    If you demand Trig’s medical paperwork then produce the REAL birth certificate for President-Elect Obama.

    The MSM folk are products of the great liberal education experiment. They have not suffered pain or depravation or real war. They think that they can look into the eyes of our enemies and see into their sweet souls.

    There will be hell to pay down the road. Russia and China are not going to play nice with the libs.

    Not really. Consider that 90% of babies diagnosed with Downs (or other disabilities) are aborted, and I think some on the left just can’t get their head around the fact that Trig is not only wanted just as he is, but loved just as he is.

    Stalin rewrote people out of history. He sent his operatives into libraries, and wiped them from newspaper photographs, textbooks, etc. Hitler had the German army destroy entire buildings in his own home town of Linz, Austria to erase any embarrassing information.

    I think we are going to see a lot of ass covering, emphasis on lies trying to make them true by retelling, and general rewrites because most of the media have been in the pocket of the Libs. Message to the media. You are not going to undue what your absolute despicable reporting has shown. I know who you are and what you are.
    Just think of yourself as out of work Obama campaign staffers. So get a life or become a camp follower.
    Leave children along you sorry ass people. I’m starting to believe your trying to destroy Gov Palin because she is a real threat to the pay check. The leaks were not from the McCain camp.I think all of this is paid for by the Liberal Democrats. Oh, I didn’t say that. It came from an anonymous source.

    The fact that Howie Kurtz has a column at the Washington Post is freaking laughable.

    He’s the quintessential poster boy for the MSM.

    Sure, Matthews, Olbermann, and Dowd are bigger A**Holes than Howie.

    But Howie better exemplifies all the clueless geeks who infest the Drive-by media.

    I’m not interested in what the guy who ran the projector in the A/V club back in H.S. now has to say about geopolitics.

    The fact that he even has a forum speaks volumes about the Liberal Media.

    Ignore them.

    Hey Howie,

    Yes, he did. And history will show he was right despite the best efforts from the democrat party to make it otherwise so.

    Face it, for the MSM there is absolutely no limit to the depths to which they will sink, there is no lie they will not tell, there is no end to the ways they will omit or manipulate facts and just make things up when it suits their purpose.

    And we have proof that no matter what they do, a too-large number of the American people will believe them. We now have a largely under-educated and gullible populace which is the harvest of years of liberals controlling education from pre-school to the universities.

    The bottom of that
    ‘Certificate of Live Birth’ carries the following.

    ohsm 1.1 (rev 11/01) Laser
    [HRS 338-13(b), 338-19

    I believe that means the form used was a version from November 2001.

    There is also a bleed through of a date stamp on the other side that would seem to be 2007.

    I was required to produce a certified Birth Certificate to get a passport, but then again, he doesn’t need a Passport or a Security clearance now, does he.

    This week, I have been making my teenager memorize the Preamble and all of the amendments. Im having her watch the old Schoolhouse Rock videos that we used to watch on Saturday Morning in the 70′s.

    For anyone with kids/grandkids, all of the Schoolhouse Rock segments are still available.

    Unfortunately I discovered her education is worse than I ever knew. She had NO IDEA when the Declaration of Indepence was signed. (Her guesses were 300 years ago, 400 years ago, 1736 and 1492, sigh…..) BiCentennial?? No clue what that meant.

    WOW just lost my faith in snopes, that’s a hard pill to swallow. Little off subject I know, sorry, but I still can’t understand why if he’s so legit, where are his personal records? You know the basics we all go through life with, birth certificate, why has the Gov. Of Hawaii sealed it, the certificate is needed to verify citizenship, a requirement for the office of POTUS? Or how about his school records, what is this guy afraid of us knowing about him? We already know he has surrounded himself with America haters all of his adult life, actually married to one.
    Now any of you on th thread that want to tell me it’s a mute point, save your ink. It is a requirement by the constitution of the United States, all I’m saying is, it’s a requirement or it isn’t. He the “Mighty One” even said the other day when he was all for having his auntie deported “we are a nation of laws and the laws need to be enforced”
    Unless in concerns the Zero or a lib or liberal cause.

    I agree as well, and I would also assert that if someone questioned my parentage and insinuated that perhaps my mother would have been better served and a better human being if she had aborted me, then I would consider that an attack on me as well.

    The ONE has been elected and the news is Palin, Palin, Palin. How’s Obama going to fare being second? How fickle the media is. How many losing VP candidates have slipped into obscurity? The media looked foolish fawning all over Obama and they will look just as ridiculous trashing Palin. Her pioneer spirit and common sense has resonated with the public. The genie is out of the bottle!

    If Howard Kurtz is giving us the answer, who asked the question? Besides Kurtz himself, who wanted to hear him lie about Trig-gate? He sounds like a guilty little kid pointing to his siblings when confronted by an angry parent: “They started it!” We’ve heard of white guilt as a factor in this election. Is this an example of MSM guilt?

    birth certificate, why has the Gov. Of Hawaii sealed it

    Speaking of re-writing history…

    I want him to make his birth certificate available too but in the State of Hawaii, your birth certificate is PRIVATE. The governor hasn’t “sealed” it – by law it is sealed unless he releases it. No one else can do so. No Joe the Plumber snooping by state employees.

    The question is more like, if you have to be a citizen, how is it determined?

    Good point. I have a feeling that when Trig gets older, his parents will have raised a young man that won’t take it personally.

    Yes. Also, she will be on the national frontlines whether she intends to or not, b/c of the energy issues and pipeline. The country and the world will be treated to her example of leadership in action, the publicity she deserves.

    Obama’s parents knew exactly what they were doing. Hawaii has some strange laws concerning birth certificates, who can get one, etc. Check it out.

    First of all, there are two type of “birth certificates.” Pretty much every state has these. The first is a true Certificate of Live Birth. I have one. So do my wife and children.

    The second is a Certification of Live Birth. Notice the difference? The Certificate means the state can prove you were born within the borders of the state. They have the attending physician’s name, hospital, etc.

    The Certification means “the child was born alive, but we can’t prove it was within the borders of the state. We’ll just take your word for it.”

    Obama has a certification, not a certificate. There is no evidence that he was born in Hawaii. There is only evidence that Hawaii has made a certification that he was born.

    Big difference!!!

    What are the names of Kurtz’s family members and where are they and are there any photos? He is demanding this information be published if I read his denial article correctly. Until these journalists get a dose of their own medicine, we are all at risk of having these angry nuts fire bomb our homes.
