I really, REALLy find this Alan Nathan guy to be an unsavory character, and no "centrist" at all.

1. The idea that Nathan is a centrist is completely bogus

[Chakab]

2. The notion that this guy is a "centrist"

is laughable. Every time that I've heard a clip of him, he's espousing a right wing (and far right at that) position. Last clip I heard, he was claiming that there was far more vitriol from coming from the left than the right in political discourse while citing Jeremiah Wright as an example of "violent" left wing rhetoric. Now, he's claiming earnestly that Obama is somehow at fault for purportedly not giving up conclusive proof that he's a US citizen.

This guy is perfect example of how perverted the concepts of "centrism" and "neutrality" have become in the modern political debate.

3. what's this "long form" about? I don't have one,

my kid doesn't have one- who has one?

4. Why didn't Pakman

just ask this guy why he believes he is a citizen? That would have shut hi up. He arguing for something he does not even believe in.

5. Corporate Influence is missing from both arguments. And , fuck this Alan Nathan...

He dodged Pakman's point.

6. What a tool.

This guy kept going on and on about how persuasion isn't proof. If President Obama proved to election officials that he's a natural-born citizen, no one else matters. Not birthers, and not some idiot radio host. And at least he was elected, not appointed. I wish someone would ask these birther idiots why they weren't up in arms about the Bush/Gore election if they were so damn concerned about the constitutionality of elections.
