EXCERPT

He added, “These are times of great change and stress, so you see some of those things come out, but it is no doubt promoted by our friends at Fox and others, and that’s part of the politics we have to deal with.”

The only way he can run in 2012 is to get past hi own BC.

In 2011, he was behind in the polls when he got the nomination, and McCain gave him a pass. It was McCains job to force the issue, and keep Obama honest. That was McCains first job as candidate, and he failed miserably.

Now that my head is clearing a bit from my truck crash concussion, I noticed that the point of my original post was lost and forgotten when TXnMA changed the subject to grammar and other things.

Admittedly, my post was not all that significant, but isn't it interesting how the Fabian afterbirthers and obama supporters operate?

Thank you!!1 When I was fighting with the OBOTS I got tired of writing “certified” all the time. They kept trying to tell me “he has already given it” and I said NOOOO, it is just a PICTURE!!!

Soooo, I even thought of this post, and they still didn’t get it, but there is a very famous “Treachery of Images” thing:

Paranoia isn’t a winning issue. You’d think the Democratics would figure that out.

The most frightening moment in US history.

NO WAY!!!

The NBC issue and Nazy Pelosi's certifying his eligibility trumps that. The Constitution under attack???

FOX's crew got marching orders to be "After-Birthers" big time!

They have been told NOT to touch this treason scandal with a ten-foot pole!!

They have been instructed to viciously attack anyone who brings up this issue, such as Glenn Book, Coulter, Whoraldo, Wiehl and other busty long legged "McDaddys" cowardly enablers and for good measure throw in Rush as well!!!

Well, that’s why Axelrod’s charge/assertion is so damn crazy and false.

It's not concern you are seeing. It's them using birthers to tar Republicans. The Dims love birthers.

Exactly. Which cable news network has devoted the most airtime to discussing Birthers and Obama's birth certificate? MSNBC. Olbermann and Maddow love the issue so much precisely *because* they can use it as a springboard to make fun of conservatives.

And similarly, whether he was conflating Birtherism and the Tea Party movement, or whether he was just looking to scapegoat Fox, Axelrod is just plain wrong to blame Fox for promoting Birtherism.

Fox, to my knowledge, has never put a Birther on-air to talk about Birtherism. Beck and O’Reilly have both openly rejected and even mocked Birtherism. Shepard Smith gave perhaps the fiercest denouncement of Birtherism I’ve seen from any news anchor, anywhere.

The most Axelrod could claim is that there’s been a handful of isolated instances such as when Hannity briefly suggested that people who wanted to see the long-form birth certificate weren’t necessarily crazy. But even if you count all of those, and lump them together, they *still* won’t be as much promotion as Lou Dobbs gave to Birtherism on CNN.

“Axelrod fanning the fires” bump! Haha! Now that he’s quitting, he probably doesn’t mind watching BO crumble some more. Haha!

"Interesting...WHO then were the first "Birthers"???"

If I recall correctly, they were Hillary supporters and 9/11 Truthers.
