Bill Maher and John Stewart

Anti-Birthers are Beginning to Worry

"Why, in this country, is it always the religious right that won't take anything on faith?” - Bill Maher

“ Fear and trembling are brewing among the anti-birther brigade.  For evidence look no further than a sad and confused polemic in the LA Times against conservative truth-seekers by leftist comedian Bill Maher.  In setting out to attack legitimate public concern over such issues as Barack Obama’s birth certificate and Senator John Kerry’s earlier claims about his Vietnam War experience, Maher only deepens the growing American suspicion about the left’s commitment to the truth.  Even worse, Maher’s pathetic tirade against conservatives never rises above an eighth-grade schoolyard tantrum, which should raise further concerns about the effects of drinking kool-aid on a person of otherwise normal intelligence.  In short, although Maher tries to pose as a hip, erudite, and progressive mouthpiece of the left his essay raises disturbing questions about the state of the modern liberal mind.   For example, Maher attempts to lampoon those who simply want to see Obama’s original birth certificate:     “And there's nothing anyone can do to convince these folks. You could hand them, in person, the original birth certificate and have a video of Obama emerging from the womb with Don Ho singing in the background ... and they still wouldn't believe it.  Which raises the question: Why, in this country, is it always the religious right that won't take anything on faith?” Well, Bill, you’ve got an interesting theory here but for some reason you don’t want to test it.  The fact is that the original birth certificate has not been shown. Why?  Maher, incredibly, goes on to blame the media for not being courageous enough in smothering the “lies” about John Kerry and the Vietnam War: [continue American Thinker, Anti-Birthers are Beginning to Worry] ” I know when the left media get hysterical over someone, it's because that person or idea represents a political threat to the Democrat party.  One that needs killing.   It's this "birther" hysteria, more than anything, that leaves me 99% certain that doubts over Obama's citizenship are legitimate. I embedded John Stewart's ( America's most trusted newsman,  now that the reigning king of agitprop is planted in dirt)  own eighth-grade schoolyard tantrum video, where he lashes out at Orly Taitz, who I view as something of a Renaissance woman, and CNN "birther" Lou Dobbs. Now that Taitz has produced what appears to be Obama's Kenyan birth certificate,  Maher and Stewart's next performances ought to be doozies.
