Maddow Challenges Romney’s Use Of Trump While He Insists Obama Is A ‘Kenyan Usurper’

Donald Trump is many things, but in the political world, he has made his recent name on being a birther. This argued Rachel Maddow last night, giving him credit for being a great asset to Mitt Romney’s campaign but questioning the morality of having a birther be a great asset to one’s campaign. What to do, Maddow asked, when “the single best known household name to speak up” for you also thinks the President is a “Kenyan Usurper”?

“Nobody can be responsible for the views of all their supporters,” Maddow noted, arguing that if you, the viewer, had wacky beliefs and also liked Romney, that wasn’t really his problem. “But Donald Trump is not you– he is a prominent part of the Romney campaign.” Romney, she concluded, was “raising money off of Donald Trump… while Donald Trump is simultaneously preaching that President Obama is secretly not really the President,” and those two facts are not severable.

Who names their daughter Stanley?

“Then after Mitt gets elected, I want to see a vigorous investigation by the AG.”

Corsi claims that in mid-June, Arpaio will drop an eligibility bombshell so huge that it will break through the MSM blockade currently preventing inatentive American average citizens from becoming aware that Barry's BC was forged.

Barry may try to “wag the dog” with an attack on Iran do derail the Arpiao Posse, just as he did by holding off on whacking Osama until the killing could be used to deflect damage from Corsi’s last book. But a tipping point may be reached with the next Arpaio presser. Stay tuned!

I’m finding it a bit hard to believe that Dunham would travel all the way to Kenya (not in the service of the U.S. government) to give birth to a kid who had an American father.

If these items are fake (birth certificate, draft card, Social Security card) then BO can be charged with wire fraud (18 U.S.C. 1343), since he was using these things to solicit campaign contributions.

Let’s see no we have a faggy excuse for womanhood defending a faggy illegal potus who was not even born here against one of the few lone voices not afraid to tell the truth!
I guess “strange” is in the eye of the beholder.

Like her employer, the militant lesbian is a domestic terrorist. Plain and simple... And I think she relishes in that role.

Did Maddow challenge Chris Hayes when he made his shameful comment about being uncomfortable with fallen soldiers being called heroes ?

There are no words to describe such a sickening comment.

Thanks for the ping. The born-in-Kenya booklet really bothers them; otherwise, the WH and their pet ‘journalists’ would give it a good leaving alone. Trump bothers them too, because he is smart and savvy in the use of media to shape opinion. The combination of that damning booklet, Trump taking up the cause and Apaio refusing to back off must be causing naked panic in the WH. No wonder Obama is starting to act and speak more erratically. It's going to be hard for even Jarrett to keep him glued together through Nov. If Mitt hurts Obama’s feelings in the debates, look for a major public meltdown.

You should be a political consultant. You are very good.

I think you’ve got it right, i.e. that Obamao is the original birther since he’s the one that allegedly claimed to be born in Kenya. Personally, I think that he was born in Hawaii, but used the false claim to get advantages for himself. Hey Confused Won, so show us your college entrance applications, financial aid applications, selective service records, social security records and original summary biography for that book and then we’ll see the truth. Until then, Usurper is the best title for you.

Ridicule is all they've ever really had. The smart ones use it in hopes of forestalling any honest, in-depth fact-finding investigation. The stupid ones use it because they think it makes them look smart and cool. To those of us who see ridicule as the left’s admission that this issue could demolish Obama, the MSM and the Dem party, it's ineffective. We keep our eyes on the facts. Every new one that comes out damages Obama more--and as his popularity sinks, this will prove to be more, not less, the case.

Obama will not walk away from the born-in-Kenya brochure unscathed. It undercut him fundamentally, but it will take time for the effects to be fully seen and felt. The damage has been done, however, and there's no putting that genie back into the bottle. His problems will only get worse from here.

Who names their son Rachel in the first place?

The same sort of person who names their daughter Stanley...

[Art in Idaho]

Obama was Soetoro at Occidental college, went to pakistan for many months and returned as “barack obama kenyan”, this is when his hawaii birth records were “updated”.

I know I'm late to the party on this but a google search of 'barry soetoro occidental college' revealed This. All kinds of info that Soetoro was his name at Occidental and he probably got foreign student aid with the Soetoro name.

Who is Obama?

[Chgogal]

Rachel, how many econ classes did The Won take? What were his grades? How many socialist/Alinsky classes did he take? Just askin.

[Tennessee Nana]

Also, when asked about his own opinion on Obama being born in Kenya or Hawaii or wherever, he needs to reply;
“My thoughts on this matter are still ‘evolving’”

You are expecting Willie mitty to Flip flop on what he has said in the past ???

Anything is possible with Willie...

But up to now Willie Mitty has mocked the birthers and claimed that Obama is eligible to be POTUS...

I used to believe Obama was born in HI. I thought there was a birth record of some kind—maybe a home birth--and something embarrassing on it, such as his name being listed as Barry Steve Dunham.

I don't believe that any more. The evidence is too strong on the Kenya side. First, I don't think the literary agency would have taken Obama’s word for it. Since being the first Kenyan born Pres. of the Harvard Law Review was crucial to the hefty advance they awarded [to an unknown writer w no previous publishing credits], they would have checked it out.

Second, Obama as an adult thought HI was in Asia. This is a mistake a Kenyan would make, but that a native-born Hawaiian wouldn't.

Third, no one—no one on the planet—remembers Stanley Ann getting married, going to the hospital and having Little Barry, or bringing him home. If it really happened in HI, someone would have stepped forward by now—probably far more than just one.

Obama was off by 3 wks (20 days) in calculating the date of his own B-Day. Have you ever announced the date of your B-Day, and missed by 3 wks? The only sane, non moronic adult who would make such a mistake is a person unsuccessfully juggling two B-Days: the real one and the fake one.

Obama is using the BC# of the dead baby Virginia Sunahara. Her brother had every right to see her original LF BC, but HI refused him. They cannot allow him to tell the world Obama stole his dead sister's BC#.

One week, and one week ONLY, is missing from the National Archive record of foreign arrivals to HI. It just ***happens*** to be the week of Obama’s so-called birth—Aug 4 1961. How and why did this One Week go missing??? It's not a coincidence; it's the week Stanley Ann brought her non-newborn home from Kenya.

How and why is Obama using the SS# of Connecticut? He never lived or worked there, and has no reason not to have been issued a HI #.

Why do Abercrombie and Trump agree: no hospital in HI has a record of Obama’s birth?

There's more, but you get the idea. [There was also a gov. official in Kenya who confirmed Obama was born there. This is on tape.] Add it all up, and the conclusion is obvious. The truth will come out. Unfortunately, Little Barry has already done his damage, and we are the ones who will pay. Shame on the congress for not doing its job.

[KTM rider]

It is imperical fact that Obama is not eligible to be president

the socialist republicam party has no spine and the communist democrat party is complicit

neither wants to address this issue because neither is interested in defending the consitution, their goal is to twist the constitution to their advantage at subjugating us all into submission

[FrdmLvr]

ROTFLMAO!!! Line of the week!

[commonguymd]

Damn you’re funny sometimes!

LMAO

[Digger]

All Romney has to say is we are still in a free country and Donald Trump has the right to his own opinions.

Since when are we a free country & since when can we express our own opinions. Does PC come to mind?
