Palin: Stupid Conspiracies

Voters have every right to ask candidates for information if they so choose. I’ve pointed out that it was seemingly fair game during the 2008 election for many on the left to badger my doctor and lawyer for proof that Trig is in fact my child. Conspiracy-minded reporters and voters had a right to ask... which they have repeatedly. But at no point – not during the campaign, and not during recent interviews – have I asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United States.

Sarah could get on Facebook and announce that the sky is blue, grass is green, water is wet.... and The MSM and the left wing of the internet would attack and misquote her.
BREAKING NEWS: Sarah Palin thinks the sky is made of blue grass, and believes that only green water is wet!

That was one quick retreat

Damn right she is good.

Governor Palin is not retreating. She is reloading!

Go Sarah, GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

My stars, what a truly gracious FReeper you are! The thanks are all on my side for showing me how it's done! :^)

I wish Obama would produce his birth certificate, and I have nothing but contept for the idea that those who ask it of him are somehow kooks or nutcases -- the insulting "truther" label is contemptible, especially coming from Republicans and conservatives who allow themselves to be controlled by fear of popular scorn. Palin has never scorned "truthers" or even used the derogatory term, as far as I know, and that's absolutely enough for me; as you know, I think both of her answers on this were extremely smart and square.

IMO, the real responsiblity for pressuring Obama to show his birth certificate lies NOT with Obama's political opponents nor we the voting public. It lies SQUARELY, is SQUARELY the job, the responsibility, the MORAL DUTY of the Fourth Estate -- the news media.

It is the REAL villain in this thing, and the true traitor to our Founding Fathers and the Constitution -- even more than Obama. Obama would never have happened if not for a traitorous Fourth Estate. Obama is a product of its betrayal, not the cause of it.

"not during the campaign, and not during recent interviews – have I asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United States."

That is correct, she didn't. She was also correct when she stated....

"I think the public, rightfully, is still making it an issue. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t know if I would have to bother to make it an issue ’cause I think there are enough members of the electorate who still want answers."

"I think it’s a fair question, just like I think past associations and past voting record — all of that is fair game. You know, I’ve got to tell you, too: I think our campaign, the McCain/Palin campaign didn’t do a good enough job in that area. We didn’t call out Obama and some of his associates on their records and what their beliefs were and perhaps what their future plans were. And I don’t think that that was fair to voters to not have done our jobs as candidates and as a campaign to bring to light a lot of the things that now we’re seeing made manifest in the administration."

Question: If the BC issue was on a poll, do you think it would break the top 5 issues that most Americans are concerned about? Conservatives should focus on a great many other things if they want to make gains in 2010. The BC issue isn’t one of them, IMHO.
