Some conservative commentators have applauded Donald Trump for challenging President Barack Obama on his birth certificate. Conservative author Ann Coulter isn’t one of them.
On Monday night’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel, Coulter said the “birther” conspiracy has been long debunked by other conservative outlets.
“Well, I think maybe I’ve been watching too much Charlie Sheen because Donald Trump seems perfectly sane to me,” Coulter said. “I don’t know where he gets this $2 million Obama has spent to keep his birth certificate — he posted his birth certificate on his web page. I am glad that Donald Trump is bringing it up so that people who haven’t been paying attention and don’t know that the American Spectator, Human Events, Fox News – you know, every conservative outlet has already shot down this rumor, which by the way, was started by the Hillary Clinton campaign.”
Coulter said she was unclear as to why the so-called long-form birth certificate had more validity than the other birth certificate Obama has produced. She noted that reputable conservative media outlets won’t touch the story any more and it is regularly reported on by liberal outlets.
“Now they will have a chance to find out this is Donald Trump’s Pierre Salinger moment,” Coulter said. “You can’t believe everything you read on the Internet. Obama has produced his birth certificate. There were announcements that ran in two contemporaneous Hawaiian newspapers at that time. The head of the Hawaiian medical record has announced I have seen the long-form you all want. I don’t know why the long form is considered more credible than the short form. They are both from the same office. The State Department accepts the short form or as we call it the birth certificate. Hawaii accepts the birth certificate short form. So, I mean, it is a conspiracy theory that won’t die on the Internet, but every responsible, conservative organization to look at it and shot it down, which is why you hear it being talked about exclusively on the liberal cable stations.”

Coulter is a RomneyBOT, and therefore protects
Obama as necessary under her Master’s orders.
Coulter has sold out. I’m not sure why but she is now the premier Birther-Basher among the former conservatives. No more Coulter books for me. Bye-Bye-Coulter.
$2 million? Pretty close - from a 2009 WND article:
President Obama has paid nearly $1.7 million to his top eligibility lawyer since the election.
Obama for America, Obama’s 2008 political campaign, merged with the Democratic National Committee in January and is now known as Organizing for America. The grass-roots army that some refer to as “Obama 2.0” is still collecting financial contributions.
Federal Election Commission records for “Obama for America” show that the lobby organization has paid international law firm Perkins Coie exactly $1,666,397.01 since the 2008 election.
The most recent sum, $314,018.06, was listed in Obama for America’s October Quarterly report filed with the FEC.

Again I post:
Ya gotta kinda wonder about a “conservative” women who has maybe .5% body fat and is pushing 40 with NO male prospects. Anyone think that “Annie” is gettin kinda old and cranky. I think that she is gettin kinda wierd.
Every “conservative talking head” reaches the APEX OF LIBERALISM upon a certain age...
David Brooks, David Frum, Ann Coulter.Peggy Noonan. They become RINOS at a certain age because they simply do not have the fire that true conservatives have.
They are simply tired of fighting brain-dead libtards.
When are we going to find out if Ann has been a tranny all this time, or not?
Yes...Ann is a co0nfirmed and serious Romneybot. She can’t be trusted to treat anything trump is saying truthfully. That’s sad because I used to admire her.
And so another ‘conservative’ has abandoned the ability to think critically.
Well, at least I have her books from a time when she did display that ability. Can’t imagine I’ll buy any more if this is the way she processes ‘logic’ now.
Why would Trump be announcing this stuff? He knows something.
If he comes public with some information, he’s going to make people look very stupid. Of course, until he does so, he’s going to have a bunch of skeptics.
I'd like for Ann to explain Governor Abercrombie's statement that the BC doesn't exist in Hawaii's records.
Notice what she DOESN’T talk about: his cover-up of ALL his education records from k-12 to university... all of it.
Interesting, Ann. The Ann Coulter I USED to know would have spotted this TREMENDOUS FLAW in your defense of Obama’s eligibility.
But the NEW Ann Coulter is brain dead. Is it the result of hanging too close to Romney?
Romney could be called “4 more years” as well, same as Huckabee.
GOP runs either of these losers, Obama wins.
And that goes for a few more, McCain, Newt, you get the idea.
No, she has been openly begging Chris Christie to run for several weeks now.
I just heard the ABC top of the hour news on the radio. Jake Tapper reported that Republican officials are concerned about “their” candidates having to respond “to this nonsense”.
Bad enough that one major political party has no interest in the truth, but both major political parties?
She’s pushing FIFTY, not 40. She was born Dec. 8, 1961.
The wtar they carried for him turned out to be a bucket of crap. He's more old-time corrupt and guarded than Nixon, Rostenkowski, and Bladgoyovich all wrapped into one. His hope and change dogma turned out to be Spend, bomb, insult American arrogance, and Tax us into two classes and destroying the middle one.
If the media lets the truth be told on Obamma, we will no longer listen to one single word from the television or printed lies in the press. That would mean Activia Yogurt would go unsold and that Chrysler couldn't sell cars imported from Detroit.
Well, we’re not going to beat Obama on the real issues that matter because our freakin’ idiot Republican cowards keep caving. Hell, might as well sling some mud...
