Joseph Farrah's speech at this Tea Party Convention this week brought the "Birther Movement" back into the forefront at least for a few days. At the convention Farrah said that the "Birther movement" was a key part of the Tea Party agenda, a thought that seemed to be rejected by most of the people at the convention. After his speech Andrew Breitbart and Farrah had a heated conversation about the speech and Brietbart's correct assertion that the birther argument is "not a winning issue.” (read more about their spat at Hot Air)
I guess I can be considered a "reformed birther," When I first started seeing the evidence during the campaign it made sense to me. That was until I saw the Barack Obama birth announcements that ran in local Hawaiian news papers. For those to be fake, Obama's mom would have to have seen into the future known he was going to run for president, and planted those announcements in 1961. The only other explanation was that someone at the DNC performed one of those Star Trek maneuvers, when they fly toward the sun to pick up speed, circle the sun and come back in the past. Since neither of those were rational explanations, right after the 2008 conventions, I published an anti-Birther post and took all of the other birth certificate stories of this site.
A story in today's Daily Beast caused me to remember where I first learned of the controversy surrounding the president's birth from disenfranchised Democrats, the PUMAs (Party Unity My Ass), former Clinton supporters who did not support Obama.

I actually assume no such thing. I assume all conservatives are doing what they can in whatever capacity they can to help. I simply commented on this issue at this time.
I’m not saying dont pursue it. But I do think it will taint the Tea Party movement. Many people have never heard of this and when they do they think “that cant be right - how could he be president for over a year - someone would have done something - right?”. It makes the Tea Party look like a bunch of conspiracy kooks. And of course, the MSM will pound away at that point to further discredit the Tea Party and those associated with the Tea Party. I think the Tea Party movement could have a big impact on future politics, especially with independents who are fed up with the current administration. Lets get elected officials who care about the eligibility of the clown in the White House. And then lets pursue it with a vengence.
Like I said, I dont believe the Tea Party is the time or place. But I do believe there will be a time and place. And I cant wait.
Nah, you don’t need any microfilm, microfiche, all you need is a few newspapers from that day, that have been authenticated, that show there is no listing of Obongo’s birth. tick tock
What are you waiting for?
