Attending the Tea Party Convention in Nashville this weekend, The Washington Independent's always-excellent David Weigel recounts an extraordinary hallway confrontation between online publisher Andrew Breitbart and WorldNetDaily Editor-in-Chief Joseph Farah over the question of President Obama's citizenship. (Here's the video of his speech, courtesy of C-SPAN. It follows Angela McGlowan's pep talk, starting at the 12.10 mark.)
During his speech, Farah said he hoped that Mr. Obama would not be
able to go into any city without seeing signs asking about his bith
certificate. "It's a simple question but it hasn't been answered," he
said, adding that "it's one of the most important questions that we can
be asking."
Following the speech, Farah was cornered by Weigel, who informed
him that Breitbart had dismissed the birther argument as a losing
political argument. When Breitbart later walked by, Farah insisted that
it was "a winning issue." (You can read the entire article but I want
to reproduce this verbatim snippet.)
"It’s not a winning issue."
