This may explain Obama’s refusal to resolve this issue. The progressives are using Birtherism as a divide-and-conquer tool.
This explains why the sudden interest in whacking Pubbies with ambush questions about Obama’s birthplace.
The media can then sort people by this characteristic, and can safely ignore anyone tainted by the Birther brush.
Well of course that’s the media’s strategy. The question is are we stupid enough to fall for it. The answer is probably. Just look at the vitriol aimed at Bush and Romney on this board. Hey, Romney is not my choice and Bush could have done a lot of things differently but I would crawl across broken glass to support Romney, Chuckleberry, Gingrich or really anyone on the GOP side (well not sure about Paul) if it means getting rid of the disaster we have now.
You are correct, but it won’t work...If you saw David Gregory attempt to ambush Boehner on MTP yesterday, or saw Chris Matthews’ latest rant against idiot Republicans...the MSM is attempting to depict the GOP as lunatics for thinking this..yet in doin so they raise the story’s profile..it gets more attenton, and soon Obama will have to address it head on..
