The irony is, the same people who are so big on Obama's birth are appalled at the absurd Trig Birtherism. ***yes, clearly they are the same issue Thom, that a VP candidate's children have the same requirement to be a natural born citizen of the US as the President. **and before I get accused of being a birther, I am not, I am 100% convinced that Obama was born when and where he said he was. But I am appalled at the notion that an actually constitutional requirement is being treated dismissively when Obama can end it with a simple phone call. The truth is that the ownership of birtherism is Obama and the democrats, which makes the birthers dupes. But they are dupes with the constitution on their side and while I do not share their passion, I do support their right to be passionate. I mean, using Palin's own logic this week regarding Trump-people investigating Trig's birth should be praised for investigating something that she seems to have kept secret (Palin hasn't released Trig's long form Birth Certificate). Personally? I think both are ridiculous. But I do not understand why pandering to the extremes (although-if 51% of the party claim to be birthers-is it really a fringe view in the party?) is so effective in the Republican Party. As I mentioned in my comment on Facebook...I am trying to imagine Democrats pandering to 9/11 Truthers. ***not like they pander to the Gore won and the Bush lied 'isms'. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
