Hannity Goes All-In On Obama Birth Certificate: ‘What’s Wrong With Asking?’
Mediaite ^ | March 26, 2011 | Frances Martel

Posted on 03/26/2011 3:22:36 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

A coalition of peculiar media forces apparently led by Donald Trump appear to be working to make President Barack Obama’s birth certificate a major 2012 campaign issue, and all signs point to Sean Hannity hopping on the bandwagon. After dedicating a significant amount of time on his radio show earlier this week to the matter, he brought it up once again on TV in the context of Trump’s potential 2012 bid, calling the entire ordeal ‘odd.’

The discussion began on his “Great American Panel,” where Republican strategist Dee Dee Benkie was urging viewers not to completely dismiss Trump as a viable presidential candidate. This allowed Hannity to bring up the birth certificate, which Trump had been demanding to see, and Hannity noted merely asking the question had helped Trump’s poll numbers: “he’s now in a tie for 5th place, two points behind Sarah Palin.” Panelist Ron Daniels scoffed at the idea that being anywhere near Palin on the polls was a good thing, and dismissed the idea that Trump even wanted to be President. “It’s a publicity stunt,” he concluded.

But Hannity was far more interested in pursuing President Obama’s birthplace struggles, wondering aloud yet again why the President has yet to produce a long-form birth certificate. He took his now-typical line of attack, noting that Dick Cheney had to prove his residency and that President Chester A. Arthur had one attorney after him proclaiming he was born in either Ireland or Canada. That said, Hannity clarified that he personally had no questions as to whether the President was American, but he did not consider himself a worthy arbiter of that.

Legal analyst Peter Johnson agreed that “there is a way to put this to bed”– showing a birth certificate that would be adequate to those who believe the conspiracy– and that the White House has not produced said certificate raised questions. Daniels objected, noting correctly that the White House in fact has published President Obama’s birth certificate several times, but the copy presented was not sufficient. To that, Hannity concluded the discussion articulating what many exposed to the birther debate regularly lament: “let’s get out of this. This is stupid.”

“the country would immediately be consumed with racially and class motivated civil war,”

We are already in such a war. Without bullets.

Blacks would have to CHOOSE whether they are actually citizens or freeloaders who suck the lifeblood from citizens. Or both.

Or neither. And if they are neither, then we’d best be about such a war and get this over with. As it stands, we will be arguing about this for a long time, with the split growing wider and deeper. Odd legacy for a ‘post-racial’ man who would be President. He has acted as anything but Presidential. And certainly not in the best interests of the US.

I have never thought he was going to run for a second term.

The Cloward-Piven goal is to overwhelm the system.

Mission accomplished!

B..Bu..But Ted Baxter maintains that birthers are every bit as loony as truthers. So will the leprechaun now denounce Hannity as an extremist wingnut?

Waiting...

Forged documents, even the most professionally done, are easily detectable by experts.
That is why only originals are accepted aprovidence in a Court of Law. Forensic experts can determine within a reasonable doubt authenticity by age testing paper, ink, handwriting analysis for signatures, & comparison woth contemporaneous documents.
Remember the GWB/Dan Rather kerfuffel?

“Then we’d have a real race on our hands.”

Seeing as how we don’t really know what race obi-da-wan really is...aren’t you being a little racist in suggesting we have one...or would have one...or something? I am not even sure what a “real” race is anymore.
Myself, I think he is an dislamian from the planet dislamia and perhaps race has nothing to do with it. Mayhap we should be trying to ascertain species instead. They prolly don’t do birth as we know it. Hence, no birth certificate. That would explain everything.
Does that make me specist?

He may well have been born at a home for unwed mothers over the border in British Columbia. The only place where Stanley Ann has ever been seen with a newborn is Seattle, where she was enrolled in college.

This story fits Occam’s Razor. The only problem is that he was not a U.S. citizen, so how did he get driver’s licenses and a passport? As a little boy he was taken to Indonesia and given Indonesian citizenship by his stepfather (or adoptive father?). Was he then naturalized thereafter in Hawaii when Mom got sick of him and dumped him again?

Or was he never naturalized? How did he ever get his American citizenship if he really was born outside of the country?

On a personal note, I had a baby in a foreign country. I IMMEDIATELY obtained American citizenship for him as it was a high priority for me. His American BC is not on file anywhere; we have it stored safely. We were told that this would be his only copy, period - the one the embassy gave us. So if my son were to run for President (dear G-d. please no), no one could look up and find his long form on file either, anywhere. Just like Abercrombie tried to find Barack’s. It’s not there — he was not born in HI.

You won’t get anywhere yelling at someone about this. But it makes you look like a nut.

I’m afraid they’re prepared to trot out some ridiculous story about how Obama is embarrassed that his mother was not married, or for whatever reason didn’t put his father on the birth certificate, so to protect his own children he hid the truth. Saps and obots will buy it, and it will set everybody else up to look either racist or unfeeling. But he’s not going to show an original birth certificate.
