A prime example of that citizen journalism is butteredzillion who has done more than any MSM outlet by orders of magnitude on the Birther issue. Notice the crap thrown by supposed conservatives at (her I believe).
All solid and doced info. And mocked for it by her own team.
Not sure of her exact username spelling so I can’t ping her to the thread.
Somebody braggin about you!
Usually the “conservative” line given against my research is that it is a distraction from more “important” issues and is politically “embarrassing” for conservatives.
For journalists, anything but Obama coming straight out and saying, “I was born in Kenya” (unless he said it for years in a literary biography, in which case that’s not enough...) is just too “speculative” to print - even when the sources used are legal documents like I’ve used in my research. I wrote an article for “American Thinker”, that documented some things about Ken Bennett’s letter of verification - including correcting the mis-reporting of the media which censored out the critical parts of his actual request - but was told that it was too speculative and it would be really stunning if I could actually prove my claim that the HDOH had altered the 1960-64 birth index. Sigh. I’ve already done that, but if the HDOH actually verified to Bennett that Obama was born in Hawaii then who cares whether they altered the 1960-64 birth index?
That’s with a source that has been willing to print Diana West’s articles, focusing on the IMPORTANCE of the eligibility issue. So there’s not a problem printing speculative opinion; there’s just an unwillingness to report facts as if they were facts.
I look at the articles on the Boston Bombing, and there is speculation galore - from the reporters as well as from their sources. Claims by sources are published and then people try to sort out what it means. That’s what people do when an investigation is being done. But when it involves Obama’s eligibility there’s a different standard. And it’s mostly because of fear of ridicule or loss of credibility.
IOW, we are STILL junior high kids who want to be popular and won’t do anything to anger the “in” crowd. Sigh. Until we grow up beyond name-calling, we will have the government we deserve.
My hope and prayer is that the Obama regime’s complicity in bombings that have killed Americans - along with their complicity in Fast and Furious and Benghazi which ALSO killed Americans - will help people realize that the regime is a Hydra. For every head we take a whack at (unsuccessfully, it seems) the regime can grow 3 more at least twice as big. We can’t keep trying to cut off the little heads. Until we take out this tree by its roots we are fighting a losing battle. And the stakes are too high to bow out of this battle because of “embarrassment”.
All the evidence suggests that Obama is a foreign enemy combatant and he is lawlessly taking over the entire government (as well as media, law enforcement, courts, etc), aiding our communist and Islamist enemies to get rid of this country altogether. He was installed by a communist-Islamist coup, and until we are ready and willing to meet that coup in battle, we may as well just give up. I know that’s a big claim and it would take a long time for me to present all the little pieces of evidence that add up to that big claim, but at some point we’ve got to see the forest BECAUSE OF all the trees. At this point only the alternative media is willing to report even the smallest of trees in this forest. And that leaves those of us reporting those trees vulnerable to the claims that we are not “credible”, otherwise conservative publications like “American Thinker” would publish what we’ve got.
Thank you for your encouragement. Anybody who is not in the circular firing squad is a help, and those who are supportive are an extra-big help. The circular firing squad is EXACTLY what our enemies count on, to do their work of destroying credibility and discouraging the foot-soldiers.
