A Good Get for the Birthers (More trouble for the Wee Wee alert)
Slate ^ | September 1, 2010 | David Weigel

Posted on 09/01/2010 9:13:48 AM PDT by Zakeet

I try to ignore the birther movement unless it inducts someone important -- a congressman, for example. The (sigh) American Patriot Foundation's announcement that Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney (ret.) has signed an affidavit supporting court martialed birther Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is actually a pretty big coup.

How wild is McInerney's statement? This wild:

[I]t is my opinion that LTC Lakin's request for discovery relating to the President's birth records in Hawaii is absolutely essential to determining not merely his guilt or innocence but to reassuring all military personnel once and for all for this President whether his service as Commander in Chief is Constitutionally proper. He is the one single person in the Chain of Command that the Constitution demands proof of natural born citizenship. This determination is fundamental to our Republic, where civilian control over the military is the rule. According to our Constitution, the Commander in Chief must now, in the face of serious-- and widely held-- concerns that he is ineligible, either voluntarily establish his eligibility by authorizing release of his birth records or this court must authorize their discovery. The invasion of his privacy in these records is utterly trivial compared to the issues at stake here.

Isn’t everyone on your list a longtime supporter of Mitt Romney?

That’s understood, but that’s not the point.
LTC Lakin can only be pleased and grateful for McInerney’s signed affidavit.

I’m certain he is gratified, as he should be. He’s also got Gen Paul Vallely on board!

And is McInerney a serious person?

Weigel your lack of understanding and leftist stupor would fill the universe.

Oddly I think they are all Romney supporters. What is really weird is they all came out on the same day and attacked birthers. I think they were all forced to do it.

True Blues who have not attacked Birthers:
Rush
Savage
Steve Maltzberg
Levin ( I think)
Dennis Miller ( he has brought up the BC before)
Cunningham.
Hannity (as far as I know)

Someone on FR once told me “Rush makes fun of it.” No Rush nver made fun of borthers. He does bring up the BC and makes a joke sometimes but the joke is against the Imam. Rush has never trashed birthers.

Feel free to distribute widely:

“I’d vote alone. I bought your lies.
My truest friend I thought. (Yo, Right!)
And ev’rything I had to know
I heard it “on your TV show”

You gave us (all) those mortal scars
Through wars and words - invaded by farse
You made us laugh - you made us cry
You made us feel that we could die

America becomes some background noise,
A backdrop for girls, boys and toys
Who just don’t know or just don’t care
And just complain when we’re not there.
We had the time. You gave our power
T’ensure you have your finest hour.
Out you GO!

All we hear is Democrat ga ga
Progressive goo goo
Communist ga ga
All we hear is Liberal ga ga
Left-leaning blah blah
Media, what’s new?
Out you go. No one believes you.”

In Glenns’ defense, yes he has attacked the Birthers but that was after a coordinated effort by birthers to get him to address the issue, so Glenn struck back.

He is a fake and a false “prophet.” Beck is good buddies with O’Reilly who has “seen” The Imam’s BC.

This is merely Slate’s attempt to have an attack of honesty regarding the Journolist scandal of which David was a BIG part.

Wonder if they will ever actually do their JOBS and ask WHY Obama can’t release such a basic and SIMPLE document?

If you helped spread the information then you were absolutely a huge part in getting this to where we’re at now. Don’t ever belittle the role that you play. You and others like you are absolutely critical. We need you all more than you may ever realize.

Glenn Beck (and any other news anchor) raise questions only to the exent that their producers allow.

Lame, weak and pathetic excuse for Beck. There is no good reason to attack people who want the truth about 0thugga’s non-eligibilty to see the light of day.

It looks bad for Beck and all these other pooh-pooohers. They could just say “there are more important things” etc. But to viciously rip “birthers” means they are stupid, bought and sold, blackmailed, or have no courage. Or something.
