New GOP meme. When asked "why don't you inform your supporters Obama was born in Hawaii?" gop/teabag

[applegrove]

pundits/politicians respond "it is up to Obama to explain it, not me". And of course when Obama says anything it never makes it on to fox news. He is completely shut out from these americans, so GOP/teabagger politician/pundits can keep their supporters in the dim bubble they currently inhabit, forever.

Will reporters in the MSM point out the meme for the cop-out that it is when it involves acknowledging and sliced and diced the media is.

1. That dog won't hunt no more.

The Teabagger Republican Party didn't get anywhere with this the first time, except with their racist base, and the rest of the country has already moved on over this birfer nonsense.


They are starting to sound a little desperate already...guess they know that 2012 is looking grim for them.


Failed recycled memes ain't gonna get their goober elected.

2. Exactly.

And they can't even decide who they want to nominate, never mind vote for!

3. Oh! unrecs. One would think this is one of those universally acceptable OPs

for democrats. Because we all don't like fox news. I simply cannot wait until unrecs are gotten rid of.

4. do you a link to this

where are you getting this information

5. Someone posted about the GOP saying it yesterday. It was Bachman I think. The rest poped

into my head as I was talking politics to my parents. No link. But I can search for the link to Bachman saying it if you don't believe me.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann sidestepped the issue of President Obama's citizenship on Thursday, saying that "it's not for me to state" whether or not Mr. Obama is a Christian or U.S. citizen.

In an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," Bachmann, a Tea Party favorite and potential 2012 presidential contender, said she thought the president should be taken "at his word" about his status as a U.S. citizen, but stopped short of saying that she believed that he was one.

"Can you just state very clearly that President Obama is a Christian and he is a citizen of the United States?" asked ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

"Well that isn't for me to state, that is for the president to state," Bachmann responded.

9. Thank you so much for backing me up. I had tried a search but couldn't find

yesterday's article. :hi:

6. Isn't it the responsibility of the accuser? nt

8. It is actually the responsibility of the leadership to lead. And lead the GOP are in an unleaderly

way. They let freaking stuff bubble up from the base and don't inform their followers of the facts. It is a choice they are making as leaders. They should be asked about their leadership styles. They are politicians afterall.

10. What are ways to make it past fox news to the GOP/teabagger supporters?

Local newspapers?

[pampango]

11. That tactic smacks of desperation/cluelessness and probably helps Obama with most independents

who see this obsession with his birth certificate for the paranoia that it really is. I sometimes wonder if Obama doesn't secretly smile to himself when teabaggers whine about his B/C.

12. let the birthers wallow in their own ignorance...

President Obama will NEVER be able to satisfy the ignorant folks who will die believing he was born in kenya and is a terrorist muslim....fuck them one and all

[LoZoccolo]

13. A suitable comeback might be "if you believe it, are you afraid take a stand on it?"

And then "If (some Republican who has affirmed Obama's citizenship) can admit it, who not you?"

14. K&R-The media know where their money comes from and are not

interested in such things as "truth".
