring yuri into this or why you demonize people with a different political stance, childish behaviorterry_cloth
- I think you are making some flawed assumptions about people you don't understand's motivations. As far as you fadein, look in the mirror, you are describing youterry_cloth
- -rself. Grow up kiddo. As intellectually dishonest as mono is, he is at least participating in a civil conversation. Try acting your age for onceterry_cloth
- nothing I said is intellectually dishonest, it was the actual answer to your question. only brought in yuri as a reaction to his attack on me earliermonospaced
- I'm not demonizing anyone. That demonization was done long ago by people far more influential than me.monospaced
- you are assuming peoples motivations to be bad based on your personal biases and generally playing us vs. them games that have no place in an honest discourseterry_cloth
- lolfadein11
- actually, I'm not... I was incredibly fair about where i placed those perceived motivations, allowing for more than one source, all of which are beyond biasmonospaced
- "It's racist because it implies he's not American ONLY because of his race" are you a wizard, can you read minds with your Chrystal ball. C'mon mono, you are materry_cloth
- -king ridiculous assumptions about people's motivations based on your partisan biasterry_cloth
- Not an assumption. What other reason could it have been that wasn't covered 4 years before when he was elected president? No need to get mean and sarcastic heremonospaced
- There was no reason, at all, to believe Obama wasn't 100% American and the legitimate president of the united states.monospaced
- By the way, I've already stated that I felt it wasn't racist in my opinion, in case you missed that. I said it was more race-baiting.monospaced
- "Not an assumption. What other reason could it have been"terry_cloth
- "it wasn't racist in my opinion", "ONLY because of his race"terry_cloth
- Are you alright mono, you aren't making any senseterry_cloth
- I'm trying to explain WHY it's being viewed as racist, or as coming from a racist place. At the end of the day, there's no conceivable reason for the conspiracymonospaced
- While it might not be racist, it appeals to anyone who can't stand the idea of a black president. Those guys love this shit. That's how it's race baiting.monospaced
- I threw out my own view. I'm open ears to why you think it's not racist, considering the conspiracy had no actual evidence backing it up.monospaced
- Extra points if you can manage to do it without insulting me.monospaced
- You assume causation at seeing a correlation. Not the strongest line of reasoning there monoterry_cloth
- I think it's not racist because here is nothing other than assumptions to say it is and accusing people based on flimsy bullshit is intellectually dishonestterry_cloth
- What was the reason to question his citizenship after he was president, considering there was nothing to question at all?monospaced
- right, that's the point, you don't know, that's why assuming it must be racism is dumb as fuck, baselessterry_cloth
- there are so many substantive reasons to not like trump that it amazes me that anyone pays any attention to these constant lazy accusations of racismterry_cloth
