Air traffic controllers beware, today’s forecast calls for a good chance of flying pigs emerging from a rapidly freezing over Hell–and all because I just found myself in agreement with a viewpoint of Michelle Malkin.
What does it say about Dr. Ron Polarik, Robert L Schulz, the Free Republic, and FreedomMarcher Joe when even the prime diva beating the vast-MSM-America-hater-conspiracy drum decides their campaign about Barack Obama’s citizenship status tests credulity? When rightwing nutjobs are too irrational for even Ms. Malkin, you know they must be the fringe of the fringe.
So as a departure from our usual tendency to post unflattering pictures of Michelle while criticizing her, Prudence and I would like to thank her for using her conservative platform to try and inject a little sanity into the current debate.
A dangerously large segment of the birth certificate hunters have lurched into rabid Truther territory. The most prominent crusader against Obama’s American citizenship claim, lawyer Philip Berg (who, not coincidentally, is also a prominent 9/11 Truther), disputes that Obama was born in Hawaii and claims that Obama’s paternal grandmother told him she saw Obama born in Kenya.
Berg and his supporters further assert that the “Certification of Live Birth” produced by Obama was altered or forged. They claim that the contemporaneous birth announcement in a Hawaii newspaper of Obama’s birth is insufficient evidence that he was born there. (Did a fortune-teller place it in the paper knowing he would run for president?). And they accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being part and parcel of the grand plan to install Emperor Obama and usurp the rule of law.
I believe Trig was born to Sarah Palin. I believe Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on U.S. soil. I believe fire can melt steel and that bin Laden’s jihadi crew – not Bush and Cheney – perpetrated mass murder on 9/11. What kind of kooky conspiracist does that make me?
