Meet Bainers, the New Birthers
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 13th at 04:46 AM |
First, let’s dispense with the bull shiitake mushrooms. Condi Rice is not the veep pick. She served President Bush for 8 years, has never been elected, and is pro-abortion. It’s not happening. Likewise, much of the fawning the left does over Rice has more to do with her carefully portrayed image as a spoiller to Rumsfeld and Cheney than to her actual, though admittedly impressive, | Read More »
The Media Skirts Past Sarah Palin’s Uterus and Truthers in Search of Birthers
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 25th at 07:00 AM |
There is no need to write ten thousand words to highlight what is perhaps the very best example these days of profound liberal bias in the media. Andrew Sullivan is now working for the Daily Beast and Newsweek after spending a great deal of time at the Atlantic. No one in the media cares to note that Andrew Sullivan is obsessed with Sarah Palin’s uterus | Read More »

Read this email from a birther. Then consider changing things like “birth place” dual citizenship” and “natural born status” to “foreign money. From: Kandace Ricotta Subject: Your latest birther comments in today’s Morning Briefing Date: October 13, 2010 10:00:02 AM EDT To: Erick Erickson Dear Mr. Erickson, Why is it that you continue to refuse to look at the VALID questions surrounding Obama’s eligibility?

Barack Obama the Birther
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 12th at 12:59 PM |
Barack Obama accusing the Chamber of Commerce of laundering foreign money and putting it into the election this year is as crazy as the Birthers demanding to see his birth certificate having convinced themselves Obama is a foreign born manchurian candidate. I largely agree with Glenn Reynolds on this. Obama is raising the specter of foreign influence in the election so his base views the | Read More »
J.D. Hayworth and the Birther Issue: A Non-Story
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | February 18th at 11:18 AM |
I just got off the phone with Congressman J. D. Hayworth about the birther issue and my post from last night. He said definitely that Barack Obama is the President of the United States and meets all the legal and constitutional requirements to be President. Period. End of Story. The Congressman said the issue has come up on his radio show when callers called in | Read More »
My final thought on the birther issue
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | February 14th at 02:31 PM |
A lot of you have asked if I’ve gotten any more emails. Below the fold, a compilation of emails that have come in. But above the fold, my final word. Based on the facts, it is very clear that President Obama is our lawfully elected President and the Office of President of the United States of America requires that though we may disagree with him | Read More »
The Big Birfer Speaks
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | February 13th at 07:21 PM |
This is about the funniest thing I’ve ever read. Ladies and gentlemen, this guy is some sort of pseudo-journalist mouthpiece for that idiot lawyer from California, Orly Taitz. These are the people we are relying on to document the eligibility of Barack Obama?!?! Charlton writes It appears that Eric Erickson, the Editor-in-Chief of Redstate.com, is an attorney who once practiced law in the same courthouse | Read More »

“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 [birfers and truthers]… ” We’ve always banned truthers at RedState.

Judge Clay Land: Great American Hero
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 16th at 01:10 PM |
Clay Land is a Federal Judge in the Middle District of Georgia, Columbus Division. He is a Bush appointee and a solid guy. When I was a lawyer we has some interaction. Today, he threw out Connie Rhodes’s lawsuit. That lawsuit is the one filed claiming Rhodes cannot be deployed to Iraq because Barack Obama is “not constitutionally eligible to act as Commander in Chief | Read More »
Your Truther v. Birther Open Thread
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 4th at 12:57 PM |
If Barack Obama can hire a 9/11 Truther as his green jobs czar, maybe we all should give the birthers a bit more latitude. Consider this an open thread.
On Birthers, Obama, Muslims, and More
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 29th at 08:40 PM |
I’ve said for a long time now that the fixation on Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a distraction. I think Barack Obama is a natural born American citizen because his mother was indisputably an American citizen. I think he meets the residency requirements. And I think that Justice Scalia himself would not throw the President out of office now that he has been sworn in. | Read More »
