This could be yummy, RedState bans the birthers
Edited on Fri Feb-12-10 08:24 PM by ck4829
"We’ve always banned truthers at RedState. Increasingly, we have also banned a number of individuals who think Barack Obama is disqualified from being President because despite the Republican Governor of Hawaii confirming the legitimacy of the Democratic President’s birth origin as a citizen of the United States.

Today I want to reaffirm and make it more definitive. If you think 9/11 was an inside job or you really want to debate whether or not Barack Obama is an American citizen eligible to be President, RedState is not a place for you.

Birfers and Truthers are not welcome here. Period. End of Story.

But I want to expand on this too.

The tea party movement is in danger of getting a bad reputation for allowing birfers and truthers to share the stage. At the National Tea Party, Joseph Farah treated the birfer issue as legitimate. In Texas, tea party activists have rallied to Debra Medina who, just yesterday, refused to definitely dismiss the 9/11 truther conspiracy as crackpot nonsense. If a candidate cannot do that, we cannot help that candidate. It’s that simple.

So we arrive at one of those moments where I am fully prepared to part ways with the individuals and groups willing to share the stage and treat as legitimate the crazies who believe the President was born in Kenya, the crazies who believe our government was complicit September 11th terrorist attacks … two groups, incidentally that increasingly overlap."

3. The GOP is increasingly that the Tea baggers are charting their own course.
In Texas, tea baggers are running candidates in local races in some places, in the GOP primary, against GOP incumbents. The GOP regulars, who are to the right of Newt, are livid. It's hilarious.

5. Fallout from Debra Medina
Finally, the reich wing sees how stupid it looks like to be a birther or a truther, and how it's guaranteed the re-nomination of Kay Bailey Hutchinson, when they would have preferred Medina.

RedState's message to those who would seek the support of the baggers: Shut up about the things we "really" believe.

7. Amid all the left-of-center angst about the growth of the tea party . . .
And the fact that the media has a shiny new toy to play with, can't we take a little bit of comfort in the fact that the right wing has schismed big time? You now have the lunatic fringe, the (somewhat larger) lunatic far-right, both being looked at owlishly by non-crazy Republicans and right-leaning independents. Does anyone here think that's a winning opposition to left-leaning independents and liberal/progressive/Democrats?

8. But, notice that RedState is still wacko: the statement claims "Clintonistas ...
started the birfer rumor" and babbles about "Obama’s ties to the communist," for example

It's classic: all be daft, save I and thou, and I harbor doubts on thou
