The (unfortunately misguided) Lt. Lakin aside, the face of this cause is kooks and frauds. It's one of the reasons candidates run away from the subject. (That and the complete lack of substance.)The only people that will be bringing it up during the campaign will be Democrats in an effort to embarrass Republicans.

Really? Because the MSM is calling anyone who doubts that Obama is Christian a "kook", and I guarantee every republican will run from that question, too, or else say "I'm sure Obama is a Christian". Why? Because that's what spineless professional politicians who lack principles do. Same with the birth certificate issue. Whether Berg and Taitz are kooks is irrelevant to the question of whether Obama is eligible to be president. And, by the way, the only reason that Taitz and Berg are the "face" of the "birther" efforts is because the MSM will only show those that are on the fringe. The serious people don't get airplay. I don't knwo the answer to the birth certificate question, but seeing so-called conservatives buy into the MSM narrative on the subject makes me sick.

Whether Berg and Taitz are kooks is irrelevant to the question of whether Obama is eligible to be president.

Not at all. It goes to the very heart of the credibility of the accusations.

There is a good reason the Heritage Foundation and the Landmark Legal Foundation and all the other "serious people" will not get anywhere near birtherism. Despite 2 years of relentless effort, there is no smoking gun.

...the only reason that Taitz and Berg are the "face" of the "birther" efforts is because the MSM will only show those that are on the fringe.

It was birthers, not the MSM, who chose to embrace Orly, Philip Berg, Andy Martin, Joseph Farah, Tim Adams, Rev. Manning, The American Grand Jury, Post & Email, Lucas Smith, Ron Polland and all the others who peddle the false hope of an easy solution for the mess the ill-informed voters have created.
