I thought the signature informing agent of the Birthers was that Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii? Brown doesn’t say that, so I think to title this article “Scott’s Brown 2008 Birther Rhetoric” is a tad disingenuous.

I’m really not sure of the media angle here, but…

It’s an off-year, off-date election. The winner will be determined by whichever candidate gets more of their supporters to the polls and I don’t see how a verbal gaffe will motivate anybody “anti”.

While you know, though his expression of ignorance seems innocent enough, if the liberal bloggers wanted to wrap this in some kind of birther cloth, it could have an opposite effect.

A supposed Scott Brown gaffe makes mediaite, yet the numerous Coakley gaffes don’t? LOL
YUP – mediaite=msnbc

Read on Instapundit:

Barney Frank said: “Obama is not Coakley dressed in drag”
Reader reply: “With all the gaffes that she has made, I’m starting to think that Martha Coakley is Joe Biden in drag.”

HA!

WOW…a 12 second clip is what Joe is hangin his hat on? Methinks Joe needs a nap…or a new hat.
I don’t have a dog in this fight…I just don’t care….but I do know that if this is the Sunday surprise…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..

Weak weak oh so friggin weak.

Perhaps he got the idea from Michelle Obama?
“Barack saw his mother, who was very young and very single when she had him, and he saw her work hard to complete her education and try to raise he and his sister.” ~ Michelle Obama

“His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was “very young and very single when she had him.” And, Obama added, he has observed his wife’s attempts to reconcile motherhood with her career aspirations.”

Or maybe he got it from Rev. Wright? “”Hillary doesn’t know what it feels like to be raised by a single poor white mother, Barack does!”

Perhaps Brown remembered Obama saying he was raised by a single mother, which he repeated quite often.

“I was raised by a single mother.”

Scott was discussing attacks against the Palins, and Bristol Palin, and brought up that Obama’s mother was young too. The blogs only provided the :15 clip, thus leaving off the context of the discussion. Surprise.
You can see the longer clip here.

Obama, himself, hints that his father and mother’s wedding may not have been properly documented. “How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore. There’s no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance; it’s not even clear that people back in Kansas were informed.” Obama writes in his memoir.

TPM states (although, does seem to be a bit of a contradiction to Obama’s book):

“Now the factual record on this is clear. Obama’s parents were married February, 1961, and Obama was born in early August of the same year. So his mother was certainly married when he was born.”

This appears to have everything to do with the discussion Brown was having in the video, Obama’s mother was single when she got pregnant, just like Bristol Palin.

The only issue this brings up is the desperation by some to try to turn this into a smear by posting a mere snipit of the conversation.

Yes,

This will be the reason Brown loses. Mothers that gave birth while unmarried will change their loyalties to Coakley.

Those mothers changing votes will outnumber the hospital workers wishing to express religious freedoms that last week submited their resignations to their hospital employers.

Oh, and outnumber the MA Yankees fans that learned this week that Curt Schilling is actually a Redsox fan.

Yes, a definite 5 point swing.

So with all the Coakley humor that is available this is what this site came up with for this election?. Hell, for all the heat Palin receives for being an intellectual lightweight you would think Coakley mispelling the name of her home state in a campaign ad would have deserved some attention.

Martini: Not to mention her “there are no terrorists in Afghanistan”

Sign seen at Brown rally:

“For the first time in my life, I’m proud of my State”.

Obama has Daddy issues that’s fo sure.

Coakley: Curt Shilling is a Yankees fan!

Actually whether barrack was born out of wedlock or not falls under that age old file called:

WHO GIVES A CRAP!?!?!?!?!?

:P

If this all ya got for a “Sunday Surprise” you better not hold your breath.

hehe, interesting

Good try Joe. Your propaganda efforts will end in tears. For you.

Kennedy doesn’t Know Coakley’s Name

“she (his daughter) had to deal with Simon Cowell, I had to deal with David Gergan”.

Actually, it is going to come out later this year that Obama was never born at all. He was, in fact, conceived in a test tube in a lab, secretly funded by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, with a little “input” by Barney Frank. All of his thoughts and actions are controlled in the basement of the New Endicott Building by the mad scientist’ Dobbie Gillis and Maynard G krebbs.
He never attended college, as well.

Sarainitaly, you seem to gloss over the most important part of his life story. For the vast majority of his young life, Obama was raised by his mother only and his grandparents. Just because she had a marriage certificate does not mean she was not alone.

Oh come on! Don’t be ridiculous!

Everyone knows he was grown in George Soros’s labs! :P

Fantastic post, SaraInItaly!

Thank you so much for providing context for Brown’s statement!

sarainitaly,

I hope you don’t mind that I took the liberty of pasting your rebuttal to the Obama’s mama canard, in the
“Keith Olbermann ‘Proves’ His Case Against Scott Brown” thread.
