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.

Thank you, but I don’t feel the same way. So many FReepers gave SO much time and effort to get the info, I just help spread it.
I’m sure a lot of the info fell on deaf ears. However, I understand your sediment, tree, forest, etc....
Thanks! =)
I think those like Laura, Ann, Beck et el, as well as those in gongress, have been told that if it is proven that Obama is not elligible the collateral damage will be so great that the country will deteriorate into chaos. Their fears of chaos is greater then the damage done if he remains. Does that make sense?

I'm suspicious too, but I am more curious as to w.h.y.??? would SLATE run with this story, it doesn't make any sense, ya know?
No because the damage he is causing is off the charts. You know have Islamic moles throughout the US govt, military and intel helping to kill US soldiers. Wonder why the body counts of US soldiers keep going up.
Chaos is preferable. Doing nothing will be far worse. Elections will be meaningless because they and their islamic pals control all of TV. ALL of TV is pro-Islamic now including Fox/Saudi News.
It's surprising that he'd want to report on this, and it's also surprising that SLATE would want to publish it.
If being called a “birther” puts me in the same group as retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, then I am guilty as charged.
I consider G.Beck to be a stealth robot underder remote control by the ROMNEY-&-Meg-Whitman.the.billionaire-4-EVER crowd.
I’ll never forget the moment I heard Annie respond to the incessant persistent question, WHO’S THE BEST CONSERVATIVE FOR 2012, and she finally replied, “Well, I happen to like Mitt Romney.”
I simply gasped.
The people on your list obviously all are aligned with a hidden agenda which they intend to foist upon the USA.
And they all are laughing all the way to the bank, every single day.....
>>No because the damage he is causing is off the charts.<<
I know that’s the way you and I see it but I don’t think that is the way they see it.
Oh you know they are all laughing all the way to the bank. I think the only talk show host I trust is probably Rush and Hannity. Maybe Levin and Savage. Sean is a nice guy and sometimes a lightweight who is too freindly with RINOs. I think Rush is the only real deal.
The rest are all bandwagon jumpers trying to cash in. I liked Ann Coulter but she pretty much skimmed the cream off the books. The rest are all pretty lame.
Beck is too friendly with O’Reilly. We are being played by most of these people.
Boortz is a bore and an aggie. . .
I’m going to pose a rhetorical question:
Is it possible that Mitt Romney intends to run for president in 2012 AND that he actually WANTS to ensure that he loses to Barack Obama?
HUH?! I guessed: spineless, regarding BO's eligibility.
HUH?! I guessed: spineless, regarding BO's eligibility.
He is so desperate to keep the cover on his BC. This speech was about saving his ass, not about Iraq.
The testimony from this General is nothing less than devastating. Soebarkah will not be sleeping tonight, and will be in hiding tomorrow until the judge makes the call in his favor. If the judge orders discovery I expect Soebarkah to go into a murderous rage.
Surprisingly, Hannity has stayed away from the issue as well. They will all be proven wrong in due time. Last night was a desperate attempt to regain authority and look like a real CIC and he failed miserably. He will never fill the shoes of a Commander in Chief. He needs to come clean with the American people and release all of his records.
I don't believe these concerns are "widely held" by the American public or military. If there were valid concerns, then it might be an issue. But there is not one bit of evidence that he was born anywhere but the United States.
“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.”
Weak... Pathetically weak... Whatever happened to “Question with Boldness?” Huh?
Beck, do us all a favor, since you love the Constitution so much. Please define for the rest of the American people just WHAT a “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” is.
And then, help yourself to as many helpings of crow as you can handle.
Then, and only then, will the nearly 50% of your viewers consider turning your show back on again.
