Sarah Palin revives 'stupid conspiracy' of Obama's birth certificate [Updated]
We're still scratching our head as to what exactly Sarah Palin meant by her four-sentence blog post Thursday night on Facebook.
The blip, titled "Stupid Conspiracies," starts out with a clear complaint about "conspiracy-minded reporters" during the election bothering her doctor and lawyer about whether her baby, Trig, was truly her son. She's of course talking about Andrew Sullivan's blog post, which sparked the nontroversy.
Then Palin triumphantly points out that she never "asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United States."
OK ...
Because The Ticket spent many months in 2008 attempting to decode various statements and allusions by Palin, we've got the experience to give this one a crack. We've narrowed it down to two possibilities.
Possibility A: She wanted to take a moment to highlight that she had reached the moral high ground.
See? She didn't question President Obama's legitimacy as an American citizen, unlike various conservative skeptics, pundits and conspiracy theorists. Or she had already seen the birth certificate when The Ticket posted a picture of it in June last year.
We're not really sure what point she'd be trying to make there. It's a nonsensical analogy. It's not like Barack Obama hosted a radio show and called her a baby faker.
Anyway, that's option A.
Possibility B: She fought tooth and nail to restrain herself from asking the crucial question of whether Obama could produce a legitimate birth certificate during the campaign. (Again, he could.) But no more Mrs. Nice Gal. It's time to ask questions. We demand to see the birth certificate! (It's right there.)
So, we're pretty stumped. Tell us in the comments: Is it option A or B? Or you can make up a completely incoherent statement and call it option C. It doesn't matter.
[Updated at 8:55 p.m.: To clarify, the issue of Palin's baby was raised on her blog in response to a radio interview question.]

Hi
I am taking the time to write this because I have nothing else to do looking at the news if you could call it that today is like watching cartoons. Nothing real and if they get a fact by the time it's on the screen it's been twisted five ways to sunday to portray their view. Which is the view of the political party they are in bed with.

You are stumped because you do not think anymore by yourself.
If you would you would notice that Sarah Palin compares rumors about her son not actually being her son to rumors about Obama not being born on the US soil. The title of the article is deceptive too, it suggests that Sarah Palin has something to do with accusation against Obama birth place. LA Times, you should be ashamed.
Posted by: Peter | December 04, 2009 at 07:29 PM
Well maybe it's her way of throwing it back at the media..after all she had to show Trig's certificate.
Posted by: MJB | December 04, 2009 at 07:32 PM
It is vitaly important that Sarah Palin remain in good stead with the feeble minded Republican base all the way through to 2012. With the GOP metaphorically continuing to shoot themselves in their own feet, there is less chance any viable opposition from them in the 2012 presidential elections. In Dick Cheney's case that should read actualy shooting thier supporters in the head. Still applies.
Posted by: R.I.P. GOP | December 04, 2009 at 07:35 PM
Seriously? Those are your options. She is killin you guys on the liberal left who think you own the media. ROFLOL
Okay, option C: The Obama camp launched several researchers and "journalists" on her and her personal life. Which, considering the importance of the office seemed valid. It was his minions that launched such a "stupid conspiracy" about her. She has to constantly highlight the hypocrisy from the “news” media.
Posted by: colokid777 | December 04, 2009 at 07:46 PM
Option C: She's stirring up the Birthers simply by alluding to it. It has nothing to do with anything except to push the buttons of the birthers... and to encourage our military people, who've been through terrible trauma, to now question whether their Commander in Chief is legitimate. Soldiers know that whatever one's political leaning, the President IS the Commander in Chief. It's disgraceful of her to even hint that the birthers might be right.
Posted by: Granny Nerd | December 04, 2009 at 07:51 PM
How stupid do you have to be to see that the bleeding heart Libs did every thing that they could to try and show that Trig was not Sarahs, but did nothing to see if Oboma was for real.

Revives? Stupid? Conspiracy?
The issue of AKA Obama hiding his past is robust and growing stronger.
The only "stupid" aspect of the story is those non-birthers who have been taken in by a Chicago con-man.
Issues with solid research behind them are not conspiracies.
If you are not suspicious of a man who hides his history I have a bridge in the desert I want to sell you.
If you are unwilling to call for an investigation of a man who attempts to sell you a bridge in the desert I have some beach front property in Florida at the intersection of I75 and Florida # 29 that I want you to buy.
If you place a down payment on a contract for the bridge in the desert and the beach front property in the swamp I would conclude that you voted for Obama.
Can you pass the: Obama Eligibility Logic Test?

Or get educated and read:
Somehow, you know its coming. That OMG moment is just around the corner. You can feel the inescapable reality creeping up on you. Something will leak. Someone will spill the beans.

It doesn't surprise me that you're scratching your head. You obviously don't have a clue about much of anything. You referred to a picture of a birth certificate, but you failed to mention that the "birth certificate" had no doctors signature, no witness signature, no hospital name, etc. Have you seen a long form birth certificate with those characteristics, or are you referring to that blatantly photoshopped fraud?
In other words, that electronic fabrication was in no way official. Surely you're not so ignorant, or naive to not realize this? If not, that only leaves outright deceit on your part.
Posted by: joe | December 04, 2009 at 08:02 PM
It is option C. Palin is starting to get very nervous about the whole issue of Trig. She has given three differend versions of her "birth story", once in her book and two other times in an interview with 2 reporters, both of which are archived. Why are all three different? Regardless of the different stories, it doesn't add up. She got on a plane with broken membranes after she claims she talked to her doctor (how many docs examine their patients over the phone?) without even a check with a doc in texas. Palin, a woman with 4 other live births and 2 serious miscarriages was considered a high risk pregnancy and her baby a high risk infant, got on a plane with broken membranes, with signs of labor (her words) with a preemie down's baby with a known heart defect (if he had been born in the air he would have died) AFTER waiting several hours to give a speech, gets on two flights across a continent, bypassing the only NICU hospital in the state to deliver in a small hospital where her doctor (a gen practitioner with no liability coverage for high risk delivery) has only delivered a handful of babies. Option C is really bad for Sarah because she has NO explanation for her irresponsible CHOICE to get on the plane in the first place. But option C is bad enough when one considers how that baby could have died. Option C is REALLY bad when you consider that Sarah, a woman SO preoccupied with perceptions of her and just how embarassing would it be to report the Gov of AK delivered a baby in the aisle of a plane (a baby that later died on a plane) that you can clearly see that she NEVER flew across country pregnant in the first place. She would NEVER have risked ruining her image. She is scared that people will either think she's a reckless mom or a liar. Which is it Sarah?
Posted by: Nin | December 04, 2009 at 08:08 PM
Sorry, but that is NOT a birth certificate. It is in fact a "certification of live birth" which is also issued to children in Hawaii that are not actually BORN in Hawaii. Children born in Hawaii are always issued a "Birth Certificate"........we have yet to see such a document from Barack Hussien Obama.

Option C: Sarah Palin never "asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United States" during the 2008 Presidential campaign although she really, really wanted to ask. The McCain campaign promised her if she didn't ask this question, they would let her make her own concession speech on Election Eve, before McCain spoke. Once she realized that this was just a fake promise, it was too late, until she realized she could bring the birth certificate up all over again by reminding us she never spoke on the issue. It's all part of her plan to make the McCain campaign look bad. Palin also has promised to produce all prenatal care records, hospital and birth records, and original, unamended birth certificates for all the Palin children, as part of her good faith effort to encourage President Obama to show his real birth certificate.

"Sorry, but that is NOT a birth certificate. It is in fact a "certification of live birth" which is also issued to children in Hawaii that are not actually BORN in Hawaii."
What utter nonsense. First of all the place of birth would indicate a different place of birth if a person wasn't born in Hawaii. Yes, it is possible to get a American birth certificate for those not born in America, such as children of military personnel or embassy staff where both parents are American citizens. Certificate or Certification. It seems that some have to learn what those words mean. The words mean the exactly the same thing, but the difference is the usage of the words.
Posted by: Anthony | December 04, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Many Americans were so fed up with President Bush and wanting "change" that they were not willing prior to the presidential election, or are they are they willing at the present time to objectively look at the matter of Obama's eligibility to serve as president. In 3 clear ways he is ineligible: 1) He was born in Mombasa, Kenya; 2) He was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather and he became an Indonesian citizen. At the time Indonesia, did not have dual citizenship. He attended a school as a child in Indonesia in which only Indonesian citizens can attend. He visited Indonesia duing 1981, at a time when our state dept. was not allowing U.S. citizens to go there. 3) His father was a British citizen at a time when being such automatically made his chidren also to be British citizens.
If Obama is eligible, he would easily pay 10.00 and have his LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE examined (the one that states the hospital one was born in, the name of the delivering physician and the witnesses. Since he hasn't, it should be more than apparent to any objective person that he was not born in the U.S. That doesn't require a lot of reasoning to understand.
Posted by: Dr. James Padgett | December 05, 2009 at 02:56 AM
Obama is hiding something about his birth. And to Commenter Stevie: McCain's birth was highly questioned and even taken before Congress. Obama is not being treated differently by being questioned, he is being treated differenty by NOT being forced to release all of his past historical records.
Posted by: Judy Strickland | December 05, 2009 at 04:01 AM
This guy is the President of the United States Of America, the constitution plainly states that in order to be eligible to run for the office of the President, the person must be a natural born citizen. If logic follows, which it most certainly does, and there are any doubts him not being a natural born citizen, then he, at least should be made to produce an actual original birth certificate. So, far, he's only been able to produce a birth certificate of live birth, which is not the same as an original. Why does he need to pay his lawyers almost 2 million dollars in an effort to conceal the fact that he doesn't really have a true birth certificate, or that he was really born in Kenya.
Posted by: kevtop351 | December 05, 2009 at 04:54 AM
She and her supporters are clearly brain-dead. McCain should burn in hell for bringing this yokel to the national stage.
Posted by: Michael | December 05, 2009 at 05:28 AM
I think it would be fitting as hell, for Palin to come out on stage waving a copy of her "Long Form Birth Certificate",and saying,...see America, they do exist,and unlike Obama that spends your money to keep his from prying eyes,here's mine.
Posted by: Bob | December 05, 2009 at 05:40 AM
No, Anthony, those are NOT the same words. A "certification" of live birth is issued as opposed to still born. "Honolulu" is listed simply as where foreign-born babies are registered in-State. It would never list "Kenya" there. It is a fact that out-of-State births ARE noted in exactly the same way. Keeping spinning though.

Working class people- you know, the ones that serve you and clean up after you, repair your homes, grow and harvest the food you eat love Sarah Palin and all she stands for. We know the disdain you feel for her is just an extention of what you've always felt for us. Remember, we are many while you are few. Keep tearing her apart, as it just makes us stronger
Posted by: Blue collar | December 05, 2009 at 06:34 AM
So what is wrong with Sarah Palin's statement? She simply said that, the American public have a right to ask the question, "where was our president born"? What's so strange or wacky about that statement ? You don't have to be a Birther to say, "the public has A RIGHT TO ASK THAT QUESTION . Why , don't you think they do? Don't you think that if we were talking about a Republican President, that the Democrats and every mainstream media outlet would be pounding this story, just look what they tried to do over President Bush's National Guard service. I am not a Birther, I think it's silly, and I really don't care, yet some people do care, and so I do believe people have the right to ask that question. We know what this is all about, you are grasping at straw's to try to damage Mrs. Palin. You would love to be able to define her as a crazed Birther. Stop being so disingenuous. It just is not so.
Posted by: willegge | December 05, 2009 at 07:08 AM
Um, just look on snopes.com if you want to see his birth certificate you crazy, racist wingnuts. And I'm sure Obama's mom new he was goint to be president so she put birth annoucements in the paper. You people just hate black and that's why you are trying to create a fake issue out of this!!! HATERS!!!

Posted by: CMHensley | December 05, 2009 at 08:35 AM
Palin's point, obviously too complicated for the journalists and future grocery baggers at the dying LA Times, is that Obama has never been subjected to the kind of scrutiny an objective press gives real poltical candidates. Even John McCain was required to validate his citizenship, but not Obama. We are repeatedly assured Bush was a poor student, even though he got better grades than either of his opponents, but Barry's school records are sealed. The man disappeared for several years and not one "responsible" journalist has tried to find out where he was, who he was associating with, or what he was doing.
Personally, I remember him standing outside the NY Public Library on 42nd Street selling pot to college kids. Prove me wrong.
Palin flatly stated she doesn't doubt Obama's citizenship. That flat statement is why you didn't even have the professionalism to link or reprint her statement. You're a liar and a coward, Mark.

Whatever else BHO is, he is NOT "African-American"; at BEST he's Kenyan American, though his da-da was actually more an ethnic ARAB thana Kenyan
national. If you regard him as "African-American", then you need to also redesignate most Americans, using the CONTINENT rather than the country for ethnic distinctions and thereby regard them as North American-Americans.

Posted by: Joe | December 05, 2009 at 09:34 AM
Yes, here comes that stubborn old "stupid conspiracy" again. I have but one question regarding the birth certificate issue. Please bear in mind that no one has ever answered this question satisfactorily. So I patiently await your replies.
How is it that every aspect of GW Bush's early life was sifted through and examined (both pre and post-election), including the use of forged documents by a major network anchor, while everything we were and are supposed to know about candidate/"President" Obama is contained in his 2 autobiographical masterworks?
I'm reminded of the statement by Senator Everett Dirksen, who observed that "the Romans once elected a horse to their Senate, but at least they had the good sense to elect the whole horse."
Posted by: Martin Truther | December 05, 2009 at 11:04 AM
When we think of being stupid, how stupid must Obama be to not present a proper detailed birth certificate after all this time. How stupid for Obama to have spent upwards of 1 million dollars just to hide the birth certificate information. If it was anyone else I would become a little suspicious but not with Oboma he is too pure. He only wants to take my money and give it to more deserving people such as GM union members, Fanny Mae, Freddy Maxs, Goldman Sacks and the rest of his far left wing friends.
Posted by: tfagan | December 05, 2009 at 11:20 AM
The birthers are hysterical! They should take a look at other Hawaiian birth certificates and then they'd see that Obama's is the standard document of Hawaii. Does that make ALL of them invalid? Does that mean ALL of them are "hiding" their past? Please.
Sarah Palin just likes to stir the pot. She brings it up so she can say "not me, I'm not saying that" but she brings it up all the same. It's what she does. As for the whole Trig "conspiracy" well, the truth is wayyy more bizarre. She knew she was carrying a special needs baby. That, along with her age, made the pregnancy a high risk pregnancy. Yet, when she's eight months along, she hops a plane to Texas for political reasons. Then she goes into labor. Leaking amniotic fluid, she hops back on the plane and flies home to Alaska so Trig can be born there, making him an Alaskan citizen and eligible for his share of the funds ALL citizens get. No doctor I know would condone flying after seven months, and no woman I know would fly while in labor, especially when knowingly carrying a special needs baby.
Birthers need to find some other conspiracy to cling to, and Sarah Palin needs to stop using her poor baby as a prop in her campaign- er, her bus - er, her book signing tour. Hasn't he been through enough already?
Posted by: Katie | December 05, 2009 at 12:15 PM
Obama won't release a long form of his birth certificate. If he was born here he would just show it. A lot these so-called conspiracies have a lot of validity because the government does not respond to them. For example, the people of New York 66% want an independent investigation into 911 because the 911 Commission Report was such an insulting laughingstock and the government has fought this.
What are they hiding?
It's going to be interesting to see how they handle climategate.
Posted by: Craig | December 05, 2009 at 01:08 PM
What's letting this issue fester is that Obama has NOT, in fact, provided a 'birth certificate' for scrutiny. Commentators on the issue ignore Hawai'i's very unusual birth records law, which existed at the time of Barack Obama's birth, and enabled parents to record out-of-state births as 'Hawai'ian'. The Certificate of Live Birth provided by Obama's officials does not establish whether-or-not he was truly born where he claims to have been. Adding to the confusion, press releases from Obama's staff and even a statement from his sister initially placed his birth at Queen's, rather than Kapi'olani. Throughout the last year, whenever questions were raised, Obama, his staff and supporters brushed them aside as 'crazy' and 'racist'. 'Mr Openness and Transparency' has let this silly matter grow into a scandal. Releasing Hawai'ian Department of Public Health. Kapi'olani hospital and even college admission records (which would indicate if Obama registered as a 'foreign' student) would put the issue to rest. The Media could also display a little more curiosity here. While happilly reporting illegally-obtained records of 'Joe the Plumber' and George Bush II (including informantion on his haemmorrhoidectomy--really), the mainstream media refuses to delve into the various inconsistencies of Obama's life story.

Sarah Palin is a pot-stirring fraud. She's cute and she's charming and she's got a ridiculously loyal following, but she's also a liar and a quitter and she's a laughingstock in the eyes of the rest of the world. She's the epitome of the dumbing down of America. She's no more qualified to be POTUS than the self-described "real" Americans who worship at her feet, unless whining, finger-pointing, and name-calling are leadership traits.

Obama is keeping the best available evidence secret. Let's just add suppression of evidence to the other charges of election fraud, campaign finance violations and filing fraudulent documents in all 50 states.
No matter what you might think there is no escaping that AKA Obama is not practicing the virtue of full disclosure.
The entire reason there is a professional field known as forensic document examination is that a great deal can be told from examination of the original document itself. Much, much less can be told by looking at a photocopy of a document and very little, if anything at all, can be told from looking at a digital image that purports to be an image of an original document. Too much opportunity for adulteration, no opportunity to examine the paper, the ink, any impressions made on the paper, etc. These online arguments discussing images (especially photographic images) are like people studying animals by examining scat.
Forensic document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines,
http://www.asqde.org/SRLines/SandraRLines.htm
a Former Federal Examiner with a long history of expert testimony in state and federal courts, has testified in an affidavit that states, in part:
“I can state with certainty that the COLB presented on the internet by the various groups, which include the “Daily Kos,” the Obama Campaign, “Factcheck.org” and others cannot be relied upon as genuine. Software such as Adobe Photoshop can produce complete images or alter images that appear to be genuine; therefore, any image offered on the internet cannot be relied upon as being a copy of the authentic document.” Sandra Ramsey Lines summary is also posted at U. S. Law Blog.

. . . and Barack Hussein Obama is qualified to be POTUS through his vast record of executive experience, oh wait. I mean through his executive temperment, oh wait I forgot he's really an academic by training. That's right, it's his military leadership background, oh wait I forgot he really doesn't like or trust the military. Then it's got to be his track record in business, oh wait he hates capitalism too.
Well, damn, looks like we've "elected" a hater. And did I mention he's black? And if believing we should hold our national elections according to the Constitution makes me a "Birther", then I'm a Birther, and damn proud of it.

Dear Fellow Americans,
I wish former Governor Sarah Palin had Reagan's boldness, tenacity, and quite frankly the "cahoonas" that were self evident, when President Reagan said to President Mikhail Govrbachev, June 12, 2007 ... "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall"; and just ask Mr. Obama,
"Where's the birth certificate?"
The US Constitution Article 2 Section 1 states,
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
Moreover,
Before he (Mr. Obama) enter on the Execution of his Office, he (Mr. Obama) shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:
"I (Barack Hussein Obama) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I (B.H. Obama) will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
As did Palin, for the Office of Governor for the state of Alaska swear to uphold the US Constitution.
Whereas, under the threat of perjury, all elected government officials, including Palin, McCain, and yes, Mr. Obama, "solemnly swear" to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Therefore, it is a fair and appropriate question to ask, and quite frankly expect evidential certified proof affirming the qualifications for anyone when seeking the office and candidacy for president of the United States of America.
The question, isn't whether Mr. Obama is, or isn't President, but rather, is the US Constitution being adhered to, respected, and honor, as the founding fathers intended, as the law of the land, in spirit and in truth, or not?
The certified birth certificate is a simple $15 document; and should be followed with a release and motion for discovery; granting full disclosure ending the debate once and for all.
Mr. Obama pledged, and promised to the American people to be "open and transparent".
Yet, Mr. Obama spends millions to suppress all and any pertinent and relevant documents, and all and any evidential proof, to those whom dare asks, Mr. Obama,
"Where's the birth certificate?"
So Sarah, like Reagan, ask the tough questions, needing to be asked. Show presidential boldness and leadership for America, and stand up and say,
Mr. President, "Where's the birth certificate?"

Fake or real, the on-line image purported to be Obama's COLB is a red herring with regard to his Constitutional eligibility to ever be a legitimate POTUS.
Regardless of where he was born, he would still be a usurper because, with a British-Kenyan father, he was at best born with dual citizenship rather than the exclusive US citizenship required of a true natural born citizen. Think about it, how can someone possibly be a natural born citizen of two countries at the same time? The idea is nonsensical. Although born a citizen of two countries, he is a natural born citizen of neither.
Obama is a fraud - and he has always known it. And now well into his first year as usurper, so do most Americans. Shame on Obama, the self professed Constitutional scholar for so ignobly trashing one of the fundamental tenets of the Founding document he claims to have studied so well.
Save our Constitution and send the treasonous usurper to a cold, well deserved prison cell where he so justly belongs.
Think well -- see clearly.

Do you think that this article and our blogs prove Sarah's point about the media?! Are you young media rookies stupid or desparate?! While you're gloating in parenthetical blog responses to the number of readers like me you've attracted, Sarah increases the polarization from supporters like me. Continue your keystone-cop-type circus! She's riding the crest of a wave and you're maybe unknowingly caught in the curl of it trying to analyze drops of water falling on you. Keep coming up with your conspiracy theories, pokes, jabs, etc. She'll talk about gaslines, renewable energy sources, budget accountability, and other no-nonsense issues whenever you're ready. When she takes another moment like this to point out how ridiculous you are, maybe you'll get stumped again and go into another new "analysis!"

Asking for a long-form birth certificate is not wrong, it is the answer that is terrifying to some.
The literate public is awakening, and realizing what a mistake Soetoro/Obama is. His own party is seeing through his agenda!!!

My question to you as when has Palin ever been "Mrs Nice"?
She ran one of the most dirtiest campaigns in history, lying, distorting, inciting hate, anger, fear mongering and division of our country.
She will say and do anything to grab a headline and would not know truth if it hit her in the face.
She thumps the Bible while being one of the most hypocritical, dishonest, egotistical "politicians (?) we
have had the misfortune to encounter.
With her insincerity, lack of intelligence, constant need and desire for attention, she will self destruct.

Sarah Palin deserves the Dumb and Getting Dumber Award.
Please lock her up in a padded cell so we don't have intelligent American citizens waiting in long lines for a worthless book which she did not write. People should spend there hard earned money on donations to worthwhile charities like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation not on this pitty party of rubbish which is called "Rogue." Yuk.

Wake up America! The manchild said during the campaign to reform health care with transparency and both parties being involved. This is not the case. He has not uniting the country but dividing. If he was born in America why has he spent millions to deflect the issue. Just show a real birth certificate. Oh by the way, the one from Hawaii is not a birth certificate and why black out the birth number? You can find so many lies in this administration he makes Bill Clinton look like a saint. Health care has nothing to do with helping America. Wait until people find out if you make 45k or more you will have to pay 15K for health program. That's right its right in the bill. Palin is a class act. You my friend are "stupid" Obama is stupid if he was in fact born in America. Just show the stupid certificate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If not your not President by law. End of story. Where is the backbone of this country. Make him produce the copy.
