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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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??

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

Who the heck knows?

Any honest person, candidate or otherwise, must admit that they reall do not know if Obama is a natural born citizen or not. Nobody has proved he is. Nobody has proved he isn’t.

The big news is that Trump has succeeded in making the issue mainstream and no longer fringe. Others now suddenly find the courage they previously lacked to raise the issue.

Never-the-less, possession is nine tenths of the law. Obama possesses the office.

Since the Wisconsin (Gov and budget chair) approach is so successfully winning support for our side, will the birther issue become a tactical distraction?

I parse Brad Knickerbocker’s screed as follows.

Clearly Palin and Trump are helping each other by tag-teaming Obama.

Media sense danger for Obama!! Media no like Obama adversary tag team!!

So media say both not credible.

Media fling its weak humor at Palin and Trump.

Haha!!

Media do voter thinking for voter!!

How to put this delicately— ok, the media is obsessively indifferent to reporting Obama’s background with accuracy. So it is the media itself who is not credible. The media should be ashamed into investigating Obama’s past, yet it parades around in its ignorance (yes you Brad Knickerbocker) and points ignorantly at others onto whom it has projected its own shortcomings.

How disappointing. However, after all, OTOH, these are the guys that went to j-schools, so at least we could be thankful someone did not hire them to do brain surgery or fly a passenger airline.

Thanks Brad! Keep up the good work by being merely a nuisance and thereby removing yourself from being an imminent danger to the public!!

:-)

Wow. I clicked on the site, read the article, and am now reading some 260-odd comments. I think it's correct and right to LURK ONLY. I won't click the "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" thingy -- why leave a trail? That's all that really is for. I won't post, because I'm not a regular reader of the publication and don't want to skew the view. I'm just there observing, and I hope that other FReepers do the same.

But read it. Brave the waters. Lurk, spy. It's very, very informative.

Who’s the kook? Gail Collins has been many things, mostly bad to mediocre, but funny is not one of them. She is the scribbler who advocated women leave their husbands after turning sixty to find themselves. That nutty statement reaches the far recesses of radical-feminist kookery.
