I think they've been spending time under his desk.

Well, Jackie, there is an easy solution to this whole
controversy. The question is, Why doesn’t obama provide it?
Where are his school records? Why is all this hidden?

Don't they have enough things to worry about in their own country?

Mind you own business, yo.

well, there seems to be a ratcheting up of worldwide attention on this. let’s hope Obama’s got a good explanation, cause if he has to go, the whole world might just riot.

“He has been planning an overhaul of the US health system, one of the worst and most expensive systems in the developed world.”

Wow. Objective.

When the best cancer centers and Mayo Clinics are shut down, South Africans, Canadians, Australians, Russians, English, Spanish, Mexicans, French, Polish, Taiwanese, Kenyans, etc. can wait five months to see a doctor and four years for the surgery.

Fortunately, they still exist. A relative of mine was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She has three appointments in the next five days. And surgery is scheduled for the 10th of August.

Birthers are the fringe lunatics challenging Obama’s eligibility to be president of the United States.

Yeah, it's sheer lunacy to demand Obama prove his eligibility by releasing his birth records. /s

Since this article is for local Johannesburg consumption, they’ll think all is normal when the “necklacing” starts.

While Jackie May may have invested a large amount of intellectual energy to debunk the “Birther” Movement, he has failed to put the same amount of effort researching what is known about the question. This recent piece is very revealing. It shows that he lacks the intellectual capacity to do the research. That should alert any reader that he is a knee jerk hack and does not belong in the profession. What would be worse would be, if he knows the significance of what is out there, but uses the media cover up the truth. He operates as a shill to deceive the public into thinking Zer0 is beyond any question. That would be almost criminal in the use of his position to create propaganda. It is this symbiotic relationship with the media that is the most threatening aspect that has deep consequences for our freedom and our nation’s future.

Yesterday, Pulitzer prize-winning columnist Eugene Robinson said that there has never been a more clinically insane political phenomenon in his lifetime than the birthers.

He hopes that this “bunch of lost, confused and frightened people” is harmless, and that they seek help.

*******

I feel so sad for Pulitzer prize-winning Robinson.

1. He seems to have suspended/abandoned his responsibilities as a respected journalist: As a respected journalist, his mission is to search for the truth wherever the search takes him, good or bad.

2. For instance, we have a very serious controversy concerning Obama's birth: Where was he born?

3. I'm not a journalist, but it seems to me that the first logical document that a reporter would want to look at would be Obama's original 1961 birth certificate.

4. As a reporter, I would want to look at not only the birthplace but also the doctor's signature and the hospital name to make sure that what Obama told us about his birth and himself were correct.

5. Sounds like very routine and basic reporter stuff to me.

6. But, as we have come to find out, this "routine" and "basic" reporter stuff has turned into a horrible, painstaking and name calling investigation of Obama's birth certificate.

7. Now, we even have a Pulitzer winner reporter, Robinson, calling such routine investigative reporting as being undertaken by clinically insane birthers.

8. Doesn't Robinson have a journalistic duty to seek the truth about Obama, even if what he finds is harmful to Obama?

9. Shouldn't Pulitzer winner Robinson---instead of badmouthing birthers---demand that Obama release his 1961 Hawaii long form birth certificate and his Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard records in order to clear up this ugly controversy surrounding Obama's birth certificate and Obama's college records?

10. Can the prestigious Pulitzer journalism award be taken away from Robinson for the way he has abandoned his duty as an investigative journalist in order to protect and kiss up to Obama?

Ol Eugene never heard of “truthers.”

[. . .Eugene Robinson said that there has never been a more clinically insane political phenomenon in his lifetime than the birthers.]

Eugene Robinson is the one of the most insane political phenomena of my lifetime. The others have shows on MSNBC.

From Wikipedia: “Robinson appears frequently on MSNBC as a political analyst on shows such as Race for the White House, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, The Rachel Maddow Show and Hardball with Chris Matthews.”

>"Birthers are the fringe lunatics challenging Obama’s eligibility to be president of the United States. They insist that he is not a natural-born citizen — a US constitutional requirement for the presidency. Brownshirts were the armed and uniformed Nazi party militia of 1930s Germany — the Sturmabteilung."

Nice paragraph!

Did you learn non sequitur in J-school or just from watching Family Guy?

The media dismisses "birthers" but there was one set of "birthers" they loved - the people who claimed Sarah Palin wasn't Trig's mother.

Liberals make me sick. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
