Thank you. Just finished reading the long interview and will wait now to see how all of this develops. We must be ever vigilant.
See #56; that one worked for me just now (2:26am CST)
Oops, you found it.
Thank you for the link.
Thanks anyway for taking the time to ping me to the link!!
You’re welcome. Apparently I wasn’t fast enough on the draw when checking #56’s replies!
They are as far as their generally accepted role of reporting facts but they are very much alive and well as an active propaganda machine for the Left. The Left is now diligently trying to shut down all other information outlets like talk radio, the internet and Fox News.
The link seems to be gone again. Did anyone download it?
I was having the same problem and was thinking the same thing. Libs hacks trying to do denial of services?
The Post and Email site won’t come up.....
Your link works. Thanks.
BTTT. Thank you.
Nice graphic! Can I steal it?
” And that it is simply unheard of that a President should refuse to produce a valid birth certificate. The man is a crook.”
As a man of guile(banking) I say Obama refused to release his college applications, and transcripts because he is guilty of one or more of the following....
Identity theft
Credit identity theft
Financial aid fraud(likely a felony)
Social security fraud

Can you dig it, bay bay ??
Rather off-topic, but my son was watching The Onion last night, and one of the pieces was an investigative report about the Boston Globe revamping its format to better serve its "three remaining readers."
More on-topic--why don't we the people have more power (i.e. to ensure only qualified candidates run)? I'm not a "birther" but it does seem awfully suspicious that Obama can't produce something as simple as a real U.S. birth certificate. How could he register as a candidate without one?
First of all, one of my two biggest discoveries that I made in the two years that I have been researching this birth certificate controversy has nothing to do with the birth certificate. It was discovering that Politifact had started the false rumor that Obama’s middle name is Muhammed, and used it to endlessly “debunk” it in conjuction with facts about Obama.
This is a rather specific allegation, and since it's called a "discovery," that implies there's some kind of evidence to support it. (As opposed to it being just random speculation.)
But what? No supporting evidence is provided; just the conclusion.
In fact, and contrary to the claim as made, the "Obama's middle name is Muhammed" rumor did not originate with Politifact. As far as I can tell, it started with this e-mail forward in December 2007. It started hitting a lot of websites in early January 2008, and got relatively major exposure via Bill Cunningham on January 6.
Politifact did indeed move to debunk the rumor quickly, but their article about it came on January 11, 2008, five days after Cunningham's usage on the radio, and nearly three weeks after the e-mail forward that was submitted to About.com.
Heck, it was even posted here at FreeRepublic on January 4, a week before Politifact's article.
So unless the allegation is that Politifact created the email forward in mid-December 2007, filling it with talk about Trinity Church, and using it to introduce a fake rumor that it would then shoot down a month later, this conspiracy theory simply has no legs to stand on.
And if the allegation IS that Politifact secretly created an email rumor about a Presidential candidate just to debunk it a month later, well, it's hard to imagine what could have possibly been "discovered" to validate that such a hypothesis.
Thank you for your hard work and tenacity.
We The People will prevail!
