It was incumbent on the media to ask tough questions of the candidates, ...

We do have confirmation that all of the journOlists did their job to ensure that Barack Obama was elected to the highest office in the land. There were plenty of legal challenges to force Zero to prove his natural born status prior to the election - not one of those challenges could force Zero to produce his birth record that tells us what hospital he was born in and who the delivering doctor was.

Ann Coulter must know what hospital he was born in and have seen the document because she called "birthers" kooks! Never mind the simple fact that a legal birth record is all that "birthers" are looking for! Wow - kooky people that want to see the constitution folowed. Ann lost alot of credibility by siding with Obama's team.

That is true, but I fear that the people bringing the charge had no legal standing, which is very important in such cases. The only standing we have legally is probably in the polling booth. I really don't think the Constitution requires that candidates prove anything to the general public beyond what they are willing to force by withholding their votes. Congress is most likely the body with the legal standing in this. Obama, IIRC, has claimed that he showed the relevant people the proof, and a number of congress members did claim to have seen it. Unfortunately I think he probably met, insofar as Congress said he did, the legal obligation he was under and at no time did any member of the public have a chance in a courtroom.

Is that why she calls them "kooks" or could it be because she just doesn't like them or thinks that they make conservatives or Republicans look bad? I have a feeling the latter is as likely as the former, unless she has specifically stated otherwise.

But, in any case, I will readily admit I have never been all that crazy about Ann Coulter. I think she is snarky, and not usually in a good way. But, as a commentator or whatever she is considered, she is okay. She falls in the right more than the wrong, and that is better than most. I personally don't require she be right about everything all the time, and I am okay that she is usually right. That is much better than most people in the journalism-ish industry. I don't know if I would trust WND any more than I would Ann Coulter, or if I see them any differently really.
