Who ever said it was pulled at random from anywhere? It's not random at all. It's just wrong. The agent has been explicit that it did not come from Obama, the mistake was hers. I know that you refuse to believe anybody or anything that contradicts your prejudice, but that is simply something you're going to have to deal with on your own.

And yet you seem to compelled to constantly make up more out of whole cloth. I hafta tell you, it does not generate great confidence in your ability to tell what is a lie and what is not.

I mean, you wouldn't be hypocritical and NOT DEMAND that Obama PROVE his innocence just like Romney MUST prove his......right?
The Dude was just deflecting for the Demoncrats with that post. He didn't mention the fact that Reid can't legally know anything about Romney's tax records. Maybe he doesn't know that Reid and Obama just don't have any legal way to know those things. It is kind of like what Dems say about Obama not having to show his records.

The Dude's attempt at deflection hasn't showed that he knows that Root asked for his grades and his enrollment records. Of course, he didn't read the link but he is trying to do his job.

Dude, you know full well I always read the links, and Root is saying nothing new. In fact, even his own brethren are growing increasingly embarrassed by him.

Wayne Allyn Root Is Why the Libertarian Party Can't Have Nice Things
Mike Riggs|Aug. 6, 2012 11:27 pm

Former Libertarian Party vice presidential candidate and current Libertarian National Campaign Committee Chair Wayne Allyn Root is why libertarians can't have nice things. Case in point: Root's latest column at Glenn Beck's The Blaze.

Let me sum it up for you: Mitt Romney should offer to release more tax returns only if Obama will release his college transcripts. This will take the pressure off Romney, and put the scrutiny back on Obama, except that Obama will never release his transcripts because he pretended to be from another country to get loans and then seldom went to classes at Columbia and got poor grades. Wayne Allyn Root knows all this because he also graduated from Columbia in 1983 and doesn't remember seeing (crossed out) any black people (end cross out) "Barry Soetoro."

This awful, weird, conspiratorial column, just linked by Matt Drudge, will probably be the most widely read thing Root has ever written. Its existence is a tragedy for Libertarians and libertarians.
...

So why is Wayne Allyn Root giving Romney free campaign advice, when he should be talking to, and about, Libertarian Party candidates? Are the heads of Democratic and Republican organizations writing insane memos telling Gary Johnson how to beat Obama, the bad-grade-getter? Are they telling down-ticket Libertarian Party candidates how to deflect questions about their finances?

NOPE.

That Root writes about Romney as if Gary Johnson did not exist is awful. What's worse is that articles like Root's repel the kind of people Johnson needs in November.

As for anyone who's still upset about The Weekly Standard's description of this year's LP convention as a "goat rodeo": Why don't you direct your rage at the clown running the Libertarian National Campaign Committee?

If you want to defeat Obama, just get out the vote. You CANNOT change the minds of his supporters.
I think The Blaze has a thing today that says that many of those fools from 2008 have withdrawn and are ogling to go against The One. Exciting reading, even for progs,

Why would I give a rat's ass about the Democrats? I am not and never have been one. I was a life long Republican until 2004. I am now an Independent.

While Root (a long debunked buffoon) suggests in a classic act of wild Birther speculation that Obama might have been a foreign exchange student, he does so from what he admits is a position of complete and unrefined personal ignorance. He does not say that "Obama went to college as a Foreign citizen" because he admits that he doesn't know one way or the other.

Remember, this guy has been saying for more than four years that nobody at Columbia knew Obama. And that was a lie before it ever first left his lips.
Actually the Wall Street Journal did it's own investigation, called 400 fellow graduates from Obama's class and NOBODY ever saw him or knew him at the college.
That was the Wall Street Journal from two years ago.

What "fraud" are you hallucinating?
Hey, Oh Checker of laws, can you find the one that says Romney has to release his income tax records? Please do and let us know what you found. I think this one is the same thing as what you people say about how Obama protects his records.

I will agree with you that leaks of illegal information do come from the White House but do wonder if they can force the IRS to break the law, just in case they need it to happen.

A "domestic applicant" is just that. An applicant.

Where does it say that that a US Citizen cannot register as a foreign student.

It doesn't.
