Media foam at the mouth over Mitt‘s ’birth certificate’ joke

Mitt Romney cracked a joke at a campaign stop this afternoon in Michigan which has people on both sides of the aisle in a frenzy. Some say it was a poke at birthers, yet birthers are taking it to mean that Romney’s coming on board with them. Some say it was a poke at liberals who whisper about Romney’s racist undertones. In response, liberals are… well, continuing to call Romney a racist.

But I disagree with both of these assumptions. I think the joke was aimed squarely at the media.

Let’s face it — the “birther” movement has had no bigger fan than the mainstream media who likes to paint all Republicans as hateful racists who cling to God, guns and conspiracy theories to protect themselves from an apocalyptic invasion of minorities and gays, or something. So while the reporters at the Romney rally today gasped at Romney’s supposedly overt racism, the audience got the joke, responding to Romney’s dry humor with applause and laughter.

It’s a perfect example of a “secondary reaction” joke, Ace of Spades HQ writes. “The joke itself is lame. The humor comes from imagining the reaction of the thin-skinned Obama and his hyperprotective partisans in the press.”

It’s true — the reaction of the media to Romney’s joke has been hysterical:

– Never one to overreact, MSNBC calmly discussed the “breaking news” of Romney’s quip and labeled it the “most despicable bigotry we can imagine.” (Seriously? Dear MSNBC, open a history book once in a while, will ya?)

– Mediaite’s resident boy-who-cried-racist Tommy Christopher proclaimed that MSNBC’s Touré was right in accusing Romney of using “n***rization” as a campaign tool to “racially marginalize” President Obama.

–CNN’s John King tweeted that his “birther comment” ruined a perfectly good day for Romney.

–Reporters at the Huffington Post were beside themselves, saying it was “awkward for Romney to play on the birther conspiracies that have plagued Barack Obama.” Uh, awkward for whom, exactly?

–Salon.com headlined their report, “Romney Goes Birther,” and said the joke was proof the GOP candidate was “doubling down on whiteness.”

–The Washington Post also weighed in, writing that Romney’s joke “injected the toxic issue of birtherism into an already bitter presidential race.” Wah-wah.

Like the media and any other “rational” person, the Obama camp also didn‘t think Romney’s joke was funny:

“Throughout this campaign, Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them,” said campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt. “Gov. Romney’s decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America.”

The outraged Obama campaign wasted no time in trying to use this “new low for Romney” as a springboard for a new email fundraising push. Yet the Obama campaign itself has repeatedly joked about the conspiracy theories surrounding President Obama’s birth certificate — they even make money off of it!

Gee, you know who else likes to joke about birthers? Barack Obama does:

I think perhaps Romney should just randomly insert the words “birth certificate” into every stump speech he delivers from here on out — it’s the best way to get media attention. Obama accuses Romney of being a tax-dodging felon and the media yawns. Romney cracks a birth certificate joke and they soil themselves. I bet if Ann Romney added “birth certificate” to her remarks at the upcoming convention, the media wouldn’t hesitate to broadcast it.

And if you’re “insulted” by it, you were going to vote for Mr. Obama anyhow!!

[ncalburt]

I wish I had posted your comment !
I needed that laugh.

[workerbee]

Yep, all this feigned indignation, over something as simple as a birth certificate. Yet still, amidst all their huffing and puffing.... not one of them says publically -- hey, you know, we've never actually seen the birth certificate.

Think of the time, money, energy and utter willfulness it takes to IGNORE something so trivial.

[MrB]

I think it was WKRP that had some meme going with saying “booger” after you were done speaking.

The Romney campaign should say “birth certificate” in the same way.

[ncalburt]

He gave it to them ,the Obama base , the media , right between the eyes .
They reacted just like he wanted them too .

Played to perfect.

[353FMG]

“....proof Obama is an Indonesian citizen.”

.
Means totally nothing unless congresscritters grow a spine and dare to take action.

All they have to do is to start the ball rolling and you will see the likes of Limbaugh, O’Reilly and Hennessy starting to chime in creating an unstoppable avalanche.

"Just leave Obama alone!"

[Bubba_Leroy]

Tomorrow, Romney needs to make a joke about Obama’s secret college transcripts.

[fabian]

yeah..and Joe Arpaio’s investigators already have said it is a forgery! Daaaaa! The man is a fraud! Obama, that is.

[ncalburt]

The most effective way to deal with Alinskites and their minions ( State media )is to MOCK and Chide.

They just collapse.

Romney's team played it to perfect.

...”the reaction of the media to Romney’s joke has been hysterical:”

That was a joke? If it was, it’s funny because it’s true.

[tomkat]

[DefeatCorruption]

It also brings attention to all the other documents he refuses to release. It gets people thinking about it. They wonder why he’s so secretive and protective about his past - especially now that there’s a movie out there about it.

Right on.

[RatRipper]

I agree. Romney made a perfect pitch. The MSM hit into a double play. Too funny!!

[LukeSW]

Romney should bring his Harvard Law grades, his Harvard Business School grades and his BYU undergrad grades to the convention. Then ask, who is Obama anyway? Where are his grades? Why does he have a phony SS card? Why is his BC a forgery? And then make the point: if he wasn’t elected by Democrats he couldn’t even get a Security Clearance!!!

[Yosemitest]

This disgusting Curse on our Nation named Barack Hussein Obama II, aka Barry Soetoro, has a real birth certificate, with his right footprint on it.
All you have to do is look for it.

Here's some critical sources and FACTS.
People can go to www.scribd.com and read their pages 20 thru 32 ,

For those of you who don't know, remember this:

The Democrats knew about this BEFORE Obama was elected in 2008!

8 Congressional attempts from June 2004 to February 2008 to alter Article II Section 1 Clause 5 of the US Constitution, proves to me

that the DNC knew that Obama was born in Kenya.

Read it for yourself.

9. April 10, 2008, Sen McCaskill, Claire (D) (MO) Senate Res.511 passed declaring Senator John McCain a Natural Born Citizen.
But it was never in question. It was cosponsored by DNC Presidential Candidate Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.

Just before the 2008 election Barack Obama's election team spent $1.4 million blocking access to all of Obama's records.

Barack Hussein Obama II is UNCONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED.
There were 8 attempts by Democrats to try to "Change the Qualification Rules" BEFORE Obama was elected.
They KNOW Obama's ILLEGAL ... AND .... UNQUALIFIED!

Obama's record is hard to find.
Check this link out Sunday, June 27, 2004 Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate.

Think about this.

"On August 4, 1961 Obama's mother, father and grandmother were attending a Muslim festival in Mombasa , Kenya .

Mother had been refused entry to airplanes due to her nine month pregnancy.
It was a hot August day at the festival so the Obamas went to the beach to cool off.
While swimming in the ocean his mother experienced labor pains so was rushed to the Coast Provincial

General Hospital, Mombasa, Kenya where Obama was born a few hours later at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961(what a sad day for the USA!).
Four days later his mother flew to Hawaii and registered his birth in Honolulu as a certificate of live birth which omitted the place and hospital of birth."

Here's something to ponder.

I think it more likely that the trip from Kenya actually occurred in August 1961, shortly after BHO-II's birth at the Coast Province General Hospital in Mombasa.
Ann and her newborn son flew from Nairobi to London, via BOAC Flight BA162 and then took the non-stop BOAC flight from London to Vancouver, Canada.
She then traveled the 110 miles or so, across the border, to Seattle in time to start Fall Semester, night-school extension classes at the University of Washington.
The trip would be challenging for a new mother, but she was young, healthy, intelligent, and capable.
BOAC was very accomodating to mothers with young children back in the 1960s. No real problem!

From the Airline Timetable Images - List of Complete Timetables, the cost of BOAC from April 24,1960 until October 1, 1962 was:
From Vancouver to Nairobi cost in Canadian Dollars:
Single Return
DL 1115.00 2026.80
F 1055.50 1918.80
T 764.00 1396.00
Y 701.00 1282.60



Passanger Fares could be "FLY NOW AND PAY LATER".
Arrangements could be made whereby residents of certain areas may, on payment of a 10% deposit, travel immediately and pay the balance of fare in monthly instalments.

If you're wondering about where the money came from, think about this.
Look at all the financial supporters Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. had.
"In 1959, Obama Sr. received a scholarship in economics through a program organized by nationalist leader Tom Mboya.
The program offered Western educational opportunities to outstanding Kenyan students.[22][23][24]
Initial financial supporters of the program included Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, and Elizabeth Mooney Kirk,
a literacy advocate who provided most of the financial support for Obama Sr.'s early years in the United States, according to the Tom Mboya archives at Stanford University.
Funds provided the following year by John F. Kennedy's family paid off old debts of the project and subsidized student stipends,
thereby indirectly benefiting Obama Sr. and other members of the 1959 group of scholarship holders.

Yes, it's quite clear that money wasn't a problem for the Marxists Revolutionaries.


Passanger Information for that time frame can be found here.
Connections from Nairobi - Lusaka - Salisbury can be found here.

The BOAC World Routes Map is found here.

Departure arrival times from Britian to Nairobi are found here.

Departure arrival times for London and Vancouver are found here.

Now think about those facts,and statements.
The forgeries I'm aware of, are the three Birth Cretificate Barack Hussein Obama II has forged.
I don't trust evidence put forth by Obama supporters.
The disappearance of too much evidence on Obama is strong enough for me to know that he was born in Kenya.

Read INS DOC FOUND: U.S. CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO ONE EAST AFRICAN-BORN CHILD OF U.S. CITIZEN IN 1961!
The documents provided in that article are very damaging to Obama, and well worth your time.

Most of these early "supporters" of the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF were party to the Communists "spooks".
There's a great volume of history you have to go through to understand this, and it goes back to about 1850.

Read these three articles on one of my earlier post:

Are you getting the depth of this Fabian Society takeover?

Watch "Fabian Society" 1, then watch "Fabian Society" 2, and then watch "Fabian Society" 3.

You wouldn't believe the information here

It's deep, it's ugly, and most people WILL NOT ... CAN NOT ... accept the truth.

Anybody recall a press release telling the masses about federal intelligence notes sent warning police about this cabal?

Romney for the home run today.
