Joseph Farah at Tea Party Convention in Nashville compares the evidence of the birth of Jesus vs. evidence for President Obama...Erick Erickson slams Farah, From Redstate: "I was profoundly disappointed to hear Joseph Farah of World Net Daily hijack the convention and try to treat the birther issue as legitimate. Yesterday, I spent a lot of time talking about the meaning of the tea party movement and voter angst. Once Farah opened his claptrap, every

Here's one for you to debunk, sweetie.
Obama in 1980 said he was born in Mombasa, KenyaML/NJFreeRepublic thread from Dec 2009. Read it!

Redstate hates Palin and was against the tea party before he was for it. Enough said.
I said “debunk a birther claim that is based in delusion or urban legend,” sweetie. Race Bannon’s story doesn’t fit eith of those categories. So there’s nothing to debunk, sweetie.
Race Bannon does say that he cannot guarantee that the boy with whom he spoke was Obama. Yet, once again birthers have taken something as fact that wasn’t presented as fact.

Is that how you win National Elections, by bothering the opposiyion? Silly me, I thought you won by having better ideas and better candidates.
The focus should be on Congress, and their out of control, unconstitutional spending schemes.
I don’t know who Erikson is, never hear of her before.
But she’s right.
Birthers are a dead end.
His criticism is fair game ... at a ‘Show Me Your Birth Certificate National Convention’.
I predict Tea Party contributions will freefall.
Exactly. They don’t get it.
It’s over. Back to business as usual.
Do you think it unreasonable to ask that Obama show at least as much proof that he is eligible as someone who wants to obtain an NJ Driver's License?

I saw a snippet of Farah giving his speech last night on C-SPAN. As soon as I saw the name I moved on as I have utterly no regard for their credibility. I go back to the days of Corsi and the TTC and his continuing assertions using partial truths. It is their way of rousing the populace and securing donations I guess. I’ve never felt they had the true interest of the conservative movement at heart. You don’t need to distort things to get the truth out.
Which part do you disagree with. All of what I said is true.

Why even bother to bring this stuff up? The guy is President. He isn’t likely to be impeached anytime soon. But he is a Socialist, and a radical, and there is plenty to bash him about without the birth certificate controversy being promoted. Unless of course, Farah is promoting a BOOK, or his increasingly tabloid website. If that is so than it was a huge mistake to invite him to the TPC.
Erickson is off base here. The birth ceritficate issue is at least “legitmate” to the extent that Obama refuses to produce it — yet the Dems not only demand conservatives document every aspect of their lives they even send their J.V. in to hack Sarah Palin’s emails and other such subterfuge.
The Tea Party will be able to accommodate conflicting views inside its own environs over relatively small issues like the birth certificate. To listen to Erickson, you’d think Farah got up and started advocating Big Government and larger deficits.
Besides, who is he to tell the Tea Party who can speak and who can’t? Frankly, I just see a guy here who is jealous that WND has been around longer and gets more hits per day than his Red State site.
I enjoyed Farah’s address and was particularly happy that he referenced Gramsci and the Dems’ allegiance to the “long march” approach to revolutionary Marxism. This is EXACTLY the tactic that Obama both employs and is a product of. The Tea Party needs to know what they are up against.
I don’t think that line of reasoning was at all necessary.
As you know, I used to be a "birther" myself. Lots of FReepers use the term "birther" as a badge of honor. Yet some take offense only when an "anti-birther" uses the term. I don't use it to be demeaning, it's just a label that has stuck. When birthers tried to rename themselves "vetters" and a few other things, I played along and tried to use their preferred name. Nothing other than "birthers" ever really stuck. If there's an agreed-upon term that you'd like me to use, I'd happily oblige you.
Do you think it unreasonable to ask that Obama show at least as much proof that he is eligible as someone who wants to obtain an NJ Driver's License?
Unreasonable? Nope. It should be required by law. That it isn't is what got us into this mess.
You have a way inflated idea of your supposed fame. If I've ever seen a post of yours before I've forgotten it.

“This is exactly what has worried me about the birthers being allowed to spew unsubstantiated garbage on FR without being restrained by some level of truth. Every time I can debunk a birther claim that is based in delusion or urban legend, I try to do so, as do most of you.”
So, Mr. Smart, just where IS the birth certificate?
Since you obviously do not know what one looks like, let me help you:

I have no idea where Obozo was born, and neither do you.
