Palin: Obama’s birth certificate is fair game (video)
Hot Air ^ | Dec.3, 2009 | Allahpundit

Posted on 12/03/2009 7:49:38 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

At 7:45, your quote of the day. Something for (almost) everyone here: For the left, smoking-gun proof that she’s a fringe character, and for Birthers, smoking-gun proof that their concerns are mainstream.

As for righties like me and Ed (and Glenn Beck) who think this particular science is well settled, tomorrow should be a fun media day.

I wonder if she realized when she said this that it’ll follow her around from now on.

C’mn Red. You don’t want to use that DU smear term, do you?

I may be the last person around here who cares but I refuse to let the dirtbags at DU and Kos define us and determine our vocabulary for us.

It's a fair question no matter where he was born.As has been suggested many times before; all it would take to put that particular matter to rest is about $15.00.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Interesting isn't it? After 140 posts no Obot has answered your simple question.

Well...I have an observation and 3 questions to ask:

An honest man would be **HONORED** to promptly and fully prove in every way to any citizen that he was a natural born citizen and eligible to be president.

—What do Obama’s actions have to say about his honor and honesty?

—What do Obama’s actions have to say about the honor and honesty of those who defend him?

—What do Obama’s actions have to say about the honor and honesty of the so-called **CONSERVATIVE** media who have utterly IGNORED Obama’s eligibility? That means Rush, Beck, Hannity, OReilly, Levine, Medved, Malkin,...( And I hold Coulter in special contempt!)

( We know that the mainstream media has no honor or honesty. That's a given.

“Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?” she was asked (around 9 minutes into the video above).

“I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t know if I would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members of the electorate still want answers,” she replied.

“Do you think it’s a fair question to be looking at?” Humphries persisted.

“I think it’s a fair question, just like I think past association and past voting records — all of that is fair game,” Palin said. “The McCain-Palin campaign didn’t do a good enough job in that area.”

She is doing EXACTLY what she said she would do..VOICING OUR CONCERNS. AWESOME!! It’s actually pretty mild stuff(word wise), but she is signaling that she is a fighter and nothing that concerns the public is off limits just because the ‘elites’ say it should be. Makes me want to vote for her even more frankly.

Not sure why the folks at Hot Air are getting so upset, but it’s probably because they refused to voice ‘our concerns’ and then made fun of those concerns. It’s obvious to anyone that has a brain, that something is not right with this whole ‘Obama and his records’ deal...of course it’s ‘fair game’ because somebody is lying and hiding stuff that rightly should be in the sunshine....not locked behind millions of dollars of lawyers and lawsuits.

Thanks for the ping.

GO SARAH!!

This time she handed them ammunition by acknowledging there is even a question in peoples minds of Obama’s eligibility.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ammunition? You bet she handed them “ammunitition”!

I think Sarah lobbed a powerful grenade right into the Marxist media camp by bringing up Trig’s birth ceritificate in the same breath a Obama’s. If the Marxist media goes after Palin for these comments they will blow themselves up with how they handled Trig’s paternity.

Could someone help me out? I was told by my liberal friend that Obama has produced a legitimate birth certificate and that I should not believe anything I hear about it. I’ve followed the story somewhat but can someone tell me what I can say or show her that proves he has not produced a birth certificate. Thank you

“SArah is a birther?”

5 times. lol.

Nah, I think she’s just defending the rights of the people to ask the question.

At the same time she seems to equate birthers with Trig-truthers.

The right isn't afraid of the media, but the pseudo right is.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Psudo-right! I like that expression.

Personally, I will **never** fully trust Rush, Beck, Hannity, Levine, Medved, Malkin, Coulter..etc. AGAIN! They are “pseudo-right”!

( I hold Coulter in special contempt!)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

On another thread you posted to me and said that you were not a “birther”. ( I think I could probably find that post.)

With regard to Obama’s natural born status there are only three kinds of people:

1) Brain dead people. ( You don't seem to be one of these people.)

2) People who care deeply about the Constitution.

3) Those who don't give a twit about the Constitution.

“Awesome”

Why? Say more stuff like this and she’ll make herself 100% unelectable.

Thankfully, she did a back-pedal on Facebook ... “But at no point – not during the campaign, and not during recent interviews – have I asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United States.”

One comment on that blog: She needed to say “The birth circificate issue is dead, but the real troubling issues about Barack Obama are his Marxist associations as he clearly states in his book, and the 20 years he sat listening to racist anti-american sermons. Those are the things that should concern Americans, not the birth cirtificate issue”.

A real leader would denounce this idiotic conspiracy theory in no uncertain terms, not cravenly pander to the crackpots.

Wow, Sarah just gave the left rational people heavy machinery to beat her up with.

Fixed it for you.

To his (small) credit, Rush has at least joked that, "What do God and Obama have in common? Neither one has a birth certificate."

All of our favorite right-wing commentators have looked at the bc issue, and have at least mentioned it in passing on their programs, but none of them have pointedly attacked the central hypocrisy, which is, if Obama is what he claims to be, then why won't he release his birth certificate?

As Sarah Palin just commented, the question itself should be "fair game", so why have our conservative talkers and writers failed to address it?

At some point, the truth about Obama's eligibility will come out. When it does, I don't want to hear a single one of our talkers jumping on the bandwagon. I want to hear the sound of them munching crow.

we have every right to investigate Obama’s true birth

Our right and DUTY as Patriots to investigate BHO's BC trumps the media's right to ask for Trig's BC - Trig is not the president. However, I bet this wish they didn't ask - that was an excellent scenario that Sarah used. It was wrong of them to do it but Sarah turned it around for the good of the country, IMO!

Go Sarah - make their heads spin more!

Well said! Yes, it's 'We the People' who have the right to question. The elites twisted the powers - instead of them being our servants, they made themselves the boss. Totally against The Constitution and Patriots, like Sarah, as you said are....VOICING OUR CONCERNS.

ANYONE against that is against The Constitution.

Backpedal? LOL! It's not like the whole nation - and world - doesn't know his father was not an American citizen! Therefore, he is NOT qualified to be prez. Is your thinking is so paralyzed that you suggest those in power and the state run media don't know the real deal because they aren't speaking about it?

You probably bought the climatechange propaganda, also!

I don’t think Obama’s birth certificate is a fair issue. I mean where he was born, his true nationality and therefore possible foreign allegiences, his constitutional fitness for office, it’s just none of our business.

I agree. Who knows what will happen if we start asking if our presidents are qualified? LOL!
