I’ve suspicions their reluctance is due to threats that their FCC licenses will be yanked if they tread into the ineligibility swamp.
Those radio/TV broadcast talkers are intelligent enough that it is impossible to accept their uniform condemnation of we birthers as the result of lucid thinking. That uniformity is itself a red flag. Old and trite - but true: they protest too much. No one - not a single one of them, [except Rush, ever so hesitantly, squeamishly] has ever shown even the slightest curiosity, or vague wondering.
Their reaction has been uniform: hostile, militant ridicule and vilification. They - uniformly - react as if they’ve gotten an electric shock. They uniformly OVERreact - and that tells me they’re literally afraid to speak of it, or to be suspected of even thinking of speaking of it. And that uniformity of reaction - OVER reaction - is absolutely not normal. They ARE afraid.
If Barry’s FCC threatened to yank their broadcast licenses - they’d be done, kaput, out of business. Pretty intimidating prospect - and a heavy kudgel over their heads. Would Barry, holder, FCC do it? In a heartbeat!
Well considered. Thank you for the perspective.
