It’s the Chicago way.

Reluctant to help The One, then she promptly died, of cancer, right after having her hip replaced...

I think you're both right, but it would be ironic that if Obama's efforts to hide his crime was what eventually brought him down in the end.

Wasn't that what prompted Nixon resign?

I think that's the angle the Sheriff's Posse is taking.

We have crossed over to having a dictator several months ago.

I agree...we are entering tyranny. Since 2008 I've been worried that zero won't leave the WH voluntarily - regardless of a fraud riddled election. These people are monsters. We can't stay nice and still win.

"...the White House is intimidating, in a systematic way, the mainstream media and if any broadcasters dare go into this birther story, they’re going to risk FCC investigations… people are going to have careers ruined… thrown off the air.”

This is precisely what FDR created the FCC for. FDR had his own "troublesome priests" in the media (radio back then)and he used the FCC vigorously against them.

“I wonder what folks think about this story posted on the Drudgereport today.”

Highly believable. I know the mentioned town, school, train and neighborhood from the mentioned time frame like the back of my hand. A person of color walking the mile from the train to the Ayers would have really stood out.

I hope so. I can take Obama being what he is, what's freaking maddening is how weak our so called leaders in the GOP are.

Only if there is one congresscritter without sin, without a family with a death wish; not likely.

The DNC media isn’t going to report anything about Obama’s real past. It isn’t their job. Their job is to defend Obama, and attack anyone who opposes him.

I would think that threats against the media wouldn’t work unless they have stuff in their background that makes them black-mailable. Stuff like distorting facts and the truth as well as being a knowing party to fraud.

Now we know why Hitler rose to power. Everyone who could have/should have opposed him was gutless.

If all these threatened media people - or even a portion of them - together made these threats public, they would nullify the threat.

But no, they are unprincipled cowardly traitors.

And just one day before the election.

What about threats endangering their lives or their families? That could make someone shut up pretty fast.

I wonder what folks think about this story posted on the Drudgereport today.

I think it is worthless, in the legal sense. (Getting my flame proof suit ready...)

Drudge is reporting that a man who is likely elderly was told by Mary Ayers that they were helping a foreign student. The type of help was not specified, but he "assumed" that it was financial. Further, he didn't recall the student's name, but "it was a 'strange name' that he could not remember, even though at the time it sounded African to him." He thought he met that same student later, based on the fact that a young black man came to the Ayer's home to thank them for help with his education. The postman "associated" this man with the foreign student the Ayer's had helped. Years later he became convinced this was 0bama.

There are so many ways this will be ripped up in court I'd be surprised if the lawyers try it. Oh wait, given what Orly has pulled in the past, I won't be surprised.

"If true and ordered by the White House, serious grounds for impeachment?"

Well, just ask (rhetorically) "What if Nixon would have done that?"

I wonder how many young black men the Ayers were helping with their college education?
