When the Watergate burglars bungled their 1972 caper to steal documents from the Democratic National Committee, the initial reaction of the Nixon administration to suggestions that it was somehow also involved was: “garbage.” Turns out it wasn’t garbage: it was truth and resignation igniter fluid.
When the Drudge Report first broke the story that a White House intern - Monica Lewinsky - had been illicitly “involved” with the president, then William Jefferson Clinton, the Clinton administration’s initial response was that the story was: “garbage.”
Indeed, an independent prosecutor was appointed and a grand jury empanelled. When White House Deputy Chief of Staff John Podesta was called in June 1998 to testify before the grand jury looking into the issue of Clinton’s extreme mentoring of the female intern, his lawyer assured everyone that Podesta’s grand jury testimony (i.e., a statement given under oath and upon penalty of perjury) “… fully supported the president’s forceful denials of any improper conduct.” And yes, Virginia, this is the same John Podesta who now heads up BH Obama’s transition team… how insightful of you.
Turns out the Lewinsky story and Clinton’s false testimony relating to it wasn’t garbage either, but instead, impeachment material.
Now, faced with multiple lawsuits on various fronts challenging BH Obama’s eligibility under the Constitution to hold the office of the president - the most recent one filed in California by former Ambassador and 2000 presidential candidate Dr. Alan Keyes - the flippant pronouncement of BH Obama spokesmen is: “garbage.”
Ummm… anyone see a pattern here? Any cause and effect link between “big problem for politician” and the reflexive labeling of the problem by his sycophants as “garbage”?
The simplest way for BH Obama to disprove the claim that he is not a “natural born Citizen” as required by the Constitution would be for him to authorize full and complete disclosure of his actual birth records - not just doctored images on a website - and wherever they may be located, to allow their examination by independent experts, not just reporters for a mainstream media whose pronouncements on the matter up to now have been - let us be polite here - somewhat less than objective.
Thus far, he has adamantly refused to do so and a once-vigilant, but now subservient MSM has refused to even suggest that he do otherwise. What the heck does he have to hide? And they wonder why the lawsuits keep coming?
In reality, given BH Obama’s long and close historical links to radicals, America-haters and corrupt influence peddlers, it is surprising that his spokesmen don’t use more graphic and “earthy” descriptions of these lawsuits, which after all strike at the very core of his constitutional qualification to be sworn in as president: is he a natural born Citizen?
This is an abundantly fair question, pejorative labels of “garbage” aside: America deserves to know.
The Electoral College does not convene until December 15, 2008, so there is still time to clean up any detritus still littering the political landscape… but only if there is the judicial and Fourth Estate backbone to do so.
Time to go through the garbage. Joe, you better warm up. Your time on the mound may be coming sooner than you think. Please don’t open your mouth.
Evidence easily disappears, and the MSM is complicit in coverups. Look at the White House Lincoln bedroom women list, look at how Vince Foster's demise was handled, etc., etc., and even look at the coincidences throughout Klintoon's entire career....
We just get branded as "nuts and sluts", and it's disregarded.
I expect the same will be true when the new King is coronated on January 20, 2009, without even being a Natural Born Citizen of the United States, but that is somehow dismissed as not an issue.
The lawsuits will go nowhere....
Well, if a conservative slut wants to contact me, I'm all for it....
when did liberals ever care about the law except when it’s used to tar and feather republicans?
(don’t hold your breath waiting for anyone to investigate.)
IMHO
Well, I will service a liberal slut for a weekend.
“Your time on the mound may be coming sooner than you think.”
Let’s hope not. That scenario would tear the country apart, possibly leading to armed conflict.
Even in the best-case scenario the conservatives would get blamed for keeping The Messiah out of the presidency and be out of power for the next several decades.
Well, if you’re correct, the last bits of evidence will be in that this is no longer a republic based on the rule of law and the Constitution.
If that bit of fear-mongering is what prevents folks from following the Constitution, again, the republic is dead.
I’m rather shocked, frankly, at how many FReepers seem to be ready to just roll over on their backs. Acting like Republicans, not conservative patriots who take the Constitution seriously.
Not if this is verified before December 15. I would think that if the president-elect is ineligible for the presidency, then the electoral college would have to vote for the other guy (McCain). Now, if it goes beyond the inauguration, then I guess Biden might be pres. There are bound to be some founder papers on this some place.
This would end up in the Sup Court, no doubt. What do you think the chances would be there? It would have to be definite with this court.
Gore already did that.
If there was anything to this story, the ultimate anti-Obamanite, Sean Hannity, would be screaming out from his perch at Fox News and his daily radio show. You're starting to sound like the nutzies over at DU and Daily Kos.
“If that bit of fear-mongering is what prevents folks from following the Constitution, again, the republic is dead.”
Try reading my post before you make insults.
I said I HOPED that it was not the case that Obama was not eligible. I made no comment that we should ignore the Constitution.
A lot of people are hoping that Obama is not eligible but that is even worse than an Obama presidency.
“Gore already did that.”
This time would be way worse.
Don’t think so. It was bad then. We still hear about it
“Don’t think so. It was bad then. We still hear about it”
Whining about it is one thing. Riots and serious violence are another.
“This time would be way worse......”
This is PRECISELY where those words, “enemies, both foreign AND domestic” become acutely relevant ...and may well demand more from many of us than we ever thought.....
