The Progressive movement spent 8 years attacking George W Bush non stop. They destroyed his Presidency because of their ruthlessness and his lack of fighting back. Then the Progressives went after Sarah Palin. Although she fought back, because of her inexperience, they destroyed her as well. The Progressives though have finally met their match.
Donald Trump has turned the tables on the Left. He attacks the media to their face, unlike other Republicans who complain about the bias. He even went after Obama not showing his birth certificate. To the shock of the Left and the Eunuchs of the GOP elites, Obama cracked and showed it. Trump got his demand of seeing Obama’s birth records. Now some Progressives are calling him a bully!
Donald Trump is basically birther Orly Taitz with better hair. Or do I have that backwards? The idea that this “carnival barker,” in President Obama’s words, got the White House to bow to filthy birther rumors about his ineligibility to be president, and belatedly produce his long-form birth certificate, makes me deeply sad.
But was it the right thing to do politically? We can’t know that yet. Certainly I was encouraged by seeing an indignant Obama take the podium, note he was getting attention he likely wouldn’t get for a foreign policy announcement, and tear into the media for letting Trump’s birther sideshow drown out all other news.

But I worry that bowing to bullying rewards bullies, and this paranoid, vicious faction in American politics, the one that says a black president has to show extra papers, extra credentials to be accepted, will never be satisfied.
Cry me a river. Progressives are ruthless and show no mercy. Now someone has beaten them at their own game and they cry about Trump’s bullying. This shows the Left can’t take attacks when pressed. I hope other Republicans emulate Trump’s tactics. I doubt it since the GOP is the party of political Eunuchs.
