Lou Dobbs and the canard over President Obama's birth
LA Times ^ | July 22, 2009 | James Rainey

Posted on 07/22/2009 1:00:12 AM PDT by Haddit

Lou Dobbs had David from Freeport, N.Y., on the line, the caller musing darkly about President Obama "rushing all these programs through by whatever means," knowing he will soon be exposed as a fake, a fraud, a . . . Kenyan.

At that point, a scrupulous radio host had three options: (A) hit the kill button (B) laugh and hit the kill button or (C) offer some push-back against the fantastical notion that Barack Obama was born on foreign soil and thus serves -- illegally -- as the Oval Office's first resident alien.

So now it doesn't matter that the President is foreign born, lied and committed fraud against the entire nation for a greedy grab at power?

Nah, why would that matter?

I think they are mocking, but I was too lazy to go with the link. At least the lead in to the article sounds like they are going to smack the Conservatives—which would be befitting of the LAT. In that case, they will laugh a lot much more, perhaps, before they eventually begin to cry up a terrible storm (when their man is exposed and is forced out). As they say, the last laugh will be on them.

...Dobbs did not return my call Tuesday. But he did go on the radio and rant about the L.A. Times and the other liberal media that are “subservient and servile to this presidency.”

He insisted he believed Obama is a citizen, while continuing to tell listeners “there is no actual birth certificate.” He did it because he is a Man of the People. And, as he explained, “the American people want an answer.”

All this could be settled today if he produces the birth certificate, not some mimeographed copy of a copy of an unproven document that could’ve been produced well after the event. What’s on the ACTUAL certificate that he doesn’t want us to see ? Birthplace other than Honolulu ? Another father ? Religion listed as “Mohammadan” ? Which is it ?

George Bush: The "unelected" president.

Barak Hussein Obama: The "ineligible to run for office" president.

L A times lecturing Lou Dobbs about journalistic ethics huh?
Are they for real?
Is this the same LA Times that
# 1. When there was an increase in the marriage rate in Iraq, and every single person they interviewed who was actually getting married said they were doing so because conditions in the country were improving. Yet the LA TIMES turned round, and portrayed the phenomenon as Iraqis trying to make the best of an unjust war?
# 2. When John Murtha made a crazy anti-war speech, the LA times turned round and claimed that Murtha’s had always been a pro-war “hawk” and a strong ally of President Bush in the Iraq war, when in fact, Murtha had criticized the war even before it started, and was in fact a strong anti-war, anti-Bush nut?

And a very very long list of lies, distortions, anti-Bush hate, anti-repubican hate for the entire 8 years that bush was in power, as carefully chronicled by the great Patterico on his web site here?

“What’s on the ACTUAL certificate that he doesn’t want us to see ?”

Nobody knows what Obozo is hiding, but if he ever had one, it would look like this:

If he would release this, the whole issue would dry up
and blow away, provided it did not have some fatal or damning information.

Me either. What they are choosing to ignore also is we have a man and woman in the WH who by all appearances hate everything about America. It is Obamas intent to destroy us.

Yup. Same with Kerry not signing the release form for his military records. There’s something in them that’s damning.

I have watched Dobbs off and on over the years.

What I learned is this: Once Dobbs jumps onto a subject like the Obama birth certificate, he jumps on it like an angry bulldog, and he doesn't let go until he is satisfied that the topic or problem is resolved to his satisfaction.

I have also learned that the more Dobbs is criticized, the madder and tougher he gets.

He can be relentless, so people like the LA TIMES better be careful if they are looking for a long fight with Dobbs over this Obama birth certificate issue.

OK. It is the only available proof of citizenship, and the State of Hawaii considers it sufficient. To say otherwise is to say that thousands of Hawaiians may be obtaining US passports through fraud. Is it inconceivable to ask what happened to the long form, and is it inconceivable that at least a few Hawaiians did obtain US passports through fraud? If his mother had applied for US citizenship for her foreign-born son, he would still not be eligible to serve as President. Thus, while she might not have engaged in any conspiracy, not knowing that her son would later aspire to be president, he might have later in life, and then arranged to have the long-form certificate lost, and the number on the short-form certificate altered. Maybe. Could be. Nothing far out about it, really. On the other hand, maybe not. Only the long-form certificate can prove the matter one way or the other.

Cooler heads at CNN put some distance between themselves and their once star host, with fill-in Kitty Pilgrim using a segment of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on Friday to provide a substantially more skeptical look at the Obama-made-in-Africa claims.

I saw that segment. Kitty read off all the "proof" of BO's American citizenship, and gave little time for the other side to respond. It was a waste of time for Keys and Taitz to be on the show.
