Or maybe its a sly way to keep it in the news without being accused of being a nut.
Who would have ever thought we would see the day when Chris Mathews on MSNBC would hold up a copy of a long form birth certificate to show the difference between that and what Obama released.
Who would have ever thought that the NYTimes, (after pundit after pundit after pundit said that Obama “already released his birth certificate”) would come out and admit he did no such thing and backed up Mathews point.
Getting the MSM to move from “he already released it” to “no he did not, here is what an original long form birth certificate looks like” was a major achievement of the “birthers”.
The big thing the MSM are all hanging onto now to immediately pooh-pooh any questions is the birth announcements in those 2 Hawaiian newspapers. The challenge for “birthers” is to come up with (and publicize beyond fringe blogs) a US citizen’s birth announcement in those same papers who was actually born in another country.
IMHO, shooting down the MSM’s birth announcement defense is the next large step that must be accomplished for more people to take this seriously.
From another thread:
"There is no silver buried here."
The proof that the stories of the birth announcements’ discovery was a lie is already out there. See http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/revised-article/
We just can’t (yet) find anybody in the mainstream that is willing to take the story. Like I’ve been saying all over the place, we have a treasonous media. Maybe if Congress defunds the FCC so that the Obama/Soros thugs can’t threaten to use it to destroy media companies who report on the eligibility issue, we’ll get some semblance of honest reporting, at least in the “conservative” media.
As it is right now, the media is sort of like Sodom and Gomorrah: ten righteous (i.e. honest) media-critters can’t be found, and we’ll consider ourselves very fortunate if we find even ONE.
That’s where this nation is at. This shows us exactly how easy it is to buy silence when the thugs are given the keys to the kingdom.
