Sister Sarah Runs For Queen

Queen of the Birthers, that is. Here's what she said chatting with talk radio host Rusty Humphries. (via Rumproast)
"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," she replied.
"Do you think it's a fair question to be looking at?" Humphries persisted.

"I think it's a fair question, just like I think past association and past voting records -- all of that is fair game," Palin said. "The McCain-Palin campaign didn't do a good enough job in that area."

McCain's campaign counsel has said the campaign did look into the birth certificate question and, like every other serious examination, dismissed it.

Palin suggested that the questions were fair play because of "the weird conspiracy theory freaky thing that people talk about that Trig isn't my real son -- 'You need to produce his birth certificate, you need to prove that he's your kid,' which we have done."

"Maybe we can reverse that," she said, returning to Obama's birth certificate, describing the type of thinking involved with a word that isn't clear in the audio.
So while the McCain campaign dismissed the Birther nonsense, Sarah thought it was fair game.  Her Facebook post late last night "clarified" her position:


Stupid Conspiracies: 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. Conspiracy-minded reporters and voters had a right to ask… which they have repeatedly. But 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.

How cute.  It's not Sarah who thinks Obama is The Kenyan Usurper Prime, but it's all those people out there who have a right to ask repeatedly about Obama being a U.S. citizen (except not asking about Trig, she has his birth certificate you see, so that's been put to rest).

Will nobody out there do their patriotic duty to protect Trig and ask all those Birther questions for Moose Lady?  Inquiring minds want to know.  After all, dozens of Democratic Members of Congress have gone on record questioning Trig's parentage, so Democrats are just as crazy as Birthers...

Only...Democrats aren't questioning Trig's birth certificate.  (Sully is, but he's just British and odd.)  Nice try though.
