Sarah Palin Flip-Flops on Obama Birth Certificate

Sarah Palin scrambled away from the birther movement last night after giving them a wink and a nod on a conservative radio talk show yesterday. Posting on her Facebook page at 1:16am, Palin writes that, "at no point – not during the campaign, and not during recent interviews – have I asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United States." She tries to dismiss her birther flirtation as just an acknowledgment of voters' right to know: "Voters have every right to ask candidates for information if they so choose. I’ve pointed out that it was seemingly fair game during the 2008 election for many on the left to badger my doctor and lawyer for proof that Trig is in fact my child."

Well ... three problems with her explanation.



First, here's what she said when asked if she would raise the birth certificate issue in a presidential campaign (emphasis mine):

I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue. I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members of the electorate still want answers.

The key word there is "rightfully," which in this context means that it is right--as in correct or proper--to ask the question. She didn't say that the public has the right to ask, she said that it's right for the public to ask. That's an Alaska-sized difference.

Sarah Palin can now wear the brand of Birther because once you stain yourself with Birterism, you're always a Birther.

4. Sarah Palin wouldn't know an Alaska-sized difference if she could see it from her front porch.

But I'm sure that she reads the birth certificates, all of them, any of them. ;-)

6. Actually, the whole subject of birth certificates

should be one she avoids like the plague, given the rampant rumors about little TriG.

5. THIS is the perfect example of why I LOATHE her

I don't know if it's pure evil or just overwhelming ignorance about the consequences of her own words that makes her say the nasty things she says.
