Simply put, ANY talk show host, journalist, political analyst, etc. who even remotely affords any support whatsoever for the “Birther (better termed “Truther”) cause will run the risk of losing his /her job. This is why Hannity, Beck, O-Reilly, Ann Coulter, Geraldo, etc. will NEVER touch this issue. Dobbs was the example and I am convinced they were ALL told: “Want to keep your job ? Then limit the issues to policy criticism ONLY or you will wind up like Dobbs !”
Now my question is, are they getting BONUSES for resorting to childish name calling of the “Birther” movement ? Why else would these “professional, articulate and eloquent” broadcasters resort to such “demeaning” terms when referring to the eligibility enthusiasts ? If you’ve noticed, O’Reilly goes SO FAR out of his way to smirk and giggle in mid-sentence when he so much as even mentions the Dobbs issue while other broadcasters simply roll their eyes in disapproval ! This behavior is SO unnecessarily dramatic and condescending...HATE IT !
Policy criticism will NEVER be grounds for impeachment or a National upheaval, but the eligibility issue is just TOO HOT....so, in my opinion, their hands are tied.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Only an IDIOT would fail to demand to see Obama’s BC after he removed every vestige of his history from public.
