:D:D you still beating that dead horse...Surely (don't call me Shirley) you can find a fresh wingbat cause..

The current wingbat cause is building up expectations for a Romney win, so that they can scream Obama stole the election.

Even though Romney has never lead in the electoral college in the past 6 months, and despite the trumpeting of his being "almost tied" in several swing states, has zero way to get to the win. The election has been over for at least a month.

It's outrageously sad, the vocalization and hype the internet gives to the conspiracy theorists, it's pathetic. Lets them all meet up and feed off each others paranoia and lies. Glen Beck, WND, Breitbart, all feed directly into it. The worse it's ever been in my lifetime, due to the internet.

About.com: "Is Barack Obama a secret Muslim?" debunks every wingnut conspiracy theory about that out since 2007 in their "urban legends" section.

PS: even if any candidate for president were a Muslim, that's not illegal in the USA - a Muslim can be elected president. The sad fear and hate of Muslims in this country is simply hate and bigotry stoked by 9-11 and George Bush. We have Muslims in Congress, you know. GASP!

Extortion? I have to compliment you in your ability to twist things upside down. Extortion is when you demand payment from someone and threaten to do something to them or expose something about them if they don't make the payment. When you do the opposite and offer someone cash, I don't think that quite qualifies as extortion.

Trump is a "has-been clown"? He is probably bigger now than he has ever been (partially due to his hit show). I think he is a little bit of a boob but I still kind of like him.

Trump has been in the news this past week, his company lost the maintenance contract at Trump Tower due to incompetence.

Yes, extortion is where you threaten - Trump's threat is the constant "Birther" drumbeat nonsense. BTW Stephen Colbert offered Trump $1million from the Colbert SuperPAC to a Trump charity if he, Stephen, could tea bag Donald. I think Donald is terrible for refusing that - think of the kids! How selfish!

Here's Obama's great talk at the 2011 Correspondence Dinner where he eviscerated Donald Trump in person (while the Seals were killing bin Laden), plus the official release of the Obama birth video:

Here's the 2012 dinner

Kind of like Harry Reid with a make-believe informer accusing Romney of not paying taxes?

When Romney is in fact giving more to charity per year than Obama has made in a lifetime (minus his taxpayer paid salaries)!

$5 million can organize a lot of community.

Transparency at its best!

Release apps/grades for a bunch of cash

Extortion does involve a threat. "Unless you do xxx, I will do yyy." When did Trump ever make any type of threat. He never said, "Unless you do this, I will do that." What did he ever threaten to do?

Colbert wants to tea bag Trump? What does that mean? If it involves some type of humiliation, you can't compare that to Trump's offer. Well actually maybe you could compare it if there is something in those transcripts that would humiliate Obama.

Riot is homophobic only because she has personal issues and too little closet space to deal with them.

Didn't you know that when someones offers you a bunch of cash, that is extortion? For example, when a sports team signs a player to a big contract, that is actually extortion. If someone offers you a job to work them and they will pay you $100,000 a year, they are actually extorting you. I never realized that before, but now that I know Riot's new definition of extortion, I guess when you get offered money to do something, that is extortion.

This is dumb....even for you.

If some liberal millionaire offered Romney 5 million dollars for any charity he wanted to tell people about his magical mystery tax plan that he repeatedly has refused to answer, would you advocate him doing it?

Try and be honest when you answer.

I feel bad for Stephen Colbert. The poor guy might get arrested for extortion. I can't believe he would try to extort Donald Trump like that. LOL.

In all seriousness, when you offer someone money to do something, that is obviously not extortion. If I offer you $5000 to go go skydiving, that is not extortion. That is a dare. A dare is not extortion. It is in no way like extortion. Trump's offer was basically a dare. He's daring Obama to release those records and will pay to see him do it. That is not even close to being extortion.

They shouldn't have to pay Romney anything. He should answer any questions he can about his tax plan. I think he has already answered plenty of questions about his tax plan. He has layed out his general plan. He obviously does not know every detail of the plan. He knows the general plan. He's not going to get to implement everything he wants to implement. There will have to be compromise or else congress will not approve it.

Even if he has every detail of his plan already laid out, that is not the plan we're going to get. The plan we're going to get will be the compromise he works out with democrats and republicans in the House and Senate. Candidates usually lay out their general plan, but not every detail, because they don't know every detail.

Whatever details he does have of his current plan, he should make public. I think he's already done that. If he hasn't, then he should. If he has the plan and he won't release it, then I would say he obviously has something to hide.

So was that a yes or a no?

It's a simple question and doesn't require a wordy post where you try and act smart.

When Harry Reid came out with false allegations (and no money) about Romney paying no taxes and many here were saying 'what does he have to hide' where were you?

This is similar only $5 million on the table for charity.

What is the President hiding?

In addition to the 'bumps in the road' that were left to die in Lybia.

Here's Colbert making the offer:

http://www.colbertnation.com/full-ep...nthony-everitt

My answer was clearly "yes". He should release as many details of his plan as he knows, regardless of whether he gets paid or not.

Speaking of Mitt Romney, he has "gone dark" for these last two weeks, refusing to speak to the press entirely. That means he's desperate not to make more gaffs in the last two weeks, and doesn't want to get caught out because he still has not revealed his taxes, nor explained how his disastrous financial "plan" can't work.

So this guy has managed to bully his way through a presidential, not revealing his income taxes (just enough to reveal he has massive tax havens and hidden income); no definitive plans for anything (only platitudes and generalities on his website); and has spent the past 2 weeks completely reversing every position he has taken during the campaign, in an appeal to "moderate" voters and while throwing the Republican platform under the bus, in a desperate attempt to gain power.

Romney with Paul Ryan is so incompetent to be president it's not even laughable. It's terrifying. Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Mike Huckabee, Michelle Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin - they are all one and the same regarding presidential timber.

Thank goodness, the last time we'll hear from this one is his concession speech Nov. 6. Then he's done with politics because "You People" anger his wife. Unlike Sarah Palin, Mittens won't be working at Faux.

So ... Republicans 2016: Big. Fat. Nothing. on their bench.

The offer was for 1million if he Colbert could DIP his balls in Trump's mouth...yuk..

Trump's stunt has been criticized by most people with a brain for what it is. A stunt for attention.

You don't give attention seekers what they want. I can't put it any more simply than that.

Give you a D minus for originality

What run out of cartoons?
