"Birtherism," as I understand and define it, is that point of view holding that a person is ineligible for the office of president on account of the circumstances of that person's BIRTH, either 1) the person was not born in the U.S. and does not otherwise meet the qualifications for being a citizen at birth and/or 2) the person irrespective of birthplace was born to one or more parents who were not then U.S. Citizens. It's a term originally coined in connection with Obama, but one also now sees "Rubio birther" or "Cruz bither," so it has become term of more generalized use.
As to Obama, things like his Social Security number and SS registration -- while not pertaining to birth or eligibility -- are often so linked together with the birth issues that I'd call those part of Birtherism. However, a politician being accused of habitual lying is as old as politics itself, and hardly something unique to Birtherism.
That's my definition, and I think it's a workable one.
So your response to my pointing out you keep repeating the same thing I've already addressed is to keep repeating it. I answered you in Post #426..
I said Scott interviewed friends and family of S.A. I never said Scott quoted them. I said they gave "testimony" to Scott; but I never said Scott quoted any part verbatim.
In any event, the topic here is eligibility, and no matter whether Scott quoted her sources or not, and no matter even if Scott had never written her book, Hawaii's verification of Obama's birth facts means he's eligible.
I never claimed the media was equal about anything; that's more "in other words" erroneous, dishonest paraphrasing on your part.
How about the claim you have made numerous times on this thread that the media vetted Obama?
I never said "the media vetted Obama." I've not used the word "vetted" at all. You keep using it; I never have. This is just more erroneous, dishonest "in other words" paraphrasing on your part.
In any event, the topic here is eligibility, and no matter whether the media "vetted" Obama a lot or a little or not one teeny bit at all, Hawaii's verification of Obama's birth facts means he's eligible. Hawaii's verification of Obama's birth facts moots your inquiry in to "pregnancy witness" and "birth home photos."
I keep making these points. You've never addressed them, and you lied when you claim you had.
My central point on eligibility not being contested, that point prevails. So I'm in wrap-up mode here. If you wish to address the central eligibility points, I'll consider those. But I'm done with your tangents and distractions.
How do you even have the chutzpah to post me again? Your bluffing and blundering got old eons ago.
For something like the ten millionth time, here is what you said:
“There was at least one biographical piece done on Stanley Ann where the author went and spoke with persons who knew about her relationship with Obama, Jr. So the sort of testimony you appear to be seeking is out there.”
It is a LIE. You lied. You look ridiculous trying to bluff your way past it. You LIED.
Either post the ‘testimony’ or stop looking sillier by the minute. Not even every anti-birther is stupid. You are making a laughingstock of yourself even amongst your compatriots. I guarantee many of them just wish you would shut up.
Of course, they would all breathe a massive sigh of relief if you could/would just post the ‘testimony’.
Put up or shut up.
When you fail to address the other person's main argument, and do so about 25 times, you lose the argument.
I've stuck the fork in and you were done after the 5th time. Everything you've posted since is smokescreen, bluff, distortion, and evasion. So kindly take your grade-school level debating skills and pester someone else next time.
Lol. So when it’s proven you lied, the point becomes “irrelevant”.
You anti-birthers are a comedy show.
