Rove and O'Reilly equate "birthers" with "truthers" (ho-hum vanity)
February 16, 2011 | Seizethecarp

Posted on 02/16/2011 6:17:43 PM PST by Seizethecarp

O'Reilly began a segment tonight by saying that he did not believe the recent poll that showed that 51% of likely GOP primary voters didn't believe that Obama was born in HI. He offered up a different poll showing that 58% of Americans believed Obama was born in HI.

Rove came on and after admitting that Obama could end the birth certificate controversy immediately by simply releasing his birth records, Rove said the controversy benefited Obama.

Then both O'Reilly and Rove equated "birthers" with "truthers" and Ron Paul supporters and said they were on the Tea Party and GOP fringe.

When Rove said he was satisfied that Obama was born in HI and started to refer to the newspaper birth announcements, O'Reilly butted in and said (IIRC) "You got that from me. We broke that here first. We investigated that."

73% of Repubs either ‘don’t believe’ or ‘aren’t sure.’

That’s a big friggin “fringe.”

It is getting to the point where the “Truthers” are the pathetic clingers on to the big lie that Obama was even eligible to run for president.

Who says this so-called birther issue hurt the Republican party? Didn't the Republican party get 64 seats even though the birther issue is in circulation?

Not only is it in circulation, but it is revived thanks to the bumbling Gov. Ambercrombie.

I expect no less from Ted Baxter and Tokyo Rove. If they can’t get Myth and Jeb in there, better Obama than Sarah.

I think the failure to vet Obama or McCain indicts the elitists of both parties, including Rove, Ailes and enabler O’Reilly.

O’Reilly got a 1 billion viewer audience for his Super Bowl interview with Obama and want his program to be a “safe zone” for Obama on the “birther” issue.

But O’Reilly’s no-spin claim is now tattered by his own spin claiming that the birth certificate issue “doesn't matter”.

I think he got a bit of mail from viewers after he made that claim earlier this week.

Why is he always talking about it if he doesn’t think Americans think there’s a controversy with Obama’s birth?

That's what I thought I heard. It looks like BOR is going to have a daily attack on people who don't believe Obama's BS nativity story without any rational debate.

I don't care WHO you are or WHAT your political affiliation, if 42% of the population believes that the President was born somewhere OTHER than the US, that is a pretty big slice of America that thinks YOU NEVER belonged in the Oval Office because you aren't an American!

There is an incestuous relationship between the Ivy League particularly Harvard grads with the main stream media and the people who control the Federal government.
