Even within conservative circles the b/c issue is controversial. Look at some of the eligibility threads on here or comments made by Coulter/Levin etc on the issue. It is controversial.

Sarah’s message needs to get out to the public without media manipulation or made-up “news” report intended to end her political future.

We also know the media will try to destroy anyone who can do harm to Obama. With so many in the MSM believe it is their job to protect their messiah, Sarah is the #1 target on that list.

We have to remember most of Americans are not news/political junkies like we are. They get their news in 30 second sound bites, usually slanted to fit the networks agenda of the day. The media will distort her answer until she’s taken Orly’s position as “Queen of the Birthers”.

I fully believe we will need Sarah and others like her to clean up the mess Obama and the Dems will leave this country in. She will need all the public support she can muster if she chooses to run for office (I pray she does).

The ultra left, Obot’s and RINO’s aren’t who Sarah needs to impress. She needs independents and common sense Americans those whose only pay attention to candidates around election time.

I simply hate giving the media anything to use against Palin. Like it or not it’s reports the MSM presents who most Americans use to base their opinions; and those are who Sarah needs to get on her side.

You know, your being stupid...

Suppose Sarah had said “I believe Obama is a natural natural born citizen because he says so, though we just have his word on it and he was too young at the time to know when he was born”

Would anyone have any respect for her?

Just my opinion, but I think you're worrying too much about how this one comment by Sarah will "play" in the media, and how that will impact the thinking of independents and moderates.

Those people have already seen the media war waged against Sarah. They've also watched her out-smart and dissect all of her detractors. They're now watching her smash records for a Number 1 Bestselling author, and are seeing the same cowardly backbiting in the liberal press and opinion sections about her. It hasn't worked, and is only showing the media for the degraded sell-outs they are.

I'm sure you saw all of the coverage of Sarah's appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show recently. That was a masterstroke of genius, because it allowed Sarah to reach millions of women (mostly on the left) who didn't have a clue of who she really is, having only absorbed the vitriolic slanders of the DNC and the MSM about her.

Don't worry. Sarah is reaching who she needs to reach, and she's doing it on her terms, and on her own turf. It's driving her enemies and detractors nuts because they have no control over her, and cannot stop her from talking directly to all of those independents and moderates you're worried about.

When Sarah says matter-of-factly that Obama's birth certificate and personal records should be fair game, she's planting that idea into the heads of many who may have never even considered it, until she said it. You can bet that a lot of those Americans in the middle are suddenly thinking, "hmmm, she's got a point there. Why doesn't Obama just show his birth certificate?"

Remember also, that when Sarah was Governor of Alaska, she had an approval rating in the high 90's at one point. That means that she made believers out of a lot of people in the middle and on the left.

Relax. She's doing fine.

Yes, the same way the media and the white house tried to use Sarahs "death panels" against her. And what happened??? They removed the "death panels" from the bill that "never existed".

I'm sure most Americans remember that one.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

On another thread you posted to me and said that you were not a “birther”. ( I think I could probably find that post.)

With regard to Obama’s natural born status there are only three kinds of people:

1) Brain dead people. ( You don't seem to be one of these people.)

2) People who care deeply about the Constitution.

3) Those who don't give a twit about the Constitution.
