Boortz spent last half hour of his show (9 - 9:30 AM EST) talking about the Texas bill and calling us birthers stupid.

Here's my question: If there's nothing to this whole birth thing, why is everyone paying attention? Why aren't they just ignoring us?

The MSM...That’s why. The MSM is playing up this story to make us look bad. I’m am not arguing for or against the subject, but it sure makes us look bad as portrayed by the MSM.

Because they want you to look like fools — that’s why.

So demanding the transparency we were promised makes us idiots?

Boortz also refuses to discuss abortion and will not criticize the gay agenda. More libratarian than conservative. Swapped Celtic music for his show over two years ago after purchasing an IPOD.

All I continue to say is there is an easy way to force the issue without claiming Obama is inelligible for the office of POTUS.

Attack as follows. Start a not for profit website soliciting money to be donated to the Childrens ward in the Hospital that Obama was born (supposedly Kapiolani) and in the name of the one that birthed him.

Historical significance of honoring the birthing of the first black president and first president from the state of Hawaii.

When the WH refuses to give out something as simple as the birth doctors name and confirmation of the Hospital which all are available proven on the long version bc especially if the collected donation is rather large ...

It will force their hand and they will have to submit if not it could only mean that Obama hates sick children.

It’s curious- this reaction from some on the right. They are naturally embarrassed but what’s disturbing is how few of them seem to have done any investigating or real digging.

I refer them all to Andy MCCarthy’s superb piece last week- where he clarifies it all- it’s not just about the COLB- it’s everything about the man- all those sealed and mysteriously unavailable records and documents.

As Clinton and Nixon discovered- it’s not the initial wrongdoing- it’s the coverup. Aren’t ANY of the people who are telling us to SHUT UP even a little bit curious about this man?

The media is playing up the 'birthers' because they want to make conservatives look like nuts and buffoons... the same reason they ignore the 9/11 truther types on the left -- they *don't* want the left to be perceived that way.

Now, as for the proposed law about candidates providing proof, that's just common sense. These legislators should not be tarred with the nutty birther brush.

Were the folks on the left idiots when they asked for the same from McCain? Or was he the idiot for providing proof of his eligility?

Exactly!
What harm does it do?

Bortz wants us to accept him, and not call him “crazy” even though the “Fair Tax” has very little chance of passing anything this century.

I give Bortz the benefit of the doubt, on that one. I think our efforts would be better spent, elsewhere, but it not my place to control the thoughts or desires of others.

I wish Bortz would show me the same respect.

After all, no harm comes from “full and fair disclosure” -—

If the MSM were doing its job, the “birther movement” would not be necessary.

I am not sure where Obama was born.

I am sure that Obama is hiding something.

So, what’s it to Boortz.

Some of us consider him an idiot.

Excuse me Mr. Boortz but lacking a firm grasp of basic logic is what makes one an idiot. The facts are that Obama has not proven who he is and where he was born.

You would think that every non-idiot would want to know the most basic information about the man who now inhabits the most powerful office on Earth with the power to transform our lives.

His origins are intentionally shrouded in mystery. A president could not hid his origins unless it was done intentionally. It is impossible in this day and age.

My neighbor has a beagle that barks all the time at everything and everyone. It’s practically impossible to ignore him.

I guess there is a certain logic to calling the Texas bill stupid. After all, you seemingly don't need to provide any identification to vote for a Presidential candidate, why should a Presidential candidate have to provide their proof of Constitutional eligibility.

In the last 2 months, I have started listening to Boortz instead of Laura Ingram. I heard his diatribe on “birthers” and I haven't listened to him since. Does Boortz have proof that Zero is actually a "natural born citizen"? If he does, he should reveal it. Otherwise, he is just espousing his beliefs, not facts and criticizing us for wanting to know the truth.

I don't know if Obama is legitimate or not. But since Zero has locked up all of this public records and will not release his birth certificate and has spent perhaps millions of dollars fighting lawsuits to release it, I have to assume that he is hiding something. I guess none of this worries Boortz.

Signed, Former Listener.

By the way, we are not “birthers”, we are Constitutionalists.

Because the sane conservatives want to make sure everyone knows they’ve got nothing to do with it.

Oh yeah, Boortz was bashing the Tea Party movement less than 2 months ago until he figured he could sell some of his Fair Tax books to them, then he jumped on the Tea Party wagon.

Hey Boortz, guess what? It’s the same people who are involved in the Tea Parties who are also looking for some transparency on the birth certificate issue.

I think a lot of the reaction from the right is based on the shock factor that a President could be elected that is ineligible for POTUS

The constitutional crisis that would occur, possible riots, and a jar to their very core that someone actually usurped their way into the office of POTUS -- it's too much to fathom for them. Heck, it is a big shock, and maybe they're not prepared for it, thus their reaction of trying to brush it off as "just nuts".
