Janine Turner is the latest Hollywood star to tout the Tea Party and Birther messages.
Janine Turner is best known for play the role of Maggie, the tough-but-vulnerable Maggie the Pilot in the hit show "Northern Exposure." While filming, she lived in eastern King County where her neighbors said she kept to herself. After the leaving the series, she starred in two movies, a television show on Lifetime Network, then moved back to Texas and had a daughter. Along the way, she discovered religion and has spent the last few years promoting religious videos, Christian Yoga, called "Christoga", and started a radio show.
Janine recently debuted her conservative, political talk radio show on Talk Radio KLIF 570 in the Dallas/Fort Worth market: The Janine Turner Show – American Exposure - Hollywood Flair, Washington Savvy, American True Grit. Janine is a highly acclaimed public speaker, First Lady of Texas Anita Perry says, “After hearing Janine speak, I felt inspired, touched, motivated and – quite frankly – in awe. Her speech was riveting.” Ed Gillespie, former chairman of the RNC says, “Janine is a rare mix of talented actress and principled committed conservative. Her understanding of how entertainment shapes our culture makes her a potent force and sought after speaker.” Governor Sarah Palin says, “Actress Janine Turner was an eloquent supporter, particularly on the subject of women in politics and the strength and value of single moms who are committed to raising solid citizens.” On her radio website she promotes links to books and articles that claim President Obama was born in Kenya.
"Her Op-Ed articles have been published in media outlets such as Fox Opinion, the Daily Caller and she is an “Arena” contributor to Politico.

She is a frequent guest on the Laura Ingraham, William Bennett, Lou Dobbs, Steve Gill Show and Glenn Beck radio shows and is a sought after regular guest on other popular radio shows across the country.

We think Maggie O'Connell would say it's all bunk.
A 9-11 truther is more wacked out than being a birther. The birther ship has long since sailed in spite of the Donald might want to try and stir up to no advantage- wish he'd put a sock in it.
Sadly, the constitution is not taken seriously by most politicians and judiciary based on some of the laws currently on the books and past SCOTUS decisions. That has been the case for the last 100+ years, so its nothing new. Woodrow Wilson started to bastardize the constitution (some claim Lincoln did that with the Civil War), followed by FDR, LBJ, Nixon and the list goes on. Maggie O'Connell should focus on that and less on the Kenya birthplace BS.
Obama actually promoted Kenya birthplace in a book written in 1991 when the author stated he was from Kenya upfront, so it might pick up sales. "Choom" Obama thought it sounded cool evidently, as he did not opt to have it changed.

It’s just silly. Obama was born in Hawaii. It’s over, Birthers. But Donald didn’t get the memo. In an interview with the Daily Beast published today, he said:
“Look, it’s very simple,” said Trump, who has spent the past 13 months questioning Obama’s constitutional eligibility to occupy the White House (and only doubled down with his stubborn skepticism after Obama produced a long-form birth certificate, certifying he was born on Aug. 4, 1961, in Hawaii, and then hilariously roasted him at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner). “A book publisher came out three days ago and said that in his written synopsis of his book,” Trump went on, “he said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia. His mother never spent a day in the hospital.”
Donald. Bubbie. Yes, Obama did say that, but he was lying.
The part about being born in Kenya isn’t true. Obama made it up. He was fibbing. Prevaricating. Perpetuating a falsehood. Some would call it BS. A whopper. A statement that had no basis in reality. If it were possible for Obama’s buttocks to literally detach from his body as the result of a lie, that one would do it.

Truthers and Birthers....yikes!
I do remember when Janine Turner was a brunette and she was gorgeous.
You all forgot her stellar work as Laura on General Hospital back in the day...

It's really sad that such a beautiful actress has gone to the dark side. I saw her Christian yoga schtick and it was ridiculous.

Actually, she is on the light side, as she is a platinum blonde. Up is down, right is left and the sunrise is sunset - right David ?

Ahhh please. Everyone has an opinion. She only has a 2 hour show per week, and it's on Saturday. I've met Ms. Turner, she's a nice lady. Doesn't push her agenda when out in public. I'd sit down and have a beer and or coffee again with her. Don't have someone elses opinion sway yours.

It really no longer matters that Obama may be Kenyan. He came along when we needed a African-American to prove we are not a racist nation. The world now knows the truth about us.
This lady is now just another in the chattering class trying to get a pay check during these shitty times for our industry. Good for her. Looks like a little live and local in Texas. Remember those days here?

Whether or not Maggie would have approved of Janine's schtick, you can be damn sure that Dr. Fleischman wouldn't.
