'Birthers' have become respectable

This would carry more weight if it wasn't coming from World Net Daily.

World Net Daily may be sensationalistic at times, but they have championed the cause of internet alternate news from the very beginning.

The biggest thing WND did was challenge the Clinton Administration and Congess regarding the credentialing of the press. We learned from WND's crusade that a small cabal of press corps insiders determined who got WH day passes and who got permanent WH press passes.

WND was being denied passes because of Paul Sperry's reporting early reporting on White House emails and the downgrade of the White House phone system, as well as embarrassing Clinton during an childrens's Easter egg event. As a result, WND was denied daily press passes to the daily briefings. WND complained, and demanded a change to the way that WH accreditation was determined.

They won.

Only because you and some others keep saying so.

WND is a respectable site and conservatives should not knock one of the few places that allows conservative perspectives.

Since it is now coming from the dim gov of HI, I guess it is not only coming from WND.
