So, yes, "people" have to mention Palin.....but it isn't anyone from the LEFT.

LMAO
You two really find this of importance, so what if I commmented on what a poster says, looks like I'm becoming as popular as Palin. Didn't know that could happen on CD.

Next you two will be moving next door to me and writing a book!!

As popular? Doubtful.

But there are some clear similarities in other areas.

See you found the need to comment, I'm sure your not following me either.

Looks like you guys are making this more about me then what the OP has asked. Guess the birther's are on to more interesting issues, like making President Obama a one term President.

I follow the Birther threads. When you show up to contribute your idiocies and irrelevancies, I notice.

There's a little thing called ignore me, is your button broken. It's not about me or Palin, now is it, and I haven't tried to make it that way. I don't think Palin will becoming here any time soon, stick around one never knows, she just might pop in.

Think the birther's are bored with the whole thing, moving on to a New President his birth certificate won't matter come November.

I think I was the one who mentioned Palin, but it was to make a point which seems to have gon over most liberal heads here.

My point was a comparison between Palin and the Birthers, both of which are particular obsessions of a segment of the left. They are seeking a whipping boy. I don't think this is even debatable. Liberal colunist Charles Blow did a column on it, castigating his fellow libs over the Palin obsession, complete with supporting stats:

(O.K., I had to write her name there. Sorry.) Left-leaning MSNBC mentioned it nearly 1,000 times. But Fox News, which employs her, mentioned it fewer than 600 times. (Secondary mentions like “Sarah†or “Palin†are not included in the count. Neither is “Mama Grizzly.â€)
People on the left seem to need her, to bash her...
I'm willing to bet that if you did an analysis of 'birther' you would find the exact same effect.

I'm curious as to the political orientation of the OP. I click on 'find all posts by wrecking ball' and the first three pages of posts are all about birtherism and the meaning of 'natural born.' I didn't take the time go keep looking beyond 3 pages.

independent. blissfully/tragically so. i've voted democrat, republican and 3rd party . i never have and don't see myself hitching my wagon to any one party any time in the foreseeable future.

nearly all my posts in this forum are in birther threads. i don't see birtherism so much as a partisan issue but as an extreme example of cognitive dissonance.

This thread is not about Sarah Palin, is it? There is not one thread about Sarah Palin in the first two pages (60 threads) on P&OC. Who exactly is it who is obsessed with her?

Yes it will matter forever to them. Its not about him being one term (which he will not)its about erasing him from the history books. They want to go back to saying no blacks have ever been or ever will be PRESIDENT. Thats it
