Hey Bill,
On the April 15th, 2010 broadcast of the O’Reilly Factor, you played a little too fast and loose with the truth when discussing the case of Lt. Col Terry Lakin. Lakin, whom we both recall refused orders to deploy to Afghanistan, cited lingering doubts over the constitutionality of Barack Obama’s presidency, and by extension, the legality of his orders to deploy.
Before we get started, a word of advice: You should really skip the “Humble Correspondent” bit, your ego is enormous and dwarfed only by Obama’s.
Your entire segment on Lakin was so laden with eye-rolls, snarky facial expressions and verbal sanctimony, your Body Language Expert, Tonya Reiman would have a field day dissecting it.
My principal beef with you is your oft-repeated claim that you single-handedly debunked the alleged myth that Barack Obama was not born in the United States by digging up two public notices in Hawaii papers announcing the August, 1961 birth of little Barry and that these notices prove beyond doubt that Obama was born in the United States.
You opined that Obama’s parents would have had to “fake Barack Obama’s birth, ‘cuz we’re gonna know he’s gonna be president” and that “Newspapers only print birth announcements when you call them and tell them ‘Hey, your baby’s born.’” Well, perhaps next time you get the urge to be so sanctimonious on air, you might check your facts first, for those statements expose your second-grade reasoning and feeble command of this issue.
Contrary to the narrow way in which you’ve framed this debate, there is not one, but several theories percolating about Barack Obama’s citizenship, or lack thereof, ranging from his being born in Kenya to his being born in the US to parents who were ineligible to confer natural-born status upon him...

I haven’t watched him for the last 18 months. I simply cannot stand this egomaniac. He’s a phoney too. I really think he’s a liberal at heart.
It’s all about the ratings. Integrity comes in last. Not worth a damn.
I predict a new 3rd party unknown network will rise from the ashes of all these idiots and will pick up the job as being the checkpoint for our media.
I don't know as to whether Fox was ever an unbiased news outlet. Maybe it was just perception buoyed by hope. Nevertheless, we have to get used to big electronic media being operated by the left and move on. One does not need to see electronic images to understand what's going on. Talk radio and FR seem to be sufficient news sources to me.
It’s pretty standard procedure to print birth announcements in one’s home town paper. We did although we lived thousands of miles away when our kids were born.
IIRC, the alleged newspaper “announcement” did not list a hospital, which home town papers usually did (and still do).
Not a “birther” but I’d sure like to see proof! (And his transcripts, and his writings, and who paid the bills, and...and....and....)
Well in an age where Obama makes Carter look like Reagan, the MSM makes FNC look unbiased.
We have been Alynskied...all upside down, nothing makes sense.
Perpetual opposite day.
