Well, saying that people were apathetic toward the event might be inaccurate. It would be far more accurate to say that people didn’t care enough to buy tickets for the event that was set to feature Pat Boone, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and a mess of folks who were looking to expose Barack Obama for the fraud they oh-so-desperately wish him to be.

From TalkingPointsMemo.com:

The Sept. 22 event was meant to bring together people from throughout the nation who believe Barack Obama’s birth certificate is fake and therefore he is ineligible to be president. Organizers planned to use it to call on Congress to take up Arpaio’s yearlong investigation into the documents.

The announcement was disappointing to the few people who did plan to attend, as evidenced by a handful of web postings about the cancellation. It didn’t take long for true believers to spin elaborate conspiracy theories about why the event was called off.

One theory could be found on the Facebook page of Linda Bentley, an Arizona tea party activist who had been promoting the event. A visitor to her page wrote that it had been doomed because Arpaio was unwilling to take his probe even further and investigate the president for murder.

“The REASON the EVENT by Sheriff Joe & his Cold Case POSSE was CANCELLED is because the Sheriff & others are TOO DUMB to SEE the MURDERS Barack Obama had his Security Adviser John Brennan commit on Obama’s Gay Lovers in Chicago,” the visitor wrote.

Personally, I don’t believe that Joe Arpaio is dumb enough to truly believe that Barack Obama wasn’t born in this country. He just seems publicity savvy, as well as smart enough to know how to get people to vote for him. It’s just a shame that so many things slip through the cracks in favor of getting folks riled up about birth certificates and immigration.

  2. MR Mendez, you are supposed to be a professional journalist. Apparently you are still not aware that Israeli scientist have proven that Obamas “birth certificate” is a phony document.
    The head scientist is a PHD and was chief science adviser to the prime minister.
    Perhaps you should pull your head out so you can look at the truth objectively.

  3. Tom: I can’t make heads nor tails of what you’re saying, though I imagine you’re implying that I’m biased against Joe Arpaio. Can you clarify that for me?

    Wayne: I’d love to see the articles written by that Israeli scientist. If you can help me out with the source, I’d gladly read what you’re talking about.

  5. *sigh* I was hoping the asteroid would take them all out. But I guess then that hack from Israel would have to figure out how Obama was able to get the asteroid to hit that spot exactly. ‘Cause we all know God support Sheriff Joe and his jack booted thugs of the MCSD

  6. Speaking of letting it go, it will be interesting to watch how aggressively Sheriff Joe pushes the birther issue after the feds dropped their investigation into Arpaio’s civil rights abuses. Do you honestly believe the Feds didn’t have enough evidence for their case? There seems to have been enough just from the five kids at Greyhound park tortured into false murder confessions a couple years back.

    Watch Sheriff Joe closely.

    Meanwhile, Mendez should take his “debunking skills” to the Democratic Party’s legal team in Tenessee. If arguing against the evidence is so easy, it should have been their argument in this case:

    “Tennessee Democrat Party has the right to nominate whoever it chooses to run as a candidate, including someone who is not qualified for the office.”

    Right.

  7. Fake President? No way !!!
    Poll Numbers? Gallup sued by Justice Department after showing Romney ahead, and after being badgered by white house’s top aide.
    Had Bin Laden killed? Every spy technique used to find Bin Laden bad mouthed by the president and
    eliminated. Then bragged so much, he released to the public all spy techniques used.
    Generous to the poor? Spends deficit into the stratosphere with interest rates at zero. The moment the economy starts recovering interest rates will rise causing debt servicing to take 30, 40, 50, then 60 percent of the budget, resulting in declaration of bankruptcy for the country.
    Bush destroyed the housing market? No. Frank, Dodd, and Clinton did that by removing restrictions on banks for holding sub-prime mortages.

  8. Rip – you didn’t read that affidavit you posted the link for, did you. It was repudiation of the whole “birther” nonsense…

    Mammey: Your lack of knowledge of the timeline of history is only exceeded by your inability to form a coherent post…

    As for the cancelled tea-bagger coven —
    ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…
    Proving that without their corporate sugar daddies the tea-baggers are nothing!

  11. There are many people who don’t believe the Obummer and his false BC, SS# and Draft Registration. BUT- Those same people (including me) wouldn’t want to be on the local or national news saying so- because the MEDIA will bully, ridicule and try to make fun of you.

    Signed, One of the MANY hiding.

  14. I find the tea party hilarious…I’d pay to see Joe and Pat Boone duet on “My Way”. But if they want to be taken seriously by the Liberal Press, they need to add some sex and flying saucers in the story line.

  15. They’ve already begun to change their story:

    http://www.barackobama.com/news/entry/pres…

    “Let’s face it, a mixed kid from Hawaii born to a single mom is not likely to become President of the United States. But in America it can happen because of education, because somebody gave me opportunity.”

    Contradicts both bios. Let’s see…the Weekly would try to pass it off as a well thought out “typo”.

    No pressure on the FED’s to do their job with Arpaio. Fools for the phony left/right paradigm let Arpaio get away.
