OTOH by keeping it on the table we increase the chances that someone will be joggled into remembering or finding a simple easily understandable and unassailable proof of his ineligibility for the highest office in the land.
***This brings up the point that those of us who aren’t professional photoshop users and forgery detectives are having trouble keeping up with the back & forth. We need a simple recap thread. And I mean simple.
Simple would be good.
Impossible, but good.
Here’s a simple recap, but spread over several posts.
Part One:
It all started with a June 9 article by Jim Geraghty on the National Review, http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZTgxZmIwNTg0OWVhMWJkODNmZjI4ZjY4Mjg2OWRmNzI=, that asked “Why doesn’t Obama make his birth certificate public so as to quell the rumor that he is not a US Citizen?”
Then on June 10, his article was reprinted in the Daily Kos blog. Two days later, an image that Daily Kos claimed was a copy of Obama’s actual birth certificate.”
The initial problem was that this image did not resemble any birth certificate that anyone had ever seen.
With good reason, because this was not a “Birth Certificate,” but a “Certification of Live Birth.” If certified, the COLB (the acronym I created) serves to validate a person’s birth date and place, much like a birth certificate would.
However, the public took exception to the contents, and the lack thereof, of the COLB, especially labeling the RACE of Obama’s father as AFRICAN, and leaving out all of the otrher data that birth certtificates usually have
I looked at the COLB image on the Kos, and immediately noticed something fishy. The text looked like it had been altered, and so present my findings to the blogsphere, I started The Greater Evil.
