Sadly missing on the Republican side is the leveling voice of the grown-up who will say not only that he takes Obama’s word (and the clear evidence), but that the Republican Party won’t tolerate further discussion. Case closed.
This is simply not true. Most prominent conservatives, even ones regarded as far right by the MSM, dismissed the birther nonsense a long time ago. This conspiracy lives on amongst the fringe and some well meaning but extremely gullible people.
Virtually all major conservatives have been clear that they want nothing to do with crazy birther talk. From Mark Levin, to Michelle Malkin to Anne Coulter - all have said it was conspiracy theory drivel and they didn't want to waste time on.
Yes, birthers are the right's version of the left's truthers, and yes, you will never bury a good conspiracy once it gets going - but almost all conservative leaders and commentators dismissed birther conspiracies a long, long time ago.
She simply cannot be trusted in this debate since she has a divided interest.
BTW, as you've been instructed repeatedly you cannot compare "birthers" to "truthers". With "truthers" there are hundreds of thousands of witnesses who saw the planes fly into the twin towers and the Pentagon.
With "birthers" up until now the ONLY witness to Obama's birth was his auntie in Kenya who said she saw him born there.
That's a lot of difference in anybody's book.
Now, tell us what the conspiracy is about when the sole known witness (until last Wednesday) said the man was born in Kenya?
You gotta' have MORE THAN ONE to have a conspiracy ~ so come up with it and tell us why his auntie initially told the world a different story.
Please!!!!!
And tell us why those people who accepted her story at face value (again with her being the ONLY KNOWN WITNESS) were gullible ~ do you have "other sources" perhaps? Do you mean Neil Ambercrombie ~ did you and he have a meeting over the good smoke and find an answer or two?
BTW, I'm into this just for the mental exercise ~ it's always good to go through the evidence and test whether it's true or not, and to look at the law, examine administrative practices and sequences (that having been my career for many decades before retiring).
A good number of the "birthers" have a good handle on the debate and the Obama side keeps coming up short. It's like they are jinxed or don't know how to tell the truth ~ entirely possible.
This simply cannot be dismissed out of hand like so much nonsense, not and hand over the black bag with power over half the nukes in the world.
I'd think the nuclear command codes issue would be enough to encourage people to demand that this or any other President come totally clean with any element of his or her life. As it is the anti-birthers and Democrat insiders have managed to create a situation where NOBODY who is ANYBODY trusts ANYTHING Obama says.
Good show guys. Wonder what the Chicoms and the Russians think of that.
