Donald Trump Goes Birther (barf alert)
http://news.yahoo.com ^ | Wed Mar 30, 10:10 am ET | John Avlon

NEW YORK – Donald Trump’s has left his views behind to stir up conspiratorial craziness among Republican primary voters. John Avlon on why he should have run as a CEO instead of a tabloid joke.

There is a place for a CEO presidential candidate in 2012. So far, Donald Trump isn’t filling it.

Instead of focusing on his executive abilities and job-creating experience, The Donald has been busy going the full Birther.

It’s hard to tell whether he’s free-lancing or just very badly advised, but one thing is clear—Donald Trump is trying to apply New York City tabloid rules to a prospective national presidential campaign. This ain’t going to end well.

Relentless self-promotion and shock-jock sound-bites might get you headlines, but it won’t get you taken seriously. That helps when you want to be trusted with your finger on the button.

And pandering to the lowest common denominator of the electorate isn’t doing to get this self-styled symbol of America’s super-rich confused with a conservative populist.

They’re still going to know that you live in New York City in a gleaming gold office tower and fly in a private plane with your name on the side. Parading common conspiracy theories isn’t the same as sharing values. And even a cursory glance at the Trump biography would show that he doesn’t have any business going after the values vote. This is pandering for no purpose.

Along with his other enterprises Trump is an entertainer. He is using that talent and celebrity status to shed light on one of the greatest mysteries in U.S. political history. Trump can afford the best political consultants and private investigators. I think there’s more to come.

A pure ad hominen attack proving once again that the Libs will never debate the facts. They just pound the table and call their opponents names.

Questioning what he (and every citizen) has every right to know and should have known 3 yrs ago, is now considered a common conspiracy? Goes hand-in-hand with, if you don't vote for him you're a racist. So what if Trump has his name on his plane - he worked for it. I guess the work ethic isn't considered a value to the left.

First you ignore the "Eligibility Credential" Election Laws. Next you take the nation to war without consulting Congress (not even as a courtesy) and I doubt he will consult Congress at all because he wants the United Nations to trump the United States Congress. It's a slippery slop if we let him get away with it.

Next he'll ban guns.

Call them "birthers" but I see them as Constitutionalists.

Their only way to answer the Trumpster is to attack him and try to put him on the defensive.

Sarah Palin should announce she can’t seem to find her birth certificate... something wrong with Alaska’s record keeping or something.

Let’s see how fast Jon Avlon, and the rest of these libtard media hacks, demand she find it.

The liberals’ response is either make fun of the person questioning islamabama’s eligibility or file charges.

If someone “steals” information proving the president is a fraud he should be prosecuted but the “stolen” information should be considered.

Oh, they get it. They're just afraid of what the truth might be.

That's because the liberal media wants him off Obama’s birth certificate. The issue scares them. They hope republicans will laugh at him and his stressing the importance of the US constitution and eligibility laws so he will eventually forget about Obama’s birth certificate.

At least Trump is taking the “negative” focus off of Palin.
