"Any & all questions about Obama's citizenship should have NEVER been broached in the 1st place"

[MrScorpio]

Anything less than that is foolishness, stupidity, hatred and racism.

Of course, the stupid, racist, hate-mongering fools in this country would say otherwise.

1. Yes

2. What angers me the most is how the media played it up. Those nutbags should

have been ignored. Any media attention should have been presented in a mocking fashion.

[gratuitous]

3. The media has examined its behavior, and absolved itself

Each and every time they had a birfer on the air, two and even three times a day, they made sure to end the segment with, "Well, that's what some people are saying," which for the popular media is a direct refudiation of whatever just went before. Even when it's on several times a day. The media claim it is not their fault if the audiences got the wrong message from the endless parade of guests they put on the teevee.

7. Just as they treated every wacky Tea Bag Candidate as if they were credible

No matter how many times Sharon Angle said something INSANE, they behaved as if she was completely credible.

6. Media gave up "fact checking" and "de-bunking" long ago

and just pass along what every crazy shit the Republicans and their insane base say, as if it is all somehow credible.

4. Personally I didn't think McCain qualified to run for President since he was born in Panama.

It's okay to make sure a person is qualified to run. But accusing someone of forgery without evidence is too much.

[Cal33]

8. Isn't McCain a natural-born U.S. citizen because both his parents

were U.S. citizen? It depends on how one defines the meaning of "natural-born."
And McCain's father was a U.S. Navy officer serving his country in Panama at that time.

[Cal33]

5. They knew damned well that Obama is a citizen, they just did this

to harass him and make life difficult for him. The Neocons' job is to make
Obama fail in everything he tries to accomplish.

Now, why don't we ask Trump and all future Repub. presidential candidates
to show their birth certificates also?

[Warren Stupidity]

9. aided and abetted by a compliant media

[rurallib]

10. the republican media got 3 years of fanning the racial flames

under the heading of 'nooze.' While avoiding real issues.
It is what they call a 'win-win.'

[LiberalAndProud]

11. I am convinced. I have stepped through the looking glass into a cartoon world.

It's not funny, but it certainly has nothing to do with what is real.
