From zachjonesishome...well put...
Last night I made the mistake of watching O’Reilly on FOX. He was discussing Dr. Orly Taitz’s fine with two supposed attorneys. In just a few seconds O’Reilly showed why people are losing faith with all commentators who go into topic with their minds made up. Rarely do media personalities present both sides fairly. O’Reilly is one of the worst violators given that he likes to put a ton of spin in his “no spin zone”. He regularly presents his side of an argument as fact and calls everyone else “pin-heads”.
It was blatantly obvious that neither of the “attorneys” had done even a cursory examination of the eligibility issue. If they had, they would know the eligibility issue revolves around the question of Obama’s status or lack of status as a “Natural Born Citizen”. O’Rielly and his guests took the position (as fact) that Obama is a “Citizen” without explaining the differences between a “Citizen” and a “Natural Born Citizen”. However, they failed to explain that there exists a lot of evidence, direct and circumstantial, that continues to call into question where Obama was born. It is not a settled issue. Furthermore, even if Obama was born in Hawaii, it his likely that Obama is not a “Natural Born Citizen” because of the Kenyan/British citizenship of his father and the law of Great Britain at the time.
It was obvious that O’Reilly and his guests were simply trying to paint Dr. Orly Taitz as some kind of nut case. If O’Reilly expects me to watch him again, he will extend to Dr. Taitz an opportunity to explain her position. If he does so people will quickly realize that there is a serious problem with Obama’s eligibility to serve as President of the United States.
