Thread: FOX News Won't Divorce Itself From It's Own Birthers

It seems that the Republican Party is running on the Southern Strategy. The problem for them though is that the South is filling up with non-whites who are likely to outnumber the whites in a decade or less, and when that happens, the only remaining tactic for Republicans will be suppressing the non-white vote.

News Hounds: Hannity "Moves On" From The Birth Certificate Issue By Continuing To Attack Obama Over It

Think the "birther" issue will go away any time soon?

Watch Eric Bolling in the first clip with his panel of utter morons pretending like they're experts on uncovering the real truths as to what's in a birth certificate.

Of Obama, one of the panelists asks, "Who is this man?".

Sean Hannity kept repeating on his show that he has moved on from the issue, but then he continued where Donald Trump left off, asking to see the President's admission records to see if he really was qualified to be accepted into Harvard.

That last theme is the ugliest of them all because it confirms that "birther" is just code for racism. How so? Because to accuse the President of not being qualified to attend Harvard, let alone earning the prestigious honor of being the head of the Harvard Law Review, which takes obvious brains and talent, is to say that he must've only been accepted because he is black, not because he was qualified, which he was.

Media Matters reports that since March 2, FOX has run 52 segments that fuel the "birther" craze, and it hasn't stopped since the President released his long form birth certificate earlier in the week. You can even click to read the breaking news banner at FOX the other day, wherein it said, "White House Shows What It Says Is Obama's Birth Certificate".

I can't wait for the "it's not racist to suggest that Obama only got into Harvard because he's black" comments, which is an avenue this discussion has gone in recent days.

Every time FOX decides to fuel the birther fire, I will be all too happy to post the idiocy here for all to see since they're an embarrassment to any outfit that wishes to call itself worthy of giving us real news.

It's evident that you didn't watch O'Reilly, Fox's most watched show last night.

Of course not.

They where never married to it.

It was always the left that cherry picked it and tried to use it as a weapon.

The trouble is Obama shot his load long before it could have been useful to him in the campaign.

Wow, that liberal whining of "racism" didn't take long to show up this time, Jason. If nothing else, you're whining is getting more efficient, so, kudos for that...

So you're saying that when people imply that Obama could've only made it as President of the Harvard Law Journal because he's black, that that isn't racism?

Racism is as racism does, not my problem that I'm pointing out the obvious, to your disdain apparently.

Do you have a link to any such being implied?

So let's say that you look around your campus one day and notice that there aren't a whole lot of blacks attending classes. You head down to admissions and it turns out that not too many blacks are applying to your school so, instead of actually trying to sort out why this is happening you head over to the alumni association and ask them to set up a scholarship program specifically for racial minorities. You then approach the NAACP and UNCF for support in getting more blacks to attend your school and, as the pièce de résistance you hunt down a nice, black, candidate to head one of your most prestigious student postings.

In the above scenario who is being the racist? Is it everyone who didn't do a whole bunch of outreach for students of a specific ethnicity or is it you?
