Iowa GOP Supports Amendment To Strip Obama’s Citizenship Because He Won The Nobel Pea

[sandorski]

Really? Where ...



Like monkeys on the zoo flinging poo.

You're right, not his "Citizenship". However, his ability to be President or hold Office would be removed. When it comes down to it, it's just another angle to attain the same end.

To be fair, it isn't entirely clear exactly what is meant by including this in their platform, except that it is meant as some sort of anti-Obama statement, and has to do with the Peace Prize. Any concrete goals they would hope to attain from it - be they stripping him of citizenship or anything else - are not addressed and therefore unknown, at least based on what is in the Newsweek article.

The relevant passage:

There are, of course, other implications of Thirteenthism, such as ensuring that the United States never again suffers the humiliation of having a president win the Nobel Peace Prize. That was just what the Iowa Republicans had in mind, according to Plogmann, who wrote in an e-mail that the plank “was meant to make a statement about the delegates’ opinion about Mr. Obama receiving the prize.”

No, it doesn't say that either. That's the bloggers interpretation of what it could mean, and he is trying to say that's what they said. It was even worse yesterday when it first hit, I saw it before it was posted here, it was something like "Amendment to Iowa GOP party Platform to strip Obama of his citizenship for accepting Nobel Peace Prize".

But but but, all that tells us is that they wanted to make a statement. Perhaps the intent was to congratulate Obama on the prize. Yes, that is surely it. This whole thing has simply been misinterpreted. These GOP folk are proud that an American won and the commie liberals are trying to smear their name. Anybody who thinks the GOP wants to harm Obama because he won a prize is an asshole. The rest of us are fucking real Americans and patriots. No penis envy here.

We should all stand united behind the nobel legume.

Ah, I stand corrected.

Wait, no I don't. I didn't say anything to the contrary. Indeed, the Newsweek article I linked explicitly notes this has NOT been introduced as legislation. And? Nobody (but you) suggested it was. That's not the point. The mockery is aimed at THE FACT that a bunch of your precious GOP officials were actually petty enough and dumb enough to put something like this in their platform.

So once again, you've refuted something nobody said. That's called a straw man. It's a duhversion from the actual topic at hand. Imagine that. Oh well, go with your strengths.

Again you twit - it has nothing to do with the "GOP officials" (or "state GOP") - it's the elected caucus reps that move on to county and then to state. Try to pay attention for once bowfinger. sheesh.
