WASHINGTON Sean Hannity today defended Sarah Palin's recent comments about Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for the presidency and WND's pursuit of the story.
He said the question about his original, long-form birth certificate has still not been answered.
"What was so wrong in saying that, 'Can we see your birth certificate?' ... We were told early on that, in fact, somebody else had looked at it and confirmed that it was legitimate. So, I mean, what was wrong with people saying, 'Wait a minute. You know what? In light of the fact of where your, your father came from, et cetera, uh, let's just make sure that this is a legitimate birth certificate'? ... It was not asked by the mainstream media. It was asked by places like WorldNetDaily, who, I think, were just doing due diligence considering it's a constitutional mandate. ... I think a lot of people were just afraid to ask the question."

I love it!
More than a year late to the party...pal.
It looks like the talkers are starting to heat it up in time to put heat on the Healthcare and midterm elections.
In the mad, mad, mad world we are all residing in, Andrew Sullivan, whilst being interviewed by the equally vapid Joy Behar (how is this woman on TV and I am stuck in retail???) went into a FIFTEEN minute q and a about whether Trig ‘really is’ Sarah Palin’s son.
Now...if for grins and giggles...someone...anyone would ask either Behar or Sullivan about the Birth Certificate (you know that pesky Constitution rearing its head and all) they will go ape$hit that the question has no merit and YOU (for posing it) are RAAACIST.
Its like we are all Alice...down that Rabbit hole right now.
Even the Fox crew has been afraid to ask the question up until now.
But for whatever reason, they are starting to lose their fear, apparently.
Cool.
Next up—Rush?

‘What was so wrong in saying that, ‘Can we see your birth certificate?’”
Does anyone care that’s not what Palin said? No? Okay.
It may be what she’s thinking, but she was careful not to say it. And that sort of thing that ought to count with these little scandals.
But like Alice we get out..they don’t *grin*
This is not a unreasonable thing to ask for since being a "natural born citizen" of the US is a constitutional requirement for the job of President. It's not hateful, and it's not racist.
Proving that you are should be an honor.
Yet will not produce either. Why?
The longer it goes wityhout him doing this, the more insistent the demands for it will become. Obama cannot hide from proving his constitutional qualification once people in any numbers seriously doubt it.
BTW, under what conditions and with what financial aid did Obama attend college? ANd when he traveled to Pakistan while in college, under what conditions and what passport did he use to do so? Again, relatively simple things to put to rest...but they have not been put to rest. To the contrary, they've been covered up.
Reasonable people begin to wonder why.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
I just heard Levin interview Hannity about the ‘birther’ issue. Of course they both danced around it and played it down. Hannity-—’I’ve always believed he was a citizen’
sheesh.
Passports would be good tooo.....was obama really an exchange student??
Both he and Rush Limbaugh.
Bottom line ... the bc doesn't matter ... BHO Sr. was a foreign born national ... a Kenyan & British subject attending university in the U.S on a student visa. His father was foreign born, in this country temporarily, and returned to Kenya after his studies. BHO Jr. doesn't qualify to be POTUS ... period.
Hannity isn’t going to take any position that risks his Golden Goose. He wants to be “accepted” as “legitimate”. Why do you think he has Al Charlatan on his program? He knows Al’s a fraud and an accessory to murder, but all the “cool kids” have him on TV and Sean wants to fit in.
Exactly!
By muzzling their talk show hosts, Fox and Clear Channel have **seriously** damaged their reputation for reliability. Personally, I will **NEVER** trust them again. In fact, I now believe they are be paid to be the “controlled opposition.
It really is in their best interest of Fox and Clear Channel to take a stand **NOW*** ( while there is still some time and hope) and report on Obama’s natural born status **NOW**!!!!
The CEO’s of Fox and Clear Channel must remember:
**The fascist oligarchy will take away their license to broadcast anyway.
**The fascist oligarchy will steal their money anyway.
**The fascist oligarchy will blackmail them anyway.
**The fascist Oligarchy will carry out their threats against their family and them anyway.
I agree. Not a NBC, period. I just want to see the birth certificate to determine whether he’s an illegal alien ;)
But I’m glad this is in the news everyday. Someone will get him. People are not letting this go.
