Did Sarah Palin just join Donald Trump as a ‘birther’? (CSM goes all in for Obama)

Actually, she has raised questions about Mr. Obama and his eligibility in the past. I'm surprised Brad didn't Google that.

[4rcane]

I dunno how you can claim she’s a birther when she just said, she believe Obama is born in Hawaii since his name was posted in the local newspaper. She was just curious as to why OBama would spend $2 million to hide his birth certificate

I'm surprised Brad didn't Google that.

I know I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open.

[Menehune56]

From the article: “Many Americans” may be interested in whether Obama was born in Hawaii – probably about the same number who hear black helicopters just over the horizon.

I've poll numbers on the question at 30-60% who express some level of doubt about Obama's life history so it's hardly a fringe issue. Typical Alinsky tactic.

[wku man]

She told Fox this morning that she thought the Obammunist was born in Hawaii, but she was curious what other (damning) information might be on his actual birth certificate.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Aside from that - why should anyone consider her a serious journalist? why he should be taken seriously as a presidential contender ... Why didn't she check out the 'obvious' before barry was a candidate? We all knew his father wasn't a USA citizen, thus, barry could not fulfill the Constitutional requirements as president. It wouldn't have been a hard task for her to do it, either - so any comment on anyone being 'serious' about anything should not come from her pen. She failed at doing the ordinary.

Sounds like the percentage of Americans "who express some level of doubt" is about the same as the percentage of "climate scientists" who joined "the consensus of opinion" about man-made global warming.

[2ndDivisionVet]

They accused her of MURDER because her SarahPAC website “targeted” a certain Arizona congresswoman’s district. Do you really think there’s anything they won’t do to destroy her?

[CharlesWayneCT]

No. She has never bought into the birther conspiracy. She simply said she was fine with Trump investigating it. She has said before that she didn’t buy it, and thought it was not the important thing to worry about.

But she has always been respectful of those who wanted to pursue it.

[4rcane]

Palin was simply acknowledging that there a Birthers out there like Trump, who she respectfully disagree with. She was being diplomatic about it, which CSM view as somehow an endorsement of his view. Palin is not in a habit of bad mouthing others unless they start attacking her first

[ReneeLynn]

Sarah Palin- Damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. Now whatever Trump does or says is her doing as well.

[Rational Thought]

I don't like the term “Birther”.

Can't we think up a derogatory term for describing the Obama worshiping media, like “The Fantasists” ?

[aimhigh]

When I see Trump go after Soros, then he’ll gain some credibility.

[SAJ]

How about “JournoPimps”?

[Oldpuppymax]

Yeah...those people who run around looking for FACTS and TRUTH are really annoying, aren’t they CSM. Is that why you never bother with it yourselves??

[Scanian]

“Typical Alinsky tactic”

You know, that just goes to prove the paucity of ideas that the left has to work with.

That Alinsky jazz might have worked pretty well in the Chicago stockyards during the ‘50’s and ‘60’s but to try to take that childish nonsense and expand it to include the entire American voting public is pretty damn dumb.

The lefties had better come up with a new playbook because they are fast becoming a laughingstock everywhere except in slums, colleges, and union meetings.

[snowsislander]

Can't we think up a derogatory term for describing the Obama worshiping media, like “The Fantasists” ?

How about "credulists"? It's a real but obscure neologism describing adherents to Swinburne's credulity principle, which I believe is a fair reference with regard to the MSM and their Obama.

[Don Corleone]

but she was curious what other (damning) information might be on his actual birth certificate.

That it was from Kenya? That his father was NOT Obama? That he was (and still is) a bastard? Many interesting and potentially damning tidbits could be concealed on that document.

[dforest]

If you can say she was a birther before she was not a birther and is now a birther.

Who the heck knows?

[Siena Dreaming]

She was just curious as to why OBama would spend $2 million to hide his birth certificate

And THAT is the question which will win this thing for us if we can put it front and center.

But even useful-idiot liberals will be curious (if the fact is pounded) about WHY Obama has SPENT SO MUCH to keep the long-form from being made public.
