onald Trump appeared on the O'Reilly Factor last night and proceeded to reiterate, yet again, how he doesn't think that Obama was born in the United States and that he is not showing his birth certificate because it might show that he is a Muslim and on and on.
It was all of the same stuff he has been saying over and over and over and over and over for the past two weeks. Thankfully, Trump's point of view was not shared by the rest of O'Reilly's guests or even by O'Reilly himself.
During their interview, O'Reilly expressed disbelief that Trump was actually a birther at all, and O'Reilly's next guest, Karl Rove, also tried to distance himself and the rest of the Republican party from Trump's newfound birtherism.

I peg you as an "Obamiac."
Rove, the political operative, again trying to influence rather than analyze.
Rove should not have a forum on Fox as a paid commentator. He’s a political operative trying to sway things as he wants them to go.
Gotta wonder just what Rove is afraid of? (Besides his own shadow)
Well Trump is a joke and no one takes him seriously but the number one rino doesn’t tell us jack. Get this fat faced anti-tea party jack ass rove out of our party.
Tokyo has certainly discredited RINOs.
I still think he’s a better choice than Mittens Romney.
Amazing! I was just about to voice those very sentiments! Thanks!
Screw Karl Rove and his band of rino quasi-socialists.
I think I will write to the author, Steven Loeb, and demand that he hire me for his business magazine, as I will tell him that I graduated from Wharton and could contribute a ton to his business.
But if he demands to see my diploma and transcript, I’ll cry sexism and go crying to Whoopi Goldberg and the MSM. In fact, we should all do this!
After the second interview ON BOR tonight, I do take him seriously. No other conventional politician is going to challenge China or OPEC like he would.
And Trump rightfully points out that if not for GWB, we wouldn’t have 0bama.
Somebody tell Rove he doesn’t speak for Republicans.
I’m not a big fan of Karl Rove’s but after listening to him tonight on “The Factor” I must admit that I agree with Karl Rove:
1. The birth certificate issue that Trump is trumpetting is a non-starter with most Americans. With the unemployment rate at close to 10% and gasoline prices at close to $4 per gallon there are substantive issues to use in the 2011 election against 0bama. The unemployed and those who can’t afford groceries and gasoline simply don’t care about the president’s birth certificate.
2. Trump says he is going to force China to raise the value of their yuan by taxing Chinese goods by 25%. He’s nuts!!! We need the Chinese to buy our treasury bonds. If Trump were to try putting the squeeze on China, they’ll react by dumping our bonds on the market.
3 Trump thinks we should just go in and “take” Iraq’s oil. We saw ghow the Iraqi’s fought a guerilla war against the US from 2004 until the surge in 2007. It would be the same thing all over again (roadside bombings, oil pipeline explosions, suicide bombings) if we tried to do it again. And does he think the world is just going to stand by and
let” the US take Iraq’s oil. China already has oil contract’s going in iraq and will strongly defend those contracts.
Donald Trump is a buffoon...a rich buffoon, but a buffoon nonetheless.
The real question is... Was Bill Oh’Really born on Jupiter or Mars...
Sounds like “Rove, you magnificant ba$tard” has turned into “Rove, you ba$tard.”
Rove is sounding like a latter day Carl Bernstein. Nothing is as good or big or important as what HE did. Rove has taken shots at a few too many conservatives, particularly conservative women. He’s trashed that part of the party’s voters (51%) who have questions about Brackets’ origins. He can’t seem to just shut up, but instead takes every opportunity to those who don’t march lockstep with him.
Rove, we gave you 8 years and you squandered it. I doubt this clown even knows a conservative.
Most Americans can walk and chew gum: this is not a distraction. Get some sense Rove!
