Did Mark Levin distance himself from birthers because the media has so successfully demonized those who demand proof of eligibility? Or did he do it because he doesn’t care what the constitution has to say about this issue???

Sadly, the last thing stations owners want at the moment is to entice some Race Baiting Dem like “Reverend” Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson to organize protests in front of their studios, claiming the NBC controversy is ALL about Racism. We all know how the Dem Race Baiters work.

The last thing radio management wants in this perilous time of erratic Democratic behavior is to throw more fuel to the fire, as they've been threatened with the Fairness Doctrine on numerous occasions. So, Levin and other have steered clear of the issue — for the most part. But if you've listened to them — Rush, Hannity and others — you'd know they've all dropped hints.

Without doubt there is "something in the wind" here. There is not the slightest risk to the ordinary person simply asking questions. Even to make somewhat fanciful statements on the subject of a persons birth country. One could find the absence of hard nosed comments ominous. For others it may be simply a matter of leaving it alone, because of being caught absolutely flat footed. This if a long form was produced.

I have to temper my comments on the Glen Beck show this morning. On the FR thread he has his regular supporters. It could be said I should address the subject directly there. FWIW. Mr Beck went into a paroxysm of choking laughter, which is his style, when he played the tape of Michelle Obama, the First Lady and her statement. He even brought in an analogy of an Italian making the same type of speech at an Italian association. Threw in the word "spaghetti". At least I was informed the audience was a sort of Kenyan society organization. This does make her statement a little more explainable (imho).

Mr Beck said it could be yet another Democrat sympathizers ploy to release the tape and provoke (poke poke poke) the fringe people. He teed off on the "Birthers". I think this is a fair assessment of Mr Beck. I smiled to myself and yell at the radio, "show the long form". How very, very simple. My personal guess is that it may not exist.
