The Obama birth certificate

Posted on 12/15/2008 4:41:09 PM PST by Coachm

Would like to hear some thoughts on why Rush, Sean and Mark Levin don't talk about this issue. It has obvious merit from the point that Obama has fought to keep it secret.

:-) Can you imagine the humiliation and the mileage some good candidates could get out of how corrupt, unethical and ignorant those pathetic democrats are to have allowed Barry to be nominated? They are the ones who should have vetted him.

Push for these new discovery laws. I like the legislative efforts to force future presidential candidates to show their Birth Certificate to be on the ballot. This will prevent Barry from having a Second term. We need to get this in as many states as possible. Particularly in states where Obama won.

the point of bringing up Hillary is that she was the one who had motivation to bring this issue up in December 2007. She did not do it. I do not speculate on why.

I did not mean to confuse the readers into thinking Hillary somehow is interested in this issue now.

She had to bounce Obama from the primary ballots. And this was a non-issue last winter.

some of us try to be brief, but if we fail to explain everything in detail, people assume we mean the opposite of what we are saying.

THAT IS MY POINT. THERE IS NO OTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WHO IS BEHIND THIS EFFORT WHICH EXPLAINS WHY IT IS DEAD. DEAD. DEAD.

What’s the big mystery? We’ve seen enough “old time” freepers out here ridiculing anyone who questions Obama’s eligibility, and freepers are supposed to be the hardcore right-wingers. If we have that many gutless suckers on this site, imagine how Rush and Hannity are going to feel playing to their much more centrist audiences.

If you say so.

Oh, by the way, welcome to Free Republic.

Maybe Rush did say something like that.

He did. Here is a summary of Rush quotes on the BC:

 
10/23/08
Who announces days in advance they're rushing to the side of a loved one who is deathly ill but keeps campaigning in a race that's said to be over, only to go to the loved one's side days later?  See, I think this is about something else.  You know what's really percolating out there?  I've been laying low on this because it hasn't met the threshold to pass the smell test on this program.  

This birth certificate business, this lawsuit that a guy named Philip Berg filed in Philadelphia in August for Obama to produce his genuine birth certificate and he still hasn't replied.  You've got a deathly ill grandmother, you are going to rush to her side a few days from now, when you first announced this, you're going to rush, you're going to hurry, you're going to make tracks, you're going to get over there because you don't want your grandmother to die before you got there like your mother did, but somehow you keep campaigning, you take three days to get over there, if he's left yet, and this birth certificate business, I'm just wondering if something's up.  I have no clue, and folks, I'm telling you, this has not reached the threshold until now, and it's popping up all over the place.  There are a lot of people now that are starting to speculate and be curious about this.  

I don't know, let's say for example that somebody does come up with proof that something's screwy with his birth certificate and something's screwy about the fact that he's allegedly a natural citizen, American citizen, but may not be, dual citizenship, born in Kenya, who knows, there's all kinds of stuff out -- so what?  What's going to happen this late in the campaign?  Do you think if it's proven that they're going to dump him?  That's not going to happen.

10/27/08
Let me just hit you between the eyes: It's a waste of time.  We can't prove it! When you can't prove something, you drop it.  It's a waste of time.  Now, the judge threw the case out in Philadelphia last week. A Mr. Berg had filed it and so forth.  Nobody was ever going to be able to prove it.  All there is is speculation.  Eight days speculation is not going to do anybody any good. It's not going to sway any independents. It's not going to change anybody's minds.  You know, the birth certificate thing, who knows? They may find out at some point, but you can't prove it, so it's a waste of time.  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_102708/content/01125109.member.html
 
10/30/08
I'm opening my own e-mail, and the e-mails that I am getting are getting a little nuttier, more so than usual.  And now they're starting to come in from smart people, people I know, people that are smart, insisting I focus on some issue that will have no impact on the election.  But they think it's a game-changer.  One of the big things is this birth certificate thing.  The birth certificate has been sealed by the governor of Hawaii, after Obama went to see his dying grandmother, who is still alive.  I know about the legal case that went on in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania with Mr. Berg and so forth, but, folks, it's a waste of time.  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_103008/content/01125104.member.html
 
10/30/08
That's why we all need to focus on voting, and I know there's so much anger, this birth certificate thing, whatever things there are that you think the media is hiding, this LA Times tape, let it get you to the polls, whatever it is that's got you irritated, let it get you to the polls.  That's what matters here.  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_103008/content/01125108.member.html

Yup, i thought i heard that he at leat mentioned it. but i disagree with him on three points:

-”I’ve been laying low on this because it hasn’t met the threshold to pass the smell test on this program.”

- We can’t prove it! When you can’t prove something, you drop it. It’s a waste of time.

-What’s going to happen this late in the campaign? Do you think if it’s proven that they’re going to dump him?

First of all, while i understand the smell test, it isnt dispositive of the case. Maybe his smell test is good enough for him to not discuss it on his show, but unless he defines what the ‘threshold” is for his smell test, it is just him blowing smoke.

Second, to say “we cant prove it” is incorrect. If the authntic BC was produced in court, the issue would be proven one way or the other. IT really boils down to a simple evidenciary proceeding. It CAN be proven, one way or the other- but not as long as the documents and truth is concealed.

Last of all, and most disturbing, is his assessment that EVEN IF it were proven, nothing would be done about it. Then why bother having a Constitution any more?

One of my crazy dreams was for Rush and or Sean Glen Mark Laura et al (hey FOXNews) to actually hire their own private investigators and have them do serious digging. Right after 0bama won the nomination.

It seems that if any of them, certainly if Rush had talked about this, even w/o any investigation, the others would have eventually done the same and the MSM would have had a tougher time staying quiet.

I’ve listened to Rush since the first month he went national in AUG of 1988. I love the man, but his silence on this is very disheartening.

Maybe they are smarter than we think, and know that it isn’t quite “time” yet for this dish to be pulled out of the oven?

To formally raise the issue prior to Congress' comfirmation of Obama would create a deadline by which he must either (1) present documentation showing he is legitimate, (2) be disqualified for failing to show documentation, or (3) be allowed in despite failing to show documentation. Amendment 20 would allow a means by which none of those things would have to happen on any sort of timetable. If Obama never wants to release his documentation, he could remain Presdient-Elect for four years without having to show it, and never have to actually be disqualified. Biden would serve as Acting President in the mean time.

How would that not be the most elegant solution?

It's very simple, really. They don't talk about it because it doesn't have any merit. It's all a bunch of tinfoil hat nonsense.

Just about every claim of the birthers is debunked here:

If Pravda is covering it I really don’t see why the local media shouldn’t.

At the very least, they could at least mention that there are dozens of law suits in progress but, no, the only time even that’s mentioned (and generally misleadingly) is when the court rejects something.

If you lost your IRA and 401K or job this fall and ask why
If you think this election was staged
If you think this global warming bs is a giant fake
If you know the News is managed
If you see Open borders and mass illegals and say why
You are getting close to understanding what is about to happen to our country and world.

Guess this doesn’t put me on the list of the ones to keep....I see ALL the above.

Interesting, and I’m bookmarking it.

Dont know why the talk heavies havent indulged the BC issue. Part of it is they dont want to jump on the wagon before the SCOTUS agrees to do something affirmatively about it. If that ever happens, I’d expect they’d state why they hadnt spoken about it until then.

Also, it is possible that this just isnt a big deal to them in the context of the election results, and before anyone flames that, consider- did the DOJ properly police Acorn during the campaign? Are the borders being properly guarded? Are illegals being deported? Is franken trying to steal the election? Did the dems lie about who is responsible for the F&F fraud and subsequent financial meltdown? Why is there no outcry about millions of $ earmarked for Acorn in the bailout? Why arent Odumbo’s illegal campaign contributions coming under scrutiny? what about the $800,000 he gave to an Acorn subsidiary?

Why arent the talkies going on about all those transgressions?

Why arent people shouring about it all from the rooftops?

I dunno...

I agree with you. The fact that is practically dead silence from the usual conservative (or sort of conservative) commentators is very odd.

Nothing.

Fear? Money passed hands? Threats of no money in the future? Fear of the Fairness Doctrine? Fear of looking stupid?

One possible reason. The 0bama thing is such an intertwined, deeply rooted octopus - it’s not just no birth certificate, no records of ANYTHING, maybe not even a US citizen! - but his trips to Pakistan, his connection with Ayers, Wright, hiring NOI guys, connection to communists, member of the whatever that socialist party is called, former crack head, probable bisexual acts, connection with Chicago thuggery - the list is a mile long.

This is not just a little “where’s his birth certificate” issue. Opening it opens a can of worms that has lots of worms. Bringing him down would bring many, many others with him. Maybe some people are afraid of being connected with those connected with him.

I think maybe some people have received threats. Do I have any personal knowledge about that? Haha! No way, I’m nothing and nobody. Just intuition.

curiosity is a leftist pretending to be a regular freeper.

S/he is a leftist troll. The site s/he linked to merely links to other websites defending 0bama such as Media Matters (”debunking eeevil conservatives”) and FactCheck and Fight the Smears - 0bama’s own websites.

My only question to curiosity is:

Are you a volunteer 0bama bootlicker, or paid? If paid, hourly or a salary? ACORN or transition team?

And folks, check it out for yourselves, curiosity posted the idiot bootlicking 0bama website as a thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2151204/posts#comment
Refutation of Obama Birther Crackpottery

So, anyone who doesn’t lick 0bama’s boots in quivering anticipation of his impending rule, is a crackpot.
