Brown is all class, isn’t he? Earlier I posted about his filing a criminal complaint against the Massachusetts Democrats, most likely because he thinks he smells momentum. Actually, he smells, period.

Then, via AMERICAblog, we watch him try to slime President Obama and his mother (more details here). This was recorded during the 2008 Republican National Convention:

I’d love to see him say that to President Obama’s face when he shows up tomorrow to support Martha Coakley. I’ll bet that little smirk would fade quickly.

From what I've learned while in Kenya....Obama's dad was married 2 many women in both traditional African and Islamic methods....none were ever recognized by the Kenya state until current step mom whom he made it legal after getting back home.

So, Obama sr. was married in a civil ceremony legally in the United States to Ms. Dunham, she was his 1st legal wife. Besides, as a Muslim man (even thou he was an atheist in his adult yrs), he could legally marry up to 4 wives whether its recognized by either Kenya or the US.

Barack Obama Jr.'s parents were not legally married because his father was married to Kezia Aoka who he married in 1954 and never divorced.

He never SAID out of wedlock.

'Brown: Barack's mom had him when she was, what, 18 years old?

Guest: And married!

Brown: Well, I don't know about that.

Was she married when Barack was BORN? NO. so whats all fit about.'

Sorry, that one went right by me.

Oh, sorry. I was playing on the spin from the piece by Blue Mass Group from which AMERICAblog got the video. The gist there is that this supposedly puts Brown in the same camp as birthers.

Digby at Hullabaloo has the same idea.

Was that supposed to make any kind of sense?

I guess Michelle Obama is just a teabagger birther then.

dear anon...perhaps English isn't your 1st language.....but its already been cleared Obama's father was absent from the moment he came into this world..hence why Ms. Dunham divorced him. You know, the basic info such as Wiki can inform you of it. I know facts are hard to grasp for some ppl....but stop repeating a broken record disproved by basic google.
GottaLaff

You can't figure that out? It's about using it, and her age, as a smear. Which is exactly why we asked what difference it makes here in comments.

He made it sound like an accusation. Smirking, smiling, chuckling as if it made a difference.

Would he say the same about Bristol Palin?

To have even made it into an issue at all was irrelevant. And you had to ask about that?

Did you read the word "slime" in the post?

Are we done now?

Well, it's Michelle Obama who said his mother was single when she had him. Apparently she was as unclear on the subject as Brown was.

But here's the question: What difference does it make? None.

Yeah, I agree. So, what is this post about?
GottaLaff

Mr. Dak is right.

Anon, Geez, what about this don't you get?

Dunham was three months pregnant at the time of her marriage.

Obama was born in 1961.

Dunham filed for divorce in Honolulu in January 1964. Obama Sr. did not contest, and the divorce was granted

But here's the question: What difference does it make? None.

Bye now.

its the pathetic failure of today's conservatives...but then again there is the legacy of trashing women in general....esp. those whom they claim married men outside of their race. I remember O'Reilly stating similar offensive comment as if thou a white woman dating or marrying men of different ethnicity somehow made them lewd.

Brown is the worse kind of Republicans....pretend to be mainstream to appeal to clueless voters....while being the doochbag he is to screw them over when in power. At lease we know where real right wingers stand...unlike this fake character.
Mr. Dak

Even more important, I think, is this question --- What does your mother having a ring on her finger, or not, at the time of your birth, have to do with your intelligence or abilities? If Scott Brown is the product of a 'normal' home and Barack Obama is the product of a 'broken' home, then, based on that small sample, 'broken' homes produce better people.

""Barack saw his mother, who was very young and very single when she had him..."

Hmmm...if she was single then it's out of wedlock, right?
GottaLaff

Not out of wedlock, single. Do you equate those? Really?

She was married when she gave birth.

Oh, just go read:

"Barack saw his mother, who was very young and very single when she had him, and he saw her work hard to complete her education and try to raise he and his sister." ~ Michelle Obama
http://blog.showmeprogress.com/showDiary.do?dia...

"His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was "very young and very single when she had him." And, Obama added, he has observed his wife's attempts to reconcile motherhood with her career aspirations."
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/...

Perhaps Brown got the idea from Michelle Obama?

"Hillary doesn't know what it feels like to be raised by a single poor white mother, Barack does!"
Or maybe from Rev. Wright

"I was raised by a single mother."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpktgJ6UVuM
Or perhaps he remembered Obama saying he was raised by a poor single mother, which he said quite often....

You typify your party. Infantile remarks that are utterly worthless.

Buh bye now, John.

YOu are gone.
GottaLaff

John, you don't know us here. We have posted guidelines a few times, but let's recap just for you.

We don't post baiting comments.

We don't accept trolls.

If you have something of worth to say, we'd love to hear it. If it's just pointless baiting, you get deleted.

Clear? Good.
Marti

ah haha Laffy...imagining the classy President Obama next to this GQ turkey...
