Perhaps I'm missing the "gist" of the argument here, but clearly RS is correct when stating that the "two citizen parents" argument for one to be a "Natural Born Citizen" was clearly mentioned well before Barry was elected...or selected at the DNC for that matter. Perhaps not a firestorm of conversation here on FR, but doing a simple search with Google for:

two citizen parents "natural born citizen" between the dates of Jan 1, 2008–Aug 24, 2008 gives (according to Google) "About 21,900 results" with many familiar sites listed.

Granted, there are more than likely duplicates, and many/most are probably dealing with John McCain's eligibility questions...but clearly the issue was being discussed early in 2008 regardless that the state run media clammed up on the issue once it moved from McCain to Soetoro.

No, he is clearly incorrect. The two-citizen-parent argument did not emerge until after the election. As LorenC pointed out, the post Red Steel produced is NOT making that argument. It's a comment on a blog that was claiming Obama's mother was too young to pass on her US citizenship to her son even if he was born in Hawaii.

No it was not. I defy you to find a single example prior to November of 2008. The hits you got on Google refer to something else.

That was the argument and a silly one. I don't see the relevancy since Berg's law suit was based on Obama being born overseas, and the dubious Obama COLBs published on the Internet on June 12th and again on or about August 2nd took up the issue in Summer of 2008. Those two issues took up most of the air-time about Obama's eligibility.

It seems to be Loren and Ms. Un-curious contention that since the '2 citizen parents' argument was not at the forefront at that time, the issue was made up out of whole cloth.
