The Chicago Tribune has a story, via Howard, arguing that the Internet is helping to keep alive the very silly rumors that Obama’s birth certificate has been forged and that he is ineligible for the presidency:
This is a different army at work, in an environment increasingly influenced by the Internet.
“It’s only being mentioned by a relative few, by the real die-hard, anti-Obama crowd,” said Michael Harrison, editor and publisher of Talkers magazine, the trade bible of the talk-radio industry. “On mainstream talk radio, it’s not a big deal right now. I think it’s run its course.”
“But,” Harrison added, “we live in a time that, because of the Internet, all points of view can live forever.”
I suspect that when we get to the bottom of the Obama birth certificate story, we will learn that Obama’s true mother is Bristol Palin. I mean, have you noticed that that there are no photographs available of Bristol Palin in 1961, the year Obama was born? What is the media hiding?
