“This entire article, like pretty much everything ever posted by birthers, is simply false. I’ve listened to the audio - TWICE - and the NPR executive named simply doesn’t say what the article claims.”
Here is my transcript:
Liley: “I don’t know any who are Democrats. But they are primarily conservative commentators and the people who follow them question whether Obama is...to run for president you have to be born in the U.S. For many other offices you don’t have to, but that office you do have to be born in the U.S. And there still IS a question about whether he IS, and that IS a FACT!”
If the fellow-travelers at NPR KNOW that it is a FACT that “there still is a question about whether” Barry was “born in the U.S.,” they are actually BIRTHERS!!!
Isn’t it about time for FR after-birthers, SPs and FogBlower trolls to admit that deep down THEY are birthers, TOO?
Good job Seize. :-)
There's a big difference between acknowledging that some people still continue to question whether Obama was born in the US (which is entirely true, thanks to an ongoing parade of charlatans and birther propagandists), and acknowledging that there's a LEGITIMATE question.
Like quite a few people here, I've followed this whole thing pretty darn close. And I have NEVER seen any GOOD evidence that Obama was born in Kenya, or anywhere outside of the US.
Nor have I ever seen any GOOD evidence that there's anything at all wrong with his birth certificate. I've followed the discussion, I've listened to the arguments, heck, I've even read the book. Both of them.
What I HAVE seen is mountains and mountains of BS.
The executive in this audio, when you listen to the context, is clearly saying that there are still a lot of people who believe the birther stuff.
I DON'T hear her saying that there's any legitimacy to any of it.
Now I know all you birthers want to believe that's what she's saying. Fine, go ahead.
It won't make you any nuttier than you already are.
