Breitbart Busts Birther at Tea Party Confab

by Charles Cooper
Attending the Tea Party Convention in Nashville this weekend, The Washington Independent's always-excellent David Weigel recounts an extraordinary hallway confrontation between online publisher Andrew Breitbart and WorldNetDaily Editor-in-Chief Joseph Farah over the question of President Obama's citizenship.

*snip*

"Prove your case."

"I should prove, what, a birth certificate that may or may not exist?" Farah had gotten irritated. "That’s ridiculous. You don’t even understand the fundamental tenets of what journalism is about, Andrew. It’s not about proving things. It’s about asking questions and seeking truth."

Breitbart tensed up after that insult. "Right."

"I know you’re not a journalist, so that’s fine. But don’t diminish people who’ve been doing this for 35 years."

"So you’re going to go on record saying that I’m not a journalist?"

"Are you? I’ve never heard you claim to be. Are you?"

"I’ll let it be answered by you."

"Well, I knew [Matt]Drudge didn’t consider himself a journalist, so I assumed that you were. … I don’t know, I’m not trying to insult you."

"You did."

Fine tuning the truth about Breitbart and Sarah Palin.

Someone told me that Breitbart wants Sarah Palin to be the next Oprah. Actually, it was more respectful than that. He wants Palin to be the next kingmaker:

I feel compelled to clarify that.

For those who don’t know my take on Sarah:
If Palin is strongly prolife and pro-borders, I do hope she enters the primary. Hand-gate convinces me more than ever that she has little to complain about. I also heard Boortz try to bash her, and his accusations were completely lame.

>> All the birther movement needs for complete and ultimate victory is to have one State require documentation of Natural Born Status to be placed on the Presidential primary and general election ballot. It is well within the States’ Constitutional prerogative to do so.

The MSM, Obama and Dems would fume and sputter, but to no avail. Obama would have to cough up the original BC or explain why he was leaving his name off of a State’s ballot.

And it doesn’t matter which State. Be it ever so red, or have only 3 electoral votes, an incumbent President can’t be leaving his name off the ballot of any one of the 57 States.

Birther efforts should be directed solely to this end, as it at once both brings Obama to task, advances the cause of the States against the Federal power, and brings the Constitution to the forefront. <<

Exactly, birthers should be setting up roadblocks and traps for 2012, not whining that the criminal drove by them in 2008...

We’ve gotten to the point where every establishment politician falsely and ridiculously claims to be “anti-establishment”.

Anti-establishment furor comes (usually in a bad economy) and then dies down like it did after we won Congress in 1994. This time I hope we don’t let it die down. The next congress/ President must be held accountable no matter which party is in charge.

This president and congressional majority must be made an example of. Now with the Steele worm in the RNC, it’s not going to be so easy.
