I watched Red Eye a couple of night’s ago, and five Republicans were making fun of Trump and birthers in general. They had HATE in their voices. I had to change the channel. Why won’t normally rational and reasonable people just take a look at the issue? I swear they’re afraid of being lumped into the Fruitcake pile.

She's married? Could've fooled me.

Definitely looks like she'd be at home in a parking lot full of bulldozers.

Is the vicious media attack on Trump a classic example of "kill" the bearer/messenger of bad news and the bad news will go away?

As I followed this Trump why-doesn't-Obama-show-us-his-long-form-birth-certificate controversy over the past few weeks, it finally hit me what was going on:

To me, this vicious attack on Trump by Obama friendly media people is a classic example of the centuries-old belief that if one kills the bearer/messenger of bad news, then the bad news will miraculously go away.

In this Trump Obama birth certificate controversy, Obama media supporters seem to believe that if they "kill" or destroy Trump by ridiculing his personal lifestyle, then the bad news about Obama that Trump is thrusting into the national spotlight will go away: Trump is helping spread the growing idea that there is NO Obama Hawaii long form birth certificate, and if there is such an Obama certificate, there is something on the long form birth certificate that is very damaging to Obama's political career and would prove conclusively that Obama has been a liar and a fraud all along.

For instance, the vicious attack on Trump's character by Obama friendly media goes something like this:

1. Trump's hair is so funny looking, so Trump's opinions concerning the lack of an Obama long form birth certificate has no value.

2. Trump is just looking for personal publicity to make himself even more famous than he already is, so Trump's opinions concerning the lack of an Obama long form birth certificate has no value.

3. Trump is in financial debt up to his ugly eyebrows, so Trump's opinions concerning the lack of an Obama long form birth certificate has no value so Trump cannot be trusted.

4. Trump has had too many wives, so Trump's opinions concerning the lack of an Obama long form birth certificate has no value, so Trump cannot be trusted.

5. Trump has been in and out of bankruptcy court several times, so Trump's opinions concerning the lack of an Obama long form birth certificate has no value, so Trump cannot be trusted.

6. Trump has made a lot of enemies in the business world because he became very rich by taking part in many shady business deals, so Trump's opinion concerning the lack of an Obama long form birth certificate has no value, and Trump cannot be trusted.

7. Trump's mother was born in Scotland so he might not even be eligible to run for president, so Trump's opinion concerning the lack of an Obama long form birth certificate has no value, and Trump cannot be trusted.

8. And on and on it goes. You get the picture on how media people friendly to Obama are attacking Trump's background and personality instead of focusing on the important part of Trump's message: Why won't Obama release his Hawaii long form birth certificate so that the public can examine it up close and in person and not have to rely solely on looking at it through a computer monitor?

9. All I can say to Obama's media supporters who are trying to destroy the bearer/messenger of Obama bad news named Trump: You go ahead and attack Trump all you want, but your attacks will not hide the essential disturbing question that will still continue to hang over Obama's 2012 presidential campaign: Why won't Obama release his Hawaii long form birth certificate and put this controversy quickly to rest?

Is there something on that long form birth certificate that would prove to the world that he is the liar and fraud that many of us know he is?

NYSLIMES is a little nervous hmmmmm???? LOL!

I find it humorous how the looney left has the gall to demean anyone on the right when they slobbered over a guy that is the biggest joke ever elected only because of his “melanin” count. Now Trump is trumping them at every turn, he’s a loose cannon, cannot be controlled by the “elites” and they are going batsh!t crazy! Too funny!

“Beck called Trump a “Showboat”.
**********

Funny considering Beck is a melodramatic phony. Whatever any and all these “talking heads” say doesn’t mean squat, and they are just p’od that someone is finally “off the reservation”. What a bunch of clowns, it’s no wonder the ratings for these obnoxious shows are dropping, who can stand listening to these imbeciles day in and day out. Trump is rustling a lot of feathers and it’s curious how BOTH SIDES are now piling on the anti Trump bandwagon.... Are they all in the satchel for the usurper? Hmmmmmmmmm...

Both sides would be shown negligent if the BC is ever exposed.

How will O’Reilly be able to say “I’m looking out for the folks” with a straight face any more?

Beck fails to see he’s a Carnival Cruiseliner.


LOL, so funny and oh so true. I’m done with Beck over this. He and O’Reilly deserved each other.
