And you thought birtherism was just for hillbillies and Republicans! David Weigel heard Camille Paglia on NPR yesterday, where the author of Sexual Personae and UArts professor told a no doubt astonished latte-drinking audience that "there are legitimate questions about the documentation of Obama's birth certificate. I'm sorry, I've been following this closely from the start." Indeed she has; we noticed her railing on the topic as far back as November ("simple questions about the certificate were never resolved to my satisfaction"). Now that they've got a genuine intellectual on board, the birthers just need a popular entertainer to carry their message to the sheeple. Come on, Toby Keith, what are you waiting for?

I don’t know what the problems are in Obama’s records, but that something is amiss is pretty much beyond dispute at this point. there’s no other explanation for Obama’s own actions keeping all of the info under wraps.

Scared, they are. Fear, they have.And rightfully so.
If the facts get out about their Obomba man they're toast for the next 20 years.

I’m sorry but the media’s attempt to marginalize those who are skeptical with a sorry, ridiculous sounding name (birthers) is a failure.

Camille Paglia Provides Much-Needed Intellectual Cred for Birthers (Going Mainstream?) It's not credibility unless it is liberal credibility. Conservative yokels can barely remember where they left their stills and Klan robes, much less read a book. < /sarcasm so thick even a liberal can see it>

Invert your subject and object, you do. Green it makes you [and your English teacher, too.]

If Barrys only fear is that he is listed as white, then I dont think that would do that much damage to him.I really don't think that's it.
If that was the case why would soooooo many of his records be off limits?
I truly think that there is incriminating evidence that he can not be considered a "natural born citizen" of the USA.

Now that they've got a genuine intellectual on board Supercilious they are.
Condescending they must be.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Claiming that only now do “birthers” have any intellectual credibility? That in itself is purposely condescending.

The bus with all the wheels falling off - is that the same bus that Obama threw all those people under? Just asking.
