Birther editor of WorldNetDaily and Andrew Breitbart get in fight at Tea Party Convention

[Jennicut]

Attending the Tea Party Convention in Nashville this weekend, The Washington Independent's always-excellent David Weigel recounts an extraordinary hallway confrontation between online publisher Andrew Breitbart and WorldNetDaily Editor-in-Chief Joseph Farah over the question of President Obama's citizenship.

During his speech, Farah said he hoped that Mr. Obama would not be able to go into any city without seeing signs asking about his bith certificate. "It's a simple question but it hasn't been answered," he said, adding that "it's one of the most important questions that we can be asking."

Following the speech, Farah was cornered by Weigel, who informed him that Breitbart had dismissed the birther argument as a losing political argument. When Breitbart later walked by, Farah insisted that it was "a winning issue." (You can read the entire article but I want to reproduce this verbatim snippet.)

"It’s not a winning issue."

"It is! It becomes even more of a winning issue when the press abrogates its responsibility–"

Fascinating, more infighting between teabagger types.

1. They just want it to get in the newspapers probably.....

it's like when you have 200 reporters waiting for a story,
someone out of the remaining 400 folks is bound to give it to them.

2. "Is not!" "Is so!"

You can just feel the intellectual heat.

3. So, this jerkoff's problem isn't that it's insane and smacks of racism. No his problem

with it is that it's not a "winning issue". :eyes:

4. Do they not REALIZE he doesn't even have time to LAUGH at them...

.... much less stress over a bunch of whack jobs pressing him on his citizenship?

Seriously?!
