On last night's O'Reilly Factor (Oct 27, 2009), Bill O'Reilly sat stupidly while Lis Wiehl made several conspicuously false statements regarding the facts related to Obama's birth documentation. Referring to the "birthers", Ms. Wiehl stated that "It's this whole movement that says that Obama was elected from a bad, unconstitutional point of view because he was not born in the United States. That's been litigated. Congress investigated. His birth document from Hawaii was shown."
First, regarding "That's been litigated" this case has never actually been heard in open court (because the plaintiffs have been denied standing).
Second, regarding "Congress investigated." Does anyone know to what she is referring? Or as that a total fabrication? Does she really think that Barney Frank and Harry Reid have "investigated" this?
Third, regarding "His birth document from Hawaii was shown", Ms. Wiehl fails to mention that what has been shown is purported to be a bona fide copy of Mr. Obama's birth documentation. Furthermore, the validity of that copy is disputed for a number of reasons. (And they never mention the fact that Hawaii issues two types of birth documentation, and that there is an interesting dispute as to which type of birth documentation Mr. Obama has.)
Fox News continues to ridicule people who believe that Mr. Obama's birth records -- that are actually on file in Hawaii -- should be made available to independent document experts for inspection and validation.
My question: are they afraid of this story, or do they simply not understand it at all? I do not believe that Fox is part of a conspiracy or a deliberate cover up. Stupid? Yes. Nefarious? No.
“It’s okay; FR now has a welcome wagon committee.”
Dripping with sarcasm. They also get pinged to the birther threads.
Thanks, LucyT.
Welcome Wagon Ping.
For some people it is. For others it's a simple and very reasonable question/request to produce the original B/C.
Obama's refusal to do so:
a) is because his flaky Mom honestly misplaced/lost it
b) allows his surrogates to slander "birthers" as nutty for continuing to ask
c) is because he actually wasn't born in the US
Awwww....reminds me of my childhood.
I too have mailed them asking how they have come to their decision and why not prove what they back up on air.
I also asked why they feel they should degrade anyone who asks questions about this and yet they cannot prove anything they say plus isn’t your job to report the truth in if they are giving an opinion on a so called fact.
Heard nothing yet
have done ,
my thoughts too
OR is for OR and has his head so far up his own arse.
CORRECT
They would rather name call instead of asking one question
WHY WILL YOU NOT SHOW IT?
it really is that simple, ask the question instead of just ignoring it.
Lis Wiehl playing it loose with the facts was noticed:
“Captain Pamela Barnett issues challenge to Bill O’Reilly; LED PLAINTIFF...UPSET AT FOX’S DISTORTION”

No kidding. The new "HLN" (CNN Headline News) would be a great place for her. More gossip than news on that gem of a channel...
He’s so full of himself, he is sickening. The other night he told Dennis Miller he wanted him to have lunch with he and obongo. Miller said he wasn’t interested. Bill repeats it. Miller states again he is NOT interested.
LOL LOL LOL!!!!

Thank you.
Jim Quinn of Quinn and rose has been all over it, stating that obozo is foreign born, and that we have elected the enemy.
He is still on the air, and is apparently defying the edict not to discuss it.
Looks like all the others are just scaredy cats.
