O'Reilly baits Palin to be-fringe birthers -- she won't bite
Renew America ^ | February 17, 2010 | Michael Bresciani

Posted on 02/20/2010 5:34:42 PM PST by FreeAtlanta

Rev. Michael Bresciani is a Christian author and a columnist for several online sites and magazines.

In an interview with Sarah Palin on Tuesday February 16, Bill O'Reilly repeatedly asked former Governor Sarah Palin to state whether she thought 'birthers' are on the fringe. She went ahead to describe the kinds of people she encountered at the Tea Party meetings but tactfully avoided directly answering the question.

Palin who has undergone relentless media bashing since her run for the White House seemed unwilling to join the fray of name calling and pigeon holing that is so much a part of politics and punditry in this day. It was a show of grace and dignity that is one of her best qualities that the media seems to be missing most of the time.

Evening ping:

Let’s not argue the legality’s or the fine points of the law. Instead, let’s just compile a very short list of the obvious that both O’Reilly and the media seem to be missing altogether.

* Many birthers don’t think there is a conspiracy at all on any level they just want to see the birth certificate and be satisfied as they were with the documents John McCain produced during his candidacy.

* It is the law to vet all public officials from policemen to presidents in the United States

* Posting documents online is not part of the vetting process.

* Birthers are largely a group of law abiding citizens who have made recourse to the law to be sure that things were done properly.

* Suspicion has been raised more by the refusal to expose the birth certificate than in a rage to assert that there has been usurpation.

* The other missing and secreted documents from Obama’s past are only adding fuel to the fires of that suspicion.

* Birthers have been shunned by the law, mocked by the media and now are being labeled as ‘the fringe’ by Mr. O’Reilly. All this while not one of this nations Attorneys General, election commissioners or state election board officials has been called home for supper.

P.S. AND SOME “AFTER-BIRTHERS” HERE PLAY THE SAME GAME!!!

BOR also tried to deceitfully bait Sarah Palin into attacking Rush Limbaugh. On friday Rush fired back at BOR using his trademark satire. Very funny.

Can O'Reilly produce the birth certificate for himself...what about his daddy?

If so, why not ask for Zero to do the same?

O'Reilly is such an ass!

I haven’t read his book, but those who did, said he mentions finding his birth certificate in his mother’s papers.

I’m sure you could find a reference here in some of the earlier threads.

O’Reilly is still entertaining but I’d never hire him to be my lawyer!

You’re about 6 years behind the curve, regarding BOR.

Sarah has too much savvy and too much class to be suckered in by BO’R.

It sounds like O’Reilly and Glenn Beck are teaming up with anyone who thinks there is a possibility that Obama may not be an American citizen.

Glenn Beck put the birthers in the same category as the truthers (911 was a government job) on one of his recent shows. I thought this was outrageous. There is nothing outlandish at thinking a known liar is lying about his citizenship, his religion, or anything else. The truthers believe that our American government would kill innocent civilians for some sinister control of the population.

Virtually all US citizens have had to show their birth certificate for some reason at some point in their lives, whether it's getting a driver's license, school, job, benefits, taking a cruise or whatever. It makes no logical sense that this man (O) has spent a million $ keeping it hidden.

My theory is that his hippie mother messed him over. She hated this evil capitalist imperialistic white man's society, so she probably marked him as a Kenyan citizen instead of a US citizen. And then never probably re-patriated him. That would be a mess, and the "establishment" is going along with it because to remove him would result in major chaos. Not just riots, but outright chaos.

My son is 11 months old, and we NEVER received his from the hospital, despite them repeatedly saying they’d sent it - all we have is the type you order from your state or county
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Does the state have the long form birth certificate? Did you check this?

If the state does not have the long form birth certificate and if you do not get this straightened out **soon**. I would urge you to contact an attorney. The consequences for your child not having proper citizenship documentation could be very serious for him in the future.

It is my experience that it is not important for me to personally have my long form birth certificate, but is it **essential** the state of Pennsylvania have it.

“Many birthers don’t think there is a conspiracy at all on any level”
*********

The rest of your post is accurate and well reasoned, but let’s face it, Obama and whoever HAVE conspired to not reveal his long form BC. Whether it is his lawyers, Howard Dean, obozo himself, and anyone else who is in on it- they have conspired to prevent release of the long form. To that extent it IS a conspiracy.

Anyone who claims to not be interested in seeing what it says is either a fool or drunk on koolaide.

You are slow on the uptake...

O’Reilly is a jackass of the highest order and an egomaniac to boot. He has been for years. This is not a new thing.

One of those things about the Scott brown election was when they said we can not seat him until we verify that he is qualified to be a Senator. My question was why are they waiting until after the guy is elected to do this. Also, if you have to verify the qualifications of a senator surely you would have to do the same for a man running for president.

I am not a fire breathing birther but I would like to know that the man or woman we put into the oval office is truly qualified for the audience.

If I have to prove my citizenship to join the Army then surely so should the commander in chief.

“It sounds like O’Reilly and Glenn Beck are teaming up with anyone who thinks there is a possibility that Obama may not be an American citizen.”

The answer is not to go after his “US Citizenship” when you have a lock solid case against him because HE WAS A BRITISH CITIZEN AT BIRTH, (UKC United Kingdom and Colonies) per the 1948 British Nationality Act.

British Nationality Act 1948
Ñ(1) This Act may be cited as the British Nationality Act, 1948. .... British Subjects without Citizenship under Section Thirteen of this Act. ...

Sarah Palin has indeed come a long way since the interview with Katie Couric. A far cry from being stared down at with the granny glassed Charles Gibson. It has been a rough but profitable experience for her. Thrust as she was into the arena with the usual suspects.

Even supposing there were errors at that juncture by her, one thing has remained constant. That is her absolute class. Not something nurtured by an education in the elite ivy league, nor for the cut and thrust of the Congress. This is her.

Then there are the perennial easter bunnies. They just will not stop. More power to them.

Since I don’t have a TV it’s easy for me to say I’ll never watch him, but when I go to my mom’s house she loves to watch him....so she can yell at him ;)
