you said:
“what SANE PERSON is going to be so STUPID and BRAINLESS as to believe unsubstantiated accusations” (emphasis mine)

You are insinuating that those questioning Obama’s eligibility are insane.

You are straight up calling them stupid & brainless.

Now I would call those insulting comments, No?

Also public opinion is not a court of law. How would you bring a suit if at first you did not speculate, investigate, & postulate?

You are suggesting that until we have “PROOF” we should just “SHUT UP”. Sounds familiar??? Are you a PAID Obama operative or are you just a volunteer?

No, I am not saying “shut up.” Not at all. Just be clear that you are not claiming to know for sure. Y’all just sound so positive of things, as if you actually had proof.

You all are obviously not insane or stupid. Normally, you would not believe allegations to be true without proof, but in this case, the impression your words leave with the reader is that you “believe” things without any hard evidence. In other words, somehow people’s emotions are overtaking their normal ability to be rational.

And so what happens? People go around looking for even the flimsiest bit of innuendo that will support the belief that they want to be true, even if it means buying into some discredited legal “theory” about natural born citizenship that there is absolutely no evidence to support.

I actually think Freepers are a whole lot smarter than that. Why else would I try to wake you up?

I’ve said a hundred or more times that I wish there was evidence against him. Until there is, if I feel like chastising people for being gullible and letting their passion guide their rationality, I am going to do so.

But I am hardly saying “shut up.” I am not stopping my own efforts to find the truth, either, but I am careful to not make our side look foolish and ignorant.
