Barack Obama, Sarah Palin dogged by Internet birth rumors (see Chicago contort +twist facts)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 12-6-08 | Colin McMahon

Posted on 12/06/2008 2:04:09 PM PST by STARWISE

You've heard the story: The birth is a sham, the official line a coverup.

There are no hospital records. The original birth certificate has never been produced. And this person who has talked of bringing honesty and transparency to the nation's highest offices is, in fact, a fraud.

But enough about Sarah Palin.

If you think the attack on Barack Obama's citizenship is the only fringe crusade going, check out what some bloggers are still saying about John McCain's former running mate.

They contend that Sarah Palin lied about the birth of her son Trig.

They are certain that the Down syndrome baby is actually the child of Palin's daughter Bristol or a family friend.

And while Palin's loss in the vice presidential race has turned wails of outrage into whispers of frustration, it has not stopped the conspiracy theorizing. Never mind that the Alaska governor returned home to pardon turkeys and Obama is preparing to take over the country

"Colin McMahon is the Tribune's South America correspondent, based in Buenos Aires."

I think this guy needs an assignment investigating the lost tribes of the Amazon. He seems to have too much time on his hands.

they belong on the supermarket checkout racks below the globe and the enquirer..

Speaking of which, the National Examiner has a series of headlines on this week's edition about what a running, heinous bitch Michelle 0bama is. I tend to believe those headlines.

Don’t forget the Sun. That’s a fun magazine. Did you know that they found Bigfoot?

The weirdest part of the "Trig is Bristol's baby" line, it that she would have been 7 months pregnant and when she really got pregnant.

I bet that would have made news in the medical journals!

Hey now, they’ve ruined Chicago, but much of the rest of the state is still relatively sane. I haven’t looked at the county breakdown for this election, but in 2000 and 2004 the only counties that went blue were Cook County (Chicago), Champaign Country (University of Illinois, my uber-liberal alma mater), and maybe two of the north Chicago suburbs.

I live in DuPage County which USED to be CONSERVATIVE. I was literally SHOCKED to find out that 54% of DuPage County voted for Obama! I know there are still some consrvative counties in Illinois but they seem to be getting fewer and fewer.

Right, Starwise. Also, I was watching carefully when Sarah’s med records were released. Her med history, signed and summarized by her dr., specifically said that Sarah had birthed five children. That report gave us everything we needed to know, even the benign breast biopsy she had years ago. So to the Obamabots—don’t even GO there. Dems keep touting that pregnancy rumor because it’s something THEY’d try to scam the public with.

Interesting. Looks like the Tribune can’t ignore the story so they try to deflect.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Traction is being gained. Now the MSM has to debunk Obamas non qualification under Article II of the constitution.

Obama will NEVER be my president.

If they think they are being clever, by combining the two stories, it isn’t going to work.

In fact, everyone, from now on, we all have to be very suspicious of anything the media puts out, whether it is about Obama or not.

I do believe that the media in all it’s forms is not to be trusted, so we all must do our due diligence and verify, everything.

This is a silly attempt.

This must have come from the Obama camp. Obama, like Joseph Goebbels, usually resorts to ridicule rather than honest debate. From “communist because I shared by toys” to Nancy Reagan and seances, use of ridicule is second nature to Obama.

Unlike the ‘truthers’ I am fully willing to admit that Obama was born in Hawaii. However, the Donfrio lawsuit claims that Obama in NOT a natural-born citizen based on his father’s nationality; nowhere is there an assertion that Obama fabricated his birth. It is a point of law and not a point of cover-up.

Chicago Tribune doing their Kabuki Slapstick.

Conservatives need to expose Obama at every move and keep
it up. We want the wheels off his cart before he takes
us all the way to Marxism.

Conservatives who are fighting for freedom have a double
battle. We have to fight the Far Left and the Neo Left AKA
Libertarians who are equally anti war, and would rather fight Conservatives than liberals.
