'Birthers' no longer 'suckers'?

"So we now have three or four liberal Democrats – the 'Hardball' trio and possibly the Aloha governor – taking what had been a birtherian position in favor of releasing the archival certificate," wrote Taranto.

And now here's Taranto's delicate retreat: "Our view has long been that the birthers are playing a sucker's game – that they are aiding Obama by making it easier for his supporters to depict his critics as wackos and divert attention from real questions about his political character. This change in liberal attitudes may be a sign that the game is no longer working to Obama's advantage. It could be that his baneful policies have led more Americans to harbor doubts about his very legitimacy."

Taranto doesn't speak for the Wall Street Journal officially, so when he says "our view," he's really talking about his view. And it certainly sounds like he is now leaving room for the possibility that this issue has become central to Obama's viability as a re-election candidate – which is what I have been saying all along.

Here is the link to the Taranto's WSJ "birther" comments:

WSJ, like FOX News, is a Murdock property and now Taranto, like Megyn Kelly earlier this week, has given the Abercrombie story "legs" kicking the door wide open for right-wing talkers to at least talk "about" Abercrombie's embrace of a "birtherian position" and Matthews and company's adoption of that position.

Was Barry born in HI? Probably. The question remains...why spend millions on lawyers and court fees to keep the LFBC hidden vs $15 to release it? Inquiring minds want to know just what it contains that is apparently so embarrassing and hurtful to The Won.

ping...

Another conservative news source (WSJ) backs off enforcing the “birthers are nuts” meme...

[Frantzie]

Fox/Mudoch = biggest shareholder Saudi Prince Al Waleed who is the investment manager for the Saudi royal family. The same Saudis financing Al Qeada to kill American soldiers. Keep watching TV suckers - it enables and empowers your enemies. Taranto is a POS.

[WellyP]

They’ll show a LFBC, claim it is “real” but no one will be allowed to examine it.

[freekitty]

The Dems have to kill it before the election or bring it out so Hillary can run.

Do old style Hawaii birth certificates have a place for the religion of the parents and/or the baby?

[FreeAtlanta]

There is so much that we still don't know about the jerk that the media could have revealed with a little pre-election effort. Can you imagine if John McCain or Sarah Palin's mothers had nude photos of themselves?

I know this is mostly irrelevant about the candidate (other than the morals they were raised up with), but only recently have all the nude photos appeared of Barry's mom. Meanwhile the media is going to 4th and 5th relatives removed to reveal dirt associated with people associated with Gov. Palin. I am long tired of the double standard.

[GOPsterinMA]

BINGO!

The BC either states “Muslim” or lists another entity as the father. My two guesses.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

. . . We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. . . .

State controlled American media (SCAM) Headline?

Only the little people show long-form birth certificates
Barack Helmsley Obama Refuses To Release BC
"Our ruling class can't be bothered.. uh, unless they are Republicans like McCain," say pundits

You birther nutjobs should know your place! The ruling class is above all that, they don't have to abide that equality stuff.

[wintertime]

Yeah! Trananto. Let's see how fast you can back peddle.

I remember your lame opinion pieces when Obama’s natural born citizenship became and issue. YOU ARE A WORTHLESS WEENIE!

---

No religion information is on any Hawaii birth certificate.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I’ve always thought he was born in Hawaii. But, I’ve also thought there is something embarrassing on the birth certificate. Such as:

Someone other than Barack Obama Sr. is his father.

His parents were not married, and cert. shows he was born out of wedlock.

No father is listed.

His name at birth is something other than Barack Obama Jr.

Why else would he spend into the millions to legally stall efforts to get a routine document we all possess??? There’s something being hidden.

[Seizethecarp]

Price Al Waleed so-called “biggest” share is a tiny non-controlling interest. Influence and access to Murdock and his board, yes, but not remotely close to control or ability to call any shots. See the NewsCorp 10-K.

NewsCorp recently bought a share in one of Al Waleed’s Saudi properties so NewsCorp has a cross-influencing ownership there with Al Waleed.

[libertyhoundusnr]

Two years and access to the best forgers the US has to offer, and he still hasn’t been able to come up with a Birth Cert. He needs to get ahold of the folks that sell autographed sports items at the malls and flea markets. At least their counterfeits are selling.

[Krankor]

It has the sex of the child, right. If the baby was a hermaphrodite, it would have to be noted as such, correct?

My daughter and son were both born in Honolulu..’69 and ‘73. There is no space to indicate religion on their BC’s. I assume it was the same in ‘61.

[dennisw]

One possibility for sure

[Politics4US]

No, it doesn’t list the religion. I still think that he doesn’t have one, and he wasn’t born in America.
