Gov.Haley Barbour still has some chance for GOP nomination... unless he insists on doing these stupid heroics of celebrating confederate extremists.
I just don’t get our Ignorant people especially the one that are running or in office belong to the other party, the birth certificate again? well after Pres. Obama 2nd term 2016 I'm living this country Going back to my home country where people are normal,I cannot take the redirect any more,
@Starr:
I FINALLY heard back from the Senator:) Working on getting my husband out of Egypt... Now I am debating whether to fly back in 2 1/2 weeks in light of what happened to Lara. God bless her!
Anderson,
I have been watching your interview on birth certificate for Presidential proof of birth. You stated that a short form birth certificate is all that is required to get a passport by the federal government. I just recently applied for a passport for my 14 year old daughter. When we went for our appointment and we were told that the "short" form birth certificate was NOT acceptable for proof of citizenship and that we had to apply for and provide a long form birth certificate to obtain a United States passport. We reside in Dallas Tx.
The South is still trying to change history and claim victory. Sorry guys, you lost. Deal with it and grow up and join us in the modern world.
Good Night Anderson and Team 360. Have a wonderful evening
I can understand the state wanting to commemorate their history, but this type of history should not be celebrated. If you were the govenor, would you really want something like this to represent your state to the rest of the country or even the rest of the world?
What is with Mississippi? Do they not have any heros that ALL PEOPLE would look up to?
Ok – this might sound unpopular, but let them have the license plate. We really shouldn't hide history or we're doomed to repeat it – AND – I think I'd like to know who the haters are.
Wasn't this license plate stuff a project of the Sons of Confederate Veterans?? It's Mississippi. Enough said.
Since the KKK wore those outfits, how can you prove who was actually participating?
Congrats, Maya Angelou, George H.W. Bush, and others honor of Freedom!!!!!!! Yay!!!
Why are "birthers" complaining about Obama, who was born in Hawaii when it was a state, but never complained about McClain, who was born in the CZ, outside of the US? McClain was born outside of the US, Obama was born in the US, yet they're questioning Obama?
Yes. Iran dictator is willing to use nukes to stay in power. I think One thing that can scare them is talking and willing to freeze their individual assets around the world.
One thing that you can do to help us Iranian with our uprising is to show interest in events going on there.
Thanks.
@Anderson & Jeffrey Toobin,
Outstanding reporting tonight! Anderson, you questions to the Montana birther were great.
Jeffrey, your insights on the birther's claims and the constitution were fantastic. Thank you so much for your commentary.
What the heck is wrong with Rep. Wagner?
I think there were many leaders in the KKK.
Hi Starr! I guess you could say your cat used to sock-it-to-you.
@Bahar sassani: They American Government has to be tactful when dealing with the Iranian protests, because if they support the Green Movement very clearly, the Iranian regime will say the protesters are linked to America. That is what the regime always does. They always want to blame everything on foreign influence.
What is so amazing many planets out of earth and solar system!!!!!! I love explorer see planets!
I love "The shot" Kleptomaniac feline 'cat' burglar all toys, shoes and everything!!! LOL!!! I don't believe my eyes!! LOL!!!! Thanks Anderson! 🙂
Honestly, sometimes I wonder if we just misunderstand our rights as citizens of the country, how can the man say one must have both parents born here beofre they can be citizens, does he really know the history of this country, no one person is a true american, forefathers of this country are the rebels from europe until then one of these days an arab orign american will be president
after what they claim african from kenya
Hello Everyone,
Anderson, you keep helping us all understand the issues, and make it so clear, what is a fact, and what is "opinion", I truly appreciate your work. Thank YOU.
As for Bob Wagner, OMG, I cannot believe he said "pure"!! Is he indicating that those whose parents are immigrants are not "pure Americans"? That is so racist!
@Ben Moore Johnson III
Every state has its own constitution. That does not exempt them from the U.S.Constitution.. The very fact that Montana is part of the U.S.A make them subject to the U.S. Constitution.
would u want to live under a regime (make up the rules as u go) or a democracy
@Casey & Sandra – i agree with both of you.
Continued exposure by the media through whatever means will help keep the spot light on the Iranian gov. and their continued repression and absolutely brutal tactics.
Loved the cat burgler story. That cat is really funny. I onece had a cat that stole my socks. It would sometime take me days to find them. In this case, it wasn't the washer or dryer that was losing my socks. LOL
It is the stated objective of the Republican Party to ensure Obama is a one-term President. Reviving the "birther" issue is but one of the means they will employ to do this. There is nothing they won't stoop to, repeatedly, to achieve this goal. Clearly, these Republicans are the most embarrassingly stupid version of their party ever to sit in Congress and you can expect to see evermore gobsmackingly mindless efforts on their part to attempt to bring Obama down. What else explains Rush Limbaugh? Citizens United? Heck, even Clarence Thomas?
So sad about what happened to Lara Logan. She will be in my prayers along with what's happening in the Middle East.
Anderson, you'll have to study your astronomy. It's interesting and fun.
"Look what the cat brought in!!!"
Anderson... the Michael Jackson story continues to get crazier... this is so sad for the Jackson family.
I wish I could teach my (former) mother-in-law to do what that cat does. At least that would keep her busy.
how come Mr obama made many comment about Egypt's protesting and asked their government to step down but when it comes to Iranian he is speechless or western governments hide when we want their help but for sure they don't have problem to take our oil.
long live the freedom
bc canada
I love the cat-burglar! 😛 Great shot!
People of Iran please continue to speak out, you have the worlds attetion. Why are we still debating the president's birthplace? He's half black,get it over it, and he's doing the best he can. We in the U.S. need to set an example of acceptance so countries like Iran can one day have the rights we do. God be with Lara.
Kitty with a personality Plus!
I saw Dusty on another program. They said he was bringing gifts for his owner. How cute!
Dusty brings new meaning to 'cat burglar'
WOW – by Warner's definition, I am not a natural born citizen either. I guess my father's 14 years of U.S. Army service doesn't help me because my mother is Korean born. Or maybe I'm not a natural born citizen because she became a citizen 5 years after I was born. Thank goodness I have no plans on running for President.
Rep. Wagoner appeared to be dazed and confused. How could he not be qualified to tell you what HE believes?
@Anderson All the rights you mentioned are so precious.
Yay... Maya Angelou, congratulations on the Medal of Freedom!!!
Interesting news about the new planet.
It is COMPLETELY OFFENSIVE to put that proven KKK leader/member's name on license plate... staring in the face of drivers who follow... and all that. The very fact that it would be proposed says a lot about that State.
Virginia in particular has been a very disappointing state from their utter lack of sensitivity to peaceful co-existence. Never forget that peaceful co-existence is an essential component of a successful democracy.
The more planets the merrier!
Wow, as a former submariner maybe I should go into running drugs.
I find the idea of Montana establishing their own rules regarding citizenship rather amusing. Are they seceding from the nation? These Birthers are certainly an odd bunch.
President Bush, Sr sure is becoming the grand old diplomat. "Read my lips..." – my favorite Bushism.
i think all mjj doctors should be on trail, as he was addicted to cosmetic surgery for the drugs...
Wow, first drug tunnels, now subarines..crazy
