In another triumph of BS over reality, Yahoo News is trumpeting an article with the headline "Rick Perry Flirsts with Birtherism". To say the least, any candidate who is promoting the idea that president Obama was not born in the USA even after the release of Obama's birth certificate could only be classified as a a total idiot. As a result, I read the article to see what nonsense Perry was spouting. Of course, it turns out that that the answer is that the only nonsense was coming from the reporter.
Perry was asked about whether or not Obama was born in the USA. Perry's answer was that he really did not know much about that but that the entire issue did not matter and was only a distraction. Perry also mentioned that he had met with Donald Trump. After being asked what Trump said, Perry reported that Trump is not sure if Obama's birth certificate is real. In other words, Perry does not care at all about Obama's birth certificate, but Trump spoke about it. Yahoo translates this into Perry "flirting" with birtherism; this is, of course, total BS from Yahoo News.
I have Yahoo as my home page, so I see Yahoo News headlines each time I open the internet. As a news service, Yahoo News is a lot like MSNBC, totally biased. Even so, this slam at Rick Perry was totally uncalled for. Yahoo should withdraw the story and apologize.
