Update: Some people are commenting that they can’t load the clip, so here’s a transcript.
Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?
I think the public, rightfully, is still making it an issue. I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I would have to bother to make it an issue 'cause I think there are enough members of the electorate who still want answers.
Do you think it's a fair question to be looking at?
I think it's a fair question, just like I think past associations and past voting record — all of that is fair game. You know, I've got to tell you, too: I think our campaign, the McCain/Palin campaign didn't do a good enough job in that area. We didn't call out Obama and some of his associates on their records and what their beliefs were and perhaps what their future plans were. And I don't think that that was fair to voters to not have done our jobs as candidates and as a campaign to bring to light a lot of the things that now we're seeing made manifest in the administration.
I mean, truly, if your past is fair game and your kids are fair game, certainly Obama's past should be. I mean, we want to treat men and women equally, right?
Hey, you know, that's a great point, in that weird conspiracy-theory freaky thing that people talk about that Trig isn't my real son. And a lot of people say, "Well you need to produce his birth certificate! You need to prove that he's your kid!" Which we have done. But yeah, so maybe we could reverse that and use the same [unintelligible]-type thinking on them.
Excellent comment about this over at Radio Patriot. My favorite point? The lamestream media won't talk about this, even though they'd love to have Palin addressing the issue, because they DARE NOT MENTION the birth certificate/ineligibility issue.
Following is all in quotes:
The Memeorandum page this morning is exactly like I expected — top heavy with commentary about — gasp! — Sarah Palin’s comments about Obama’s birth certificate during yesterday evening’s radio interview with talker Rusty Humphries.
What toute la monde is chewing dishtowels about this morning ranges from “Sarah’s a birther!” to “It’s a reasonable question”. But it’s one that the mainstream media won’t — can’t — touch with a ten foot pole.
As my show producer Dave said, they’re in quandary — “They can’t take this opportunity to smash Palin once again for fear of reporting on the birth certificate story. They’ve got the club in their hand but they can’t use it.”
Pinch is half insane this morning. If Palin had come out and said ‘I believe in flying saucers’, they’d report that in a hot second, but they can’t touch this — you know they’re banging their heads on the edge of their desks. They can’t write this story — cannot take this opportunity to smash Palin. This birth certificate/eligibility issue is a no-fly zone.
And they like to paint her as stupid? I’m laughing out loud. Dumb like a fox. She’s placed this issue squarely on the front page of controversy. Where it needs to be.
She’s supporting the troops and agreeing with Obama that he did the right thing by sending in 30,000 more to fight the war in Afghanistan. The Code Pinkos are melting Obama’s White House phone. Obama and Palin are on the same side! Omigod! The Left is writhing. Rahm Emanuel’s trying to find a restroom to hide in.
But Sarah’s just a dumb cluck from Alaska. Right.
Anyone who has read my blogs or tuned in to my radio program knows I’ve been asking ‘who the heck is Barack Hussein Obama‘ ever since he first appeared on the national radar screen. And here’s why:
What we DO know about BHO:
His childhood mentor was Frank Davis Marshall, who spied on U.S. military installations in Hawaii for the Soviet Union; edited a communist newspaper; authored pronographic novels; and wrote poetry in praise of Joseph Stalin.
BHO was mentored by and is still supported by radical Muslims.
BHO promised tansparency in government, but has spent over a million dollars in legal fees hiding information that would determine his Constitutional eligibility to be President.
He is a former drug user.
BHO’s academic records are sealed from kindergarten through law school.
He was deserted in childhood by his supposed biological father.
He has produced no legitimate birth certificate which would indicate his place of birth, the attending physician, and any other pertinent information found on your or my birth certificate.
He is a president who refused to intercept or inspect a North Korean ship virtually certain to be carrying weapons of mass destruction to Burma.
A president who wants to cancel all missile defense while rogue nations are developing long-range ballistic missiles.
An American president who blames the violence in Mexico on America.
A Commander in Cheif who claims to have been unaware that Air Force One was taken on a terrifying, low-level “photo-op” over Manhattan. And do we really know who was on-board that aircraft during the flyover joyride?
A president who berates American CEOs for flying in private planes at private expense on company business, but whose wife spends hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars flying to Paris for a shopping spree.
A president who promised a transparent administration but requires all questions be screened before impromptu appearances.
A man who freely admits his energy policies are designed to bankrupt the American coal industry.
A president who has presided over the loss of 14.7 + million jobs and whose energy policy will cause the loss of another million jobs.
A president whose energy policy will increase the average American utility bills by over $2,000 a year, in the middle of the Great Recession.
A man about whom liberal journalist Tom Brokaw said, “There’s a lot about him we don’t know”… just one week before the election.
But someone knows who he is.
Someone paid for his travel expenses to Pakistan and Indonesia.
Someone engineered legal challenges to all of his election opponents for the State Senate and had them disqualified.
Someone straightened and leveled his path to the U.S. Senate when a Democrat Judge made public the child custody records of his Republican opponent.
When he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate, someone arranged for him to speak at the 2004 Democratic National Convention
Someone saw to it that all of his records were sealed, at home and abroad
Someone assembled the massive organization for his run for Presidency
Someone knows all about him. And it for sure isn’t us.
But we’re disparaged as “Birthers” by hypocrites who “won’t go there”, yet still ask why it is we know so little about Obama; Conspiracy Freaks by those who are simply ignorant of the facts; and “Trolls” by self-appointed “betters” simply for asking.
I love Sarah. But I have to say, her comment about them not calling out the obama people,,,I don't think any of it would have made any difference. We all knew. We knew and we tried to get the word out, and we learned fast that nothing was going to "debotify" a bot.
I still cannot understand what he/they did to suck so many in on blind faith, yet they did. The bots only cared about shouting yes we can, and didn't give one fig about what was real.
I don't think anything the McCain people could have done would have changed that.

I love your word "debotify." I don't think we have to worry as much about that any longer, since as the kool-aid kids are seeing what their mess-iah is really like, they're leaving Camp Obummer in droves. The best way to "debotify" someone is to let them listen to Barry and see him in action.

I think it tells us a lot that the msm STILL won't report on this. They're scared shtless. I can't wait to see what Sarah does next. She knows there's an elephant in the room and she's not afraid to say so.
