Seriously...Since Donald Trump has been on the birther crusade for well over a week, and arguing with the likes of Whoopie Goldberg on the View about it and displaying his birth certificate as a challenge to President Obama on the issue ... providing a copy of his birth certificate to the conservative website Newsmax, I have seen very little if any heavily critical stories about Trump raising the issue...maybe a few snarky remarks, but no mocking him as a total nut or loony, no hit-pieces trashing of him! maybe I might be missing it but I haven't seen it
If anybody else had done and said the same things as him, they would be immediately denounced by many in the MSM or some Congressman - but for him its a no.
If Sarah or for that fact any other major potential candidate were to do the same thing that Trump is doing for a week, they would be attacked...just like when Bachmann or others either made a comment, a joke or or made a slip up statement on the issue.
Maybe the media doesn't see him as a threat?
I am aware that people running for president pick their running mates. (Ha. I can even use the term in the proper context.)
I’m not attacking her abilities as a person to become president. I have no question that she has been hard at work correcting her previous failings.
I’m being as honest and open minded as I can be and that is how I see it. I’m not putting her in an impossible position. If she’d had sought congress three years ago, she would have had that record to defend and she might be ready to become president today.
I am Canadian, but I love your constitution and know what those words mean in all their beauty. I’m probably not as much to the right as some of you, but I am probably to the right of most Americans.
Like that..
That is a brilliant post Windflier! This is exactly why I think Palin would be a phenomenal POTUS. She already has the skills, and coupled with her strength of character and guts, she will be great as POTUS!
You should get post of the day, if there were such a thing!
Well we love the Liberty loving Canadians.
What failings are you speaking of? Palin has been quite successful so your perception of any failings must be from media sources and not from personal research.
Always Always research. Never Never believe the media. NEVER.
Now..welcome to FR and I must call it a nite.
Hosts regularly referred to "anyone who claims BHO wasn't born in America" as right-wing whack-jobs; tin foil hat folk; and demented idiots, not worthy of the time to debate them, then went about insulting each and every caller who attempted to discuss the subject!
That is wrong. Obama is a fraud and a crook and must be exposed as such. You are 100% wrong.
One FReeper mentioned the Nordyke twins. Here is some interesting info.
The truth will set us free.
Mrs. Nordyke's speculation is wrong. Just because she is in the hospital in labor does not mean she will produce a live baby. Her twins could have been born dead. Would they give a birth certificate to a stillborn?? BA
I disagree.
He’s carrying their water for them?
They don’t want to get FIRED!?
Umm...
Good question.
“He’s a self-promoting reality-show personality, nothing more...”
Nothing more? He developed a large chain or restaurants and real estate all over New York and the East Coast before any ‘reality show.’ His or any other. He’s been a self-made billionaire for at least a quarter century.”
He is also an author who has written best selling books. Not to be toyed with.
and a 1000 times more trustworthy then the coward Republican (socialist) and Democrat (communist) electeds who lick the usurper’s feet.
What has he got to lose in comparision. Americans approval rating of the Congress is just above cockroach...basically they are sick of the parasites....
so hey, Trump is gonna look good.
The Big Boo
Soros can crush Trump...Add is some allies such as Murdoch, etc. and maybe there is more of an even match.
But remember Soros now controls the U.S. military, so if things get really bad prepare to be strafed...
jes sayin
The Big Boo
How about Trump bringing up the other issue, the fake SSN from CT that the Usurper is using. That is fraud.
Ask Dr. Kissinger...
Because if the MSM talk about it re Trump, they won’t be able to avoid talking about it re obama, and they really don’t want to do that.
And his claim is that there is something on the long-form that would embarrass him. But the only stuff on the long-form that’s not on the COLB he already presented is stuff like parents’ occupations and residence - except for the validating signatures.
Is he going to try to pretend that all this fuss was because he was so embarrassed by his parents’ residence?
The only way for him to be “embarrassed” by what’s on the long-form is if it doesn’t match what was on the fake COLB that he posted. Unless there’s something wrong with the validating signatures or the validity of the BC itseld - which is what the HDOH has already revealed Obama has a problem with, since his BC has been amended.
So no matter how you slice it, unless he ends up claiming he was embarrassed about his parents’ residence, he would end up revealing that he posted a forgery and lied about it for 2+ years.
Heard Jerry Doyle say just those words last night. Birthers are a bunch of kooks as far as he’s concerned.
Why no backlash for Trump? - Because he’s asking a simple and legitimate question that deserves an answer, and he’s not intimidated by any media reaction. He’s pointing out the emperor has no clothes. The more “they” react to him, the more attention people will pay to the issue.
LOL, he’s the perfect person to ask the question. If ABC, CBS, or NBC interview him, look out.
