Fox’s Kirsten Powers: GOP Benefits From Death Of Birther Meme

video
» 49 comments

With one very loud exception, finding someone who deems the release of President Obama’s long-form birth certificate a proud moment in American history is near impossible. But while many merely note how unproductive the “birther” issue has been, some Democrats are just sad to see an easy target go. As Fox News Democratic analyst Kirsten Powers explained tonight, all Republicans have wanted was “for this to go away.”

Powers was on Fox Business’ Freedom Watch tonight to discuss the potential winners and losers of the final chapter in the birther diaries, which, like many, host Judge Andrew Napolitano was glad to see dissipate. Asked whether she believed there was a silver lining, Powers replied that she saw “nothing good come of it” and that the entire deal, particularly Donald Trump‘s involvement in the issue, was a “low point” in American politics. But beyond the potential disgrace of the matter, Powers was “kind of disappointed” that the President put the issue to rest. “Politically, it was damaging to Republicans,” she noted, as it made Republicans look crazy and reports were circulating that Republican strategists wanted nothing but “for this to go away.”

Napolitano persisted, however, to push Powers on Trump– namely, his high polling numbers and name recognition. Powers ceded the name recognition point but then noted that his appeal to middle Americans in red states is severely questionable: “what do you think they’re going to do with him in Iowa?”

    The Birthers birthed the After Birthers … and so it is. For 6 more years of daily meltdown. A*M*E*N!

  • felixw

    You have to laugh at Mediaite. They acknowledge the death of the birther story by running birther stories announcing the death of the birther story.

    Writers on this site are addicted to birther stories, and any withdrawal will be slow and painful with many relapses along the way.

    “Fox’s Kirsten Powers: GOP Benefits From Death Of Birther Meme”

    Agreed, the birther thing was stupid and now the republicans will have to now go after Obama’s overall failure as a leader.

    You can’t increase the debt, start a 3rd war, fail to decrease unemployment significantly,constantly print and borrow money effectively devaluing the dollar and therefore increase inflation which ends up hurting more American’s, advocate the ban of off shore drilling which would add to the high gas burden and hurt the American people even more, fail to close GITMO, fail to end two previous wars, make backroom deals with corporations, push failed social policies, you can’t do all that and be considered a success. Failure is truly Obama’s shadow.

    Clearly the above issues are unimportant, what say we talk about non-issues like “birthers”, you, you,you “birther”?

  • Truth

    Kind of shows you how disfunctional the Republican party is. Who will be the GOP candidate of the day tomorrow? If Trump can get top billing by planning the birther card what is this country coming to? I never thought I would see the day the Republican party would be such an embarrassment. We have to look absolutely stupid to other countries to have this issue be at the top of the media stack with everything else going on.

    Typical idiocy from the Left, who have no intellectual substance and try to get by on jokes. But when the election comes around next year, they will find that the joke is on them. They think the election will be decided by a birth certificate. But someone needs to point out to them that the birth certificate is a requirement for the job of President, but not a qualification. When it comes to qualifications, Obama is sorely lacking, as his disastrous track record makes clear.

  • redleaf

    Republicans DO benefit from the end of the birther controversy.
    They were just too stupid to realize it since they were being egged on by right wing radio and Donald Trump.
    So let’s see which Republican neanderthals hold onto the controversy and which let it go and start worrying about more important issues…like why Obama never released his junior high school transcripts.
    RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPTS, OBAMA!!
    WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!!!!

  • Barack Must Go

    Either way, born here…born there Obama’s a failure as a human being, which led to his failure as president, which led to the failure of America continueing through today.

    He has no answers..other than blaming others for his shortcomings.

    He has no plan..other than more of the same that haven’t worked.

    He has no true vision for the future of America..other than becoming like Europe or China.

    He has no right to ask for four more years..for the reasons I’ve listed here and hundreds if not thousands more just like them.

    This country absolutely needs ” Hope & Change ” and I can honestly say after a little over two years of knowing him, Barack Obama just isn’t it.

    That is pretty general statement, but if you are referring to the economy the plan is in place, the market has had several monhts positive movement, jobs are starting to show some recovery, GDP has been in positive territory. The Market in a down turn is always the frist to go and the first to recover. Jobs are always last. This problem was the result of many years of neglect and will not be repaired in 2 years or even 4 years no matter what party is in the drivers seat.

    Who is the republican genie you would ask to come out of the bottle to solve all these problems? I know of no Republican candidate that can bring the kind of “who and changes” you have in mind. If you can name one I would like to hear who and what magic you think they can perform.

    At least Obama was elected on hope and everyone new going in what he represented. Most things Obama has done should be at no surprise for those who paid any attention to what he has said. Is he perfect President, no, but certainly better than anything I have seen of the GOP side. Trump has no ethics at all as with many of his counter parts in the GOP. Notice I did not say all! His political approach I guess is going for the juggler of anyone that gets in his way. He has gotten where he is by leaving a major body count behind him and for one, I cannot trust that type a person in a public office.

    This issue has not been laid to rest, it has been exposed as an actual issue. BO II’s birth certificate has not been revealed. An edited version of it has been produced. Now it could be that they edited it to look exactly like the original, but the original has not been produced.

    33 to 38 % of VOTERS, not Republicans, voters had some issue with his BC before he produced this edited copy. This is not going away. Good news is that Hillary will rethink not running for President and in light of this ‘new’ information will step up to save the Democratic Parties (DNC, SEIU, UAW, etc) chances of winning in 2012.

    My biggest issue are the dates in fields 20 and 22. Why have they been edited? There are other questions that seem relevant to me, but these are my biggest issues.

    I don’t have any issue with his race or even with him being a natural born citizen, just that he has produced an edited copy. It is not authentic.

    Have you examined the long form BC? Can you explain why someone felt the need to doctor up the BC before producing it? I’m not arguing that BO II is not a natural born citizen, I want to know why the BC that they put out 2 days ago was edited. I also just downloaded another version, also from http://www.whitehouse.gov that is slightly different than the one published on Wed. While the layers are still there, the clipping mask has been cleaned up.

    Who gives a rat’s ass whether the Republican favoring FNC or Democrat leaning everyone else (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and the list goes on) is keeping this propped up? I am now. I couldn’t care less about BO II’s BC before he produced the edited copy. As clearly stated in the link to another post above, I have issue with his Socialism (National no less) and his inescapable Hubris, not his natural born citizenship.

    Someone has ILLEGALLY altered a US vital statistic record. While there is no State Seal or Notary Seal on it, it has been altered and was delivered to the American Public as Authentic. It is not authentic. Now I have a problem with that.

    There are much better professionals than you or me or a Fox panel that can exam and agree to its on authenticity. I realize that everyone with an internet connection has become overnight an expert. That is what’s wrong with this country everyone thinks they are an expert, no matter what the subject. Why don’t we get on with figuring out how to develop a 2012 budget instead of trying to solve this Nancy Drew mystery.

    Perhaps there is some truth to that, but an equally disturbing phenomenon in American is the millions of losers who think because they can’t nor have tried to arrive at an understanding themselves, that someone else who has not been labeled an ‘expert’ by someone they trust does not have that ability, in this case to discern fraud from authentic.

    Wow, someone who can’t even attempt to see an opponent’s paradigm suggests that we all just move along and leave the mystery up to experts. Yeah. :) Every once in while I am truly stunned at the Domesticated and Dependent culture that the US has produced over the last few decades. Can you tie your own shoes? Lemme guess Velcro, right?

    Why would I trust a man who releases edited documents as authentic to oversee the development of the Federal Budget? When his team secretly produced ObamaCare and crammed it down an unwilling public’s throat. There are many more, but it would actually take your own thoughts to process. I know , I know, “there are much better professionals” who can develop a budget, bla bla bla.

    Our nation is in trouble, but not peril. If you was completely populated with the Domesticated it would be in peril, thankfully there are still millions who can think for themselves. Does it not bother you that you are so helpless?

    Neither KP nor Napolitano can figure out what’s best for the U.S., and even if they could figure it out they wouldn’t have the integrity to acknowledge it.

    For almost three years, the MSM has been lying and misleading about the basic facts of O’s background. All those who want this issue to just go away are willing to give the MSM a pass on endlessly lying and misleading about the *facts* of this matter.

    And, anyone who wants to give MSM lies a pass doesn’t care what’s best for the U.S.

    Obama rode this thing out as long as the polls were wildly in his favor on this. As soon as they started slipping, he released it. People (as in : People whose minds aren’t on politics 24/7) were sick of hearing about this BS, and he knew that keeping it alive and dragged out was just going to make people just as exhausted of him as they are of Trump.

    So now you know more than the Judge. Where did you get your law degree?

    US Code Title 8 Chapter 12 1409 shows BO II is technically a natural born citizen since BO was already married when he illegally married Ann Dunham. Ann was unwed when she had BO II so no matter where he was born, he acquires the citizenship of his mother.

    Why BO II has an edited copy of his BC on display is worth knowing, but it ain’t his citizenship.

    I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but I do know how to research. We should never look for someone else’s opinion or aid without having first failed an honest attempt.

While the layers are still there, the clipping mask has been cleaned up. Who gives a rat’s ass whether the Republican favoring FNC or Democrat leaning everyone else (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and the list goes on) is keeping this propped up? I am now. I couldn’t care less about BO II’s BC before he produced the edited copy. As clearly stated in the link to another post above, I have issue with his Socialism (National no less) and his inescapable Hubris, not his natural born citizenship. Someone has ILLEGALLY altered a US vital statistic record. While there is no State Seal or Notary Seal on it, it has been altered and was delivered to the American Public as Authentic. It is not authentic. Now I have a problem with that.

    Hey! You seem to be all researchy!

    Care to put this much effort into that other Birther issue?

    What makes people think Barry released his birth certificate, a contemporaneous record of birth showing birth parents?

    When a child is adopted at birth, an original birth certificate is created showing birth parents.

    An amended birth certificate is created showing the adoptive parents.

    I suspect the latest proffered “birth certificate” from the Great Pretender is the latter, an amended birth certificate showing adoptive parents. Sophisticated forensic document analysis aside, it looks to me like the latest “birth certificate” is folded back at the top to obscure the printed or, more likely, typed word “AMENDED”.

    A key test of the document’s validity is not the document itself, but an analysis of Obama’s DNA. If, as I suspect, an analysis of his DNA shows it’s biologically impossible for him to be the child of a Negro father and a Caucasian mother, the latest proffered “birth certificate” can not be accepted as valid. Either it is somebody else’s birth certificate, or, much more likely, it is Barry’s amended birth certificate reflecting his adoption by Stanley Ann Dunham and Obama the alien black Luo tribesman.

    Congress and the state legislatures should investigate the Obama matter, starting with subpoenae of Obama’s DNA and Hawai’i’s vital records of him. In view of Obama’s clandestine M.O., all officials with jurisdiction or on whom jurisdiction can be conferred by law are duty bound to investigate.
    It is utterly unacceptable for America to be unable to identify the pretender to the Office of President. The failure to ascertain Mr. Obama’s biological identity lends great weight to the proposition that he claims his adoptive parents as his birth parents in order to maintain the hoax that he is half Negro, so that he can make a fraudulent racial appeal for votes and denigrate opponents as racists.

    Every state’s Secretary of State should require verified DNA samples from Obama to determine whether his past and future applications for ballot positions were and will be honest and in good faith, or fraudulent in light of his latest claimed “birth certificate”.

    If genetic analysis disproves the latest proffered “birth certificate”, Barry’s applications for ballot placement should be rejected until he finally produces for all the world to see, at long last, his true, original, birth certificate, a contemporaneous record of birth showing actual birth parents consistent with his DNA. I would bet Obama’s birth mother was Polynesian, from whom he inherits his warm mahogany complexion, and his birth father was Caucasian, not an alien black Luo tribesman who made it with a white chick.

    Of course, there still remains the question whether Barry lost U.S. citizenship in the course of acquiring and exercising Indonesian citizenship as a lad and as an adult, This, too must be the subject of official investigations.

    Obama is going to a DNA test for you, at the same time you take a mental evaluation! Grasping at straws, but there are no straws there, this is over!

    There is a simple way to get BO II’s DNA, just get a swab off the nose off any of the hundreds of brown-nosers that follow him around jockeying for position to get there nose between his cheeks. The Press Corp is a likely group or Union leaders who visit the White House multiple times a week might be another potential set, but it may turn out that BO II’s nose is contaminated with their DNA instead.

    While BO II’s, or Junior as he will now likely be affectionately known, followers are certain to become more entrenched, yet his mysterious life of poor grades and being bounced around from those who didn’t want him into the hands of socialists is going to be put to great scrutiny by those he labeled as his enemy, and those (cough-Hillary- cough) who keep him closer than their friends.

    He hates being questioned. He’s going to come unhinged. His family and political life are going to be a constant hell until he is able to hide himself from the public eye. He has already earned all the humiliation that is coming his way, and is still working hard for more. Those with his level of hubris deserve no pity nor quarter.

    He hates being questioned! …When? (never)…. He’s going to come unhinged! (after all the tea lies and he hasn’t even blinked) Is this just spin, or something in the “tea bubble” you want to be true! Keep the hate and lies alive!

    As to Fox’s “roll” [sic] in the birther controversy:Bill O’Reilly came out on Fox against the Trump birther nonsenseGlenn Beck came out on Fox against the Trump birther nonsenseGreg Gutfeld (Redeye) came out on Fox against the Trump birther nonsenseShep Smith came out on Fox against the Trump birther nonsenseEtc.

    Suffice to say that anybody who is not a complete idiot came out against the latest Trump birther nonsense.

    What’s more telling is that one can scarcely name 4 people on the entire Fox Network to call these birthers out on their lunacy. Finally.
