Palin backs questions on Obama citizenship
Source: Washington Post

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is lending her support to a conspiracy theory promoted by fringe groups, saying of the idea that President Obama may not have an American birth certificate, "I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue."

Palin's comments came in an interview Thursday on "The Rusty Humphries Show," a conservative radio program, while promoting her book about the 2008 presidential campaign, "Going Rogue."

"I think it's a fair question, just like I think past associations and past voting records -- all of that is fair game," the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee said.

Those who question Obama's birthplace have become known as "birthers" and are a persistent and vocal presence in GOP circles, especially within the Tea Party movement that has sprung up over the course of 2009.

2. Palin and her followers are religious freaks
plain and simple. If every article citing Palin included the phrase 'failed governor and religious freak' - she and her fellow religious freaks could be marginalized and no longer taken seriously.

15. I don't think that would pass muster in the MSM.
How about "failed governor and religious extremist"? It could be her official sobriquet, like "Rick 'man on dog' Santorum."

4. She should stick to fishing for REAL fish
Stirring up a already disproven theory about POTUS Obama's citizenship means she is still not over the election.
Why is Ms. Palin still fishing in an empty pond?

She should at least stick to the book tour circuit...

5. Rusty Humphries sounds like a disease. No wonder she went on the show.
You know - "Ever since I started drinking Kool-Aid by the gallon, my humphries are getting scabby and covered with brown stains"

17. I was just thinking
Palins relatives came to this country in the late 1850's and at that time you had to apply for citizenship, are they really citizens. And are their children citizens. Were children of illegal aliens to be made citizens...???

29. I try not to use obscenity
but she is a fucking moron. I know the spelling is moran, but I really reserve that for the low-level foot soldiers of the right who inspite of their stupidity are sincere (even if it is the sincerity of bigotry). She, though, is one dangerous, demagogic little shit: meaner than catshit, ambitious and with a following.
