The intrepid Donald Trump.

. . . . .

Robin of Berkeley has a great exposition of the Obama/Trump/birther phenomena.  She writes:

And then there’s the “birther” controversy.  The progressives have controlled and framed the concept right from the get-go.  This has been one of the many issues (including “tea baggers”) that the left has seized upon to tar conservatives.

The left has painted “birthers” as racists, nuts, and paranoids.  What gets left out of the equation is: one, Obama has spent millions of dollars on attorneys protecting his birth certificate; two, Obama apparently traveled to Pakistan in 1981 when Americans were banned from going there; and three, Obama’s social security number is purportedly from Connecticut, a state in which he never lived.

Although there are valid questions about the mysterious Mr. O, until lately, it’s been impossible to get the average American to listen.  This is because the left is so much better at controlling what enters the collective unconscious.

Of course, the left controls the flow of ideas by maintaining a stranglehold on the mainstream media.  But there’s another reason: the left subscribes to Alinsky-type smear tactics.
