Here We Go Again: Birthers - The Next Generation

Rex Huppke write in the Chicago Tribune that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really wasn't born in Puerto Rico, but in Venezuela. 馃檮

There's enough to be critical of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez than to start a birther campaign against her like Donald Trump did against Barack Obama.

Ummm, did you actually read the article? This is [b][i][u]SATIRE[/u][/i][/b].

BTW, AOC was born in the Bronx, not Puerto Rico.

Please read the article.

@Northwest I think that's excellent satire then because he sounded exactly like a birther lol.

@SatanBurger Here's my first hint :-)

[quote]After years of allowing you to feel angry and terrified about myriad leftist plots to destroy America, I think [b][u][i]it鈥檚 time we in the liberal camp[/i][/u][/b] finally tell you exactly what you want to hear.

We鈥檝e tried pointing out that you鈥檙e being deceived by a network that makes money by recklessly feeding your fears and insecurities. We鈥檝e fact-checked and debunked and offered cogent explanations, but none of it seems to override the dopamine rush you get from hearing Sean Hannity tell you President Donald Trump is a muscular and infallible hero-god while Hillary Clinton is a demon spawn sent by Muslim Communists to level all Evangelical churches with her laser eyes. (Spoiler Alert: It鈥檚 true!)[/quote]

At some point, when we get tired of stating the obvious, there's nothing left but the absurd, or satire.

@Northwest Ohhh I don't know how I missed that. Now that I've read it again, it's quite brilliant.

@SatanBurger BTW, I just love it, when one of the WallNuters, says something like 'Obama, the Kenyan Muslim communist', to confirm that they are absolutely clueless.

@SatanBurger I guess if you're an SW regular, you're used to things like "communist muslim", "Hillary killed our people in Benghazi", and more nuggets from the WallNutters. :-)

@Northwest AOC鈥檚 quotes often seem like satire.

@Northwest Not to push the classic line of racism but saying Obama is from Kenya is just another way to stoke racial tensions. I know that line of Obama being from Kenya is complete crap but even if someone was from Kenya, it doesn't mean they wouldn't make a good president. I bet there's lots of people out there who actually have great ideas on how to solve poverty for instance but won't be heard because they have no power.

This world would be a lot better place if we elected people based on merits and what they could actually do versus from what they're told to do.

@Northwest That's exactly what it is. I mean I meant to read it fully but I'm just so used to the nuttery around here and other places.
