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.

MSNBC, known to take copy directly from the White House, has sent out Maddow to attempt to shame Romney into denouncing Trump in the best Alinsky fashion by making it politically incorrect to be associated with a "birther" like Trump (warning to all other public figures of over-the-top shaming if they dare to challenge Barry's eligibility).

Who names their son Rachel in the first place?

If Rachel Maddow is whining about it, Trump must be doing something right.

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

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'"

Commie usurper things are now coming into focus with the Arpaio investigation. The new blockbuster is that obama sr is NOT obama dad, it was a “cover” story. The mother ann dunham had traveled to kenya and had lil’ barry there. The real dad is frank marshall davis or paul robeson etc. 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”. He identified to the book publisher as born in kenya from 1992 through early 2007 when he ran for usurper of USA.

I’d like to hear Gov. Romney say: “Well, his official biography provided to his literary agent stated quite clearly he was born in Kenya and I haven’t heard anything from him to refute that, so you’ll have to take this matter up with the President.”

Oh please, please, please can we play name the nuttiest supporter of Obama or Romney? Obama wins by a long shot (and with a much longer list.)

Folks, Consider the source, Ms Maddow!!! No one watches and no one listens!!! end of story. Whar a butthead, deadbeat. And.....amazing, she actually believes she is smart. Sad piece of humnaity, just like Obama, useless.

Mitt is fixin to get burned.

Mitt Romney, All the brains and half the charm of Joe Biden.

Better yet, Romney should admit that he (Romney) is not certain that Obama was born in Hawaii until he sees a bona fide copy of the BC.

He should also make the statement that the entire nation has the right to know Obama’s, and any president’s, personal history.

[opentalk]

With the new proof of Obama marketing himself a a Kenyan born writer. He was the first birther, they should respond by throwing is back at him.

[oldbrowser]

Obama has failed to prove that he is a natural born citizen of this country. There are still many unanswered questions and missing records. The fake birth certificate the white house put up on their website is kind of suspicious. Also the fake draft card and social security card are questionable.

Undoubtedly Obama's records will be sealed for fifty years when he leaves the presidency. But the real shame will be on the failed journalists of the media when the truth eventually comes out.

Does this mean Mr. Maddow has changed his mind and no longer intends to vote for Governor Romney?

obama's ineligibility is the Trump card.

Pull that string and the entire unholy, progressive tapestry comes unraveled.

Of course, the left knows the danger and has fought tooth and nail to keep that loose string as short and as protected as possible.

Too bad for them such poorly woven crap won't stay together for long and one really good yank on that string and it's over. Nothing can stitch it together again.

Fools that they are, I've got to give them and their enablers here credit for keeping such a frayed mess together for this long.

Only true believers, money and fear can pull that off.

I was just doing last weeks NYTs crossword and one of the answers was “Hawaii”.

The clue?...”Obama’s Birthplace”

[opentalk]

Last time Trump was bringing up Obama's background his poll numbers started going down. People were listening, then Corsi was to release his book....Suddenly a PDF BC and Bin Laden was killed.

Seems they are trying to get out in front of this again. Corsi claims more info is coming, Trump is questioning again, Especially with Obama pamphlet.
