Donald Trump (Birther-N.Y.) is at it again. In double-barrelled interviews on NBCs Today Show and MSNBCs Morning Joe, Trump continued his disgusting and dangerous dabbling in the disproved conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the United States. This might be good for the ratings of his television show. This might even be good for his business. But it is terrible for the nation and public discourse that someone who claims to be so smart is so willing to perpetuate a lie.

Alex Koppelman snipped this strand of the conspiracy in Dec. 2008 and again in July 2009. And hell most likely have to do it again now that Trump has embraced the fallacy with both hands. This all stemmed from a interview of Sarah Obama, the second wife of the presidents grandfather, by Ron McRae, a street preacher, through a translator over the phone. As Koppelman reported in 2009, Sarah Obama is not the presidents biological grandmother, but he calls her Granny Sarah.
In a clear lost-in-translation moment (and over an international phone line), which you can listen to in full here, Mrs. Obama said she was there for her grandsons birth. When McRae asks where in Mombassa the president was born, the translator, Vitalis Akech Ogombe, repeatedly corrected him....

WaPo had better watch its step.
Trump’s next move might to buy it and the NY Times with pocket change, which is about all they are worth.
SHOW us the LONGFORM BC, Jionathan, the one that shows the lenght, the weight, the doctor, and we’ll shut up and go away.....until then YOU SHUT UP!
Barry hasn’t gone panic attack yet. I suspect he knows the cover-up has been complete. All documents have been destroyed. Now if he could just get Ayer’s body over Fort Marcy Park, everything would be perfect!
Works for me. We’ve got the guns. The libs just have pee-stained panties!
Check out Capehart’s forehead. Is that a blob of dried Obama semen at the top?

Way to go trump, go, go, go.
The only one in danger is Barry, and if its proven hes a fraud he should be tried and convicted as a spy and promptly executed.
I didn’t read past the part about Trump perpetuating a lie.
We haven’t seen proof of what the truth is yet. Only then can what Trump says be declared a proven lie.
I hope you're right. The scumbag Lawrence O'Donnell yesterday closed his segment on Trump by asking when NBC would decide they needed to part ways with someone who "promotes hate" like Trump.
Wait until Donald broaches the subject of the multiple SSNs associated with Obama, and purportedly the use of a fraudlent number to register with Selective Service.
Thye’ll have to come up with a new perjorative however as birther will not apply.
Indeed, very dangerous. Everyone must watch what they say...lol
Freerepublic is for Conservatives. Spineless establishment republicans can pound sand.
TRUMP 2012!
The next step is to go mainstream on the use of multiple SSNs. And don’t think he is going to let the Rezko land deal go away.
The skeletons are being located by Trump and exposed to the general public for the corrupt person that BHO II really is.
Speculation about Barrys foreign birth isnt necessarily theory, just the absence of proof. Its telling Barry to put up, or shut up. Since the media maintains the theory that Barry was born in Hawaii, the media should put up, or shut up. Meanwhile, the Donald is entitled to a little fun at Barrys expense.
Yeah, Ted Baxter should get that copy of the BC that he said he saw showing a Hawaiian birth for the Imposter and then show it to us.
Dangerous dabbling? Does this guy honestly think Trump is that stupid, especially with the ego he has, to take such a risk? To leave himself open to the possibility of being caught with egg on his face in front of millions of people? LOL. Or maybe he is talking about another kind of danger here?
Yeh its terrible for the nation. What if all those dummies wake up and realize we (MSM) helped the Dems elect an illegal alien as President? That guy Trump is always causing trouble.
