Mika Brzezinski On Trump’s ‘Mean’ Birther Crusade: ‘This Promotes Hate’
Mediaite ^ | March 31, 2011 | Matt Schneider

EXCERPT

Brzezinski’s view on Trump’s fascination with the birth certificate:

“I don’t like this, because I think this promotes hate and this brings us back and I thought we had gotten past this. I really do, and I don’t care how serious he feels about it, there are more important things we need to be talking about. He had a chance. Everybody wanted to hear what he had to say, because of exactly where we are in this country. And people were beginning to look at him and I’m sorry this is a bad call.”

Last?

Usually, it’s the first thing they try.
Whoopi G was almost comical in her usage of the race card the other day. She had NO other argument.

Well, Mika - there’s a fetid wad of hate in the oval office. And your dad is another example.

This means that the White House is very worried. She is a direct connection to inside the White House.

I think you are correct... the WH is worried. Probably only Obama and a few others have actually seen the document which means that he is essentially asking the rest of his administration to take it on Faith that he is what he says he is. I think that faith is wavering.

Bor pulled out the Birth Announcement and Trump slammed him, saying Nelson Rockefeller's never put the announcement of any of his kids and we have two young broke hippies paying two birth announcements and he has seen some of the best fraud documents created on Wall Street.

Forged birth certificate? Multiple social security numbers?
Millions spent on lawyers to keep personal records hidden?

“All the other potential candidates are cowards on this issue. Sadly, Palin and Bachmann (who literally have nothing to lose by taking a firm stand on this issue) have backed away from this issue.”

GOP talking points?

Later, former Bush political guru Karl Rove said he thought the “birther” approach by Trump “is a mistake. It will marginalize him.”

Trump may just ride this right in to the White House.

I hope not. Trump may be doing the country a service here, but that doesn't automatically qualify him for the presidency. From what I've seen & heard of Trump he's all over the map politically. I don't know if he has a coherent political philosophy.

As with Watergate, the most damning part is the cover-up.

Yep, had to produce mine just three days ago for that very purpose. My guess would be, IL does not follow the federal requirement, which has interesting implications, when the fed stops recognizing IL drivers license as a means of identification. That is how the requirement is being portrayed in SD.

“The libs can’t respond so they start spouting the “hate” nonsense to change the subject.”

Not just to change the subject but to make the subject taboo by labeling it “hate” to even discuss it. Try to change the perception of the question to something only a Klansman would ask.

One way or another the birth certificate undermines the Obama narrative to the point of at least putting a second term in jeopardy if not bringing a premature end to his first term.

In typical Bolshecrat fashion, Mika pins all hate back to enforcing a law, unless, that law benefits a Bolshecrat.

How long before somebody proposes making filing an FOIA request a “hate crime”?

Interesting perspective ...

http://www.businessinsider.com/birther-issue-goes-mainstream-2011-3-31

Back in the days before the Internet, senior political reporters at the “serious” media outlets wouldn’t write about personal scandals directly. They would “analyze” the “impact” of scandals on “perceptions.”

That way, everybody could pretend that they weren’t discussing Gary Hart’s “liaison” with Donna Rice, they were just discussing its impact on Gary Hart’s political future.

The challenge for journalists today is to somehow get the “birther” issue into their copy (because it generates a ton of hits) without alienating the good opinion of their colleagues, all of whom in New York-Washington media circles are resolute in their belief that “birthers” are insane.

Back to the old dodge! Don’t talk about the issue. Talk about the politics of the issue.
