Some conservative commentators have applauded Donald Trump for challenging President Barack Obama on his birth certificate. Conservative author Ann Coulter isnt one of them.
On Monday nights Hannity on the Fox News Channel, Coulter said the birther conspiracy has been long debunked by other conservative outlets.
Well, I think maybe Ive been watching too much Charlie Sheen because Donald Trump seems perfectly sane to me, Coulter said. I dont 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 havent been paying attention and dont 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 wont 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 Trumps Pierre Salinger moment, Coulter said. You cant 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 dont 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 wont 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.

you know, i am agreeing with you here. i am a huge coulter fan, but wow has she veered left in the last year or so or are my lying eyes/ears playing tricks on me?
Obamma's lifelong actions, ambitions, associations, motives, real stated goals versus revised ones for sale to the public, family disfunction, foreign influence, religious indifference toward all but one, and proclivity for lies and deceit have shown me exactly who the guy is. I know who he listens to. I know who his bosses are.
“Trump could be dangerous if he pulls this 3rd party crap.”
Trump is a registered Republican.
You don’t get invited to the high-level cocktail parties, soirées and confabs if you’re a birther.
It’s called a lifelong struggle with bulemia and anorexia.
It tells me that Ann Coulter is a sellout and a fake.
She's wound up on the wrong side of issues that are important to me, far too often in the last couple of years. But her moronic statements about Obama's bc are a new kind of low. They're intellectually vapid, and completely dishonest.
That's the last straw for me. I'm done with her.
Ann is another elitist of the DC cocktail party circuit.
Never have liked her phony, snobbish demeanor.
I don’t trust Trump on this issue. He was a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton and has given Rahm Emanuel money for his mayoral race. He’s also had ties with Soros.
Trump is purposefully saying things that conservatives want to hear. If we ignore his past associations and contributions, and continue to support him, we will be no better than Obama supporters.
The younger Ann Coulter from a year or more ago would want us to apply her beautifully crafted habits of logical criticism to the older Ann Coulter of today.
I think she is handling this topic the right way. If Coulter comes out and jumps on board with Trump it will peel away the credibility Trump has gained from the citizens. Coulter is a polarizing figure and if she starts to side with Trump it will make many think its a crazy right-wing idea. Trump has single handedly pushed Obama against the wall. Above any other national or international story this one is the lead. Obama will be forced to answer the BC question, because it is not going away. It has outlasted the Japanese disaster, Libya and the budget deal. To Power Up you have to Trump It.
National Guard out in force to stop the violence: Leads to ...
Martial Law, complete economic upheaval...follow the logical progression
Which leads to the inevitable question of whether this was by design. Back during the primary Dame Hillary was the front runner since 2004 and nobody even knew who BO was until people started fainting at his speeches. Then he was pumped up to near godhood by the slavish press and he rode the wave all the way to the White House. His policies and the shove it down your throat methodology caused the Tea Parties to rise up so the Leftist Revolutionaries thought they could get their riots in the streets that would allow them to declare martial law and "stop the violence" they had promulgated. The riots from the Right have not happened.
Could the Left have put their puppet in office just for this moment? Could the Soros crowd be waiting to reveal the BC proving that BO is illegally in office so it will be the riot trigger they have been wanting?
I know this makes me sound like Glenn Beck's insane cousin but with this bunch any wacko theory seems plausible.
Must be
For someone who wrote “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” this placid reaction to the investigations of Corsi, Cashill and others to potentially the USA’s greatest scam - is disturbing.
Sometimes paranoia results from valid concerns
Pushing 40? She turns 50 this year!
I can’t in all honesty say that I’d doubt it. But on the chance that he is ‘only’ a more terrestrial evil, I’ll use another of my favorite movie quotes...
“Some men aren’t looking for anything logical.
They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.” - Alfred, Bruce Wayne’s Butler”
To me, that sums up this administration perfectly.
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.”
I question whether Brooks and Frum were ever conservatives. Noonan realizes that she must please her liberal masters or be “on the street.” Both Noonan and Coulter are insanely jealous of Sarah Palin.
Color me skeptical. In three years of discussing this topic on FR, you're the first person I've ever seen make that claim.
Perhaps you should describe your COLB. It may be very different from the document that Barry produced.
As stated in the post; the text was taken directly from the WND article cited. Perhaps, you should query the article’s author, Chelsea Schilling?
And BTW since you go by the handle “cookcounty,” I don’t need a tutorial on “The Chicago Way” - I am just blocks from Manny’s and know firsthand how things get done.
Oh, I’m sure design has everything to do with it. The big question is Who is the designer? Quite a few possibilities there and Soros certainly is one of the better ‘candidates’ for that ‘honor.’
“For someone who wrote High Crimes and Misdemeanors this placid reaction to the investigations of Corsi, Cashill and others to potentially the USAs greatest scam - is disturbing.”
I totally agree. She gives Obama a pass on High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Absolutely; therefore the Uberlib lovers like Bill Mahr and Andrew stein!
Evenso, I never understood how could she stomach such relationships?
Disgusting, to say the least.
