“They are trying to tar the GOP with the birther brush (hence the recent increase in media coverage of this issue) to try to make them look like kooks.”
Not only that, but there’s an almost visible ball of energy being built up behind this. There are so many blogs, so many people doing research, and so much hope being put behind this, that when they burst it, but showing the certificate NR mentions, the opposition’s bubble will be largely burst. We will have to start from ground zero again.
Meanwhile, good citizens like Mark Steyn or Rush Limbaugh might not be getting the support they should on real issues.
Yes, the desire to apply the “kook” label is the only reason the MSM would touch this topic. However, I have to wonder if Dems and even MSM secretly wonder and even skulk onto the Internet when no one’s looking. Oh, they’d never admit it, but people HAVE to be scratching their heads and at least wondering, “Wow, could there by some validity to this lockdown of our messiah’s past?”
