MEDIA: "Obama birth issue was conspiracy nonsense, but Trump dossier scandal is totally legit."
Today | Me

Posted on 01/11/2017 12:29:49 PM PST by DiogenesLamp

Did you notice how the FBI, the CIA and the Mainstream media had absolutely no interest in verifying Obama's eligibility to be President, yet they seem to be bending over backwards to push this fake dossier about Trump?

Trump should just declare that Putin "is just a guy in the neighborhood."

The existing media wouldn't find it very amusing.

He should totally do it.

Draining the Swamp absolutely has to include the media and Trump’s off to a good start. Expose the fraudulent journalists for the ideological propagandists they are!

He told us he was born a British subject.
So without specifically saying so, he told us he was ineligible.
He relied on the GOP to make sure no one questioned him.
They had a bench full of ineligibles they wanted to run, Rubio, Cruz, Jindal, Haley and George P. Bush.

I love it. We finally have a President with the balls to backhand the media whore across the mouth.

The greatest problem this nation currently faces is that the New York Liberal Democrate "Elite" have a monopoly on broadcasting, and *they* decide what the American public should be told is fake or not.

I remember a day when local media or TV media was owned by local businessman. Now a large majority is owned and controlled by very few people in board rooms on the "Elite" Wall St.

I hope we are able to break this up somehow and return ownership of local medias more to local ownerships. Media people are still very liberal in their views but they would be more receptive to local flavors of politics, to survive, than they are now (ours is terribly liberal-biased now).

That sounds like an excellent idea. With thousands of different owners, the possibility of both sides getting access is greatly increased. Not so with these corporate monopolies. Too much government influence is wielded by the various wealthy cliques that own these airwave assets.

Surely these socialist advocates would be in favor of more power to the people and greater equality? Right? :)

That is certainly how they have done the most damage. Ignoring Hillary's record of corruption and psychotic behavior being but one of the latest and most objectionable examples.

Ignoring the utter filth and vileness that is the History of Obama is another. Ignoring Bill Clinton horrible past and history of molesting women is another still.

CNN has reported extensively on Obama’s eligibility.

No they have not. They have glossed over all the essentials and played to the fools gallery.

They concluded what any fair-minded person would conclude: birtherism is nonsense.

The effort to tarnish those people interested in insuring the eligibility requirements of article II is nonsense. This effort as been "otherized" as "birtherism", but that is just a tactic to discredit. (It's supposed to invite comparisons with "trutherism" which is indeed crackpot nonsense.)

A fair minded person, having looked at the available information must conclude that the salient questions surrounding Obama's legitimacy have not been answered.

One does not mount horrendous efforts to hide a document if that document is straightforward in it's provenance. One does not present a demonstrably fake document if one has a legitimate one.

When you refer to as a "fair minded person" what you really mean is another mindless drone of the popular hive-mind, the sort that would ordinarily be regarded as an ignorant moron on any other subject.

When I speak of a "fair minded person" I am referring to an objective free thinker of normal or above average intelligence, and who is aware of the relevant facts.

Back to you.

Page after page of reports.

The FACT that you trust CNN says a lot about you.

I’ll trust CNN on a story-to-story basis. But to say that the beleaguered news network gave Obama a total pass regarding real and legitimate concerns about his eligibility is absurd.

CNN, as well as much of the rest of the corporate media, has proven time and time again that they absolutely cannot be trusted but yet you still claim to trust them???

Like I said, the fact that you trust them at all says a lot about you.

The only thing absurd here is you claiming to still trust these traitors of American freedom and liberty.

Sorry you feel that way. My initial response was to Diogenes Lamp, a freeper of heady opinion and one who is very interested in presidential eligibility and homosexuality. As he’s made clear here on Free Repubic, he’s been studying homosexuality since the 1990s.

So what does that have to do with trusting news sources as you claim??? With CNN's anti-American, anti-liberty history, nothing should be trusted by them, ever, especially if you are here as a conservative.

You can trust them all you want but on a conservative site that absolutely has no trust in our corrupt globalist corporate media, it does say much more about you than you think. That was my point all along, not the deflection you claim from the other post.

Back to me? I have no response.

You never do, but yet you persist.

And I wouldn’t want to keep you from your homosexual studies.

I'm suspecting that dialogue with you is useful to that task as well.

Among many other issues of greater and lesser importance to me, but for some reason conversations with this fellow always seem to end up discussing the one thing or the other mentioned above. With Obama, I'm pretty sure the two things are connected.

As he’s made clear here on Free Repubic, he’s been studying homosexuality since the 1990s.

This is true, and i've learned quite a lot about them. One of the common characteristics of a certain flavor of homosexual is a tendency towards unnecessary drama.
