OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE SPOTTED IN BOGUS MOON LANDING FOOTAGE
August 5, 2009
Tardy though they are, we welcome MSNBC to finally joining every major conservative news outlet -- including Fox News, The American Spectator, Human Events, National Review and Sweetness & Light -- in discrediting the idea that President Obama wasn't born in this country and, therefore, is ineligible to be president.
Now the big question: Was Joe Biden born on this planet?
Inasmuch as the "birther" movement was hatched in the station wagon of MSNBC's favorite left-wing fantasist, Larry Johnson, maybe the mainstream media can stop acting as if it's a creation of the Republican National Committee.
Which party contains 99 percent of the people who believe (or believed):
-- O.J. is innocent;
-- Bush shirked his National Guard duty;
-- Sarah Palin's infant child, Trig, was actually the child of her daughter;
-- Justice Antonin Scalia threw the 2000 election to Bush so that his son could get a legal job with the Labor Department;
-- The spectacularly guilty Mumia Abu-Jamal was framed;
-- The Diebold Corp. secretly stole thousands of Kerry votes in 2004;
-- Duke lacrosse players gang-raped a stripper;
-- Bill Clinton did not have sex with "that woman";
-- Heterosexuals are just as likely to contract AIDS as gays;
-- John Edwards didn't have an affair with Rielle Hunter;
-- John Edwards' campaign aide Andrew Young is the father of Rielle Hunter's child.
And as has been recently noted, a 2007 Rasmussen poll showed that 35 percent of Democrats believe Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance, while 26 percent aren't sure ...
Holy mackerel.
Another favorite MSNBC guest, Janeane Garofalo, believes Enron's Ken Lay faked his own death. It's weird that Keith Olbermann didn't ask her about that when she was on his show a couple of months ago, given his sudden interest in stamping out conspiracy theories.
Also trying to revive his failing TV show, MSNBC'S Chris Matthews has been denouncing the birthers on "Hardball" nightly and demanding that every elected Republican who appears on his show do the same.
How many times has Matthews forced Democratic officeholders to denounce Al Sharpton for the Tawana Brawley hoax? Or for that matter, how many times has he forced Sharpton -- a frequent guest on his show -- to admit the case was a fraud?
Sharpton has veto power over all Democratic presidential candidates. Even Al Gore, a former vice president of the United States, was required to kiss Sharpton's ring.
If there ever comes a time when Republican presidential candidates have to get the blessing of the head of the birther movement to run, I'll say: I'm wrong -- Republicans do have as many conspiracy nuts as the Democrats.
Not content with merely humoring their nuts, Democratic officeholders promote conspiracy theories themselves.

Directly comparing us to nuts and liberals is not "attacking" us? How do you figure?
Looks to me like for whatever reason you're missing the forest for the trees.
Maybe you can explain away the title while you’re at it too.
Those were all used as an analogy to “birthers” weren’t they? She attacked conservatives who want to know why 0bama is hiding his BC and lots of other records.
Ann has suddenly become jealous of David Brock
A classic post, attack a person's looks when you can't debate them with reasoned intelligent discourse.
Which is Bull. People can take on multiple issues that they are for and against.
Peggy Noonan is another fine example of a once fine conservative who lost touch with the people.
Remember, she is still supporting Mitt...
Why? She is a great defender of the Constitution.
My goodness, childish name calling and hateful histrionics is all you have to debate the issue?
Good grief!
That is a lie.
She was dissing the media with the KKK comment.
It's best to be armed with the facts before you make emotional statements.
That regardless of where he was born, he fails the 'Natural Born' requirement in the constitution; his father's British citizenship seals that.
Every President or even Presidential candidate in my lifetime, Democrat or Republican, has been subject to rancorous calls for disclosure, of medical records, school records, you name it. So, keep up the pressure.
But, I’m not on board with thinking that a birth certificate matters at this point. Obama’s eligibility for office is at best murky, under the State Department’s own recommendations, based upon known, provable facts. He’s flat out ineligible, under several originalist interpretations.
Discussion of this, let alone resolution, has been squelched. It was squelched during the election itself, it was squelched in the election aftermath when a challenge could have been successfully mounted, and only now is the matter getting widespread acknowledgement. And, it has been nothing but a massive, massive effort to discredit. That should be very disturbing to any conservative, of any stripe.
But, here we have the jeering peanut gallery, even on Free Republic.
Our country has headed into very dangerous territory, and all these fools can see are dollar signs.
It's a highly personal decision, but if you are searching for someone to replace Ann, you might consider
Diana West
Maybe not quite as attractive as Coulter, but at least she is up to speed on Certifigate:
You words dirty this "clean FReeper site", not a picture of a beautiful woman.
She forgot a theory: Ann Coulter is a tranny.
Hey Ann. There's only one way to "discredit" that idea. Produce evidence that he is a natural born citizen of the United States of America.
As I say, its a good article, and if it weren’t for the one detail (other than that Mrs Lincoln)... if it weren’t for the one detail that she doesn’t agree with me on the birth certificate issue I’d say she knocked it out of the park.
But there is the one issue.
Johah Goldberg has picked up the same strategy as Ann, although he’ll never be able to crank out the kind of prose that she can. The strategy is to posit that the birthers are crazy, and then go on the attack about all of the Left’s crazier conspiracy theories.
Its a good strategy, especially in the absense of any documentary evidence that there is a problem here.
I’d just remind her that its exactly the lack of documentary evidence we’re talking about. There is a big black hole where his biography is supposed to be. If she will focus on that, and ask a few questions, she just might find some fodder for her next book. Ignore the crazy theories if they bother her, just focus on the very narrow question. Why is everything associated with him sealed or missing? And why is no one interested in filling in the blanks? Other than the crazy people, that is.
” Maybe she needs a man!!! “
She was dating Andy Stein for a time.
Don’t click on the link if you haven’t taken your Prilosec.
Conjure a somewhat younger ,but, equally obnoxious,
Chuck Schumer.

Ann may have jumped the shark and become the Maureen Dowd of the right.
