CNN Places Spotlight on the 'Birther' Issue (Video)
Conservative Examiner ^ | 5/8/2010 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 05/08/2010 12:06:12 PM PDT by Welshman007

From reporter Bob Unruh at WND:

CNN, one of the mainstream media outlets that have either belittled or ignored the question of Barack Obama's eligibility to be president since before the 2008 election, tonight gave the topic a primetime spotlight as Anderson Cooper defended the computer-generated online image of a Certification of Live Birth that lists a 1961 Hawaii birth for the president.

Cooper invited onto his "360" program Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, an Army doctor who is facing court-martial because he has told the military he will not follow orders unless Obama can document his eligibility to be commander-in-chief.

As expected, Cooper relentlessly attempted to discredit Lakin using a variety of methods, one being an erroneous assertion that an online COLB--certification of live birth--is an 'official document.' It is not. Only the official birth certificate qualifies as 'an official document,' and that document has never been seen nor reproduced in any form.

In fact, Lakin's attorney so far has been denied access to the official Obama documents he needs in order to provide for an adequate defense of his client.

Why?

No one should need to know why doicuments are refused this defense attorney. The answer is simple. There is something there Obama doesnt want to show.

What that something is nobody knows except Obama and those in the Hawaii government who have looked.

There was another thread this morning that indicated that 1 in 7 democrats (15%) believe Obama was born in some other country. The percentages for independents and republicans were, of course, higher.

“As expected, Cooper relentlessly attempted to discredit Lakin...”

I had the misfortune of seeing that. Butt-Boy was absolutely inflamed and in full attack mode, constantly interrupting, as he was a few nights ago when questioning an AZ politician who supported the new anti-illegal law. I know...second time, shame on me...but I was flipping around when Fox became temporarily intolerable and figured I’d see what the opposition was peddling.

There is much more scrutiny directed toward those who want to see the proof than toward Obama, who, one would think, has the burden of proof of establishing his eligibility. The requirements ARE in the Constitution after all.

So, the communist news network is ramping up the attack? Interesting. Things getting hot legally for Obama?

Hey Cooper, it's simple:

What is He Hiding and Why?

If you were any kind of investigative reporter, you would be asking that question and also investigating his bonafides. I know, every thought you have is controlled by your handlers. How does it feel to be free? . . .

From AsiaTimesOnline
Feb 26, 2008

Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...

Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

Cooper’s fine debate was a joke...especially when the lawyer kept slapping him down...his little panty waist hissy fit would’ve been laughable if it wasn’t such pathetic journalism.
