Breitbart editor: We won't probe eligibility
WND ^ | March 18, 2012 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 03/20/2012 4:07:23 AM PDT by iontheball

A new editor for Breitbart.com, reorganized quickly after the sudden death March 1 of founder and conservative activist Andrew Breitbart, says the issue of Barack Obama’s eligibility simply doesn’t matter.

“To my knowledge, there’s no evidence. I just don’t believe it,” Ben Shapiro, newly named editor-at-large for Breitbart.com, told Mark Gillar during an interview on his BlogTalkRadio program.

You sure do like to throw around attacks when you’re simply asked for evidence. So anyone who wants to avoid future episodes where public figures (like Rep Leo Berman) made to look foolish for relying on Free Republic for information are “Saul Alinsky types”?

Strawman: no one is disputing that Indonesia doesn’t permit dual citizenship. However, (especially as a minor) that would not effect US citizenship, and he could still have a US passport. What part of that do you not understand? What I asked was your evidence that 0bama used an Indonesian passport to visit Pakistan. Or even that he actually had an Indonesian passport. You produced none.

I asked for your evidence that 0bama had used funding for foreign students in college. You produced none.

You seem to have jumped to the conclusion that I’m arguing for 0bama. You are completely wrong. I’m arguing for good evidence before making unequivocal statements.

So, you got evidence for the two issues I questioned? Or just insults?

How DARE you sir! How DARE YOU!

Evidence is not to be asked for! Statements about a nonexistent “travel ban” are not to be contradicted! Disinformation that made Rep Leo Berman look like an absolute idiot needs to be repeated without question until EVERYBODY sounds like an uninformed idiot! Anybody who doesn't sign on 100% is to have their ideology honesty and integrity (the conspiracy GOT to them) questioned! Every conservative official or commentator needs to be completely ignored and disavowed until they sign on!

Get with the program!!!!! ;)

And that is why so many long debunked rumors are still being quoted and making those who quote them look silly. Anyone can say anything in an email, but it doesn't make it true. Rep Leo Berman was made to look very foolish on national TV about birth certificate issues when he claimed there was a Pakistan travel ban. For heaven's sake, check these things before blindly repeating them.

I understand and respect that point of view but on a forum like FR opinions are what are usually expresssed. Before a talk show host or public official states anything publicly they should have their staff check it for accuracy. Yet, because of your admonition, in the future I will state the origin and the fact that I have not verified it.

There is going to be no action on the issue of Obama’s origins no matter what the truth is at this point.

There isn't the time to make anything happen now if it hasn't happened yet in over three years.

Now there's a guy who knows how to stay healthy.

He went after Rev. Wright and other things that weren’t easy.
Hannity isn’t expected to cover every issue in the world, I don’t think he deserves so much venom.
I think a bunch of people are being misdirected from the bigger issues.

I absolutely agree Rep Berman should have had his staff check accuracy!

And I greatly respect your decision to post whether or not something has been verified.

Throughout history when the citizens of a nation find that they can not and will not be accorded either justice or redress from those, Judges, bureaucrats, or politicians, tasked with administering justice and or redress, the citizens find they must correct these miscreants, quite often violently, by hanging, guillotine, or simply shooting.

From watching what is happening in our nation, a correct observation would be that judges, bureaucrats, and politicians, have failed to study or acquire any knowledge of such history.

Breitbart talked to sheriff arpaio hours before he died. If Breitbart were not interested in obama’s alleged document crimes he wouldn’t have been beginning that dialogue.

If Breitbart might have been murdered for his effectiveness, for prevention, to strike fear in others, then the smart money is on denying interest. Breitbart employees have families too. It also hurts their efforts going forward, and possibly discredits them.

Remember that there are two lines of concern. “birthers” that think Obama is from Kenya, and intelligent researchers questioning why Obama needs false documentation, tracing him to possible Canadian birth (unwed mother’s home) to an underage girl who could not confer her citizenship on her baby. What other reason would there be for him to use illegitimate docs?

You see,Breitbart had begun exposing obama’s true actions in the past. Connections, leanings. These acts include anything he did to appear eligible to run for office. They may include coming up with documents that American citizens do not need.

This go’s beyond fear of being called names or losing advertisers. This is in the realm of “you talk and you and yours all die and there is not enough security to prevent those deaths.

We must remember that the hard line leftists will lie, cheat, steal or murder to advance their agenda. For those of us that think “no way, they couldn’t manage that”, there are more than enough like Van Jones, Jarrett, the Sunstiens, and the names just keep coming. There are at least one million of these dead philosophy zombies perfectly willing to threaten someone with death and carry it out when the threat does not work.
