Sarah Palin Rebuffs 'Birthers,' but Some Supporters Just Won't Have It
By David Sessions - Politics DailyA day after calling the questioning of President Obama's citizenship a "fair question," Sarah Palin took to her Facebook page to make herself clear: She is not a "birther," and compared the hunt for Obama's "true" birth certificate to rumors during the 2008 campaign that her son, Trig, was not really her child.
