Camille Paglia Provides Much-Needed Intellectual Cred for Birthers (Going Mainstream?)

And you thought birtherism was just for hillbillies and Republicans! David Weigel heard Camille Paglia on NPR yesterday, where the author of Sexual Personae and UArts professor told a no doubt astonished latte-drinking audience that "there are legitimate questions about the documentation of Obama's birth certificate. I'm sorry, I've been following this closely from the start." Indeed she has; we noticed her railing on the topic as far back as November ("simple questions about the certificate were never resolved to my satisfaction"). Now that they've got a genuine intellectual on board, the birthers just need a popular entertainer to carry their message to the sheeple. Come on, Toby Keith, what are you waiting for?

[Vendome]

yeah. Like the damn thing says ammended and then we want to know what is in the file containing the “ammended” information and materials.

[Vendome]

I gotta get one those. That is funny!

[LS]

I saw this. Pretty important, I’d say.

[FredZarguna]

If Paglia thinks something’s fishy, she’ll say so...

Camille knows fishy smelling things.

[freekitty]

All Obama has to do like everyone else is release his true long form bc and passport records.

Thanks for the post Vet! Very interesting development. Camille Paglia is an interesting sort. I read her and on several issues she seems to seek truth.

Cheers to you!

Jude:
Keep repeating this and maybe tune it a little from time to time.

I don’t think many understand that 50 states did not perform any due diligence in the vetting process, taking only Barry at his word and by affirmation of signature, on state forms, his qualifications.

Not one state investigated Barry O.’s background. Not one!

[Vendome]

and a great writer with the best sarcastic and intellectual humor.

I rarely agree with her but her writing is just spectacular.

[Vendome]

Clearly Donald Duck could not be President.

He is from some Goofy Mickey Mouse planet.

[FredZarguna]

He wouldn’t want to be known as white.

I doubt this would matter to him. Keep in mind that he can spin a misstatement of his race with his constituency: "Racism was so rampant in the early 1960's my mother had no choice but to register me as white. A mixed race child would've had his brains dashed to pieces by the White Hoods in the nursery in those days. Blah Blah, etc etc, but I'm not injecting race into the discussion, etc etc."

Ghoster:
How is it that Barry O. has no kindergarten records? That is, all students of class have records which can be accessed but Barry O.’s records aren’t even there!

How is that possible?

(rhetorical)

Only California would be willing to vote for a candidate who wears a sailor suit with no pants.

[Vendome]

What they said.

Why are you here? You like every other troll are going to get bored soon or tired.

I haven’t seen one of you with the intellectual horsepower to stay engaged without eventually resorting to some childish quip.

If you are here for entertainment, welcome. We need entertaining as well and a little practice.

Post on.

[Vendome]

bad poster! ;-)

What adult cannot go to a desk or filing cabinet in his house and produce a birth certificate in a few minutes?

 

Barry O. tried to pass of something that was inconsistent with what the rest of have and know to be a “Birth Certificate”.

The so called COLB has many flaws with it:

• His father’s race could never have been listed as “African”.  That was not the nomenclature at all, in the 1960’s.  So that begins the suspicion of a fraudulent document.
•  The COLB is also cropped in many of the pictures that claim it is a scan.  If it is a scan, why not leave the document and size intact?
• The COLB also has no artifacts such paper folds.  A scan does not make those disappear and in fact will highlight them.
• The COLB that is scanned mysteriously does not show the Seal of Hawaii.  Why?  Because it was computer generated and not scanned.  Guess they forgot to add that back in.
• More over, many of us are concerned and want to know why he wasted time producing a document that is inconsistent with what we know a Birth Certificate looks like.

 The best part and even more confusing is why he didn't release any of the three Birth Certificates we know already existed before 2007.

• His kindergarten records and the BC, that should be there, have mysteriously disappeared.
• The BC he used to get into college, apply for loans and most definitely used for his passport. That wasn't available?
• Why couldn't he just present the one he found among his mother's belongings upon her death.   He waxed on and wondered about it and his father in one of his books.  Why not post that one?

Those were most certainly BC’s and not a COLB. There is no reason to create confusion but, for the fact he is hiding something. That something will be discovered, though and this is a long process.

It would have been nice to get a hold of it before the election but I think most thought we were going to end up with Hillary.

Hope no one brings up some house fire that vaporized his BC.  That was in 1972 and none of the documents listed here would have been affected by that “fishy” event.

I don’t think Helen Thomas is a lesbian;

I was talking about Helen Degenerate (preferred spelling), who may just as well have a big "L" tattooed across her forehead.

[mojito]

Thanks for the ping.

Anyone who examines this issue fully and with an open mind will come the the same conclusion as Ms. Paglia.

That the left tries repeatedly and unsuccessfully to lump “Birthers” and “Truthers” together is reflective of both their fear and their immunity to the facts.
