Karl Rove: Obama suckered Republicans into becoming birthers

“But take a look at recent polls,” Rove added. “The problem was the view was taking hold among independents. He got worried it was about to spin out of control.”
The Republican suggested it was cynical of Obama to wait until now to disclose the long-form.
“He had the ability to release it last year and end the issue, but he wanted to play rope-a-dope with Republicans,” Rove said.
It's hard to believe these guys keep on saying such stupid stuff. Yesterday it was Jonah Goldberg. Now it's Bush's brain. The thing that neither of them realize is that Barack Obama does not control the Republican mind. Even if he did, don't you think he'd have used his Jedi powers to get some support for health care reform, the stimulus, and maybe even climate change?
More importantly, both of them believe that before yesterday's release of the long-form birth certificate, it was legitimate to wonder if Obama was in fact born in the United States...and that's as nutty as birtherism! Releasing this additional piece of paper doesn't settle anything that wasn't already settled.
The facts is we already knew that President Obama was born in the United States beyond any doubt. We already had his certificate of live birth, not one but two separate birth announcements in local papers who printed birth announcements from hospital records, witnesses who had seen this original birth certificate, and of course also the fact that his mother was an American and his grandfather fought in World War II.
The release of yesterday's document shouldn't make you any more convinced that President Obama was born in Hawaii than you were previously, because even before the release of the long-form birth certificate, there was no rational basis upon which to doubt his place of birth.
To put it differently, no self-respecting birther should be any less convinced today than they were two days ago. Two days ago, birthers were living in a fantasy land. And today they are too. And if you don't realize that before yesterday it was crazy to believe anything but the fact that Obama was born in Hawaii, then you're as disconnected from reality as the birthers. And there's a good chance your name is Karl Rove.

the funny part is that this is actualy an admission that the republicans know full well that they court the stupid for votes.
cuz ya gotta be a sucker to fall for the birth certificate issue.so if playing that card serves to manipulate republicans, it means the republicans are stupid.not all of course.but that special tea party section that they play to as "real america".
they have to be so bummed that the left finally started playing in the mud with manipulating the simple folk.i mean that has been a republican game for so long.its gotta hurt

Actually the birth certificate has been the best distraction for Obama.
All of Obama's supporters have now rallied around in support of him now that he produced the birth certificate and "debunked" all the birthers. With the support of the media, fully carrying the water for Obama, they can keep playing this up every few years all the way to 2016.
If there's one thing about the Obama White House, they sure know how to play their supporters.
Yup they're playing you guys like cheap violins!

Soooo Karl what you're saying is that the GOP and the baggers are victims of a plot by the Obama Administration. Tell you what moron, if the GOP and baggers collectively dig a big hole and all jump, how is that Obamas fault? Admit the simple truth you putz, the GOP and their bastard offspring the teabaggers are bigoted pigs. Either that or Obama is a damn genius at making birther fools look even stupider than they seem.
Oh, and by the way Karl, when you get the inevitable backlash your stupid remarks cause, feel free to blame that on a trap Obama set for you.

So the guy who started his political career by "joining" a democratic campaigning party in 1969 (his early college years) to sneak in one night and print 1000 fliers with campaign letterheads to claim "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing" and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters only to claim later that it was a misguided youthful prank is claiming that Obama suckered republicans into becoming birthers?
It is like a ninja assassin masterfully claiming to the feudal lord that his own chief of security is in fact an assassin, except the ninja assassin in this case is a fat little idiot with friends in high places and the feudal lord is a nations public, at least some of seem to suffer from a low I.Q.

Okay, so now you're blaming Obama for you being a birther! WTF???? I need to be a teapublican - you don't have to make sense, you don't have to tell the truth, you don't have to get any facts remotely straight, you don't have to take responsibility for any of your actions, and you can blame anybody else for anything you say, do, or believe it! Not only that, you can get massive amounts of cash from corporations!!!
WOW, where do I sign up.

For a person who promised hope and civility in politics, Mr. Obama has shown a borderline obsessiveness in blaming Mr. Bush.
Karl RoveFor a person who talks about not blaming the other guy, Mr. Rove has shown what a complete tool he is by blaming Obama for the rabid, knuckle-dragging republicans obsession with a god damn birth certificate -

No matter what. If you a Republican..."it's Obama's fault".
They'll likely say that Obama goated them on, or tricked them into being birthers. - 1 year ago

I believe Rove just admitted that he and his republican hopefuls don,t have the intelligence to compete with Obama.Now do we really have to wonder why none of them have declared they are running but then they are not totally dumb they do know if you are a lightweight you don,t climb in the ring with the heavyweight champion

what a bunch of bunk. If that was the reason for not presenting the long form any soon then why in the heck release it now - the election is still 18 month away. Obama could have "rope a dope"d a lot more of these GOP fools

How Rovian! President Obama planned the Birthers. 'Just say it' is alive and well. 'Just say it' and move along. The American people are too dumbed down to realize they are being spun by Rovian 'strategery'.

What a ridiculous statement.Racist can't be suckered into racist behavior, although it can be attributed to their up-bringing..
Karl Rove, and the liars on the right are starting to spin their webs of deception by blaming President Obama for their racist deeds..Most Republicans/Tea Baggers have a birther mentality, and they are the only ones responsible for it.. - 1 year ago

Until the last 2 days I was seriously questioning voting for Obama (yeah I know, politicalamazon would be glad to hear that), but today I had an epiphany -- I'm voting for him again just to bug the phuque out of mo-Rons like Rove/Trump/Badyear Blimp/ the Koch[roaches], and republiwon'ts everywhere!
This is worse than the silly season, it's like we've all been sucked down the rabbit hole with no way to get back to reality. - 1 year ago

Why can't people give credit to the Republicans for discrediting their own party? I mean the worked so hard, even by supporting things no sound minded human would even suggest, only to be over shadowed by something that just annoyed everyone.

Let's re-read Karl "turd blossom" Rove's quote here: “He had the ability to release it last year and end the issue, but he wanted to play rope-a-dope with Republicans." Well Karl, who are the dopes in that equation? I believe it's your team.
