Louisiana Republican Flees Interview When Asked About Obama's Birthplace
yahoo news ^ | 7/30/2014 | Colin Campbell

Posted on 07/30/2014 10:54:23 AM PDT by detective

A Republican congressional candidate fled her interview with a major election-forecasting group after being asked why she believed global warming was a hoax and whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States, according to a new report in The Washington Post.

In the Post, David Wasserman, the House editor at the Cook Political Report, detailed his strange encounter with the "frightening" and "fact-averse" Louisiana State Rep. Lenar Whitney.

She terminates an ambush interview and she gets insulted and is accused of running away.

There is no reason to for conservatives to talk to the MSM. There is no upside.

Funny they didn’t post a video. Why would she “flee” for holding beliefs that most Americans hold? She wouldn’t. She left because the idiot liberal was wasting her time.

I agree, conservatives should ignore the alphabet news.

When asked if you think Obama was born in the United States, keep calm and answer that question with another question:

Why won't Obama unseal his college records?

“terminates an ambush interview”

Thats exactly right, no other reason pther to use it against her in the future. Same thing happened to Sarah Palin but she made the mistake of trying to be nice to ‘em......... Can’t do it, they’re scumbags.

What else could she be asked?

Views on contraception?
Age of the earth?
Exclusivity of Salvation through Christ?

I think the best reply would be:

Kenya? Hawaii? Chicago?

What difference does it make?

I slap my sides with laughter when a member of the Leftist media uses the term “Fact Averse” to describe someone else. What a hoot.

For this media we have today, there are no real questions that need to be asked of Obama. I mean, what could there be to clarify regarding him? He’s perfect... There’s only his haters who think there might be a problem with things. “I’m not going to feed into that!” LOL

His fraudulent birth certificate is rock solid to them. He bowing before foreign leaders, why it’s just the best thing ever. Him insulting our allies? It’s refreshing I tell ya. Him arming terrorists? Great idea! Adventurism by other large global powers? Well he can’t do anything about that, just because he’s withdrawing our fleet from the high seas. What do we expect from him anyway? We can’t be all things to all people.

And yet, his predecessors were able to keep a level head, a sense of order, and respect for the United States in tact, during their terms in office. It wasn’t too big a task for them.

So no, there’s only the “Fact Averse” Right. To these people everything Obama does is golden. Any questions of this, why the people have to be “Fact Averse”.

And so it goes with Obama and the three monkeys main stream media, hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil... unless it’s those “Fact Averse” people out there who see them all for who they are.

When being interviewed by the MSM ALWAYS get a list of the questions beforehand and draw up an agreement for the station manager and interviewer to sign beforehand where the agree to stick only to those questions. If they won’t sign it, it’s an ambush. Speaking from personal experience.

“The video they link to is brilliant. She’s very good. I can see why they hate her.”

Exactly. There is nothing “frightening” or “fact averse” about her. Why would she waste her time in an ambush interview with some leftist media type?

The fact that she terminated the interview instead of trying to win him over is a positive.

The republican leadership does similarly when it comes to Obama’s eligibility. They’ve been avoiding the issue since Obama first appeared on the scene. Ask a repub leader about Obama and he runs for a bed to hide under. Result: six years of coverup when both Obama and his wife have acknowledged o’s daddy was Kenyan. (O’s personal birth cert is an interesting diversion to be sure, but the repub leaders run away from that too). The blame is not just on Obama. The blame is on Boehner primarily ( and an amazingly well coordinated coverup in the courts).

“She scarrdy cat?”

No. Just the opposite. She terminated the ambush interviewer and the little media bitch ran crying to the Washington Post.

I like what she did.

At some point it may make sense to bail but generally a conservative candidate that can’t handle an interview without running away shouldn’t run for office. We need strong candidates that can get in their face and explain our positions even with hostile interviewers. Maybe that happened here I am not sure.

When asked if you think Obama was born in the United States, keep calm and answer that question with another question:

or you could ask:

"Why has he put forth [multiple] obviously fake birth certificates? What is he hiding? or

"It is incumbent upon HIM to prove he is qualified under The Constitution for the office he occupies. Not upon me to disprove it."

A better question:

Why did three Arab princes meet untimely deaths after it was discovered that they were tied to Al Queda?

if you’ve ever dealt with the MSM you have to know they are always working either on a news item of interest to the public or one side of a political issue or another, otherwise you wouldn’t be interviewed. She saw the writing on the wall when they lobbed that one at her. The MSM does that at some point of their interview if you don’t agree with who they worship; they lob a question at you that either way you answer it, you’re going to look bad. She saw the writing on the wall. Best to say nothing than to remove all doubt. I got ambushed once; never again. Pre-approved questions and no surprises on a legal contract or no dice.

Here’s what has the liberal MSM panties in a wad about her:
