Good work, Hot Air. You just became irrelevant with the worst stretch of moral equivalence I've seen in years.
I don’t understand why proof isn’t required when you file to run for President. It’s in the Constitution.
I don’t think anything will come of this, but why is it so unreasonable to ask?
It is so insulting to see these conservatives so out of touch on this issue, parroting Axelrod talking points instead of reading up on the issue.
It isn’t unreasonable to ask. The media got into a lather about mccain’s birth, and he promptly released a vault copy of his BC.
haven’t seen any credible facts or evidence yet
Maybe, but everything I've seen says that if O'bama produced a real birth certificate, the issue would go away.
Why won't he do that?
Kos's word for it isn't worth much.
I think it is because it shows that Larry Sinclair is his brother and he is afraid of going to jail for incest!
Michelle Malkin and Cap’n Ed are pulling a McCain. Sucking up to the MSM isn’t going to get them a place at the table.
Yep, Hot Air has just earned the honor of being deleted from my bookmarks!
Never mind moral relevance. Any relevance at all!
Rational people know certain logical facts: a negative can not be proved. That's an axiom in basic logic. Hence, no one should need to "prove" that Hussein does not qualify to be president. The easier, and simple exercise would be to merely produce an official birth certificate and be done with it. Failure to do so is simple arrogance, indifference, criminal conspiracy, or the propensity for the rap culture to demand that rules don't apply to them. Take your pick.
Since the muslim mass murderers continue to kill hundreds worldwide daily, how the World Trade Center went down is irrelevant, if we want to survive.
Whether Palin gave birth to her grandaughter is even more absurd now, as it affects my life (and hundreds of million others) not in the least.
It takes monumental stupidity to make those comparisons, and "moral" has no role in it whatsoever.
They apparently have no ability to differentiate what is kookism and what is reasonable. It is kookism to think that the mossad or GWB planned 911 as an excuse to go after ME oil. It is kookism to see pictures of a pregnant Sarah Palin, have contemporaneous witnesses to a pregnant Palin and yet insist her daughter had the baby.
It is not kookism to analyze a COLB posted on the internet and demand a candidate for POTUS to prove his natural born birth status.
This moral equivalence is disturbing and idiotic.
I’ve been asking that question for weeks now. I had to provide a birth certificate for my drivers license and more recently my health insurance.
“..I believe Trig was born to Sarah Palin. I believe Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on U.S. soil. I believe fire can melt steel and that bin Laden’s jihadi crew – not Bush and Cheney – perpetrated mass murder on 9/11. What kind of kooky conspiracist does that make me?..”
MENA / VINCE FOSTER / RON BROWN / MARC RICH etc.
Where have you gone Ambrose Evans Pritchard?
then Bush came in....
Exactly. Either there's something to hide, or Obama's just playing, "You can't make me, nyah nyah nyah." Neither option is reassuring.
I didn't expect anything from Hot Air, but I'm disappointed in Michelle Malkin.
why is it so unreasonable to ask?
I wish I had asked the same question a few posts back.
It's bizarre, isn't it? Apparently she now thinks that the position of President of the United States should require less documentation than an illegal alien applying for welfare benefits.
