You said — Spending a million dollars to keep it under wraps does nothing to end the controversy.

Well..., what I’m suspecting here, is that the leftists really don’t want to end the controversy and figure that they’re getting more political mileage out of this whole issue than they would if they ended it...

That seems to be the goal here, especially with the large volume of articles by the leftists about the birth certificate issue. They seem to be happy to paint conservatives who are hammering away on this issue as kooks and nuts and so on. And also, they seem to want to paint other conservatives (even those who are not taking up this issue) in the same light — which seems to be an attempt at marginalizing all conservatives...

I think it’s a ploy by the leftists, actually...

That theory makes sense only if one looks at the ‘large volume of articles’ in the past month or so. It has only been recently that it has been discussed by anyone in the media, including Fox. Then a sudden deluge. It’s now been on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox, plus written articles in everything from the WaPo to Vanity Fair.

They appear to have changed tactics midstream from ignoring it completely to speaking/writing in an effort to make ‘birthers’ appear as nothing but kooks. In the meanwhile, the more they talk about it, the more people become aware of the issue. Doesn’t make a lot of sense as a strategy.
