The false allegation that President Barack Obama was born in another country is more than a fact-free hit job.
Marked by accusations and backstabbing, it's the story of how a small but intense movement called "birthers" rose from a handful of people prone to seeing conspiracies, aided by the Internet, magnified without evidence by eager radio and cable TV hosts, and eventually ratified by a small group of Republican politicians working to keep the story alive on the floors of Congress and the campaign trails of the Midwest.
It's a powerful story about what experts call political paranoia over a new face in a time of anxiety and rapid change — the sort of viral message that can take hold among a sliver of the populace that's ready to believe that the new president is a fraud, and just as ready to angrily dismiss anyone who disagrees as part of the conspiracy.
"He is NOT an American citizen," yelled a woman at a town hall meeting in Delaware, angrily confronting a congressman. "I don't want this flag to change. I want my country back."

“Right!! Michael Jackson on the right, and baby “Blanket” in the middle? But who’s the other guy??”
I think it’s Manuel Noriega.
Seems like this is what the state-run media is doing...
I posted this on another thread, but it bears repeating:
The American people have a constitutional right to see Obama’s original birth records, college records, college papers et al. What is he hiding by not releasing them? The American people have a right to know where his loyalties lie. His previous statements about this country are troubling. He makes life and death decisions for our military, and our country. Pray for our soldiers in harms way.
He’s just another immigrant worker. Throw another one on the stack of 30,000,000.
Do you think they had the time to vet his natural born status? So much to do, so little time.
