Re “Donald Trump Gets Weirder,” by Gail Collins (column, April 2):
Even before Gail Collins was with the New York Times, she has written nasty and derogatory articles about me. Actually, I have great respect for Ms. Collins in that she has survived so long with so little talent. Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers) is not at a high level. More importantly, her facts are wrong!
...I don't need Ms. Collins's advice. There is a large segment of our society who believe Barack Obama, indeed, was not born in the United States. His grandmother from Kenya stated, on tape, that he was born in Kenya and she was there to watch the birth. His family in Honolulu is fighting over which hospital in Hawaii he was born in-they just don't know.
He has not been able to produce a “birth certificate” -merely a totally unsigned “certificate of live birth”-which is of very little significance. Unlike a birth certificate, a certificate of live birth is very easy to obtain. Equally of importance, there are no records in Hawaii that a Barack Hussein Obama was born there-no bills, no doctors names, no nurses names, no registrations, no payments, etc. As far as the two notices placed in newspapers, some feel the grandparents put an ad in order to show that he was a citizen of the U.S. with all of the benefits. Everybody, after all, and especially then, wanted to be a citizen.
[...]
For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen.

Open your eyes, Gail, there's at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!
DONALD J. TRUMP New York, April 7, 2011

Trump IS taking a great risk. But he is a force to be reckoned with as well. He is well branded and has a bully pulpit of sorts. I do believe he is taking this issue for self promotion. But we shall see.
He could turn the issue on its head by declaring that BHO is a NBC. He could also start the next civil war by declaring that he is not a NBC.
I stated before that his investigators should take the newspaper listings of birth announcements and investigate the validity of everyone on that list. If the listings were fakes, then there should be many false names on the list. FWIW
Hard core Obama supporters can barely read.
I think Trump already has researched the issue. He knows Hussein cannot produce a birth certificate. People have a right to ask WHY ? He is President of the United States.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying his shots at Obama and am applauding him for it; I’m a writer and badly constructed sentences set my teeth on edge.
And, I point out for those who don't remember around here that all the intellectual wags praised that two hour speech and decried the poor showing of our President. Of course it did not take long before folks realised that the Gettysburg address is the height of poetic expression, a composition that rivals anything written by Shakespeare or Keats, while the two hour speech is only remembered because of the poorness of the performance.
Trump's letter, of course is not poetic, but then it's purpose is not avowedly funerary, well, maybe it is.
Exactly, Mr. Trump.
O'Reilly likes to paint this as some cabal knowing at Obama's birth conspiring to make Obama president of the US....star in the east, wise men, and bethlehem is how O'Reilly scorns it.
But the truth is that any idiot knows that having US citizenship would be a whole lot better for ANY baby than having Kenyan citizenship. Additionally, it would make Obama's father first in line also to get citizenship in the US.
So, you place an ad saying so and so was born just to have a record that would enable you to claim US citizenship and the benefits that go with it.
Part of the Soros progressive machine agenda is to censor in a nasty ridiculing way as a deterrent to others speaking up. Journolist created a unified response among a large number of media out let’s. This way they could gang up on oppositional voices. Remember Rush media outrage.
Well, then, why don't you point out, for the instruction of the rest of us, a couple of the more eggregious exemples of what threaten to loosen your bridgework.
Pissanticide! Brilliant! Can you offer a definition which can be added to Freeper terminology?
--------------------------
Mostly benefited.
| We still get 651 more wonderful days of 'the recovery,' and Barry must be thrilled. As is Soros. George placed a bet, shorting the dollar, and the Tea Party policies might cost him a fortune. Old 'go-along/get-along' Republicans never knew how to fight. And most are RINOs gumming up the party. Trump is schooling conservatives on the route one has to take to fight the left. There is nothing worse for America than this embittered, racist cipher manipulating the system from within. Time to step up Republicans and hammer this jackwagon president and his administration.
Ready, Fire, Aim, Barry: ''Let me be clear, as clear as mud; there are no reports of Trump being on to me being a fraud and cipher. I never hoodwinked anyone. Trump should stop and think about how this is making him look. Please go back to your hotels and casinos and just relax a little. I'll tell you when the jig is up.''------------------------------ Hope and Change.... Tragic.

Huck is deflecting the issues
contraction of they are = they're
Not trying to be a smart-ass, just trying to help.
Figured "lossing" (losing) and the second "thier" (their) were just a typing errors.
Yes, New Yorkers are a hard bunch to take. I like to remind people that despite their overwhelmingly stupid political views (which date at least as far back as their Copperhead tendancies during the Civil War), they lined up in the droves to give blood on 9/11 - only to find out that it was completely unneeded. Everyone was dead. Many risked death by volunteering to work on that damned hellacious site after the fall of the buildings. One liberal friend that I have is now suffering serious health problems because of his volunteerism.
But I completely understand where you are coming from. I am a born and bred New Yorker and even I don’t understand them.
The tense usage is not correct, and he should have written, "she had written..."
But that solicism is not an example of "poor sentence construction." The whole argument does not fall down because his editor did not change one letter in a verb.
If you want to grind your teeth away on that one, be my guest. We have much bigger issues in this country.
Well done! Your post reminds me of what I have said to some losers who called GW Bush stupid. The man has degrees from Yale and Harvard, was trained as a jet fighter pilot, was twice elected governor of Texas and twice elected president of the United States in spite of being fiercely opposed by the media and people with no accomplishments of any kind call him stupid. I don’t quarrel much with those who oppose his actions, they have a right to their opinion but when some clown who couldn’t pass his GED calls Mr. Bush stupid I am likely to get nasty.
Yes, in terms of style, the letter is poorly-written. So what.
There are two issues here - they’re separate and distinct.
The first is related to why Obama is hding his long-form BC (which he most assuredly is) - and by the way, I think that’s important even if he was born in Hawaii, which he may well have been. It’s also important even if he’s disqualified from the Presidency because he’s not “natural born” no matter where he was born.
It’s important for the same reason Bill Clinton’s health records and John Kerry’s military records were important: because there’s something there they don’t want us to see.
Trump’s letter pushes back on the MSM slime who refuse to ask the simple question “What’s in the damn thing that nobody is allowed to look at it?”. And for pushing that issue Mr. Trump should be applauded, even if he could use some remedial work in a writing course.
The second issue is whether Trump would be a good President - and his ability to write clearly, cleanly and coherently actually does have some (limited) relevance there. But that’s an issue that at this point takes second place to getting rid of the Bozo currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
And my bottom line on that second issue would be: he’s nowhere near my first choice, but he’d be a helluva improvement over what we’ve got now. Nobody agrees with me on everything I’d want in a President but me - and I’m not running.
