Donald Trump has joined the "birthers," the odd movement that questions President Barack Obama's Hawaii birth certificate. That's a good way for the celebrity billionaire to appear as though he's making a serious run for the Republican presidential nomination, which he says he is considering. It also makes him sound like a secret agent for the Democrats.
That oddly credible possibility has been raised by frustrated conservatives like radio talk-show host John Gibson, who sounded furious earlier this week at the way birthers make Republicans look like the crazy party.
That unfortunate image only hurts the party's chances with the sensible independent swing voters it needs to win general elections. Now Trump is bringing even more attention to the birthers. Surely, Gibson speculated, tongue only partly in cheek, Trump sounds like some sort of RINO, a Republican-in-name-only who's secretly trying to help Obama.
Robert Schlesinger, opinion editor at U.S. News and World Report, similarly asked in a blog whether Trump is "really an Obama sleeper agent."
Indeed, if Obama is not directly supporting Trump, he has good reason to root secretly for the birther movement, whose backing Trump seeks....

The great thing about that is that the black voters would stay away in droves. Can you say “President” Palin?
The funniest line I ever heard was when I was a Sheriff Explorer and Officer I was riding with pulled over some guy and asked for his registration and I.D.
They guy says “Do you know who I am?”
And the officer replies “Well, you appear to be an amnesia victim. If you’ll hand me your I.D. we can all be certain who you really are”.
I tried so hard not to laugh and when we got back in the car to run his license and registration I broke out laughing.
Have to disagree. Charles Rangel, re-elected. Marion Barry, re-elected. The guy from New Orleans with 100K USD in his freezer, re-elected.
And the cornerstone of racial preference: OJ walks.
LMAO
Liberals are just waking up to this.
“A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. .. State Department’s “no travel” list in 1981.”
I bet you do not have a source for that “fact.”
Good luck. She was part of his admin and is just as guilty as he is. Guilt by association.

Those were black politicians. If Hillary eased Barry out of the way, don’t you think many blacks would be furious?
Trumandogz came back out from under his rock I see. have you seen james777 lately? he seems to have vanished.
You know what I love best about all of these guys? They will extrapolate any theory about anybody except for one. Why doesn’t Obama just show his birth certificate. They just can’t seem to get their head around that one.
Again, horsesh*t! There was no such travel ban. I’ve posted the evidence of that numerous times here at FR. Please look it up. Stop perpetuating this rumor.
It was very easy for Americans to travel to Pakistan in 1981. Pakistan was issuing 30-day visas at the airports upon arrival.
The more this Pres__ent screws up the more people are going to hate him and birther suspicion will only reinforce their distrust. It will be the vitriolic attack on birthers that will backfire on the Bolshies, since, the One is already seen as a liability by people who haven’t drunk the cool-aid.
No they got their game down.
I am sick at home today so I start flipping between the news channels. I land on MSNBC and what a bunch of loons. They actually think they are funny and possess a superior intellect.
They are midway carnies who hit the jackpot and have to act as immature as possible to hold their ridiculously unsupportable positions.
They support their guy no matter what and use whatever obtuse construct they can to maintain whatever facade they are pushing today.
Odd movement???????
I find it odd that not a single prominent republican (including McCain) cannot fart without being challenged on eligibility issues, and yet 50 states have allowed an illegal alien sympathetic to terrorists on the democrat national ballot for president.
I find it odd that our top republican representative in the House is willing to take Obama’s word for it, after delivering that “HELL NO YOU CAN’T” speech to congress on Obamacare.
Every promise and principle Obama articulated during the election has been broken and violated, EXCEPT FOR HIS PLEDGE TO HOMOSEXUALS!!!
Obama Ignores judicial court orders, and then has the audacity to declare existing law unconstitutional as justification for not enforcing it!
EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA KNOWS this man is holding the office illegitimately, but when someone stands up and asks for verification of a sworn statement of status.... they are referred to as “ODD”????
Stop taking this crap America. We are NOT ODD for expecting our representatives to do their job... Which they clearly have FAILED TO DO!
Damn straight Obama is a bold faced liar! and every single representative and public official that allowed this to happen needs to be held accountable!
So what if we have a constitutional crisis? Who cares if the president gets “Embarrassed”?
The constitution is either enforceable, or IT IS NOT!
We need to FACE that crisis, or we will be choosing to face the END OF AMERICA by default... because our constitution won’t be worth SPIT!
And until someone PROVES he is legitimate, then we are by no means odd... his failure to prove and more importantly his REFUSAL to prove IS VINDICATION OF OUR CLAIMS!
The real movement here that is truly odd is the socialist one... and America apparently doesn’t even see it coming.
Hell... it’s here! but we are odd... go figure.
Well stated, thanks.
Like of the advice liberals give Republicans and conservatives, you have to consider the motives of the adviser.
If the idiot RINOs read 1/8th the research Freepers have done over the past two and one half years, they’d be “birthers”, too.
They are all complicit...and the “talking heads”, as well.
I’m gonna be fresh outta forgiveness when the SHTF.
If he were shown to be born in the Lincoln bedroom on the 4th of July, the fact remains that his father was not, and never became a US citizen. He is therefore not a natural born citizen.
