Paglia responded:

First of all, I reject the idea that the 'birther' campaign is motivated by racism. There may be racism among it, but there are legitimate questions about the documentation of Obama's birth certificate. I'm sorry, I've been following this closely from the start. To assume that all those signs about the birth controversy were motivated by racism, that is simply wrong. She continued, explaining she first came on the scene in the 1990s and has dealt with cries of sexism and homophobia, calling such battle cries "emotional" triggers.

Paglia said the fact there was little racism in the campaign against Obama is evidenced by the fact he "was elected by white people."

Criticism of Obama, instead, is coming because of the "strategic failures he is making in pushing this very important issue of health care reform."

According to the Washington Independent, the exchange was "compelling."

Paglia, a professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and Salon.com columnist, earlier wrote, "Yes, there were ambiguities about Obama's birth certificate that have never been satisfactorily resolved. And the embargo on Obama's educational records remains troubling."

He's listed as a member of the Bar in Illinois.

He was ACORN's lead attorney in Motor Voter cases, although I haven't researched the cases and don't know if he appeared.

The real mystery about his bar app is why he didn't list the "Barry Soetoro" alias, by which he was known for some years. He also neglected to mention "Drug Use," which he highlighted in his official bio. He also left out parking violations, etc. which weren't paid until his candidacy.

Not good.

Just putting two and two together. Davis was a pedophile and Obama spent quite a bit of time with him.

I think it's the reason Obama hates America so much as he was probably indoctrinated and molested simultaneously.

And since his mother was out whoring instead of protecting him, it would explain his hatred for his mother and his mother's race.

If Davis had an unnatural inclination to force himself sexually on children...

Hoo, boy. I don’t envy Barry, or Barack, or whatever his real name is, in that position.

It could explain his obsession for ripping up his past; literally going to the sources and removing the paperwork. He might not be ABLE to produce a copy of his old long form birth certificate any more, even if born in Hawaii.

NSS! Also troubling is the complete lack of vetting by the LSM.

Why would the lamestreamers want to “vet” a gospel?
