Ok: Here we are a week into the announced presidential candidacy of Ted Cruz and credible media for the right and the left is pretty much unanimously acknowledging that since his mother was American at the time of his birth, he's a natural born citizen even though his father was a foreign national and Cruz was born outside this country.
I see lots of little facebook postings like "Now the liberal left cares where a candidate was born."
Two problems with the postings: 1. Cruz' foreign birth is unambiguously true, while Obama's foreign birth was subject of bogus rumor.
2. None of the media giving credence those bogus rumors bothered to figure out that it didn't affect Obama's eligibility for office. Now, a week into the Cruz campaign, they're unambiguously sure.
Why the hell aren't viewers of FOX new and other conservative media not pissed at having their chains yanked for 4-5 years? Why are they attacking the left, instead of FOX, Donald Trump, Lou Dobbs and a cast of millions who busily sent out email about Muslim Obama's Kenyan birth but never bothered to learn it was a completely bogus non-issue? The Constitution hasn't changed since 2008. Why did FOX subject its viewers to dozens of panel discussions on the "Kenyan birth" manned by folks who looked and sounded nutty enough to attend the Mad Hatters Tea Party? Why did Trump, claiming to speak for millions, excoriate the mainstream media for rightly pooh-poohing the birther nonsense?
