'He's probably been videotaped millions of times, yet we don't know anything about him'
Internet media star Andrew Breitbart, who runs Breitbart.com, Breitbart.tv, BigHollywood.com, BigGovernment.com, BigJournalism.com and other Internet websites, says Barack Obama's own account of his life has "Swiss cheese holes" in it.
Affirming his stance that questions about the president's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office will not make a winning strategy and should not be pursued by opponents, he told radio host Hugh Hewitt that the president has "invited" the controversy over his qualifications by refusing to provide basic information.
The interview has been posted on the Breitbart.tv site and the comments come at about the 34:00 mark of the discussion.
Breitbart said that he hasn't read all the research produced by those Hewitt called "birthers."
"I was the person at the national tea party convention that told [WND Founder and editor] Joseph Farah that I thought it was not correct tactics to make the birther situation part of the tea party," he said.

The war is upon us already, no matter what. Zero and the entire leftist/commie/muslim loving/racist-hate-whitey/homo agenda/etc edifice needs to be hit with everything from sniper fire to heavy artillery. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Everything. No holds barred, no topic barred, no concerted careful this or this.
And the MSM is losing its grip on “forming public opinion”. Those who blindly believe the MSM will believe it no matter what. Others are waking up. The internet is the difference. And the fact that more and more people are becoming disgusted with the MSM and searching for the truth. So it needs to be shouted out loud and clear - Speaking Truth to Power - they invented the phrase, we need to do it to them.
No holds barred. Delicacy and tactics and being nice ain’t gonna do it. Trump is the very illustration. He’s crude, he’s brash, he’s telling it the way it should be told, and guess what! People are eating it up because they’re damn sick and tired of the corrupt suits in DC and the artificial Kens and Barbies on TV.
This is terrifying Zero and his peeps. They’re trembling in fear. And more than half Americans think that something is amiss with this president’s eligibility, not 25%. That many may be positive he wasn’t born here but at least 6 out of 10 thing he probably wasn’t.
I think reformed liberal needs a little more education!
And riots - don’t tell me anything about riots. We got riots happening and they will happen more and more. Anyone surreneding the Constitutional principles due to fear of future riots - I cannot describe my disgust for such a cowardly and unprincipled position. Might as well join the leftists because that idiotic talking point was no doubt first invented by them to scare people anyway.
I noticed that sentence too-
The libtard media is having to do an awful lot of ‘1+1 not equal 2’ stories for Obammy, and you would think they would be getting tired of it
Stuffing yourself into a crate is not a “strength.” It is a portrait of stupidity bordering on lunacy. I would not want to be able to call for an idiotic demonstration where every conservative would just drop anything they are doing and run at my beck and call at my whim. Good Lord!
THAT is why the TEA Party is so successful. They are NOT a herd of domesticated beasts of burden who need to be fed sugar lumps as treats for “good behaviour.”
WE think, and most of us arrive at the right answers when faced with a problem. WE don’t ask for “A” leader, because in our own way, we are All leaders. Some quiet. Some noisy. Some extroverts. Some introverts. But we get there.
This country was built on backs like ours. The cats who would not, and could not, be “herded”... like our Founders and the men and women who refused to live as “lemmings” under tyranny.
What appeared to be strength was their weakness. The brits still ain’t over it.
Exactly. I didn't realize what was happening in the beginning and kept becoming disappointed when nobody was talking about eligibility news. For instance, several cases reached the Supreme Court but no national news person discussed it. There were attempts to raise the issue but not at the Chandra Levy, Michael Jackson level.
I can't take their red white and blue banter, seriously, any more.
I don’t disagree that we already have a Constitutional crisis. We actually have several.
The problem is that the electorate, such as it is, wants simply to be able to delegate the work of governance to other people and then go on about their lives. That same electorate barely understands the Constitution beyond the Bill of Rights and they aren’t too sure about the meaning of that. They can be educated, but they do not know how to practice discernment and so, they do not know whom to believe as to meanings, both substantive and historical. Additionally, they have been inculcated to want to be good and *good* has been defined for them for a couple of generations by academia and the media, including the popular entertainment media.
Incompetence and its effect on people’s daily lives is a better tool and it can be used to get him out. It is not as satisfying,perhaps, but if, by some miracle, he was forcibly removed by the military and incarcerated, a world-wide *Free Obama* movement would spring up, complete with riots that would not be confined to the inner cities. Our enemies would vie for the right to offer him asylum because they know this game, have played it before and are experts at it. It would become like the average Latin American or African dictator who was deposed and his cadres purged, only to reappear at a later time with international allies, after having nursed that grudge and engaged in a covert civil war. We would become Contras. How did that turn out for Nicaragua?
We had a stealth coup in America. Not a shot was fired. We retain our Second Amendment rights. What good did our arms do us?
We only retain our vote because they still need that appearance of legality. Slowly, some safeguards are being put into effect in some states to guard that vote, but look at how violently that effort is being contested. Slowly, people are seeing, over and over again, that the left has subverted the electoral process. THIS is a major issue and we can tell because all across Wisconsin, for example, the left is flat out accusing the GOP of subverting the vote, just exactly as they already have. This is an issue we can use to accomplish the same end: get rid of them and of him.
They accomplished this mess incrementally over a long time period. There are numerous fronts in this war, which is divisive for our side because people will not agree on which issues merit a fight. Right now, we have a window of perhaps the next two elections, which include another round of local and state elections, as well. We fail and we will be left with a worse polarization that could include that plurality that we need being intimidated into silence and non-participation.
We do not disagree on substance. The disagreement is over tactics and strategy. We need to fight on grounds which are favorable to us, both short and long term. If we do not fight smart, then the deciding issue will become a rallying point for the opposition that they will turn into a conflagration when the shoe is on the other foot and one of ours can be accused of something that seems as egregious to them (and a plurality of the electorate)as this all does to us.
We cannot fight in hot anger. It needs to be cold, calculated and with persistence across all fronts. It is a long war and anger alone will not see us through to the end.
Exactly! They cry crocodile tears over the Constitution! PHONIES!
If true tyranny comes to American, these phonies will sell their talents to the fascist oligarchy. These so-called conservative bobble heads will spit shine the jack boots crushing our necks.
( And this includes the biggies: Limbaugh, Levine, Ingram, Beck, Coulter and the rest!)
Make that Levin ( no “e”)
I lived under martial law in 1968 in Milwaukee. There is a difference between cowardice and informed caution. When you need to go through checkpoints to go grocery shopping in small groups of only women and young children and when you watch a nervous 19-year-old on the back of a truck with a machine gun circle your block every 15 minutes, you can better speak in rousing tones of your disgust.
Yes, we already have riots of Holder’s people and their unionista drill sergeants. Look at your neighbors who are waking up. How will each of them react to escalation of those tactics, to loud condemnations of Americans in the international press and to the presence of blue helmets in American cities under “responsibility to protect”?
This is only the false war. It is a covert civil war. The big guns have not yet been brought to bear. If we force them to bring down the boot overtly, but prematurely, we will lose. People may be waking up, a bit, but they will back down in the face of force and they will NOT blame the left. They will blame the bearers of the bad news that they will believe started it all.
Go in guns blazing from all sides, to use your metaphor, and once the initial barrage is over, they will calmly regroup and pick us off, one by one, an ally at a time, until we are too discredited to gather ever that paltry 25%. I disagree that we have 60% support. I speak with committed, long term conservatives daily and they mostly want to believe that zerO is simply incompetent and they will vote on that issue. Show me one country that has successfully countered a stealth communist coup quickly and permanently without it escalating into a long, drawn-out and nasty civil war. Those civil wars are not accidents, they are premeditated outcomes desired by the left because, when they hold the reins of power, they can put down insurrections of all sorts quickly, elatively quietly and without much opposition, under the guise of “keeping order”. Outside of power, they can fan the flames of resentment of loss and come back bigger and stronger.
As to the media losing its grip: that is delusional. People will cherry-pick what to believe to what degree, but the absolute power of consensus has been inculcated along with the definition of *good*. Those still “searching for the truth” will eventually decide to accept that *truth* which provides them with the most peace, no matter how superficial. How else did entire populations in Eastern Europe and Latin America live for decades under oppression?
When speaking truth to power, one must have some assurance of the morality of that power. So, the left could do so to the right without repercussion, as Ghandi could use civil disobedience against the British. The present power is immoral and we will not get away with it if we are foolish.
When the supreme court became an extension of the executive branch, we lost our right to petition the government for redress of our grievances. The courts have become, in essence, government enforcers finding that their version of the Constitution is the means to institute and give legitimacy to governance OF the government, by the government, to the government, for the government.
This is a war we cannot afford to lose. The foundation of this country is not just being chipped way, it is being nuked. We have been on the receiving end of a decapitation strike. Fortunately, they have only wounded us.
Took us awhile to heal. Will take much longer to completely recover and regain our strength. Time, however, is not on our side. Another blow like this and we will be finished.
Stopping that deathblow is what we had best be about right now if we are ever going to turn this ship around.
I can’t believe — truly — that it’s possible to keep the truth hidden so thoroughly as it seems the Obama camp has done. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and my eyes are stinging.
Which means that I truly believe that there are people of influence who know his story is phony and won’t speak up.
Which begs the question, “Why?”
What if they know who he really is, which isn’t who “Dreams” says he is? What if his bio parents were both citizens and he was born on American soil, and he’s constitutionally eligible, just the spawn of evil, groomed for no good? And revealing that would only enhance his stature to the left and to his racial base?
We all know something fishy is going on, that there’s a reason this issue gets cold shoulders. Time will tell.
“What if his bio parents were both citizens and he was born on American soil, and he’s constitutionally eligible”
Then he flat out lied to procure the COLB and that is felony fraud. Either way, he would be done for. The LIE, wwhichever it is, is the crime. It wouldn’t matter now if both his prents were Fred and Ethel Mertz, all American...or if he was born in Hawaii or Kalamazoo, Michigan.
He committed fraud to be on the ballot. That is a jailing offense, and it is a high crime.
I’ll gladly turn the key, then throw it away.
I had something a little more...irreversable in mind. He has committed treason, after all. Maybe not before, but surely after.
irreversIble. Coffeeeeee
I hate it when I do that!
I agree.
We cannot do much about the SCOTUS. Kennedy will hang in until zerO is gone and has said as much, but another term will cement the court for another 40 years in favor of penumbras and emanations and international law.
Has the aptly-termed decapitation strike only wounded us? Perhaps in a Monty Python Black Knight sense. Have we really healed? Frankly, I think we are in for an Eastern European-type long slog.
Getting rid of zerO so that he doesn’t have an unfettered second term is job one. The next objectives are secure voting protocols and immigration, including the anchor baby problem. I am hoping that the economic situation can be remedied with returning to use of our own resources, including land and water. We also need to get rid of all the layers of regulatory control that are choking us. The tasks are numerous and immense. They will take a long time. Do we have the political candidates who can win and accomplish all this?
I have seen over and over, here and across the world in relatively recent historical context, how the totalitarian collectivists always seem to live to fight another day, always return and how they subvert freedom, liberty and individualism to their own ends. Individualists are shut out of academia and the media. Discernment is lacking in the people, by design. We allow ourselves to be divided on various issues that, while important, are secondary to basic survival.
We have lost so much of the letter and the spirit of the Bill of Rights and people just keep on keeping on as though we are still in the 1950s. Our children are ignorant of history and have accepted the leftist versions of *freedom*, rights without responsibilities, because they have been taught that it is the government’s job to exercise responsibilities, not theirs.
It’s such a huge fight, with such massive stakes. I hope we are up to the task.
“If true tyranny comes to American”
I heartily agree with your posts but Lt. Col Lakin proves it’s already here.
“If true tyranny comes to American, these phonies will sell their talents to the fascist oligarchy.
It’s already here and they did sell out to the fascist oligarchy.
But....I believe we are already seeing “disappearances” and untimely “accidents”. Look at the Arkanicide surrounding the Clintons. Look at the unsolved murders among those with knowledge about Obama’s natural born citizenship. And....They won't go after prominent conservatives directly. A cousin or two will “disappear” as has recently happened with Michele Malkin’s cousin. I'd bet my entire 401K that every conservative pundit took notice of that “disappearance”.
Long term we must shut down our socialist-funded, voter mob run, and godless, government schools! Simply by attending children become comfortable with socialism, collectivism, and submission to the will of the voting mob.
Conservatives must work to see that every child in this nation has access to a private and conservative education.
Our universities could mostly be shut down, too, if we did as Charles Murray suggests: Competency exams.
That will hugely depend on who writes the history of these times.
I recall personal histories of Hitler' Germany -- e.g., Albert Speer' "Inside The Third Reich". The writers were invariably incapable of explaining why what happened happened.
There is a similar feeling about these days. How did we come to be such a self-destructive society, so dismissive of our past? It is as if, during the sixties, we were infected with a malign virus...and many have now become crazed with its fever.
These are difficult times -- but, as a country, we've been through them before. God bless the USA.
